I don't see the advantage of feeding raw as opposed to cooked meat. I do see unnecessary risk of Salmonella contamination to humans via the dog's mouth, feces, anal area and food bowl. All of these things have been documented to contain live Salmonella which can infect humans. There is also a risk of Campylobacter infection to both the dog and humans. Haven't seen anything about dogs becoming ill from Salmonella, however. This diet is risky, unnecessary and shown to be nutritionally deficient.
For those asking about bones, those saying cooked are mostly right -- it's mostly Baking and BBQ that makes the bones brittle, if you're going to cook your meat and not give it to them raw, then slow-cook it with some veggies or something for their food, 10-or so hours, the bones will be soft enough even you can eat them without a problem. Check out DrGregDVM 's channel, he has a couple of vids on this topic
Vets will say that if you feed your dog raw that it will make them agressive but that is just to scare the owners into buying the clinics grain based diets such as science diet and royal canin which is actually worse for the dog then raw. Dogs are supposed to have a mixture of raw meat, organs and bones to maintain a healthy body weight, teeth and coat. It also helps to make their breath. That is their natural DIET not kibble made from CEREAL! i know this because i worked at an animal hospital.
@xshawtiex Chicken bones are not good for a dog. Ask your vet. Don't take advice from internet posters. Raw meat won't make your dog mean, but raw chicken with bones is dangerous. If you haven't seen a good vet yet, you should.
@SG02JATT Vets spend an average of 8 hours on pet nutrition. Most of the nutrition classes are sponsored by commercial pet food companies like Iams and pedigree. The easiest way to see what your animal should be eating is to look at what they are biologically designed (look at their teeth) to eat. Do you see any flat molars in a dogs mouth for grinding plants and grains? Nope. Dogs are carnivores. They eat meat.
Love it! We're on the same movement and the results are unbelievable. We've had a lot of luck with some ground options, but every weekend I try to include a big chicken quarter or other bone. (mine prefers beef)
Any vet who says a dog will become "viscous" after eating a raw diet should have their license revoked.
Vet is ignorant. I bet he pushes Science Diet which is grain based & after many recalls, vets are still pushing it. My dogs & cats have been eating raw for six years & are very healthy.
Many pets today have dental disease by age 3 & cancer, heart disease, allergies, diabetes & obesity are increasing.
I grind necks, gizzards, liver, egg with shell, veggies (kale, carrots, papaya, parsley, turnip greens) & fish oil capsul. You can buy frozen raw@pet stores or internet. You could use ground turkey, chicken, or beef with organ meat & veggies, but you would have to add vitamin & calcium supp. Some of my cats have been eating this way since 7 wks old. 90% meat to 10 % veggies. Dry food causes tarter, obesity & diabetes in cats. It has addictive substances sprayed on it. No carbs!
@MrTeG3SH Ask you vet why? Sounds very suspicious. Yes, you should change vet. Your vet is simply ignorant about dog psychology and/or is trying to purposely mislead you because your vet is sponsored by a commercial pet food company... Domestic dogs have been around for several 1000`s years, and only the last CENTURY have we given them pre-processed Kibble bullshit... FACT
alot of people say this can cause parasites in the dogs stomach and body, and isnt good for them. could you please tell me the steps of feeding raw? and can i just go to walmart and buy a pack of chiken drumsitck and feed it to my dogs? and how to i switch them to raw?
@milonosk76 Most vets would warn you against feeding raw, especially chicken! I personally haven't had a single problem. On the other hand, everyone sees my dog, notices how healthy she looks and how shiny her hair is. I don't give any supplements; I just make sure she gets some raw salmon every now and then.
I buy either frozen or fresh meet. Drum sticks are a good choice. Switch slowly by introducing one raw meal a day for a week, then two for another week, then raw only.
How precious, they like toi eat on the ground since it is more like the way they eat in the wild. No one had to tell your little one how to do it.
In the summer if you serve it a little frozen will cool her off, it is also good when she teeths. I am strating my guy tomorrow, I have to travel far to get pure non hormonal chicken. Love this video thanks
My German Shepherd Dog, Trudy, only eats raw! I would never feed her the crap that is in kibble! Because she eats raw, she sheds very lightly and is very healthy. Thawed is better over frozen. "Normal dog food" is not healthy at all for dogs. You can feed raw to a puppy from the time they are weaned. Dogs are made to eat raw meat! Dogs are a subspecies of the wolf.
Did you only give her different kind of raw meat or did you alternate with "normal dog food" so to speak? I know this is better, but always best to ask.
@TheEvolvedMind I only alternated with dog food the first week. After that, just raw food twice a day, then once a day, as she wouldn't eat twice. Raw food takes longer to digest than manufactured food.
@rotkob Another question, if you don't mind. The drum stick looks frozen (could be the lighting) but is frozen preferable over thawed? I already know you should never COOK it (due to the bones etc), but frozen vs thawed is another matter. Thanks in advance. :)
@rotkob Okay, thank you for your fast answer. And I hope to see more Flame videos. My puppy was born like 30 hours ago so they're both fun and educational to watch. :)
What did you feed your pup before the raw diet, and how can I tell when it its right to start feeding mine. My puppy Link is 2 months old and I am not sure whether or not to introduce him to a raw diet yet.
She ate can food for few days before I introduced her to raw chicken. You can start your puppy now. Introduce one kind of raw food every week. Stool might get soft in the beginning, but that's OK. The puppy will adjust. Drum sticks are perfect in the beginning because it has a good balance of meat and bones.
Some people give vitamins and stuff, but most people who feed raw don't. Just make sure that the dog eats everything, such as meat, bones, internal organs, etc. Also vary the type of meat you give. This diet is based on how wolves eat in the wild. Wolves don't eat vegetables or grains.
