This is a solid video! The material applies almost equally to humans but it's especially true for cats. Veggies are added to pet foods for two reasons, the first that they're vastly cheaper than meat and to appeal to the misconceptions of uninformed buyers.

this is so great. I have doberman, pitbull and beagle. My lovely vet told me that I don't need to add any veggies or carb into there food. I feed raw food that have only meat, edible bone and organ .

[@PawsofPrey]

It's ok! I actually would recommend a more nutritious nut butter if you choose to, like sunflower. You could even make your own by soaking the seeds for a few hours to remove the phytic acid, then pureeing them, and draining them. It's not the same consistency, but it's a natural and tasty vitamin E source!

[@rokoroo]

This is a great explanation of why comercial pet foods make our pets obese.

[@treasuretrovel3816]

The base line cause of dog obesity seems to be de-sexing. Makes their metabolism slow and deficient and that sets the sage for obesity even with calorie restriction. A huge problem that people don't think about is that if you cut your overweight dog's rations in half then he only gets half the nutrition. Do that for months and deficiencies occur. I have had two dogs that I fed species appropriate, keto raw, balanced food and walked them daily (40 to 60 minute, brisk walking with hills) plus daily play with the other resident dog friends and they became overweight. Cutting their portions very diligently did not move the scale more than a few ounces. One of my current dogs is unfixed and he is very slim despite me supplementing his rations with double cream, French Brie, full fat goat milk cheese, pats of grass fed butter and other calorie laden animal products (not grain carbs). Some of the veterinarians at the practice think he is too thin because they are so used to seeing fixed dogs only. There is one veterinarian at our practice who we recently saw who thought my dog looked great. Her specialty is orthopedics so she is the only one there who admits that desexing dogs is harmful-- She nor I are saying there are not benefits depending on the circumstances just acknowledging the fact that it causes harm.

[@CocoonsLastHope]

If your going to talk about a topic anyways, fully research that topic or if you know than make sure it’s covered. There are so many versions of peanut butter nowadays and it’s so easy to make your own as well. Don’t mislead, say that as long as it’s only peanuts or peanuts with salt it’s okay. Because this way people will think all peanut butter is bad and never use it again.

[@hallaloth3112]

She's speaking in a general sense to a general audience. MOST such people will just go out and grab a bottle of Jiff from the groceries store thinking its fine.

[@CocoonsLastHope]

@@hallaloth3112 The problem is read all the comments, many had issues with her statement. Figuring that all peanut butter is bad. You can also do points on the screen, don’t have to talk about all of it.

[@treasuretrovel3816]

And, if "people will think all peanut butter is bad and never use it again" for their dogs that would not be a bad thing. Peanuts are legumes and so, like peas and other beans have fermentable fiber that is not species appropriate for dogs. Feeding non-species appropriate food to a dog results in non-species appropriate flora in the GI tract. Most people have no idea how important is the species appropriate gut flora. The right mix of species, that wolves/dogs have evolved to harbor when they eat prey play a very important role in their long term nutrition. This is because the microbes make labile, short chain fatty acids that nourish the gut lining directly and also play a role in signaling in immune regulation. The right microbes also manufacture several of the B vitamins, some vitamin D and vitamin K. Skew the flora in weird ways with legume fiber and grains and the dog misses out. This is scientific fact. Only you control what your dog gets to eat, Mariah is just trying to make sure that people have the facts before deciding to what to feed their dog. Some peanut butter, some peas, some rice, some dirt, some poop, whatever, just as long as their main diet is what they evolved to eat if you want to do right by your best friend.

[@Ahlnie]

A few comments: first, not all peanut butters contain trans fat (or even sugar sometimes), and beef does has some at about 6% of its fat. And second, I agree that rice isn't a fitting food for dogs, but I'm skeptical about using the glycemic index, as dogs can't make amylase as effectively as people. I have a different idea as to the cause of pet obesity, but that's not relevant. Also, apparently high fiber was a big contributer to the grain free food DCM scare, and not just legumes.

[@asmith971]

The DCM scare was brought on by Hills supplying false information to the FDA

I was wondering from a animal nutritionist point of view, What are your thoughts about a different type of full protein source that is rarely discussed, but from my understanding has big potential... And that's Crickets! I ask because I'm planning to start my own small farm sometime in a year or two and planned to start farming Crickets to not only sustain my packs needs, but also my own dietary needs. Although I know the diet would'nt purely be just crickets but be combned with pasture raised chicken eggs as well as annual caught salmon from river runs. And I know a bunch of kibble brands utilize Crickets already, But i'd like to see more information of criket potential to meet the needs especially for pets that may have allergies to other meats.

[@-OnikO-]

I like this channel generally, this time I still thought it would be a good idea to clarify some details and provide more information on the type of peanut butter this video mentions. *** The video is talking about processed peanut butter with additives. That is not peanut butter, rather a subcategory of it. In some parts of the wold, most brands don’t contain additives, you can also buy organic ones or you can also make it yourself. So when someone says peanut butter, I don’t think of spreads with additives I don’t even buy for myself and I’m sure there are others who are aware of this, so in this sense, the video is misleading. I now in some parts of the world they mostly have the kind which is heavily processed but I am sure they also have natural ones, that is one more reason the video should have clarified they are only going to talk about a specific type of product. I also read something about the FDA’s final determination where manufacturers were required to remove trans fats from their products between 2018-2021, that was just a quick search so others who are interested can find more details. I think the video should have gone into the effects of “actual” peanut butter if they decided to use the general term of “peanut butter”, intead of straight up telling pet owners who might not do their own research that it “has the potential of killing your pet. What is it? Peanut butter.”, quoting from the video.

[@treasuretrovel3816]

Do an experiment: Offer your dog some raw or very lightly cooked, lean ground beef on one plate and on a second plate, smear some all natural peanut butter and see which one your dog prefers. Evolution is so amazing that it even results in the taste buds of a species already having some pre-programing. Same with the olfactory neurons and the visual settings. For example, if canids had evolved to eat fruit then they would have more taste receptors responsive to sugar, their eyes would see in color like that of primates who have evolved to seek fruit and their nose would lead them to apples instead of prey. We can argue for hours about how there are various vitamins or minerals in peanut butter and whether or not it is offensive for anyone to state that peanut butter is not a great food choice for dogs. But all of that is secondary to the overriding fact which is that canid species did not evolve to eat peanut butter.

Appreciate if you could advice whether I can add egg shell to my kitties raw diet as calcium supplement. It is difficult for me to grind bones such as chicken neck etc. if it is okay to add egg shell what is the correct daily dosage ?

[@gwennie520]

Hi Sharon, not recommended because commercial eggshells have been coated with chemicals that aren't great for our pets, unless you own chickens yourself or get the eggs direct from the farm. Also not recommended because (at least for dogs) you need a certain level of Phosphorus as well other than just pure calcium, if not the calcium won't be absorbed properly, and I'm sure it's similar for cats. Suggest to feed smaller bones like quail, but note that poultry feet tend to be lower in calcium, more for glucosamine. If you can't get your hands on bone grinds, try bone meal eg from NOW, or Four Leaf Rover has freeze dried bone powder that retains more nutrients than bone meal. Seaweed calcium is also okay - provides essential minerals other than just Calcium. Animal Essentials has one. Again all my knowledge is based on dogs. But should be similar for cats! Hope I helped.

Why do you have to cook it? :) My dog has a sensitive stomach too, and she does well on raw (i switched straight from kibble without a transition, haha). Btw, it's not recommended to just feed pure ground turkey/beef/pork + veg. Dogs get a lot of their nutrients from organ meats like liver and spleen etc. You should be able to get them for cheap since humans don't consume them usually. It's suggested to give them bones too for mineral requirements like calcium and to clean their teeth. I know you're on a budget but parts like chicken back shouldn't be too expensive, and only feeding what you are now can lead to serious nutrient deficiencies - had a neighbour who was doing the exact same as you, and his poor dog is malnourished despite eating upwards of 1kg a day. Don't cook the bones though, it'll make their teeth fracture. Remember variety is key, you should switch up what you feed them if u can to keep them healthy.

Hi, not Mariah but i think her point is that you shouldn't be relying completely on spinach for iron requirements, not that you should cut out spinach completely. You should still rely on your meats for your protein. But spinach provides fibre and phytonutrients for our dogs, and is also a great low glycemic veg! Yes you should steam/puree/ferment before serving spinach though. Point is - spinach can still be great, just don't expect it to cover your dog's protein requirements. :)

My peanut butter contains peanuts and salt. Nothing else. Not that Mabel gets any too often. Just occasionally.

I give my dog a low carb diet because carbs are killing us and our pets. I don’t tell anyone what my secret is (I’m 55 and perfect weight) because I don’t want to hear it from anyone who isn’t experiencing the benefits for themselves.

[@nogames8982]

I hear you. If you do anything out of the norm with your diet or your pets diet, you are setting yourself up for an attack of some sort I don’t mind if people just don’t understand it because they’re not educated, but it’s the ones that attack and insult that tick me off. there are a lot of sheep in this world that have not yet realized that they have been lied to for decades. On many different topics. But especially when it comes to food for humans and for animals. Some people are waking up but some never will. Don’t waste your time on the ones that never will.

Tripe

[@rustyhowe3907]

I'm stunned people didn't know about the brand named peanut butters then again it's a common thing to push nuts as good for you so I can see where it comes from. My Connie's peanut butter is pricey because I keep it to 100% organic ground up peanuts with no bs added and even then she doesn't even get 1/2 a teaspoon in a fortnight. I'm concerned how much generational knowledge we've lost in regards to feeding our dogs in one generation of people.

[@SunVibesKennel]

Legumes are the worst thing to feed giant breed dogs. It’s why “grain free” food got a bad name-due to dogs getting DCM when eating it. It’s bc Legumes block the absorption of L-Taurine, and that’s already low in a lot of giant breed dogs! Rice is one of the worst offenders for causing skin issues and allergies in dogs as well. I quit feeding grain free kibble and went to raw once I realized I couldn’t find any reasonably priced that didn’t have legumes or rice. So glad I did!!! My dogs are healthier than they’ve ever been. For trace minerals, I feed one kid gummy vitamin a day per dog. Just be careful they’re natural (I do!) and have no funky additives or fake sugars that can hurt them!

[@IzalMaryani]

But you added spinach in one of your recipes.

[@lozngr]

I don't mean to be rude bit a lot of what you said was nonsense. Natural peanut butter(no additives) is ok, so are most vegies except those high in carbs. Potatoes, sweet potato is not good but all greens are ok they eat them in the wild. I agree with the rice but a lot of your references are flawed.

[@malinamorin4296]

Awesome thank you

[@deenagleason1225]

I have so much chicken I have a shih tzu. And they can be allergic to chicken. Dust and probably cats like raised lesions a cough and they're telling me you know chicken my freezer is freaking full of chicken. Maybe I can sell it.😂

[@littlebeebs1]

Oh no ! I put spinach in her food too . I’m so lost ! Anyone here been told they need to feed low protein cuz of heart murmurs? Now I’m seeing her drink too much and pee too much with an all meat diet . So I put spinach n rice in to cut down the protein .

[@victoriasalter1701]

What about special dog peanut butter? Is it okay to give dogs special doggy ice cream as an occasional treat?

[@kristinae.7084]

Not all peanut butters contain trans fats (ie hydrogenated oils). A natural PB like Adam's or many organic brands wouldn't contain those.

[@rodnreelmen]

What if you grind peanuts by themselves?

[@allinaday9882]

Organic Peanut with only peanut fat?

[@JanetLloyd-eg6in]

I buy unsalted roasted peanuts and make my own..

[@lindajonesartist]

I'm sorry, but you didn't even mention the WORST problem with rice. A lot of people think that if you cook and then completely cool the rice overnight, you'll get resistant starches that can both lower the glycemic index of the rice and provide a very specific type of fiber called resistant starches that feed healthy bacteria in the gut. Most homemade dog foods are refrigerated or frozen, and that can lower the glycemic index of rice, and provide resistant starches. But even that doesn't make rice acceptable for dogs. All rice contains arsenic. And yes, I did say arsenic, that toxic substance that can kill in high enough doses. A lot of people think that eating whole grain brown rice is healthier, because it has a lower glycemic index than white rice, but it actually contains MORE arsenic than white rice. Even organic brown rice has arsenic, and some brands of organic brown rice were found to be the highest in arsenic. And arsenic is cumulative. Eating rice day after day, every single day, is how rice becomes so toxic. And with your pet eating the same brands of food every day, or owners only using one recipe that includes rice for feeding their pet, they can get an astronomic amount of arsenic, which can cause cancer, especially a very specific type of cancer that is found in the bladder. My dog died from that kind of cancer. I thought I was giving her the healthiest diet possible, including only organic foods, avoiding legumes and other anti-nutrients, and making sure that the rice I used was whole grain organic brown rice, refrigerating it overnight to provide her with healthy resistant starches and lowering the glycemic index of it. She ate that day after day for years, and died of bladder cancer caused by arsenic poisoning. THAT is the biggest reason why rice should not be fed to pets. And I'm horrified that you didn't even mention it, because that fact has been known for YEARS. And most people can't imagine the sorrow that finding out what you thought was the healthiest diet possible for your pet actually killed them. I sorrow every single day for my dog, Mitzi, who was the most loving and loyal and well-trained dog I've ever had. And it's been four years since her death, and I STILL think of her, every single day. Every day, she motivates me to try to do even better for my current three little dogs. And you didn't mention that peanut butter also contains aflotoxins. Even the no-added-sugar, no added fats, fresh ground nothing but organic peanuts from the health food store.

[@natalielefebvre1628]

Well, I disagreed. Some vet will tell brown rice. It ok

[@incanusolorin2607]

You are insane if you think rice is poison. It's a staple food in many parts of the world

[@sherkasabian3178]

Great video, but not all breeds can eat raw meat. Our little terrier has a sensitive stomach and the vet recommended green beans, squash mixed with hills science solid chicken, or cooked chicken.

[@LisaElaine1222]

It seems like there may be a close relationship between dog and cat food companies and veterinarians. This is quite interesting, especially in today's world. 🙃

[@allinaday9882]

And pumpkin?

[@jeffdunnell6693]

If you’re going to cook for your dog,add thyme,parsley,oregano,rosemary,for great health.

[@dIxIklo85]

Hi! First of all, thank so much for your channel, your information you so carefully gathered and provide for us. My dog is getting raw feed for 2 years now and he loves it and he thrives with it. But now I have a problem: i needed to update my spreadsheet and his recipe. I gathered all data, made a new spreadsheet and a new recipe, I've even managed to get ALL nutrients to the recommend allowance (safe of iodine) within his food with as little to no supplements ... BUT i can't reach his recommended kaloric intake and i don't know what to do?! Everything else is on point, even the percentsge (28kg dog, 2,5% food=700gramms)..and then comes the kicker, too low in calories way too high in fat! The fat content is 4 times higher than recommended while his calories are still 200 short... Can somebody explain this to me? I'm lost

[@MsKelsieJH]

I make my own peanut butter with plain unsalted peanuts, no added anything, and keep it in the fridge (just for an occasional treat.)

[@TheBeana71]

Peanuts are still legumes, so will likely cause the same issues as peas and beans.

[@gwennie520]

As an occasional treat is perfectly fine

[@nospringchicken2211]

I got some with only peanuts and salt. I only use it if i need to distract him or take a pill when nothing else works. I am very careful I do not have treats or food with legumes or pea protein though. Food related DCM may have to my last dog's heart failure.

Dogs are not wolves. Have been domesticated for millenias since homo sapiens began walking upright with their little vegetable packs.

[@dorothy7743]

So, use single ingredient peanut butter, duh.

[@CocoonsLastHope]

Yeah she could’ve been more open about that, this way people will stop giving it completely when it’s not a problem if it’s prepared correctly.

[@haleyperson4415]

Over vaccinating also causes diabetes

[@nogames8982]

I’m just laughing reading all these comments about peanut butter. People it is an ingredient. Your dog does not need. Provides nothing to their diet. It makes you feel good when you give your dog a treat. That’s all. In some rare cases, it can be helpful and getting medicine into your dog but even then please try to find an alternative.

[@dfuss2756]

I must be a dog! Spinich, peas beans bad.

[@Chris-il9mf]

Because of your channel and because our commercial dog food is all crap and full of toxins, (killed one of my shepherds) I switched over to raw for my 2 German Shepherds. 14 and 4 years old. What a change in both of them. My 14 year old had both knees repaired and was not active at all and overweight. Now she chases my 4 year old around the backyard and lost 10 lbs. I thank you for your work. BUT…you state spinach should not be in dogs diet. I just saw your video on “Simple raw food recipes for dogs” and you have spinach in the recipe..so which is it. Yes or No on the spinach?

[@bennyblanco2523]

feed a variety of veggies....? i homecook and whatever veggies I buy for myself for the week will mostly go in my dog's food. The one constant veg that I include in her cooked food is sweet potatoes.

[@Chris-il9mf]

@@Max2k2se I don’t know who you are but who are you to tell me what is important or what reputable sites to go to or not? I do my own research and am not reliant on any one site. Thanks for your random input.

[@dalebailey754]

Mariah has admitted that she has altered her advice as she continues to learn. This video was just published, so it’s her thinking at this moment. I look at how long ago the video was published to determine how new the information is. As for spinach? I’m not sure if my pre-made or base mixes have them, but I do know fruits and vegetables make up an extremely small amount of the raw diet I feed, so I am not too concerned.

[@gwennie520]

Hi, not Mariah but i think her point is that you shouldn't be relying completely on spinach for iron requirements, not that you should cut out spinach completely. You should still rely on your meats for your protein. But spinach provides fibre and phytonutrients for our dogs, and is also a great low glycemic veg! Yes you should steam/puree/ferment before serving spinach though. Point is - spinach can still be great, just don't expect it to cover your dog's protein requirements. :)

[@Chris-il9mf]

@@gwennie520 I don’t rely on spinach by itself.. they get raw red meat, secreting organs, boiled eggs, gizzards, hearts and they love it. Liver is a staple they get also. My dogs have had health issues on commercial food and it’s amazing what happens when you get rid of the garbage food. My 14 yr old is so much better and the last thing I want to do is have her go anemic. It was hard to loose one because of food. I don’t want a repeat. More investigating…..

[@natalielefebvre1628]

Brown rice it ok

[@Anuksix]

I like your videos generally, but In this one, you say that spinach can cause anemia and not to feed it, and in another video with a recipe for dogs you are adding spinach as a great source of fiber... I am confused.. :(

[@PawsofPrey]

Sorry for not being as clear about this. I'm not saying spinach causes anemia when fed - it's still a great fiber source. I'm saying if you rely on spinach ONLY as an iron source, that can lead to anemia

[@LouveBleue48]

Like us about sugars... Very bad nutrition , these sugars...

[@lcatt236]

Not all rice is equal. This vid doesn’t mention this at all.

[@jennm2545]

you really should separate cats and dogs because they are very different. Cats are obligate carnivores and dogs are more omnivores. Check out the latest info about grain-free diets for dogs. My opinion its the excess peas and legumes added to grain free but just my opinion. Essentially dogs need veggies and grain, but cats need pure meat. I learned a lot about this with my elderly kitties at the end of their lives, unfortunately too late to fix the damage. I'm trying to do better for my dogs but dog food companies even the better ones follow the trends. I don't have the time to do homemade right so I give them the best I can find and add fresh veggies.

[@mamabear9389]

My dogs are carnivores and I am too.

[@susanshaw6417]

[@incanusolorin2607]

You are not a carnivore. You're an omnivore ape
