Dog Supplements for a Raw Diet

[@JenniferSmilesNow]

I just found your channel and so happy I did. Thank you for all your useful information. We use kibble (Zignature + another brand that we change out) but rehydrate and add ground flax seeds, beet root, diatomaceous earth, turmeric (for the one prone to allergies), eggshells when available, pumpkin (and pineapple juice if eating poop is happening), and fish oil.

This is super cool! I am feeding my dogs a cooked but homemade dog food. And I am really considering doing the raw diet I think it’s the most natural and healthy for dogs! Thank you for all of you information in your channel!

[@catherinecrabtree]

Really love your informative videos, thank you!!!!!

My little puppy is on raw off diet and she loves it

[@beanythompson1460]

How do you feel about people saying dogs are carnivores? My dogs food contains chicken (they are allergy tested) Egg organ meat and veggies as well as some supplements and I joined a GSD group on Facebook and people came after me when I commented on a post about feeding dogs they basically just said dogs should only eat meat and I'm like.......ummmmmmmm no

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Yeah totally agree with the ummm no. Dogs are not carnivores. They have been eating a variety of food next to humans for the last 10k years. They are a different species than wolves. The main portion of the food should be meat, but they need other food as well to be healthy. 😊🐶

[@kaehume4742]

They're falcutative carnivores! So yes a predominantly meat-based diet is what they require, however they also scavenge and eat things like berries and roots, and then of course as Meghan mentioned they eat the contents of their prey's stomach so that includes grasses, seeds etc. It's not harmful to feed them veggie matter like it is to cats and ferrets. People hear carnivore and think of only obligate carnivores but that's not all that's out there!

💯🙌

Omg I’ve been actually wondering about raw milk for dogs for a long time 😂 I was literally waiting like surely she’ll mention it. Do you think raw cow milk is good or to just stick with raw goat milk? I have both love your video and Clark is beautiful

[@beanythompson1460]

Stick to goat milk cow milk with give your dog the runs 💩

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

I would not use cows milk, it's so much harder for the body to digest and takes a long time! Raw goats milk is easy to digest. 😊

[@NicoleTMiller]

Okay, thank you

[@margsimpson]

Yeah cowsmilk isn't a good idea, many dogs don't have the digestive enzymes to digest the lactose and proteins in cows milk. Some can't handle goats milk either, but it is much easier for a dog to handle goats milk than cows. just watch out for problems and start slowly monitoring your dog's reaction. The thing with goats milk is its high in saturated fat, too much saturated fat can cause pancreatitis. Be mindful of what other fats are in your dog's diet if you are adding goats milk. The calories are high so you need to take that into consideration.

hey could u explain the benefits of garlic and how much dogs can consume? as I think it will clear alot of misconceptions and confusions!love ur vids!!

[@xBloodxFangx]

None. Garlic and onions are HIGHLY toxic. Dont ever give it to them.

[@adeliinasallila9857]

Garlic contains thiosulfate that dogs, unlike us, can't metabolize properly. Thiosulfate causes oxidative damage to RBCs that might even lead to hemolytic anemia. And even if some studies suggest that the amount would have to be greater than 15g/kg, there's still not enough conclusive evidence of the benefits compared to the risks. And some dogs might be more sensitive than others. You should at least mention this aspect for someone to not to go too crazy with the dosing🙊.

[@AustinDerek]

Do you still have Hank!? Can we get a size update? :)

[@courtneyn8978]

Do you need the piperine in black pepper for absorption of the tumeric?

[@sabrinayou9851]

what's the last one? CVD?

[@gail1776]

I got the 5strands raw food allergy test for my 14 yr old pom and found that she was allergic to virtually EVERYTHING I fed her including chicken, beef, pork, hearts, liver, glucosamine, tumeric condroiten, cocoanut oil, salmon oil, sardines, eggs, yogurt etc. Now I have altered her diet and she rarely scratches. I have to make two separate batches because I have other dogs and cats. I just sent away for a second test for another dog. Fingers crossed.!!

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Wow! That's a hard diet to work with. But I am glad it's working for you! What are you feeding her now?

[@gail1776]

@@HappyTailsAnimals She can have turkey and chicken thigh which is the only part of the chicken she can have but no bones. I use crushed egg shell but she can not have eggs. I add some mixed veggies. I have to make her separate turkey bone broth. If I can ever find beef liver, she can have that but no hearts. I'm not sure what else to add.

[@gail1776]

@@HappyTailsAnimals Oh also I found a fish oil that doesn't contain salmon. Thank you so much for your wonderful channel.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

I'm glad you like my content! Maybe you can try other types of fish. Also meats like lamb, goat, rabbit, etc. Duck eggs, people with chicken egg allergies can usually eat duck eggs. 😊

What is C"V"D? Are you talking about CBD? "Cannabidiol"?

My dogs are raw feed and I wasn't sure if raw milk and garlic is good!!!! Thank you so much... I love you ☺️

Thanks for watching!

garlic is bad there's a lot comments explaining why below

@@jeicypaucar-morocho4938 please don't get your pet care information from comments online. They should have taught you in school what a trusted source is, and it's not random comments from anonymous strangers online. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@jeicypaucar-morocho4938 it is good not bad.. 😕

[@margsimpson]

Just to make it clear raw garlic is the thing to use not garlic powder. Its raw garlic that has the health benifits and medicinal treatment not garlic powder.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Raw garlic is better but you can also use powder. Both are good 😊

Great video

These ppl in the comments going off about the garlic 🤦‍♀️ Why do these ppl still watch ur videos Meghan if they don’t like them. So annoying. Lots of love ❤️ great video as always!

[@felixadriensfavoritecousin]

Garlic is toxic to dogs!

[@alyssagrowden5168]

Ugh 🙄 not given the correct way in the correct quantity. Do ur damn research!

[@felixadriensfavoritecousin]

@@alyssagrowden5168 people watch her videos maybe no knowing she's going to say something they disagree with😃 Have you noticed how rude and close minded Happy Tails is to anyone who has something different to say or disagrees with something? Instead of politely explaining her opinion she insults and tells them they're wrong in a very harsh way

[@alyssagrowden5168]

Then don’t watch her videos simple! I don’t find anything wrong with her at all and I’ve been following her for years! Ppl are so sensitive…

[@felixadriensfavoritecousin]

@@alyssagrowden5168 I get sometimes people can be sensitive but the way she talks to her subscribers is rude

[@leahanimals6143]

Ur pretty

[@EllehcoreDaiko]

Aaaaaand unsubscribed yikes

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Why is that?

[@doulalina]

Dogs need meat. That’s literally all they eat plus a little grass. Why do people impose their human diets on animals that have completely different physiology.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

If your dogs are eating grass that is a sign of a problem with their diet. You seem to have a misunderstanding about their biological needs. Please revaluate how you are feeding.
