5 Ways To Start Raw Feeding Your Pet

[@XxGamer]

Let's face it, most humans don't even eat a balanced diet, best way to learn how to Feed Raw is to just do it. Adjust accordingly.

What if your dog has a sensitive digestive system?

[@WolfPackPlanet]

@@baublesanddollsHumans also have sensitive tummies and we just eat whatever so again just adjust accordingly! If you notice something upsets your pups stomach replace it with an alternative and go from there!

[@katherine1304]

feeding raw is making me more mindful about what i eat too. it’s making me want to look into the correct ratios for human biology and just pretend I’m learning to feed another pet because apparently that’s how my brain will be able to latch onto the idea 😂

[@LiberteCherie-ev7kp]

We understand each other 👍🤣

I feed my dogs Primal freeze dried raw with raw goat milk for breakfast. For dinner I add either Primal or Instinct raw frozen and I also will add in different fresh raw proteins such as angus beef stew, chicken, pork tenderloin, sardines, raw organic eggs, bone broth, and different veggies, raw chicken wing, beef and chicken livers and gizzards. I like to add variety to their meals and I hope they have enough supplements. You are so awesome and I love your videos.

I get my food from my butcher it cost around $1.25 a pound it has chicken, beef, pork and organs , grinded up bones,together. I get 70 pounds at a time and weigh it roughly to 10 ounces then put it in a container for frozen foods( bought off amazon 50 lids and containers in a box). I then put it all in a freezer. I take out one container in the morning and let it thaw out. At dinner I put the container in a clear glass dish , boil water and cover the container for 15 minutes which warms it a bit, I add two capsules of fish oil, some broccoli, sweet potatoes 3 slices,coconut oil 1 teaspoon, some blueberries and some calcium powered just a little bit 1/8 and put it all in a bowl and feed my dog.

[@michelemarie7777]

Q: does your butcher grind it for you?

Just starting raw feedinging my boy Clyde ... 5 month old cane corso rotti and got to say ty for helping to make things a little more clear.

[@SparkyKitsune]

Update for Clover eating raw, I started feeding her Primal freeze dried nuggets pretty recently! She loves it so much. I'm mostly feeding her a 50/50 ratio of it and she's doing well on it and I think we'll keep her on this diet in the future!

[@ffflyin1697]

Can I please ask, how do you balance the food if you’re feeding 50% freeze dried and 50% kibble/fresh raw? Would it still be balanced if doing it 50/50 on a daily basis?

[@leanadomsan]

I just got back my dog's food intolerance results and I'm devastated. He's allergic to everything! He can only have grass fed beef, lamb, eggs and soy. Everything else (barley, chicken, corn, duck, lentil, milk, millet, oatmeal, peanuts, pork, potato, quinoa, rabbit, rice, salmon, sweet potato, turkey, venison, wheat & whitefish) I had to eliminate from his diet to avoid the severe reactions he was presenting. My boy Duke really needs to eat and be treated like royalty. 😅

[@khristinamarie9837]

My dog is the same. Allergic to 90% of things. I have to do his raw food with all the thing he is not Allergic to. I can feed my dog Grass-fed ground beef. And conventionally raised chicken thighs.

[@PawsofPrey]

Jeez! Shocking even some of the novel proteins are something he's allergic to. Have you actually seen him react to all of these foods?

[@leanadomsan]

@@khristinamarie9837 I feel your pain. Food prices in NYC have soared. I have no clue what I am going to do. My dog eats better than I do.

[@khristinamarie9837]

​@PawsofPrey so for my dog I see him suffering so bad with some foods. I could not figure out what proteins ect to feed him and his paws were always so red and he would bite them all the time. I had to put him on apoquel just to relieve him but, that medication makes him act so weird so I took him off. I finally did the intolerance test and seems to help but I have to pay attention to grass fed or grain fed meats. So hard to do a balanced diet and or change up his food because of that. I know variety is good but for some dogs they might have to eat the same proteins. Love your videos!!

[@khristinamarie9837]

​@@leanadomsanI'm in ga so maybe prices are better, but i find that buying in bulk, like costco meat is cheaper than chain grocery stores.

[@bezelleblanc2580]

My 11-month-old pomeranian has Blue Buffalo kibble in the morning, and for dinner, it's Primal freeze-dried raw with a few Instinct pumpkin toppers for gut health. The kibble is mainly to help keep her teeth clean.

[@PatrickJurchevich]

I started feeding my dog raw 11 months ago at 8 and a half Years old( bear in mind that till that point he ate mixture of orijen kibble and table scraps) after i did months of research on it. And it was a strugle at first😥, he didn’t want to eat his premade raw, and it stressed me out. But i didn’t give up, and slowly he began to Eat his premade grinds, and almost a year later he now eats all by himself off of a plate, which is a big deal for me, beacause i had to hand feed him till this point since he refused to Eat it himself lol. He is still on premade raw with added toppers( pasture raised and fed raw goats milk, dehydrated meat treats etc.) and i would love to make him DIY homemade meals, and i tried months ago, but he would Eat them for few days, after which he would just sniff it and walk away, and even feeding it at his next meal didn’t work. But Ive been adding few chunks of Grass fed and finished beef to his meals lately and he eats them first, then rest of his meal, so he got my hopes up again start making him homemade diet. Have your fingers crossed for me guys!🤞🏻🤞🏻 Sorry for a long comment, i was just inspired by this video to share my raw feeding story.😅

[@PawsofPrey]

I love the determination you had with switching him over! Sounds like he likes the chunks, so that's a great step towards DIY!

[@PatrickJurchevich]

⁠@@PawsofPrey thank you Mariah, it means alot coming from you, your videos were a big inspiration to switch him in the first place! He’s now in better shape externally and internally than ever.

My cat doesn’t like freeze dried raw food. She likes raw a lot. But what I do is partially make all her raw food. I follow a PMR model in general with a mix I make along with a mix I buy to give her supplemental ingredients she needs. I buy a complete and balanced raw as well and still put my homemade mix of ingredients like dried kelp, probiotics, green mussel powder as well as nutritional yeast and dried green and grass powders. I add fish and egg yolks as a treat every now and then. And a local pet food store sells a variety of PMR style raw meats from sources I can buy at Albertsons or Safeway, such as venison, antelope, Guinea fowl, etc. I try to switch up her main source of meat as much as I can. Also I don’t grind my meat. I give her small chunks of meat. And small raw bones to gnaw on with her regular meals. She picks those out first before any ground meat I give her. I fed a modified version of this to an older dog I was pet sitting and he loved it so much I left some in the ref for the owners when they came home. They couldn’t believe how much their baby loved it and how much energy he had afterwards.

[@heathnorthpoke9825]

I used to feed Homemade diy raw but now my lifestyle changed a lot, I dont have the time I need to feed diy to my dog and cat. Now I feed around 80% Pre made raw and 20% homemade! I feed pre-made raw I add supplements bcs the brand I use only has muscle meat in it( and veggeies for the dog), and I also add different types of fish, mussels, raw meaty bones(1-2 a week for teeth cleaning), I add other cuts of meats such as green tripe, whole quails(for bone also), And other meats. also add bone broth, eggs, kefir…

[@keziha5315]

I currently feed pre made frozen but want to have a play in making some DIY food for my cats ❤ Wish me luck 😊

[@fatmadani8793]

I’m trying to make a diy homemade raw cat food, but it’s still not completely balanced can I just add the freeze dried toppers alongside it? And will that make it a balanced meal?

[@bitsandpieces1869]

i absolutely love all of your videos, thank you for being you! i have a question though, what size plastic containers do you use while meal prepping?

[@onlyinparadise4613]

I downloaded your free cheat sheet last year. How often do you update this cheat sheet? Thank you 🙏

[@PawsofPrey]

There are minor updates to this one from the one last year! But nothing too crazy

[@Nyaiv]

As well as making sure my pet is getting all the nutrition it needs through looking up and adding together the nutritional information, do I also have to make sure each thing I feed it adds up to it's daily caloric need?

[@dalebailey754]

I like these videos, but most raw dog feeders and coaches make this extremely difficult and confusing for the beginner. I like listening to Dr. Connor Brady. He’s a vet, nutritionist, with a background in zoology from Ireland. He’s not all about you being perfectly balanced, pouring over spreadsheets. Instead, you take the principals, use the eyeball method, and your meals balance out over time. No living being has completely balanced meals at every feeding. Feed them a variety to get a variety of nutrients. Definitely loosely follow the 80/10/10 rule, make veggies and fruits extras, and, over time, they get what they need. Don’t know why people insist on over complicating things. Wild dogs and wolves, as well as feral dogs eat this way. Our pets can eat this way too.

[@sukuntee]

May I ask you, how do you celebrate your cat’s birthdays? I haven’t yet, bc I dont know how to make it even more extra special than to feed raw diet and do walk outs in a pet stroller…🤷‍♀️ which I do fairly regularly,

[@Melek_Ipek]

I am using prey model for 3 years. I will check my recipe and try to find why my cats lost their appetite. I don't want to go back to kibble after 3 years but I am afraid of malnutrition they already lost some weight.

[@StephanieXNathalie]

Hi! I've been trying to feed my cat raw meat using the 80/20 method for some time now, but my cat refuses to eat the food when he sees that there is raw food in it too. My cat was fed dry food mainly when he was younger and now he has become very used to it.

[@Hipoporita]

Thank you for another great video packed with essential info, short & sweet🤩🤩🤩 I have a question! Have you ever had any parasite issue feeding raw? I'm plant-based for years now but I handle raw meat & fish for my cats so I'm being super careful. Growing up in Japan eating raw fish for many years but never experienced a parasite problem that I'm aware of myself and my cats seem fine. I believe you mentioned freezing to kill parasites in the video long time ago (sorry, could be wrong) but I'm curious if you have ever experienced.

[@PawsofPrey]

Thank you :) yes there are ways to prevent parasites, I go over that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXe7aH1noqqcoJo&ab_channel=PawsofPrey

What exactly does a dog need in vegetables and fruit. I'm pretty sure dogs can make their own vitamin c unlike humans

[@zentember]

for the equation for caloric intake do we really to raise the product by .75 power? i am getting a kind of smallish number for my answer for my 13lb dog

[@PawsofPrey]

That's how the established equation is laid out, yes! The multiplier in the second part is what raises the calories depending on your dog's energy level/body condition.

[@jamesmcguinness6195]

Is chicken legs ok for a rottweiler to eat raw? Wondering if it counts as a weight bearing bone that shouldn't be fed but in one video i seen you say rabbit legs were ok for medium-sized dogs so would chicken legs be ok?

[@dalebailey754]

Depends on the size of the dog. I wouldn’t feed a Chicken leg to my 20 pound Boston, but, if I had a German Shepherd, I absolutely would.

[@kagancowa1743]

I'm having a bit of a hard time with raw feeding topic. I'm considering many breeds right now and one of them is a sighthound. I've been following this account for pretty much a year now and I was getting really excited on getting my future puppy and immidietly feeding it fully raw, but recently I've heard that sighthounds for thousands of years have been mostly fed bread and low protein table scraps, so they wouldn't eat their hunters catch, and the dogs didn't were bred the most. Does this mean that sighthounds might not thrive on a raw diet? And even if they might, might ratios apply to them differently as they have literally no body fat?

[@nogames8982]

Absolutely not. Interesting theory though.😜 feed your sight hound a raw diet just like you would any other dog.

[@kagancowa1743]

[@elainelow4839]

Not linked to this video but since you just posted 33 mins ago thought I might try my luck!! According to one of your older videos, you mention to feed oysters 0.1oz to 4oz of food. If I happen to feed more is there any risk? I used your formulator to balance it all and had planned for 40g of oysters per meal, but I can't find anything on "overfeeding oysters" pup is 3.7kg only

[@PawsofPrey]

It usually only takes a very small amount of oysters to meet zinc needs, so I'm sure if you're using the formulator and meeting zinc needs (and not going over by much) it's just fine!

[@bendeguzvarga816]

Oke am I the only one who still feels the biggest question is still not answered. The reason why we don't eat raw and we don't feed raw is parasites, maggots, bacteria etc. How can you make sure that the meet won't have any parasites? Cause heat is the most effective way to sanitize it. And just saying you should trust the regulations and stores it's not enough. As they can't really do much to fight microscopic beings

@@PawsofPrey Hi, Thank you but I'm not convinced at all. I give raw food to my dog, because they won't have very big issues even if thwy get sick because they are vaccinated or druged againts the most harmful diseses. But these practices are not garanteeing a risk free feeding and not reducing these organisms near to 100%. If you really want to avoid something hand washing and other sanitation are just a small step. As many of these organisms come from jnside the meat or from the processing of it. So I guess the answer is that the benefit is higher as it's healthier to ur dog, but also the risks are higher than dry food

I did too. . .until One of the woman I worked with was asked to brown the ground beef for a taco bar was providing and she was grossed out? I was baffled. . . but then I'd been helping my mother grind raw for her dogs for years at that point. . .the fun parts were the heart and liver because they don't need to be forced down into the grinder like the chicken back pieces she would use for the bulk of the diet at the time. Every time I mention I intend to switch our two cats over to raw my mother-in-law gets the most disgusted look on her face. But then, can't even convince her not to feed her dogs kibble despite the younger one has eating problems and clearly wants anything but kibble. But no. . .take responsibility for her own pets health? And she wonders why I hate dog sitting for them.
