I always find these conversations so informative. I have fed my retriever on raw since 4 months old and he’s in great health.

What is the Doctors opinion on freeze dried raw? Also, any concerns with feeding raw to 2 -12 month old pups? thank you

[@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions]

Raw is superb for pups!

[@bezelleblanc2580]

I give freeze-dried raw to my pomeranian pup for dinner, and our vet hates it, but our dog has been doing great since we started. She stopped having diarrhea, and we even skipped the puppy uglies entirely. Not to say all poms on this diet will skip the uglies but this has been our experience so far, plus her coat looks great.

[@poetical12]

What about concerns around nutritional balance for growing puppies? I am definitely in an analysis paralysis with my puppy and am only feeding premade made for puppies because I am afraid to DIY for her myself.

[@dorothybutterfield8428]

I don’t use chemicals for cleaning I am very aware they lick the floor if you drop something and they lick their paws

[@savannahtropix615]

ID LOVE SOME RECEPIES! ❤

[@btpuppy2]

The thing is, dogs of my breed look in great body condition on a good kibble. I have been developing balanced homemade recipes for both cooked organic diets and organic raw using whole chickens ground up (doing it for 17 years). I tested them initially over 3 years including during pregnancy and puppyhood and I had other breeders participate in the feeding trials. I did not do raw with the puppies. What I found was that on the cooked homemade diets, they looked great, but no better than on the best kibble. However, they didn’t look as good on raw even though the raw diet was fully balanced. Plus doing raw WELL is really hard. So it was the most time consuming for no benefit in condition. I did not go by AAFCO guidelines, but I used NRC numbers. Just my observation with my breed

[@tgm111a]

Fantastic! 🎉❤🎉

[@elizabethdryjas6635]

Hello wonderful friends, can I give my dogs Celtic salt?. Thank you

[@delmadehoyos1946]

How much salt in how much water? Thank you so much, very interesting video.

[@ericdincauze3984]

A salt solution which contains 26% desolved salt in the water (same as sea salt), put 1 teaspoon of the salt solution in 8 oz of filtered water. Dr Brady discourages the use of tap water for dogs, chlorine is hard on them.

[@delmadehoyos1946]

@@ericdincauze3984 Thank you very much!

For fish, I am using Mackerel, I believe this is better than sardines and it is easy to find :D agree with everything you said, it is common sense. Thank you.

[@debravictoria7452]

Do you use canned mackerel? If so, do you pull out the bones?

[@JourneyofArgos]

No, not canned, frozen. I remove bones from fish because they are not nutritional worthy.@@debravictoria7452

[@jeanfierbaugh4832]

Hi Rachel. My puppy will be turning one in a couple of weeks and I am trying to determine what raw food I should feed her. When it comes to commercial raw products what are the nutritional guidelines to look for (% of protein, fat, carbs and moisture)? I am also looking at freeze-dried, so what should I look for there? Thanks for any information you can give me.

[@zyanya5flores197]

Hello Rachel I have try to feed my feed my dogs raw. They don't like it my French bulldog and my shitzu what recommendations yoi have for a home cook toppers? Because I do feel open farm

[@cappyrackley8824]

I started feeding my border collie different commercial brands of raw ( Viva, Bj's , Darwin's) He likes them and does well to a point. He will vomit bile each morning ( 3:30 in the morning). I work in vet med so i know this is empty gut / hunger vomiting. How can i feed him these raw foods so that he will not have this issue? I have tried giving him a "snack" before bed time but that has not helped. Thank you for any help or information you can share.

[@user-tb4ij7zx1y]

I had the same problem with my Dane after about 2 years on raw. He started to sometimes refuse the food or I had to really coax him to eat. So I started to lightly cook the meat and he has been really good since the change to cooked. He also refuses food that has any additional nutrients added however I have finally found a product line that he will eat mixed in I found it through the pet summits that both of these professionals have participated in. He has only had that empty stomach puke once or twice since cooked and never since providing the supplements in his food.

[@dalsamamea7908]

Is that what it is? Hunger vomiting?

[@lalytrias6184]

My border collie used to have those yellow vomits too, I pet set many dogs and often they have that vomit too. Now I own a 80 lb Belgian Malinois and he also vomits early in the morning.

I fed my dog freezer dried dog food from Primal. he do well and healthy but only notice his creatine level is on the higher side but still within the normal range. and his liver alt is slightly elevated. The vet told me some senior dog has a slight elevated liver alt and stay that way. my dog is 12 years old and 4kg. Also his cholesterol is on the higher side as well by within normal range. Looking to perfect his diet. anyone has any opinion?

Can you freeze eggs then and how long do they throw

Yes you can freeze eggs in ice tray, then place frozen eggs into freezer container.

[@cynthiascott6157]

I have been a Billinghurst Barf disciple for twenty odd years. I breed bull mastiffs, have fit, happy, well muscled and healthy dogs, bitches always have big litters. It's just so right. More recently l had a colleague's male come in to cover my bitch. He arrived on a Sunday afternoon, and went home on Tuesday afternoon. He was at first startled at the contents of his food dish, then he relished it. My colleague told me on Wednesday morning. when she put down his Tuesday night kibbles, he looked at the dish, looked at his owner, and the message was clear,... "what's this sh$t, can l go back to my girlfriends place" The dogs know what they want. For anyone considering this feeding, have no fear, it is the most merciful way to care for our pets. Thank you for awesome information.

[@Kristenh02]

At minute 52:06 what are beef mints? When he says, let them eat bones, such as Chicken Wings he means all three sections they can eat the bone of the chicken wings? They can eat chicken thigh bones? People always say they splinter and could damage them, but that’s not the case? What is the definition of a raw bone? What part of the body is that?

[@stephaniehanson5037]

Mince

[@aparks8707]

Mince meat = finely chopped

[@savannahtropix615]

I THINK ITS COOKED CHICKEN BONES THAT R DANGEROUS 4 OUR PUPS ...

[@baileygagliano9561]

I just got his book…. And then stumbled on this video… good purchase made

[@Dynamofoe]

So RAW chicken thighs with BONES is okay and recommend? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mamabear9389]

The type of chicken bones a dog can eat depends on the size of the dog and their chewing style. Thighs are much denser bones than wings or backs. They are a bit too dense for my two very small dogs especially if the chickens are pasture raised because those kind of chickens walk around a lot and have denser leg bones.

[@Dynamofoe]

@@mamabear9389 thank you! I was thinking more the raw chicken might make mine sick at first try so was wondering more about that, but she’s about 20kg (small lab cross/rescue) so maybe she could handle the bone… I’ll give them a try anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️😊🙏🏽

[@mamabear9389]

@Dynamofoe Most dogs can handle raw meaty bones just fine if they are the right size unless they have some dental issues. Then they may have difficulty. I would just observe your dog. There is a very slight risk of choking, however that is extremely rare and in 14 years of bone feeding I have not seen this. Just make sure you are observing how things go and can step in if necessary.

[@Dynamofoe]

@@mamabear9389 ok awesome thank you! 🙏🏽😊👍🏼 just got some today so we’ll see! (You must be the ‘big momma’ he kept referring to on the video? 😂 I’m in Dublin Ireland so was pleasantly surprised to see him on here!

[@mamabear9389]

@Dynamofoe Yep that's me! I keep trying to learn more about homemade raw even though I have been doing it for 14 years!

[@stacy5093]

So what if your dog gets loose stool when your adding cooked meat n say fresh steamed green beans …. I just gave some fresh ground turkey all of my small breed Shihtzu n Pom devoured it only gave them 1 tsp test … but I ended up low heat cooking it they had kibble n can this Morning my 4 yr old Shihtzu just had loose stool … why do I do …

[@merced4891]

If you add sweet potatoes to his/her diet will tighten up stool. I usually steam whole potato until is soft and give my little guy two slices every day cut into small strips. Whole sweet potatoes refrigerate well and kept fresh with Saran Wrap at the end.

[@debravictoria7452]

Is there a pre packaged raw food diet for cats?

chicken causes this in our AmStaff. Hair loss, grass eating and itch skin, licking her paws etc. Cut out the chicken and she heals.

[@gobradon]

Its way cheaper and better made everyday at home. Really what's twice a day. I mean you feed and cook for yourselves. But I get it people. It's just to much trouble. Boy imagine getting old and your family does that kind of behavior towards you.

[@10RFuentes]

I don't even feed myself that good 😂

[@thoward8918]

If your dog has never had raw and you give them the raw chicken thigh, does it need to be cut up or can he be given the whole thigh to tear up himself?

[@Dynamofoe]

Great Q! This was my thought/question/concern as well!

[@catherineharper475]

Depends on the size of your dog and their chewing style. If your dog does not chew it and tries to swallow, you may have to hold it and let them practice chewing before you give them the whole thing. You can also try something smaller like a chicken foot or a wing. Observe your dog first. And of course never give them cooked bones, just raw.

[@stacy5093]

What do u do naturally for soft poo … pumpkin is one of… he said u will never see digestion issues feeding cooked so maybe the dry this morning n canned caused it idk
