I tried the barf diet with my jack russel/yorkie mix. Because I noticed she had less energy and seemed to strain when she would poop. and so far she is like a puppy again! Thank you for showing me how to make it!

Yes the BARF diet works for cats too

[@valentinamontanari3495]

I have a cat with an immune system problem, but he is completely healty from when we started give it his actual diet, not a row but still an high quality food brand. Yes i spend more money in his food, but very less in vet bills (not a single problem due of his condition after we found the right diet)This was done with the help of his amezing vet :) no supplements needed

@Apostolic Cruiser ; there are complete raw foods for dogs. I give my dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier weighing 23 kilos, half a kilo of raw dogfood a day, in 2 meals of 250 grams. I live in the Netherlands and I buy the brands Carnibest ( which is expensive) and Mulders. ( Cheap) ( You can see the difference in meat between the two brands.) I started with giving these raw food because my dog started to scratch himself a lot when he was young , he had red spots in his arm pits and groins, the vet told me he was allergic to food because of the spots being in mirror image of each other. If he was allergic to something he came in contact with it would not be so. He gave me the advice to start with hypo-allergic kibble. But I didn't listen to him and started with raw food which was CHEAPER than that special anti-allergic kibble!!! Six years after and he still has no allergic reactions. (Only when I give him a piece of my sandwich, which I sometimes forget to not to do).

[@jesuisunepommedeterre4662]

Yes! I transitioned my pack of three German Shepherds to raw. Wow! I noticed the difference in two weeks; smaller stools, shining coat and teeth, and tons more energy. My oldest Shepherd was a sport dog and developed a bone spurt in his spine. He was gaining weight due to less mobility. Raw leaned him again and give him the energy to join my younger dogs on long walks again. He’s back to his old antics. Feeding raw is how I payback my dog’s loyalty and hard work for me.

[@downwired]

I'm a professional chef and I feed my Alaskan husky salmon, duck trimmings, chopped beef or venison cord, boar bones, and vegetables mixed with some good quality kibbles. He's highly allergic to chicken so his lamb kibbles provide just enough crunch to keep him interested! Now my parrots and lizards are a whole different story! Feels like I'm cooking around the clock of life.... Your animals are stunning and you look like a wonderful person :) Cheers from Canada!

I've been feeding my Labradors a raw diet for years now and they go nuts over carrots, whole ones. They also like liver, heart, tripe and kidney, oh and yes they also enjoy eggs whole! When I am making dinner they come to get whatever veg I am preparing, it's almost like an illicit treat. However I was truly amazed when they came round me to beg for a piece of tangerine that I was eating, and they enjoyed it! So, now any fruit or veg (except onion) is fair game for them. Healthy, happy and shiney.

[@nathanielscheurer1821]

Great video! I would add that not all dogs are gonna need to do a full BARF diet. For instance I have started to supplement my dogs regular food with a chicken neck every day and that alone has really improved her poo quality, breath and teeth. You could also do something like half kibble half BARF.

Thank you Anneka, that was very informative. I'm just starting BARF with my 4 Labradors and much of the advice out there is confusing. Too many percentages. On one site I had people going off about how my dinners were unbalanced, but wouldn't elaborate further. They just kept throwing percentages at me and sending me to the page's guidelines. Your video was very straightforward and very informative. So, thanks again, I will definitely be following you from now on... Keep up the great work.

[@alxdava2004]

Don't worry, just give them meat. They will be great. Leave the vegis aside

[@twobrokewolves5884]

You need more than just meat. You need around 80% muscle meat, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organ, and 10% bone. It's not too complicated but they can end uo with a deficiency if they don't get a "balanced" diet.

[@theroxygirl731]

I always give my pup some of the lightly steamed veggies I'm cooking for myself for dinner. She loves asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, sweet potato, spinach and tomato. Giving her real food is why I believe my pup has never had an ear infection, no allergies or skin issues. Everyone raves about how shiny and thick her coat is. I decided early on I wanted her to live as long as possible. I spend so much time every day caring for her, why wouldn't I feed her with the same care and love I give the rest of my family.

I never feed my dog veggies, he doesn't like them, but I do give him like a tablespoon amount of a banana every now and then.

It depends on your level of activity as well. I started biking with my Rottweiler, so weight is important to prevent hip damage. Try a very strict diet for 2 weeks. No random food scraps or extra treats. Stick to the daily rations. Weigh before and after, then adjust for the next 2 weeks. My dog is now at a stable weight class, and she is a lot more energetic compared to the sack of potato she once was. 😁

[@mikefrost1312]

One thing you have to remember, any fruit/veg NEEDS to be prepped a specific way for a dog to get any use out of it at all.. if you give straight raw veggies or fruit, it'll just act like a filler & pass right through the dog.. should at least steam them or, what I like to do is partially boil them along with a little apple cider vinegar. That way it REALLY mimics pre/partially digested material and the dog actually gets the nutrients... OR, You could completely skip all fruits and veggies and simply feed tripe ! I only make my mixture if I can't get real tripe

Samantha Bailey I would love to know how much to feed my husky. I want to try this but I'm nervous I won't get the right ratio so that it balanced

[@zander3696]

a good trick for that is using chicken leg quarters since they are naturally balanced for most dogs just make sure you're getting the cheapest stuff you can since then it comes from the biggest factory farm around and the last thing they want is salmonella going through there so they inoculate them in the egg so there's pretty much a 0% chance of your dog getting salmonella however make sure it's full leg quarters do not use legs and thighs they are different

[@tailsntrails]

I feed my husky raw and it’s been the best choice for her. She gets a pound a day and it’s usually a raw egg with a chicken quarter. Other times I Mix it up with a variety of lamb turkey or duck with chicken livers and sardines. She loves it. Also Stella and cheweys is a great brand sold in pet store that makes burger patties with the exact right balance of nutrition. I give a burger for 2 or three meals per week.

Love this video! I'm trying to do this with my laika a bit more because she has a LONG history of belly problems. It's getting better so we started with bones and raw meat and sometimes it went wrong, but 95% of the time it's fine and she LOVES it. That's what I like so much about this, the dog can take its time to eat and really enjoy and focus. I'll move soon and I will buy a huge freezer for her meat! Gonna be great. Btw uploaded a video of her (13 year old Siberian Laika mix) of her eating a fish caught a minute before she started eating it!! so awesome. Love her happiness 💕💖 Much love, Sanne&Brody

I am frowned upon for feeding my dogs meat and chicken bones.....yet...Rottie 14 years....no health problems......Shepherd 14 years....no health problems....all my other dogs lasted into their mid teens......all rescued....now my dogo eats the same diet and she has overcome other illnesses quick......also had 2 dogs with leishmaniasis.....both lived until they were old.....packet dog food is shit....same as us eating msg......I'm really liking your videos

[@jussanesanchez9652]

frowned upon, i would say thats a little dramatic, its okay your dogs will live longer than any of theres and though thats awful they will see that its the best thing you could do for them.

[@phatt180]

100% believe in this diet. I’ve been feeding my cocker spaniel a raw meat diet with “some” processed meat for his entire life.. he’s now 14 and still kicking hard.

[@Tatziana_]

Loved this video Anneka. My dogs love raw food and I can vouch on everything you said as my dogs are so healthy and I have never taken them to the vet for 3 years now. I have fed them raw food since they were pups so they are pretty much use to chewing the food without me having to blend the vegetables. They even chew the egg shells without me crushing it. They love green leaves too, have you tried "Kankun" ? it's a very healthy leaf, my dogs just love chewing them at anytime I make it for ourselves. Duke my Husky mix loves natural food he eats kibbles only as a last resort lol. My american Lab had never eaten raw food until I adopted her, she just copies my husky mix Duke in everything he does and now she is a very healthy and happy dog :) try murunga leaves too, it's a super food both good for humans and dogs.

[@Animal-Watch]

thats great to hear :)

[@lisaa6099]

Interesting, great. Dogs are beautiful and amazing and my favourite creatures on the planet. Thanks for a wonderful presentation.

[@Animal-Watch]

thankyou

[@gabrielavicalvi5068]

This is great! I've been feeding my dog with raw meat and he absolutely loves it! It looks that they know what is good for them hahaha. Thank you for the tips :)

[@thatguy-qz3uu]

Hi what kind of raw meat u like

[@Bigusbackus]

My dog ate rat poison once so id disagree. Did it at 11 at night so all vets were closed, found a 24hr one but was to far of a drive so the vet over the phone instructed us how to fix it. Was a rough night.

[@Bigusbackus]

She wouldnt eat lettuce but ate rat poison so i dont think they k kw whats what tbh. My mum in summer every monday makes a huge salad and that'd go with dinner for 2-3 nights and if there was any left we gave it to the dog, she'd pick through all the shredded lettuce for the pieces of carrot, tomato etc.

[@JustASmokingSnorlax]

Great video thanks for sharing this info!! Been feeding my dogs and cats raw for 6+ years now! Will never go back. Luckily here in Ireland I find amazing BARF brand that are locally sourceed and include bone, feather, skin, fur, organ meat... All totally balanced all I have to do is supplement with salmon oil, occasionally an egg, berries and brocolli, and glucosamine for my older dog. I'll also give them turkey necks or chicken on the bone about once a week to keep teeth clean! I always get compliments on their coats, they don't smell or have bad breath, and their poops are tiny! The cat litter box never smells either. It was life changing to me.

[@biancabee7731]

OMG THANK YOU so much... & a question - why do some brands put garlic in their raw food - I thought garlic was an absolute No?

[@hasbullahtheg.o.a.t9415]

It is Google it but think it's like chocolate big dog has a smallest bit chocolate won't really affect it same as garlic but small dog has a huge bit of chocolate same as garlic then there is a massive problem obviously same as big dogs

[@biancabee7731]

I thought chocolate was an absolute No. Cocoa is really bad for dogs. I personally wouldn't risk it no matter their size.

[@yavineachtajellybean4664]

Chocolate isn't as bad for dogs as it's made out to be

[@amreens9987]

Excellent video sorry this video has 400+ dislikes from the commercial pet food and vets!!! Keep up the good work lady.

[@monicadelafuente8277]

I love how she says vitamins lol.

[@jeddy_bravo]

That's because she's British 😂😂Americans say it really weirdly

[@Kallielcastelao]

I've been In raw for good 6 years, my 15 yo loves it she became so much happier with real food than with the kibbles. And so much healthier also, it's amazing when I take her to routine exames and hearing complements about her teeth and her willing to play. I mean she cannot see well or hear well but it's impressive to see what she can do, she can play like a puppy. Real raw food is just the best.

[@whoknows6310]

I really want a wolfdog!! Thx for the feeding tutorial!

[@zeta5684]

Thank you for the information. :) I want to make sure my future german shepherd eats healthy but it is hard sometimes because a lot of people give bad information and false advertising. This video makes more sense than the flashy kibble marketing for sure.

[@livefreeallways]

I've been feeding my dog a home cooked meal most of his life. I do give him some raw foods here and there but not 100%. The dilemma is he has a partial perineal hernia and it's important for him to not strain when going to the bathroom. I make a stew with chicken, and a lot of veg. I would like to feed him his natural diet in the raw form but concerned. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

[@jjbowman4653]

WEUNITE omg that sounds horrible (for the longest time my doctor was concerned I had a hiatal hernia just over my stomach and I did a bunch of research) what your doing (stewing it for softness) is amazing!

[@kamillatoth3433]

Eliminating fiber and increasing fat is a good solution for constipation in dogs.

[@livefreeallways]

@@kamillatoth3433 Thank-you

[@110Griff]

just started feeding my two german sheps natures menu food, the ready mixed with veg type and raw chicken wings, they love it, good tip about the eggs , Thanks.

[@staceysegovia6196]

What a sweet 🐺 dog needs well behaved 💕💖

[@lilymaria5126]

Hi, love your video, beautiful dog by the way. Can I pls ask, would I need to worry about small bones hurting my dogs stomach or intestines ? Thank you..

[@rachs7792]

If they are raw, no they won't hurt your dogs stomach, but never feed cooked bones, because they can

[@kubilayalbayrak8419]

cooking or applying any kind of heat to a bone changes bones microscopie structure and makes it very fragile so when it breaks it breaks like glass and have sharp edges. raw bones do not break with really sharp edges so it is safe to eat

[@tailsntrails]

Raw bones are safe

[@pantalaimondaemon409]

What an amazing video! I've learned so much from this. Keep it up!! Love your vids!

[@lupusdeum3894]

I feed my latest GSD Amber a mix of raw, cooked & high quality commercial kibble. I usually get problem free 14 to 16 years from my GSDs. She gets a lot of fish on her diet, chicken liver & gizards, minced meats, turkey. lamb, beef, but this one will NOT eat a carrot- cooked or not! Peas, yes. Any preparation of cooked potatoes, yes. Carrots, NO. Go figure! As always: Love you, Anneka!

[@priayief]

I've been feeding raw to four dogs for more than 13 years. I'm no expert but I've read everything I could find of feeding raw. As for feeding vegetables to dogs, I've based my approach on studies published by biologists observing wolves in the wild. I remember reading one study/opinion from a biologist who observed wolves feeding on a large carcass of a ruminant animal (it could have been moose, elk or deer ... don't remember the species specifically). He observed that the wolves, when eating the stomach content of their prey, carefully shook out the contents of the stomach before eating. His conclusion was that, as far as canids needing "vegetables," if alternate nutrition was available, they would avoid it. If feeding on small ruminants, they were unable to avoid the stomach contents of their prey. None of my dogs has ever been routinely fed fruit or vegetables. Am I completely correct in this approach? I don't know, for sure. But that's the best I can do based on the balance of information available. And my dogs have done well by it.

[@firstcaptainarenoskarlaen7103]

Raw diet for my rotty, labrador and dachshund since the start 2019

[@firstcaptainarenoskarlaen7103]

@kelly heubel No problems but if you feel like your dog is kind of lethargic try a multi vitamin. I just use duck, chicken and beef. I only feed pork when it's been frozen for at least 3 days because I've seen what pig farms look like.

[@sostrongineedmoreofyourmon974]

I’ve got a Rottie and a GSD that started raw about 4 months ago. Kept getting different elevated enzyme returns on annual blood checks on 4 different supposedly healthy kibbles, and my Rottie was getting chunky without any treats added to her daily food intake. Vet tried to discourage raw but we ran blood 2 months in and no bad blood markers, and better yet the Rottie slimmed right back down with way higher energy levels. Going back for another blood check this week and I’m expecting nothing different.
