i would love to make this for my dogs if u could send me a recipe and also i am a vegetarian as well, meat suggestions that dont take much handling would be great. please email me lauralouwho@ymail.com thanks
my dog developed an itching problem! after some research i learned that it was because she is not getting the proper nutrients from her dog food. after FURTHER research, i learned that the raw diet is the best way to go....however, i am a vegetarian and cutting up meat makes my stomach turn. im wondering if you have any suggestions because i dont have a problem buying the meat for her i just dont want to de-bone anything! can i feed her ground turkey right from the package?
@RummyMummy we feed chicken necks and chicken backs, bone included, and it is VERY good for dogs! Along with the nutritional properties of the bone, the motion of eating the bone also is great for keeping their teeth clean. I know a lot of people say NO CHICKEN BONES, and this is 100% true if the chicken bone is COOKED. Raw chicken bones, however, are healthy and safe!
We had to keep changing the type of meat ( otherwise bad diearea again). 3 days chicken, 3 days red meat. I like to throw in some chicken liver, pork heart etc.
He's been raw for 6 months. About 2 months ago he started have a running nose, infected ears and eyes. the nose is still running. No help with the eyes ( doing antibiotics eye drops ) so far.
What do we do?
He's got very sensitive skin as all white bullies do.
theholisticvet com used to be my vet in LA, he does phone consultations for problems. I am NOT a doctor.
I would never use antibiotics for my dog, try silver colloid instead. It works well for my vizsla if he has skin problems or eyes..
As far as diet goes I do 1 day bones(chicken back, necks, turkey necks) 1 day ground meat to have a variety in his diet. It is important to freeze the meat 3-4 days before you give it to them. This way any bacterium would die in the raw meat..hope that helps.
Raw food helped my dog with bad breath, they tipically have the bad breath due to the dry food, all the perservatives, i would say give it some time, but my dog lost the smell after raw..
We've started feeding out WHITE miniauture bullterier raw food. On normal dog food he had nasty rush on his mouth and nose, lots of diareas and bloatings. after we gave him raw chicken with veggies, olive oil, raw egg he would get little better with the rush and the diarea would stop for a while. we give him 1 pound of meat a day.
I give my dog 1lb meat , he is about 40lbs. 1 and a half would be my guess? I don't spend too much on dog food, I do 1 day bones, next day ground meat. I would say about 12 pounds(i am the UK) If you live in the sates, Gelsons, whole foods market sells ground meat for dogs(they used to)..for bones you can do raw chicken, turkey necks, chicken back is great, too! The other day I do the ground meat with veggies, raw egg..etc. this way his stool is not too hard or soft..
i feed my dog a food that 80% meat, and the rest seasonal vedges, a tiny bit of cod liver oil, garlic, eggs, and added bone chip and blood. also give her chicken necks, raw bones and green tripe which she gobbles up! its commen sense to feed our dogs what they use to eat/what they would eat in the wild as thats what theyre stomaches are designed for. anything else messes with the stomaches ph level, its annoying that pet food companys have convinced us otherwise! k9 natural food is good!
Manthy, I do agree with you, excellent choices for your pet! I do the same! However common sense is NOT that common these days! People are mislead by "vets" and the media...
Thank you for this very informative piece! I have been feeding my dogs (I have 6 rescues) raw food for a few weeks now and they love it! Your Vizslas are so cute! I love their little sweet faces. Are you in the US or abroad? I am going to buy some Halshan, do you think that is a good brand?
Yeah, Halshan is pretty good brand, yes. I bought them a few times during my stay in the US. Then I realized that making my own is more cost effective. If you have Whole Foods Market of Gelsons Market close by , they sell you the frozen ground meat they didn't sell as dog-food.
6 dogs...wow Mate, you must be busy! I admire you!
so..does anybody know which kind of veggies are ok and which ones aren't? and should you cook them or not? like i said before, some people say they can't digest them raw...and do you guys buy them all their meat organic? that seems pretty expensive to me in the long run...and how much do you feed? my golden retriever is about 75 pounds. oh and, how do i switch to raw food? just like that over night? or do i incorporate it slowly into his current food?
Hello! Great questions, The portion of the food should be 80%meat/20%veggies. I never cook the vegetables, always feed it raw. I have a food processor so I chop the veggies fine with that, Also I like to put 1 raw egg(specially the yolk! in his food if he eats and some fish oil for healthy heart. If you have been feeding your retriever dry food and want to switch do it slowly. First let's say you prepare something for yourself with groud meat, just give him a taste and increase the amount next..
....day. If you live in the US there are companies who make raw dog food like halshan com or bravorawdiet com. I started to use these first and then switch to home made because it was more affordable. Feeding a dog raw is not cheap but you will save $ on later doctor visits for your pet. Whole Foods market sells ground meat for dogs specially it is in their frozen section or gelsons market does it , too. No ot doesn't have to be organic but not hormone raised meat!
#3 your dog also needs to eat bones, the reason vet say that bones are a NO for your dog b/c cooked bones are harder to digest for your dog but raw is different. I feed my vizsla chicken, turkey necks, chicken backs RAW! His stool is beautiful from it. 1 day ground meat with veggies and fruit/ 1 day bones like necks, backs..etc I will try to find an article for you that explains the best on what to do and portions..etc. Give me some time.. All the best
i'm new to raw food as well. i researched a lot about it and i have to say it is really very frustrating, because everybody has a different opinion. some say they don't need any fruit & veggies, some say they cant digest raw veggies, some say they can't have any garlic, some say it's good for them, some say they can choke on raw bones , some say they don't...and so on...aahhh it is so frustrating!! i just want the very best for my dog! so..i dont know what to do
I heard that the dogs shouldn't eat grains, fruits, or veggies?! Why do you think people said this? I'm new to the raw food diet and im doin research! Help :))
what you "heard" was not correct or at least some of it. Grains I do not feed my dog but fruit and vegetables YES! Why do I think people said this? Well let me ask you this? Why do vets recommend dry lifeless color and preservative filled food for your dog? It is simply b/c it is in their financial interest to have your pet sick and visit them for medication! You can just simply google raw pet food and you will find many useful articles on the subject! I congratulate you!
Hey! I put the veggies in the food processor... and just add the extra good stuff in it. There is many raw food companies that sell prepackaged raw food like halshan, bravo, nature's variety but most of them are not organic so I question their quality. My dog loves to eat the veggies chopped but also cut into small pieces so he can have fun chewing. Whole Foods MArket sells ground meat for dogs, the meat they can't sell for humans freeze and sell it as pet food. They also sell chicken necks...
The BARF Diets (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food Diet) consists of:
80% Meat (including heart)
10% Bones
10% Offal (Liver, etc.)
NO FRUITS NO VEGETABLES
NO SUPPLEMENTS
All is feed whole and NOT ground.

@traveleverymonth Thanks. Freezing the meat made a big difference.
what do you do about the BAD breath? At least my dog has it ( smells of rotting raw - obviously - meat).
