DIY Homestead Dog Food // Raw Feeding Diet

[@jeremiahthelion]

Also ... The comparison between Thuggy and Bill Clinton almost made me spit out my drink 🤣

[@tydeg2887]

So good!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Glad it made you laugh my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@tammyeaker655]

Great idea. I do not have a freeze dryer so I do a simular thing except I can mine. I add sweet potatoes and other overage veggies to my meat and bone broth and my Lab and Shitzu both LOVE IT. My vet says they are perfectly healthy and they are happy happy happy .

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Awesome Tammy. Thanks for watching!

[@LadysFarm]

I used to give my Husky all raw diet. It was way cheaper for us. He absolutely loved it. All the gizzards heart liver in the legs he loved them on a chicken ❤

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Love to hear it my friend. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@bobertcronos8433]

The guerilla garden at my aunts house gave her a truck load of pumkins. My cousin pureed them, then freeze-dried them for her dogs.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Nice Bobert! Love to hear it!

[@justfurthehealthofit]

My local butcher grinds all saw scraps and sells that as pet food, contains all the leftover bits. My GSD had so many problems until I switched her to all raw. And yes, 💩 is so small and disappears so fast! Plus, my 80 pound GSD only eats 12 ounces a day. Then they get all the fruit and veggies from the garden they want.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for watching!

[@debbieschaffner2581]

When we got a rescue dog, German Shepherd, he was is bad shape and just had surgery for kidney and gaul bladder stones. The vet said her would need a specialized diet for the rest of his life. After doing research, we decided to give him a all raw food diet. The vet couldn't believe the change in him at his 6 mo check up. His digestion was functioning normally. His coat was thick and shiny. His teeth were strong and white and no "dog breath". When meat started getting more expensive, we bought meat from the big grocery stores. He didn't like the meat at all. He could tell the difference between "factory raised " meats and grass fed, and refused commercial chicken.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks for sharing my friend. Incredible!

[@doodlesthegoose7085]

Interesting that even a dog could tell factory raised meats aren't good. We had a rescue we saved with raw diet too. It's a shame we didn't get her sooner. When we first got her, she had to have all her teeth removed as they were rotting so badly and her mouth was so infected. If I knew then what I know now, I probably could have saved them too! We originally gave her a very high end kibble. She was so bad on any kibble at all, she was psycho. It really affected her neurologically. Today, she ALMOST acts just like her name, Zen. We're not sure how old she is but she is definitely old and gray but she runs like a puppy. I attribute that to her diet.

[@summerlove0426]

include the egg shells, its a great source of calcium & magnesium. my dog loves it with his raw diet!

[@justfurthehealthofit]

Yep, I give mine the entire egg.

[@mylightofhope]

I have 3 dogs and they often leave the shells.

[@davidwayne68]

My uncle owned a small butcher shop 30 years ago and I can remember once a week we would whip up a huge batch of dog food. Chicken livers, fat, eggs and sometimes he would even incorporate some stale bread that didn't sell. He would feed it to his wife's champion breed of Dalmations that lived off this stuff. Homestead-made dog food is the best!

[@jeremiahthelion]

Now I'm wondering if I can call the processor back who has my cow and ask for the lungs and sinew...

[@christiegrows2022]

Great use of resources. We raw feed our dog too. I’m going to try the eggs never thought of those

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

You got it my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@bl8680]

My dog aint getting that heart! Lol. Pig heart makes a great Filipino soup called Bachoy. It's basically tenderized by simmering with garlic, Ginger and onions. Sliced into small thin slices and makes a great broth. Served with steamed rice and scallions. But hey! I share with my fur babies 😁 Great video! BTW Chloe looks healthy! Good size and shiney coat 😍

[@mandiegarrett1706]

LOL...I can relate because I do the same, except for now, we don't have fur babies but plan to get some in the near future. For now, we are enjoying eating almost everything of meat.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Glad you liked the video my friend.

[@fresnokidsr]

Awwe dang it man that sounds so so so good

[@chrisfisher3900]

Dry those egg shells and you can grind them up and add calcium to their food. Also good to add to the compost pile and makes them easier to break down

[@whitefeather572]

My Dobie tries to lick the “silver “ off the bowl when he gets his eggs 😅 I think he gets that bowl cleaned as good as soap and water.. lol

[@doodlesthegoose7085]

My ridgeback does the exact same thing.

[@homesteadaquarius]

"Feral as Bill" 😆 Great job Billy! Great food for dogs or the cat.

[@Alfredopeppy]

Thanks for this video Billy

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Of course Aaron. Thanks for watching!

[@Mercedes65]

I save all the meat scraps for my dogs. I share my beef liver, heart, and kidney as well. They know when I make bone broth-I give them the meat scraps and chicken feet for days! They love it!

[@mycrookedlittlehomestead8363]

My son in law took up butchering with a friend he gives me àll the cut offs from deer to moose to pigs and what ever the cut up I have always done this same way with all the different dogs I had over 40 years my dog I have right now is going on 13 and still has all his teeth and loves his raw meat/fat and yes I feed it to my chickens to lol that's normal for me and my dogs

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Nice my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@ml.5377]

In Peru, specially in the countryside, nothing - and that really is nothing-gets thrown away. We eat offal, use the fat, the bones, everything.

[@doodlesthegoose7085]

My dogs get my "dirty eggs" (which I do wash) but they get eggshell and all RAW. They get a high fat % beef (we found high fat was necessary for one of our dogs who we couldn't get weight on for years!). They also get a good % of their meals in vegetables. This time of year, we're feeding them winter squash. In summer they get some berries, zucchini, green beans, and occasionally a tomato (when they get in the garden and thieve them off the vine)! We add some yogurt, dried kelp and powdered garlic. They love it and I've never seen healthier dogs! I wish we'd started this years ago. They do miss out on most organ meats because I didn't "process" those into smaller packages when our animals were butchered. This will be remedied when we buy another whole beef. They do get some bone as well. I ordered some sardines for a weekly high fat infusion for they and our chickens because Vitacost had a darn good price. I bought 50 cans.

[@IngloriousHomestead]

thanks Billy!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Of course my friend!

[@thewildingslanding]

We mix kibble with homemade dog food and eggs. We give our dogs the shells too, broken up well. I can homemade dog food (scraps from meats & vegetables) as well.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’m sure they love it. Thanks for watching!

[@gailmarlatt8029]

Raw food made a big difference in my old dogs. We are able to pick pick up a 40lb case of chicken for about $35. We grind it up bone and all. Cheaper than kibble.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

You ain’t wrong my friend!

[@GrandmaKarenHasAFarm]

Excellent video! I've sent hogs and steers to our local butcher and you've helped me realize that there is a lot I am not getting back that would be very useful. My dogs get eggs from my chickens, milk from my goats and bones and meat from the animals we've had processed plus an occasional mean rooster! They eat the whole thing-- including most of the feathers. Carnivores and omnivores in the wild eat raw eggs and meat. God designed it that way.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Amen to that my friend. Thanks so much for watching!

[@tpaw6908]

That's very God for their costs. Look how healthy they look. Good scraps makes the doggies better.👍❤️🙏

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Amen to that my friend!

[@kimsmith5471]

Very cool ! Thank You for the info.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Of course Kim. Thanks a lot for watching!

[@dmcc1703]

Great stuff! I appreciate your doing this. I've been thinking about this for our 3 pooches for a while now.

[@mylightofhope]

I would prefer feeding my dog v solely this way but I haven't ever found a guide as to how much to feed my dogs. I do feed twice/day. I saved all organ meat and tongue from a cow and have canned some remaining from a previous butchering for my dogs and have some to preserve from this recent butchering for them. I never thought about dehydrating it (I don't have a freeze dryer) thanks for that idea!!

[@slimrosco]

You are right about the kibble. At my local Pet Store, the bag size has went down by like 6 pounds and the price has almost doubled. It’s such a scam.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

It’s definitely cold blooded…

[@michaelhoggard591]

Thank you Billy for the great info on the dog food an treats. Great insight! As always! 🙂

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Of course Michael. Thanks for watching!

[@SYMBIOTEDINOSAUR]

I would love to feed my dog like this I bet he would be so much healthier and happier.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I have no doubt, my friend!

[@SmokeEater509]

New to this channel but you guys are freakin awesome

[@SG-vu4qy]

when I was little my Mom always fed her show cats a raw diet. her litters were always double the normal amount, and she raised many champions, even after she labeled some pet quality. she never bought kibble.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Shes doing something right!

[@LG-gw6xw]

Raw is much better for them. I add raw vegetables too.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I agree my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@jenniexfuller]

YAY! Thanks so much for posting this video like a day or two after I requested it! You guys are AMAZING! I have the freeze dryer, the dog, the chickens/eggs, but lack our own pigs/cattle (cattle’s are next, starting with dairy cow). In the interim perhaps I can seek a butcher buddy. My dog is fat and expensive! And he has terrible allergies. I’m sure his diet has something to do with it.

[@christinenatvig2313]

Mine has bad allergies as well.

[@texasmimi3019]

My shepherd has allergies, as well. Must get her off the kibble!!

[@thorashebear7604]

Hello! New to your page. First video I watched was you showing Milkboy doing some pup training. We are doing some homework on LGDs prior to getting one, that's how I found your page! So glad I did too, sounds like we're on very similar pages. Excited to check out more videos, thanks!

[@marninacollins6449]

Thank you so much for this information! God bless 🙏❤

[@kiprussell6102]

Great job on using the whole pig. Lot healthier for the dog as well. Jumping on a different subject. I saw the video that Justin Metcalf put out yesterday.. I am still skeptical but I can't help but to hope he is on the up and up. Especially since the bible says to forgive thy brother 7 times 70. Keep your eyes on him and prayer on his head. You Michelle and William are a special family and I truly trust your opinion. We greatly appreciate your teachings and ideas for the community. Keep up the good work and God bless you all

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Appreciate the kind words Kip. Thanks a lot!

[@lifephotos]

I have a yellow Lab and she is a doggie garbage disposal😋

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I believe you my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@BearBottomHomestead]

Raw eggs and other food is great for dogs. I too have noticed the shrinkflation with our dog food provider.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I hope these methods help!

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Always enjoy your videos! This is fantastic information, even for those of us who are between dogs at the moment... Definitely something to consider with our next pup.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Glad you enjoyed the video Heather!

[@rachels1845]

I feed my dog raw eggs, as well as the shell. He loves them! He gets raw meat when we can.

[@tydeg2887]

Great video! I hope you have all your videos backed up offline in an "emp proof" storage device cause you never know and I'll want to view all this again after the .... "event" lol Keep up the great work!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a lot Ty!

[@rachelholdt6840]

I cut the heart and liver into small pieces and then flash froze them. My dog loves them. Just another way to preserve if you don't have a freeze dryer.

[@undertheblood31]

I tired giving my dog raw meat and he won't eat it so I slow cook his food mostly. I use black beans brown rice, liver, chicken green beans, banana/apple, tuna and sweet potato, apple cider vinegar and eggs w/shell and cook it in bone broth. I usually add coconut oil in his bowl when feeding him.. He loves it.

[@rpblue2004]

Dog gone good eatin!

[@jeffdover6845]

I have 3 English bulldogs 14 yo 4 yo and a 2 yo,been on raw since i got em at 12 weeks old!No health issues

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

I fry or bake most of my dog's food. It's almost exactly what I eat except onions and mushrooms I don't give her. She's 15.5yrs old. Still tries to tick me off daily 7 out 10 days she does. Twice today all because I was paying attention to the baby chicks. She's so jealous.

[@johnstjean1422]

Will definitely try on my dogs 👍🏽 100 percent a better diet for them

[@Gl3nS]

Those eggs are making Chloe's coat very healthy

[@lleestimer2547]

hubs must be an alpha male, he would fight you for the heart, liver and feet!

[@brianmcclemens2802]

Blessed ❤

[@clipsfromcherie]

That's great. Most people that make dog food don't give enough organ meat and bones. Dogs need 20% bones and 10% organ meat or they will become nutrient deficient. Raw neck and rib bones are ideal because they are easy to eat.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I agree my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@slimrosco]

Bruh…. He just said that animal looks like Doby from Harry Potter….. HAHAHAHAHA. Man that is hilarious. Poor dog or whatever that thing is. Haha.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Just trying to keep it real Jeff.

[@slimrosco]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Well I absolutely appreciate that about you. And the fact that you compared it to Doby is just classic. I’m still laughing to myself.

[@allonesame6467]

For me, I would make pate with the liver--so yummy! But, Oh, my goodness! Those dogs eat very well.

[@charlottepuglisi2893]

I couldn't tell if you threw out the eggs shells in the garbage. Eggs shells can be dried and ground into a powder with a coffee grinder or mortal and pestle if you want/need to add calcium. Veterinarians can test calcium in blood to see if it is too high or too low. Your dogs all look happy.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

They sure are and very cool my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@fresnokidsr]

Not to mention look how shiney Nala's coat is if I'm not mistaken the eggs play a part in that. As far as cooking the food goes dogs don't cook in nature so why cook there food for them? Just sayin' thank you Billy for this neat little video. I wish I had a place of my own but I don't on account of I'm an over the road trucker. When it comes time for me to get off the road and get my own place and start accruing a few animals I will be adapting the info that you give us in these videos to my situation. Thank you guys very much. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care

[@spookystitches9075]

Will we be able to preorder for the comfrey? I made a mistake buying it for the first time and the roots arrived black. My dumb luck and I won’t make it again. Looking forward to buying from someone I can trust.

[@HeatherNaturaly]

I don't have the land for many animals, but a neighbor shot 2 feral pigs and gave them to us for dog food. It was seriously painful to process them, but a lot of the meat was perfectly good for human consumption. I halved my dog food bill for that month. I want to raise rabbits for raw feeding, but the Pyrenees don't like eating 'someone' they have been protecting and I have trouble getting them to eat the rabbits unless they have been frozen. Same with the chickens. No way I can raise enough meat to maintain 3 of the monsters. Rice, pasta and sweet potatoes are good fillers, but they need the protein.. *sigh Kibble.. Went from $19 to $30+ and 50 to 40 lb

[@kimg9606]

Can it be any meat, or just the pork? Meat and fat?

[@beckykarson6306]

Any recommendations for getting affordable raw meat when you don't have a animal of your own to slaughter?

[@trippnbilly7130]

Clinton on Eptstien island😂😂😂

[@pb5731]

Do you find your dogs go after your fresh laid eggs outside b/c of feeding them raw eggs? I think one of my dogs would do that and I would need to find a solution to that.

[@texasmimi3019]

My shepherd looks for freshly laid eggs every time we go outside! I have to be smarter and faster than her! lol

[@Cowboys8Panel]

🐶

[@gregreinhart5928]

We trap close to 100 beaver a year our terriers eat well.

[@reenyny9502]

Are the dogs at risk for trichinosis from the raw pork?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

If it were a wild pig, I would be concerned.

[@falconefamilyfarm9839]

I love raw food diets and utilizing all parts of the animals and not throwing food away. BUT, I'm not so sure I like the idea of promoting the feeding pure pork fat with a couple eggs in it. This would be okay (but not ideal) in the short term. But in the long run, this is definitely not a balanced diet and is lacking in several nutrients. The organ meats are the most important part. I'm a big believer in the PMR style raw diet in which the whole animals is eaten. The way your feeding would be even more balanced if you included the other pig parts that probably get thrown away like the eyes, brain, blood, legs, hooves, stomach, ect. My local meat market sells vacuum sealed pig legs for dogs. And you can find pig snout treats at most holistic pet stores. Something to think about.

[@thomasbartels2813]

How many times a day do you feed your dog that amount?

[@FloridaGirl-]

He said 2x. 👍

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Twice a day my friend!

[@thomasbartels2813]

I don’t have pigs but I have chickens and I butcher my own deer at hunting season

[@Gl3nS]

The Epstein-Clinton joke laid me out lol

[@jimt6151]

In over half a century, I've known more veterinarians than your dogs can wag a tail at. I have NEVER...EVER...met a veterinarian that didn't straight-up RECOMMEND feeding raw eggs to dogs, at least on an occasional basis! Who says "no raw eggs for dogs"??

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

Doesn't she need veggies, fruits for a rounded Diet? Nancy from nebraska

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Not at all. These guys are perfectly fine on a carnivore diet.

[@sheilanc1]

Just pig fat and eggs?? I can't wrap my head around that. I just found your channel I'm watching . I raise chickens and turkeys . Have horses that just cost me money but they are old and did at one time make me money. No hog's or beef here. The dog food kinda freaks me out I'm thinking they need a bit more then that?

[@drcdrdoct9864]

Bro... don't be throwing away those egg shells. Your chickens want those!

[@KB-2222]

Can't even trust our female Great Pyrenees she got the taste of chicken and can't get her to stop eating them so have to tie her up. Any advice?

[@Flachickenman]

Next time she kills one. Take it and tie it around her neck. Leave it a couple weeks...then bathe! For some reason this works??

[@grandmaatthefarm125]

Don't free range the birds, use a secure portable chicken tractor and put it in a different pasture from the dog. That's the best I can think of.

[@Skashoon]

Hot Poultry net

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I agree with the others. Poultry net, and clip their flight feathers.

[@holmesteadridge]

Feral as Bill Clinton on Epstein's island. Lol!

[@WindyMeadows]

I hate to say it, but this is one thing I don't agree with you on. I have studied canine nutrition, and I am not going to argue with anybody on this.. Raw meat and eggs are NOT good for your dog.. just because they like it, does not mean it is good for them.. After all, a dog would drink a gallon of antifreeze if allowed to, and that will kill them. Meat needs to be cooked and so do eggs. Salmonella alone, is a good reason to cook the eggs, let alone raw egg whites are bad for your dogs. You won't see the bad things right away, but in time, they will start to have health issues. Egg whites contain an enzyme inhibitor known as Avidin. These inhibitors interfere with digestion. The effects are seen, to a greater extent, in elderly dogs, young dogs, and puppies. Avidin interferes with the absorption of Biotin, also known as vitamin H or vitamin B7 For their safety alone cook the eggs. Domestic dogs are not wolves, nor are they foxes, their dietary needs are different. Not to mention, it is not a balanced diet. I feed my LGD\s a homemade diet as well. But it is scientifically balanced. I use a site called Balance it. It has a recipe generator, where you input the foods you want to feed, and it gives you a recipe that allows the meal to be balanced and the right amount of calories. They also sell the vitamin and mineral supplements and tell you in the recipe exactly how much to give .. Lets face it, our LGD's are the most important tool on the farm, and we need to show our appreciation to them with the best food we can offer. Feeding him this way, is not the best you could do. My LGD\s are still pups but older ones, and their diet is 36% protein and and 45 percent fat. You can run the ingredients that you are feeding, and it will tell you where the food is deficient .. that way you can see for yourself, where the food you feed is lacking. My recipe uses moose meat trimmings that I get for free all year long, Quinoa, oatmeal, beans, spinach ( kale come summer) pumpkin, banana, oil, and eggs. I do use kibble, so they have some texture and crunch for their teeth...but it is 1/3 of the ration. I really hate to see people that don't know much about canine nutrition, trying to sell their idea of what is good. I say all this out of love, my friend, and mean no disrespect. But if your like me and want to do the best thing for your dog, than you will cook the meat and eggs. At leas doing that will increase the quality of the food you feed. Most vegetables can be fed raw, but no Onions at all .. there are a few foods you shouldn't feed, but that is a different topic altogether!
