@Narutosims123 X3 Thanks. Currently my dog gets a diet based mostly around chicken (whether cut up from whole or bought in parts) supplemented with beef and pork. She's had rabbit, turkey, and deer before, too. XD Pretty much anything that qualifies as meat for us (and even things like frozen rats for snake food) make a good meal for a dog~ Good to hear about your ferrets! They're some of the toughest to switch to a raw diet, so good luck!
@CalicoFeathers I want to get babies because of the whole imprinting on food thing but if that is not possible I will just have to give it my all to get them to eat raw :)
It's like why would you feed your pets crap when we eat luxurious?! would we eat what we feed them? NO! but i garuntee that my parents wont start feeding my cats raw stuff :(
I am a vegetarian, (my reasons are because I love animals) but I don't try to feed my animals a vegetarian diet too unless they are meant to have it. I don't think that dogs should be vegetarians. They are domesticated but still, they are carnivores and their diet should be meat. :/
@LoveDoujinshi YES! I love you!!! I HATE when people are like ''LOOK i feed this cat or dog or LION a vegetarian diet and they're fine!!!'' But you can see they have low energy and stomach problems.... so by ''fine'' they mean ''not dead yet''.... There are bat shit crazy vegetarians in the world and then there are people like you who give a good name to vegetarians and love the animals the RIGHT WAY. So thank you.
I have seen operations on dogs where the poor dog has to have most of it's teeth removed because they were so rotten. Seriously, and they stand there defending themselves on what they are doing. I know a lot about dogs, I have even done a college course on small animals (a lot of it was to do with dogs) so I think I am in a position where I know a lot more about dogs than them, yet they just don't listen. It seriously pisses me off. GAAAAAA!!!!!
You don't know how much I agree with you. I get so worked up over this too. Actually, I would just be happy if my parents fed my dog only tinned food. That would be getting somewhere. She is fed so much crap, and when I say "It is bad for her, she is not supposed to eat that, why are you making her unhealthy?" THEY JUST SAY "oh well it is not much, let her eat it, you eat it too." WTF!?! Feeding your dog most things humans eat is just bad... just.. no. THEY GIVE HER THINGS LIKE CREAM, dear god!
After watching this I decided to try it on my two dogs. One of them has been having serious stomach problems since we adopted him from the pound. We have tried so many dog foods, special vet brands, just everything. I started them on the raw diet slowly, and increased the amount of raw meat over time and it worked wonders. He is no longer throwing up. Plus I am not spending $70 dollars a week on a tiny bag of special kibble that my 75lb dogs could eat in one sitting
What would be cool is if you could show the dog, cats, and whatever other raw fed critters you have. Show their coats, teeth, talk about how their health has improved, etc.
haha great rant. Raise your paw for raw! My akita/rottie can't have any type of bone other than soft chicken bones since he was chewing on a pork leg labor day of 2008 and cracked his tooth in half. $950 (to get the tooth removed, it was the largest molar) later, he just gets chicken bones (no breast bone though) or whole ground bone mixed in.
@dexamethasone Aw sorry to hear about him cracking a tooth! D; We're having problems with my sister's puppy actually... chewing. =__= She likes to just gulp down the meat whole (which she did with kibble, too) and ended up choking pretty badly this week.
@CalicoFeathers Would like to say that after doing a LOT of research on this, I found out that this is actually really normal for puppies. They end up coughing the inhaled food up and going "Oh... I should CHEW this time! 8D" and then they're all better. XD
I think a good way to help convince people to do raw food diet, is to post a tutorial video or something on how you do it. Makes it seem less threatening if they see how it's done.
I have to admit that this isn't meant to convince people at all. XD I'd been extremely frustrated with things I was seeing and just needed to let of steam. Writing out rants only frustrates me more, so I decided to do a vid.
I'll be doing a raw series a bit later, though. :3
I must ask.... would "Corned beef" count as a raw meat? thus okay for carnivores to eat? because I accidentally ended up feeding our main "cat lord" some corned beef. and he seemed to enjoy it.
I mean, I know it's cooked for human ingestion.. but still.
If it's cooked for human consumption, then the answer is no. While giving him a little as a treat or whatever isn't going to kill him or anything (unless he has allergies), it's best to stay away from anything processed (hotdogs, bologna, etc), blanched (tripe you buy at the store), or cooked. ;)
Yes yes, another comment from me. There's only so much I can put into a comment here so it would be better for me to make a video response of my thoughts but I'm terribly shy about being on video. XD
I do not have a dog yet but I have always wanted to raw feed it and am surprised at the arguments made against it. I was also surprised to find a site which focused on the direct opposite of what I was interested in which was having a vegetarian pet, saying that dogs are omnivores.
Yeah I've heard the dogs-are-omnivores argument, and I just can't understand it. Why would anyone classify dogs as omnivores? Yes the occasional half an apple or carrot is good for them, but it's not a regular part of their diet. The only omnivorous canine I know of is the maned wolf.
Kibble diet is like trying to force a human to go Vegetarian that doesn't want or need to be a vegetarian... I like meat.. I'm going to eat meat... dog is the same way :D
We buy our dogs expensive food. It's got true beef chunks in it.
@godsfiddler -nod- This is true. Though if you feel you MUST go the kibble route (for whatever reason) Blue Buffalo is just about the best you're going to find.
Lol "your giving your dog shit stop it" xD well said
May I ask what you feed your animals? (different meats)
When I get ferrets they are going on a raw diet :) nothing but the best for them

Carnivores!! =D sorry, I can't argue with you, I agree too much. ^.^ btw I love this angle and lighting for your videos, keep it!
btw, I think (depending on the breed) the bones in the raw diet are part of what keeps their teeth strong, right?

But he has more energy with the raw and poops less. Plus feeding raw is cheaper than "premium" kibble.
