I don't have a dog but feed my two cats a raw diet. Fully raw. Best choice I ever made for them. It's amazing what a fresh, unprocessed, balanced and biologically appropriate diet can do. It's crazy to think we have drifted so far from reality that most think a diet of highly processed starchy floor scrapings counts as peak nutrition for carnivorous animals 😂

[@elenadejesus7489]

Absolutely agree

[@icewebhomestead]

I don’t see the Recipe in the discription.

[@rickylu7200]

I follow Dr Judy Morgan, she is a certified nutritionist, animal activist and teacher how to feed and care for our animals. I came across you and I like getting samples of new ideas, but I must disagree with you about your form of processing the veggies, eggshells, and fruits, if you do not process these ingredients to a smooth, no bits, or soft cooked and crushed, these ingredients do not digest, they go in one end and out the other end. Folks look at your dog's poo, you will see bits of these ingredients, why, because they did not digest, and the dogs and cats don't get the benefits of those ingredients. Your proteins (meats and fish) are okay to leave in bits or chunks, they do indeed digest, but not the veggies and fruits. And be dang careful with bones, grind them up, you do not want to end up at the vet needing surgery due to blockage. If you feed raw, use a meat grinder to combine meats, bones and fruits veggies eggshell, or a strong food processor, like Vitamix or similar of course I am not sure they can process raw bones, but meat grinders can.

[@StevenJamesPorter]

I grow a boat load of broccoli sprouts, freeze them and then process them into the food. It literally creates magnitudes more sulfurafane and it’s dirt cheap

[@elenadejesus7489]

Awsome!

[@NS-xt5wv]

I have a question: why to make the meat ground? Why not just cut in smaller cubes? I’ve heard of cases of dog losing teeth prematurely because they were eating soft foods all the time, they are supposed to use their teeth? Any info on this?

[@elenadejesus7489]

Whole raw is best because it exercises their jaws, and keeps their teeth and gums healthy

[@chloeinezka]

can a puppy 13 weeks old start having raw diet?!

[@thedognutritionist]

I fed my SBT raw (all human grade) and high quality kibble at times. He died of prostate cancer at 9. He was a rescue and had 3 different homes but sometimes when people say its lifestyle that caused cancer hurts just a bit. Some of us do the right thing and they still get sick. ....but I do like your videos 😏

[@AquariusSun87]

I called 2 vets and they're saying the same

[@Eternal_11_Sasha]

As a testimonial, I have been feeding my dogs raw for years. When I got Frank my 27 lb mixed breed dog, he was eating a low quality processed diet. His teeth were in horrible shape and I got him on raw (gradually). Within the first 30 days I saw the plaque receding and his teeth were in amazing shape. He is now 13 years old and is as vibrant as he was when I got him at 3.5 years of age. No one can believe that he is 13 years old! I also got a small 20lb mixed breed female who is now 10 years old. Same story, no one can believe she is 10! Treat them like family, feed them appropriately. They will give you many loving years and limited visits to the vet. I have only had one major situation in all these years. Frank was admitted to the ER shortly after I got him with HGE. The vet staff performed life saving measures and he recovered. I shortly after switched him to a raw diet and integrated probiotics. They told me the HGE could reoccur but thank goodness, it never came back. They have been healthy, vivacious, and keep up with the best of em' even at their ages. Long life to all the pets out there!!!

[@melissastephens2223]

I have been cooking and gentle cooking for my dog for the past two years. He is three. I recently started with our raw food journey. It’s been a little bit over a week I’m very familiar with adding supplements etc. based on his home-cooked diet from before. I recently switched to roll instead of cooking because I have to have surgery on my hand and cutting food is hard. I did purchase raw vibrance from Dr. Harvey’s. I did noticed that most of the ingredients in the dried mix or what I was putting in my dogs food hence minus all the labor. It’s quite expensive and my dog doesn’t really like it lol any tips on how to make this journey a little bit easier for me? And thank you.

Just don't put any carbs in there like greens or legumes. They can eat meat and vegetables and a little fruit. That's it.

[@elenadejesus7489]

​@@nogames8982well, leafy greens when ground are good. Organs, bone and muscle. All veggies should be put through a blender since their digestive system can't dijest fruits and veggies. You will usually see them come out whole, the veggies they just swallow

[@elenadejesus7489]

Well they shouldn't eat like humans. Look at the epidemic of obesity, cancer, arthritis, heart disease, just to name a few. They are getting the same diseases we get. Is it the foods we feed them combined with polluted water, and a sedentary lifestyle?

[@OldWorldNobility]

I've suggested this to people, but they choose not to make the time to learn, or to make it. Then they get upset when their pets get cancer and other diseases, and are willing to spend hundreds, even thousands for vet care that so easily could have been prevented with a quality diet. Yet they claim they don't have the time or money to feed raw. Anyone else see the hypocrisy? They have time and money to go on expensive outings and vacations though, and get upset when the dog they "love" suffers. Not liking truth and facts doesn't invalidate them. If you actually love your dog, prove it. What you prioritize speaks volumes about you.

Hey mate, can I please ask how much you feed your dogs? I mean, quantity v the weight of the dog? I got dogs that weigh 70 Kgs and 55 Kgs (still a pup). I like the video but I couldn’t gauge the amount to feed a dog based on its weight. I know it’s said between 2-4 % body weight. Do you do 2-4% total food quality or just meat ? Cheers

[@ibironkeafricanqueen]

My dog has allergies. According to the vet, she is allergic to poultry. Do you think I can use beef liver instead?

Ofc you can. Organ meat is great for dogs and it doesn't matter which animal it comes from.

[@jhonpineda4864]

Great video! Should one add the vegetables like brocolli and mushrooms with honey for every meal? Or one per day? How often should one do that?

Hello, thank you for all the great educational material. I’ll be starting my dog on a frozen raw food subscription soon and just wondering if serving it defrosted straight out of the fridge won’t be too cold for her. Should I defrost it overnight outside of the fridge so that it is at room temperature for breakfast and will this be safe like that? Grateful for your thoughts on this. Thank you.

[@elenadejesus7489]

I feed whole raw frozen meats bones, organs and ground veggies and some fruits. It's especially good in the summer. I actually give him his raw outside. He doesn't need a bowl since he just takes the food out of the bowl anyway

[@evakayfavia4048]

i notice you don't mention how many lbs of meat you're using or how much liver. i can see its half an apple and half a pepper, 1 egg, but could you put in the recipe amounts as you go? lb, ounces, tablespoons, teaspoon instead of kg, grams, and percentages? or a chart for pounds of dog?

Feed your dog once a day, and make it my recipes. Do no replace the food if he refuses to eat it, just pick it up, cover it and put it down the next day.

[@tammytipton4669]

What type of food processor is that you are using?

[@justneedclips5612]

Curious... Is there a particular reason why chicken liver is used vs. beef liver? Or does it not matter (chicken liver was used because it's cheaper, or beef on beef is too much beef, etc.)?

[@yutorzh7144]

You should actually rotate liver types. Chicken livers are very low in alot of minerals compared to beef liver. But higher in other nutrients compared to beef. However chicken liver is commonly cheaper and has a more mild taste.

I'm out of options and would like to try Raw Food Diet. I'm not sure if she is allergic to chicken. Would the raw chicken leg cause an allergic response?

One of the meats that dogs are most allergic to is Chicken. I found that statement to be true for my dog. I have 115lb Great Pyreneese.

Sometime you can use Ground Turkey instead of Chicken and they don't have a reaction.

You can get a good quality grinder. Research grinders. Don't get the cheap ones they don't grind chicken bones. You can grind the whole leg or the whole chicken including bones. Bones are a nessasary item since you get calcium, fats, and other whole food nutrients. The bone marrow is so important for them too. Organs, green tripe, bones, and muscle.

I've fed raw to my current dog since he was eleven months old. He is eleven months old now and I am not young. I've never had any problems. I fed my last dog raw for the six years I had him. He died at ten years. His prior life before me was awful. He was fought, used as bait, had a horrible life. He was in such bad shape from his first owner. It was a blessing to give him six wonderful years. I miss my boy. Raw food extended his life. I know since saw him how bad he was before he came to me. Thankfully my brother in law and my sis gave him to me. They had him for two weeks before his first rescuer adopted him and left him with my sis. I wound up with him in the end. He was a gentleman and kind creature.
