GROCERY HAUL FOR RAW DOG FOOD // What we eat in a month!

[@imark402]

BTW Andy is an excellent Doggie Dad and husband role model for my husband. I really appreciate how much he loves all 3 of his girls and shows men what a great supportive, thoughtful, outgoing and caring man can be for his family.

[@herkythecavalier]

That means so much! They are our entire world!

this is so helpful because im getting a pup on saturday. your channel helped me learn so many things so thank you!

I love watching Herky and Milton. I lost my Cavalier, Freddy, last December, one of the loves of my life. Thank you so much, Bettyy

[@herkythecavalier]

I am so sorry for your loss. They enrich our lives so much I cannot imagine whAt I would do without them

[@rns_1406]

I personally look forward to a day when feeding raw to dogs, cats, and ferrets is no longer a stigma. It is what is most natural. Nutrition plays such a role in health of an animal.

[@herkythecavalier]

Agreed! We feel judged by a lot, especially vets which is a shame

[@davecraig100]

Your thought bubbles crack me up 😂 Just had to tell you that and also I learn something new from each video.

[@herkythecavalier]

i’m telling you... it’s really what they think 💭

[@notyaniecetv]

Binge watching because I’m preparing for my future pup! I looked up the best breeds for cuddles and the cav was number 3 on the list by looking at all these videos all of them prove that list to be accurate even though both of them have 2 different personalities

[@itskatarianna]

We love raw food so much too. Mochi's fav is venison & wild fish and turkey & chia coconut. I add toppers almost every meal and supplements. Ooo we also have Festive Feast made out of pork, turkey, and duck. We personally use local brand, KIN.

[@herkythecavalier]

Oh awesome! Is this something you prepare or it comes that way already?

They are very motivated when food is involved. My Madison is 11 and a half and one of her 2 meals each day, I cook. The other meal is of the wet variety. Madison is not a fan of kibble. She is super healthy but only has mild arthritis. I use fera joint supplement and dev cor by vitri science. She still acts like a puppy. I think raw is a good way to go too!

[@herkythecavalier]

Thank you for sharing! 🙌🏻

[@althea9924]

I have four very large dogs, they get chicken leg quarters quite often. Along with a ton of other stuff. I buy the leg quarters from a stores not meant for dogs. I get the no added stuff. 😂 you think that doing this is okay? I hate to have to cut out there biggest part of their meal. It’s so expensive to buy anywhere else, I can get 40lbs for 20$ bc it’s whole sale. (Frozen also)

[@DianaFerrets]

Hi ! Do you have any recommendations on USA raw foods? I don’t know what brand to trust here in the USA I like what you’re ordering for your pups but I’m so sad they don’t deliver to the US. please help we would appreciate it !

[@DianaFerrets]

Also I am looking at prices online for one cavalier and it’s $130+ for six weeks of food on Darwin’s raw food. Does anyone else recommend anything else or is it expensive in the US. honestly I trust Canada compared to US standards for foods.

Are Milton and Herky both cavalier king charles? Since it is not the same size and behavior? (with what I have seen in other videos). Because I think to adopted this breed of dog and I have difficulty differentiating between Cavalier King Charles, King Charles and Spaniels. I would like to make the most appropriate choice so that the characteristics of the dog match the lifestyle of me and my boyfriend so that he can be as happy as possible!

I was wondering can you switch between different brands for raw? My puppy is currently in the instinct signature raw (either beef or lamb) but after watching your videos would love to add some of the different proteins from big country raw, just not sure if it's okay to rotate between brands. We just are just trying to get my puppy as many different proteins as possible so she doesn't get any allergies

[@ms.pawsomebaker6821]

I love the idea of putting the raw in molds! And in your opinion what do you think of ollie dog food? It is fresh and it comes to your door and I've been using it for about 7 months now and my dog willow loves it. But I just wanted to know what you thought about it. Thank you! P.S. Your dogs are so well behaved! And they're so sweet to each other! 💗

[@melanierose9015]

My puppy loves the Ollie food. I saw a review from a raw feeder trying out Ollie and she switched raw to Ollie cold turkey with no issues. It’s fresh and gently cooked and after seeing that review I feel good about it!

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

I have been using Big Country Raw for my dogs for about 18 months. I believe they do recommend adding Omega 3s to their food to make it balanced. Personally, I do not use any of their fish formulas or omegas because as far as I know the fish is all from aquaculture sources. Hopefully cleaner aquaculture than what exists in the maritimes where I live (east coast Canada). It is a very dirty industry here, and one of the biggest players were taken to court a few years back for using banned chemicals to raise their salmon. Anyways, you're doing better than probably 99% of dog owners re their diet. My neighbours (on their vet's recommendation) feed Purina--YUCK. I would not take a lifetime supply of Purina free of charge.😦

So basically you’re saying that people shouldn’t make their own raw diet for dogs? Even if it’s highly researched? All the meat that is sold in grocery stores is meant for human consumption, meaning it HAS to be clean and pass many tests by the FDA. I have never heard that meat from the grocery store that humans eat is too “dirty” for dogs. Raw is not a “clean” diet. I’m in a raw feeding group on Facebook called Raw Feeding Advice and Support. They promote making your own raw food and have sources and links to back it up. You just claiming that raw meat at the grocery store is too dirty without citing any sources or anything to back up that claim does not make me want to believe you. 🤷‍♀️ This is the second video you have said that, but yet leave no sources of your research in the description. According to Dr. Karen Becker a homemade, species appropriate and balanced raw diet is the BEST THING you can feed your dog. Please look up her video on best and worst things to feed your dog. I don’t think telling people not to make their own raw food if that’s something they want to do is good, especially since you give no sources for your information. I have been searching for a premade raw that will fit my budget for years and so far have come up short. The brand you feed is only offered in Canada, otherwise I would definitely consider it. If I end up feed my dogs raw, chances are I will have to source the meat and prepare everything myself according to my dog’s weight. I probably will not be able to afford a premade diet. If food is safe for human consumption, it’s safe for dogs. Including the raw meat at the store. Unless you can give me a legitimate source that proves otherwise. By the way I do love your videos! ❤️ I just think you should back up a claim like that.

[@jaimezamora427]

She just wants the easy way and order everything that’s prepared I did my research and it’s safe shopping at grocery stores idk what she is talking about and saying don’t go to grocery stores she just didn’t do her research and just took the easy way out and ordered it online
