I Buy WEIRD Raw Food For My Pets

I just got a Tri colored merle English bulldog, she is 4 months old and the previous owners were feeding her benefit. Your videos have been so helpful in me switching her to all raw food diet and wanted to say thank you. Its amazing how much she has changed in just 3 weeks of a change, her coat is smooth and sheds less. you can see muscles building on her legs and according to the vet she is one of the most healthier bulldogs she has ever seen.

[@PawsofPrey]

That's so great, I love that you're seeing improvements :) I'm glad I could help!

[@elenadejesus7489]

Beniful kibble and in tubs, never will I make that mistake again! Awful!

[@Joice_M]

Loved the video!! We go to a sushi resturant near our house to pick up salmon heads as they don't use those, they source fresh whole fish so we take it home, clean it, cut off pieces and freeze them before feeding it to my dog. It's a great way to reduce food waste as they would of thrown it out and what's even better, IT'S FREE!?!?! They don't mind us picking up some salmon heads once every week or so

[@PawsofPrey]

What an awesome dynamic!! Perfect for everyone haha

[@kristinae.7084]

I thought feeding raw fish was a no-no because of potential parasites/bacteria?

[@Joice_M]

@@kristinae.7084 Yes that is a risk, for that we leave it in the freezer under -15C for a week sometimes more, doesnt mean there is no chance for bacteria and parasite, we also make sure she gets dewormed and check for changes everyday.

[@4Grace4Truth]

I used to work at a garden center where we had community cats. One morning when I arrived, I looked down to discover a half-eaten frog. It seems some cat enjoyed frog legs for breakfast!

[@ciwefagomal]

Here in New Zealand there are a few "weird" options available from time to time , most of which are pest species or unusual farmed animals. Some of the weirder ones my dog has tried include: alpaca (farmd for wool), peacock (pest, wild caught), and possum (pest, wild caught). My dog loves everything but possum which has a strange musty smell. Horse meat and venison is pretty common too but I think those are more "normal" options.

[@PawsofPrey]

So interesting! Peacock is a pest? I would have never guessed that lol

[@ciwefagomal]

New Zealand has very unique animal/plant biodiversity, so anything that was introduced when Europeans arrived that isn't farmed is considered a pest. There were a lot of game mammals (deer, hymalayan tahr, chamois, wild pig, goat, sheep, rabbit, hare, wallaby, possum) and some birds (introduced duck, peacock, canada goose etc.) that were introduced and have exploded in numbers because they are no natural predators here. So people hunt them and sell them to raw pet food stores :) It is a bit strange because some of the Australian species (possum and wallaby) are protected in Australia, but are absolute menaces to the NZ flora/fauna, and are allowed to be hunted. Peacock is pretty lean and kinda like turkey I think? I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them visually. I haven't tried it myself so maybe it tastes different lol

[@wendyyang7846]

Omg I’m in NZ too!! Do you mind where you can get your hands on those items? I struggle so much to find them to give my dog more varieties

[@ciwefagomal]

I always envy people from the US being able to find so many different things to feed their fur baby while I’m stuck with kidney, brain and liver for secreting organs only. I’m in Wellington, got raw essentials here but they only sell premixed stuff not really a place to shop for the ingredients:(

[@farrierette5216]

The eyeballs made me wanna barf! Fear factor food!

[@kristinae.7084]

When I give my dog a new raw meat, she's usually a bit skeptical at first. But if I introduce small amounts of it with her other food, she gets used to it and soon gobbles it up.

[@xiaoqi7485]

Tangy's reactions to the meat are so cute and I laugh each time when Matsu takes the chunk out of his plate. One of my cats does exactly the same thing. He has to pull every piece of his chunks out of his plate to finish🤣 My two cats love frog legs and duck tongue. Similar with Matsu, they love anything that is crunchy when chewing on. They would keep growling while eating frog legs to guard their food even though no one would actually grab it from them😅I tried beef ovaries from rfm once with them and they loved it. Their other favorite weird option would be camel. They loved it so much that we eventually used it to make their birthday "cake". Wanna get them to try pig snouts next time🤩

[@PawsofPrey]

Haha animals are so funny with their food. I have yet to get camel but I'd love to see if the boys like it!

[@TJ-bn2cn]

I knew the kitty would love the pork snout 🤣 kitties are notorious for liking the least nutritious food.

[@PawsofPrey]

LOL isn't that the truth

[@DP0606]

My Bernedoodle eats Pork snout, so I guess it's just popular among all animals. Will have to find some tongue. Other stuff we have tried is goat testicles, he ate those. Whole duck head, that was interesting.

[@lylasadventures3930]

My cane corso puppy just got her first whole duck head the other day - she LOVED it! I was lucky enough to find one with the feathers still in tact, and I was sure she wouldn't like it because of that, but I was pleasantly surprised!

[@PawsofPrey]

Yeah those are pretty unique parts!

[@haileyrodriguez1821]

Quick question! Are freeze-dried mussels safe for dogs?? Does it have the same affect as cooking mussels?

[@Pulsardogtraining]

I give my dog super snouts green mussel powder, From what I’ve read and the responses I’ve gotten when I’ve asked professionals is that it’s a good option! I do believe it’s freeze dried before turned into a powder.

[@PawsofPrey]

Freeze dried mussels are fine to feed! I'd rehydrate them though

My ragdoll cat loved them and It keeps things interesting for him…and me too. Love your videos…you have been my guide through the prey model diet. Ty so much!

[@Lauren_K]

Thankfully, living in Japan gives me a wide variety of fish and chicken parts but not beef. I am curious about eyeball haha. There are some organ meats in almost all stores but it's only liver, gizzards, and sometimes the heart. There are a lot of fish I found out Japanese people will give when they feed raw. Natto is also something our dog loves! I am trying to remember if natto can be found in markets in the US.

[@faithcrisis2138]

I'm fortunate to have a raw feed store close to home and they have many individual parts for DIY raw feeders like myself. I was able to get hold of whole duck heads to try and make my pets' meals more complete. My dog LOVES duck heads, my cat, not so much.

Phantom is a huge fan of game meat and will eat just about anything! Except for sardines. For some reason that is the one thing that he is just not keen on at all! He prefers seafood in general so it was a shock the first time I fed it and there was fish left in the bowl.

[@PawsofPrey]

How weird! Raw and canned?

[@roguespell450]

My cats eat frog legs with no issues, but he's a Garfield cat so he will pretty much try anything. But it's definitely nice since I don't have much options for raw meaty bones. So I used frogs legs for one week of meal preparation and chicken wings for the next week. I hope I can get chicken necks in the future, my grocery store stocks them but haven't gotten them in for awhile.

[@PawsofPrey]

You are very welcome I'm so glad it has helped! If the stool is too loose, it may be too much organ, not enough bone, a food intolerance, and a multitude of other things. If you just need the stool to bulk up a bit, psyllium husk is also helpful. Start at 1/4 tsp.

When my doggy gets loose stools or diarrhea, the first thing I give is Boiron Arsenicum 30C (you can buy this at Sprouts or online). Works like a charm!

The weirdest cut of meat that my dog has eaten has got to be pork uterus! I was actually very surprised when he ate it because of how slimy and awful smelling it is, but he seemed to enjoy it! Meanwhile, his older brother and younger sister didn't like it so I dehydrated it into treats and they finally ate it. It probably won't be a cut that I'll feed again because of how expensive it is to source in my area and the smell of it (not to mention 2 out of 3 dogs didn't care for it much), but it was a nice little treat for this occasion :)
