What My Raw Fed Pets Eat In A Day

[@moosetracks511]

primal pack, I’m gonna say it for everyone, we truly appreciate your work! Many people if they didn’t have you, they wouldn’t be on the raw feeding journey and wouldn’t be this informed! I know I’m one of them. Never stop doing what your doing. As a young person I want to be like u when I’m older ☻︎

[@PawsofPrey]

This made my day, seriously. Thank you so much for this you are so so sweet

[@Alteori]

So nice! My dogs are on raw and I've watched so many videos of dogs eating raw but I've never seen one on cats. This is awesome! Oh wait there's a ferret too 🤣🤣

[@PawsofPrey]

Yep! Ferrets and cats are actually obligate carnivores

[@snoopymybuddy3107]

I've watched this video a few hundred times and still found it interesting.

[@echoless3474]

This video was uploaded 3 hours ago If you watched this video 100 times then that would be 715 minutes or 11 hours and 55 minutes

[@snoopymybuddy3107]

Let's say a few times 😅

[@snoopymybuddy3107]

Duh I should have done that math,

[@PawsofPrey]

LOL, well I'm glad it was entertaining!

[@wendyp2922]

Your videos is one of the best source of references out there on raw feeding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion. I’m not sure I’ll be as confident or comfortable to transition my dog to a raw diet if I didn’t come across your channel as part of my research and learning journey. Pls keep going 🙏🤗

I just discovered your channel and I already love the info you put out! I have a Bengal, Norwegian forest cat, and a young ferret. All are completely raw fed. I'll be adding a Shikoku inu to my pack next year, so your videos on puppy nutrition are super helpful and I took a lot of notes.

[@jamilalee6722]

I really like these kind of videos! I bought rabbit backs last week and I found so many organs etc in it! Kidney, heart and lung and it made me so happy hahahah I however do wonder whether I can feed the rabbit ribs because they felt pretty sharp (I have a 7 month old Dutch shepherd)

[@serenityadamsd455]

Rabbit frames/ribs are safe to feed to dogs but you should always keep a close eye when feeding any bones to dogs

[@PawsofPrey]

Awesome! Yes those are great to feed. They may appear sharp but they are very soft, bendable, and breakable. Great for any sized dog, really.

[@jamilalee6722]

The Primal Pack ok thanks!

[@opedromagico]

Incredible 👏🏻 lots of useful information delivered brilliantly

[@ashleyashcraft1754]

It is good to know that my dogs arent the only ones who don't necessarily chew their food ... One of my pugs basically inhales everything - including the RMB. I worry sometimes because she isnt actually chewing on the bone to massage the gums and get the dental benefits of it.

[@serenityadamsd455]

Maybe try holding the bones while she chews on them that way you have control of how she is eating it

[@PawsofPrey]

Haha yes, in general dogs are usually ones to just chomp a few times if that then swallow.

[@jeffreymuscat5516]

Starting our raw food journey today with my Weim puppy.. thanks Primal Pack for the inspiration.. keep up the good work

Yay good luck!

[@iridiumSerpent]

I’m from Australia so I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to find places to source raw food so I can be prepared to start my animals on raw when I finally move out of my parents house. It’s a lot harder than I expected but I’ve found some online businesses. I guess the restrictions in America are a bit more relaxed about what can and can’t be used for pet food lol.

[@TazHall]

They don't have to know it's for your pet 👀

[@iridiumSerpent]

@@TazHall The main things I have problems sourcing are organs and secreting organs specifically. Those aren’t super readily available in my area because most people don’t eat it here.

[@kelseywhitaker6565]

Can you feed while mice to dogs and cats as well? I know you don’t because they didn’t get used to while prey when they were young, but is there any other reason not to?

[@mariacepeda6592]

I'm a little late on the video, I have not been online for a bit, catching up on all your videos! Amazing as always :D I wanted to ask you a quick question, I see you gave Choji some kelp, vitamin E, yeast and trace mineral drops, as well as the mention of blue lipped mussles and oysters. I am part of some holistic groups for ferrets and raw feeding, but I have not been able to get much information on supplements for ferrets, I also have 3 raw fed dogs, so I use those supplements for them, but I have not added them to my ferret's meals. How much of the supplements do you feed, or can you redirect me to a guide where I can see see how much to feed my little guys? I would love to add some supplements, I feel like the traditional ferret raw meals in groups have some nutritional gaps. I do feed a lot of whole prey, but I would like to add some supplements on days where I don't feed whole prey. Thank you so much!

[@PawsofPrey]

Hey! :) So I feed choji a few different meal "types". Some days I feed DIY, some days I feed PMR grinds, some days I feed balanced grinds, some days I feed whole prey. Whole prey is a staple, but I rotate the other 3. For this week, I was giving whole prey and PMR grinds. He may arguably get enough of the missing nutrients in PMR from whole prey, but I truly only added the tiniest bit since it was making up 50% of his daily intake that week. If you feed whole prey, most people in the holistic ferret community would say these additions aren't necessary. Unfortunately we don't have established ferret guidelines so many ferret owners use NRC kitten guidelines for them. I was playing safe than sorry here since he's a growing kit and needs these essential nutrients for growth and development.

[@mariacepeda6592]

[@TrVlogs82]

This so cool thank you for sharing this.

[@katiehitt7270]

May i ask as to why you do the breakfast soup? is it so he mainly has one meal a day but a small meal to tie him over?

[@PawsofPrey]

Partially! But also it's just something I like to do to give a hydration boost as well. I do it for Tangy and Choji on some days as well

[@Grey-wp5xu]

I love seeing these types of videos! Theyre very relaxing. But I would be incredibly careful giving kelp to choji, as ferret nutritional guidelines are not established yet and though they are obligate carnivores like cats, they are still very much different species, and since they are such little animals, it could take very little to overdose them. Because you feed whole prey so often, you really should have no need for extra iodine, or extra b vitamins. Please be careful!

[@PawsofPrey]

Yes, Choji gets kelp once a week (and I'm saying maybe 50 mcg), if that. Because he gets a lot of whole prey, so I can almost guarantee he gets most of the iodine he needs from that, but since he's a kit, and we use kitten guidelines for adults, my thoughts are that he could benefit from a tiny bit now and then. Any extra water-soluble B vitamins are excreted in the urine, but of course too much of anything isn't good. This isn't a daily thing, but since I was feeding single protein grinds of only bone, muscle meat, heart, and liver I was boosting it a bit. I appreciate the concern though, it's always good to put out fair warnings to others!

[@wolffixx4116]

yessssssssssssss ive beeen waiting for a vid like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Thereysa]

I have a question about eggs, I have researched a lot and I was always told that raw eggs are a potential risk due to the salmonella germs, what are your thoughts on that? I am interested in starting my cats on a raw food diet but want to have a well rounded research on both sides before doing so. Thank you!

[@iridiumSerpent]

Most carnivores are asymptomatic to salmonella bacterias so it’s fine to feed raw eggs, as long as they aren’t allergic.

[@aelander]

Hi! Thank you so much for your videos! Question: is the mussels cooked or raw? My pups turn their nose at mussels, wondering how I can incorporate it so they will eat it.

[@PawsofPrey]

Mussels and oysters are always cooked to avoid toxoplasmosis!

[@iridiumSerpent]

You can always try freezing, dehydrating or blending them to give a different texture!

[@miloukarrakruger9871]

Love your content! Going to try to make my own raw food/wet food for my dog, I was just wondering about their dental health? do you do anything specific for their dental health? any bones or just normal brushing? Thank you! love from Brazil

[@siddharthraychaudhuri7250]

Does the cat catch the mice which the ferret eats?

[@julieperez9634]

Ya I tried a raw food diet for 3 weeks and my dogs poops never came back normal, always mucus-y and loose. I figured it might be a food intolerance. But with how much prep and limited freezer space, I decided to hold of on raw food and get some commercial raw food once she hits 1 year old. But I love your videos

[@jaberwasp1925]

I fixed that problem by upping the meaty bones. Might be different for your dog though.

[@Metkayina._]

I started raw feeding with help of a mentoring program. After starting with frankenprey just starting my mentor left me. I don’t know what I’m doing and she isn’t responding to any of my messages. I’m switching back to kibble which is the least I wanted to do. But I’m afraid I’m hurting my ferrets rather then doing any good. That isn’t what I paid for but be careful with who you choose when learning raw. Take care!

Im still a new raw feeder to my dog, is it ok for any kind of chicken egg? Or need the the omega one? I never give my dog the raw egg + the inside skin like you did. I usually went for the premade raw food , we have quite a seller in my country

[@serenityadamsd455]

Any Raw chicken eggs are fine for dogs but don’t give the shells unless they are farm fresh as store bought eggs are normally spayed with chemicals that stick to the shells of the eggs

[@PawsofPrey]

The comment below basically stated what I would say. The membrane isn't necessary to feed, but it still has great benefits and I like to use as much as I can in their meals.

[@katelyn2224]

Another great video! I do have a question though. As a ferret owner, is there other things to add to a PMR meal? Like what other things will my ferret benefit from? So far we added sardines, whole prey and oysters. I'm still doing research and actually reading "feeding ferrets naturally" by Pazuandfriends on KZbin. I was in her ferret Halloween contest and we all basically got a free book. She does get egg at least once a week, but she just licks it a few times and comes back later.

[@PawsofPrey]

The nutrient requirements for ferrets are a pretty big question mark unfortunately. Raw feeders use kitten NRC guidelines for ferrets, so that's really all you can go by and try to meet nutrient requirements with species appropriate foods or supplements. Your best bet is feeding whole prey though as these are what are the closest to natural balance.

ty for making this video! any chance you can make a video for a labrador retriever's ideal raw diet (female english lab, moderate to low energy). Her name is Emma and she is 2.5 years old and my entire world. we just transitioned to raw about a month ago. prior to that she was eating royal canin dry dog food for puppies and eventually the adult dry dog food version. I used an online raw dog food calculator and it told me that for a 65lb. dog I should be feeding them 1-1.25 lbs of food a day. 80% protein, 10% bone, 10% secreting organs. With this in mind I have been using the following diet: 1.25lb/20 oz. total per day: Beef Liver - 2 oz. (10% Secreting Organ) Chicken Thigh Bones - 2 oz. (10% Bone) Beef Heart - 2 oz. (10% Protein) Lean Beef - 2 oz. (10% Protein) Pork Tenderloin - 2 oz. (10% Protein) Chicken Thigh - 4 oz. (10% Protein) Salmon - 2 oz. (10% Protein) *3 a week I add 2 oz. of Pork Brain (Secreting Organ) *The other 4 days a week I add 2 oz. of fresh Salmon or Ahi Tuna Please note that my dog is currently 85 lbs and we are trying to increase our excercise and eating habits. Any tips or advice you give would mean the world to me. Mahalo, -Justin, Fan from Hawaii
