I've been feeding my dog a RAW diet since November and the results were immediate! My girl's teeth are sparkling white, she literally has NO bad breath, her weight has never been an issue, she's got even more energy than she had before (and that's saying something for a blue heeler mix).
One of the benefits you didn't mention was proper weight. Fat dogs get skinny and skinny dogs get healthy!
My dogs love getting raw .. i would HIGHLY suggest new raw feeders to give it more than a week though! Sometimes the first few weeks are the hardest, as your dog's system has to adjust to raw .. start of slow ... start with 1 type of raw meat a week (or two) -- start by replacing a few meals a week, then build up. Initially their poop might be ikky, but SOON .. it's EFFICIENT!! it really turns to dust w/in a few days! SOOO much less waste & SMELL!!
No, tape worm isn't a issue. A lot of raw feeders have actually found that after switching their dogs to raw, worms become none existent. The reason is, dogs on raw have better immune system and critters like worms and fleas don't make their homes in naturally healthy bodies. It is because a naturally healthy body would attack and eliminate them.
@sugarspellitout13 it's unusual for a dog to eat a raw bone whole .. but if they do .. smash or grind the bone .. OR .. freeze it. Some of my big dogs chomp chicken quarters down so fast , I've found if the meat is still slightly frozen, they have to work longer on it .. and gnaw it more than inhaling it. If you don't have a food grinder (I don't) I'd suggest pulverizing bones (chicken bones are soft) with a hammer .. then give it to them 'pre chewed'
This is a GREAT video!! We feed our 3 cats and our Aussie a 'pre-made' raw frozen diet (from Nature's Variety) along with some RMB's (raw meaty bones, for those who don't know) and they just LOVE it. I have a video on here showing how crazy the kitties get over their food. A raw diet (done right) is so much more beneficial to dogs & cats than anything you could ever find in a dry kibbled pet food. I feel so bad for all the pets out there eating crap like Beneful.. UGH! =(
LOVE it! I agree wholeheartedly with this whole idea. I've got my little furry family on raw, unfortunately I haven't taken the final step and withdrawn all kibble, I have some on offer between meals if they want it.. But we're getting there. Thanks for this GREAT video.
More people care about their dogs than themselves! The raw food movement for dogs is getting pretty big. And animal feed has to be labeled if heated because heated food contains way more toxins created through heating. Interesting eh?
Great video!

Really like the video. We've just started to introduce our dog to raw food - I have a question: Is tapeworm an issue at all???

I would like to feed my dogs a raw diet...but they would eat the bones whole, and then get sick. Any advice?

Nature's variety has the bones already ground up in the meat. turkey necks are great too.

No, they wouldn't! Raw bones are completely fine for dogs!

My Pomeranian won't touch Raw, she only eats one kind of food and it's sadly some Purina crap. My other dog, enjoys her raw VERY Much.
Thanks for the video comment, glad you liked!
