I tried raw feeding once and my dog started chattering its teeth I think it was from the taste of blood and its behavior started changing it started to become more aggressive towards me and not listen so I stopped. I tried feeding the dog raw meat today after 4 years without, it wouldn't even touch it. I think raw meet triggers primitive behavior in dogs but thats my theory.
I only tried raw feeding once. I got a couple of chicken drumsticks for my dogs (a boston terrier and an aging german shepherd mix) and handed them to them. The boston grabbed her drumstick and ran off to her bed, but didn't seem to be able to chew any of the meat off. The shepherd mix glanced at the chicken and then just stared at me. Even when I removed the meat from the bone and gave it to them, the shepherd mix showed no interest and the boston couldn't eat it. Or maybe she's just lazy. XD
@MrKp5259 The older one's super picky these days, and I doubt she'd eat food she doesn't want even if I starved her, because as it is right now she's gotten quite skinny. That might work for the boston, although I'm not sure, because she seemed to genuinely have trouble chewing it, and she's a huge glutton, so she's not picky. I suppose it might have been because she's not accustomed to that much work to eat meat, since she normally only gets cooked meat. Anyway, thanks for the advice!
@zehnsechz I experimented with them but the dogs weren't huge fans and the per ounce price is super expensive. Plus, that does nothing to clean their teeth.
@CowieMooCowxo87 The bottom line is that domesticated dogs are decendants of wild dogs and wolves. That is why raw is beneficial to dogs. There we go. Problem solved. Lets move on!
@HopesCharm I never said I disagreed with feeding a dog raw (or cooked, they like it cooked too). I'm just saying it's retarded to say a tiny dog like this would kill a goat and eat it's head in the wild.
@CowieMooCowxo87 : She got the goat head from a Mexican store. You can read the description under the video. And yes, it looks disturbing. If I have a small dog, I would give him whole chicken or duck. I feed my cats whole fish. They love it.
@OS253 yeah I read the description, I don't see why that matters lol. I knew it was a goat head, I just don't see what the point of that is. anybody who would let their animal eat another animals' face has problems lol
@CowieMooCowxo87 The point is that there aren't a lot of bones that the Pomeranians can chew on to clean their teeth where they don't take in a ton of meat first that fills them up. The goat head doesn't have a lot of meat on it but it has a lot of different textured surfaces that makes them chew with all the different surfaces of their teeth, not just the front or back ones. Disturbing? Yes. Functional? Yes.
Been raw feeding my chihuahua/terrier mix for several months now and she's never been healthier. I have a question though... how do you get good bone in their diet? I tried chicken legs but apparently that is too much meat (she only needs 0.25lbs per day)?
@CRAZYPICKLEJUICE45 LMAO. She eats it straight. Sometimes frozen, sometimes chilled from the fridge, sometimes she lets it sit out until it's room temp. Dogs have different stomachs than people do so they aren't generally given bacteria problems like we are and worms in meat comes from flies. That said, it's also all people grade cuts of meat.
How the hell is this graphic? It's just a goat's head.. if you think that it is actually horrifying then you must be eating mystery meat from McDonald's daily.
@Glennifying It's probably graphic to people who are squeamish looking at a skinned goat head... Yeah, who knows whats in those "meat" patties McDonald's makes.... For all I know, we're eating rotten pig assholes.
@Glennifying It's graphic because it is not something we are exposed to often. But it's as nature intended it and they are doing just that. However, for those that are looking up on dog videos or pom vids, some of them are squeamish and would prefer not to see it. I'm not squeamish and am looking up on this very topic, raw feeding, but it's nice to know if you're about to view something that closely resembles the animal's living form being torn and picked at as opposed to a few cuts of raw meat.
@ChameleonicRenegade Well.. you were already warned in the title of the video.. so I have no idea why people would still complain. You're right though.
@Glennifying It's graphic to people who aren't used to seeing raw feeding. Heck, even my family who is used to my raw feeding is still squeamish about the goat head feeding. So I felt it was fair to warn people that it might gross them out before they watched the video.
at first I was all fine with it. Seeing if a little dog can have that sort of diet. and when i read the description and it said it was a goat head i thought, Oh, cool. Then i looked at the meat the little dog was eating and I could see the goat head. I gagged. That was a horrifying discovery.
I have a small, 5lb chihuahua/pomeranian aka "pomchi", and thought of getting him started on raw. I looked at his size and thought 'Oh Boi' this may be a challeng since he eats like a finicky bird. Well, i gave him his first pork neck the other day and he turned into the tazzmanian devil! Just invision this whirl wind of fur going crazy on the meat and in minutes the bone was bare and he looked up at me, standing over the almost gone bone, as if saying, "My precious!!!" LOL!!!
@maharley27 Now THAT'S a video I'd like to see! Maybe next time. Makes me want to go to the store for pork neck (not sure what that looks like, but) since I'm thinking of getting completely away from commercial dog food....cat food too!

What beautiful dogs! I LOVE Poms. I got a pig head for our Jack Russell once. It was great to watch her try to eat it. She ate what she wanted and then I bagged it up and tossed it back in the fridge. After about a week I had to get rid of it, but it was great for her and I wish I could do it more often.
@giannadapple Until the pet food industry was born from the slaughterhouse industry (surplus animal parts used to make pet food) dogs caught their food or got scraps from human meals. Dogs are actually carnivores so God designed them to get all their nutrition from meat. Kibble is just junk from waste - either slaughterhouse waste or farming waste. Sometimes the simplest way is the best way. Nothing gross about it. Raw feeders have some of the healthiest dogs you will ever see.
@giannadapple Actually highly educated people who understand that their dogs are carnivores and are built to eat raw meat and bones. Kibble is not a natural food source and dogs are not meant to eat grains and all the other filler in kibble. The high process and heat destroys most of the nutritional value that was in kibble to begin with any way. Perhaps you should look into the subject further before calling anyone "back woods".
@giannadapple No, back woods people who don't care about their dogs feed them Ol' Roy. People who care about their dogs spring for the more expensive and better ways to feed them.
People from many cultures eat the heads of animals. As well as the tails, feet testicles, brains and other organs. Some people also eat hot dogs. The worst of both worlds.
Good for you for feeding your dogs raw meat. They're beautiful. :)
Thanks so much for this video! I just started feeding my two poms a raw diet about a month ago, they are the same age as yours! Can you share what the diet you feed them consists of? I would be forever thankful. I think they are doing great in the diet, specially the youngest one, he is a lot more energetic and some symptoms disappeared. However, their stools have been dark and soft in the last few days. Any advice would be appreciated.
@LaCiguapaRebelde I gotta buddy who feed his dog like this, so I can tell you that their stool will be more "human like", rather than the hard clumps you're likely used to. This is natural, because a natural diet produces natural stool.
@hckcm7315 I think the reason was that they needed a little more bone in their diet and a less complex transition, meaning that I should only feed them one thing at a time. I just started feeding them only raw chicken wings and backs and I think they are doing better. I will do this for at least a week, and then integrate other meats as they adjust to the transition. Thank you!
I wonder what is the oldest raw fed dog that you know of? I own a 1.5 year old Rot-mix and am a beginner to feeding raw. The results have been amazing. I have researched for a couple years now, but cannot seem to find much hard data in the way the lifespan of our raw fed ones, esp. for the larger breeds.
A head is actually quite nutritious, the eyes are very high in Zinc. Great to see.
I have very close friends who lost a dog under anesthesia while getting his teeth cleaned. Absolutely heartbreaking, but they won't even consider raw. I'd been considering a goat's head for my Belgian. Maybe I'll go ahead and do it ... so long as I don't have to look at it, lol.
@NocturnalSweetie Cheap with a little dog. My Pomeranians only eat about 2 ounces of food a day! I would highly recommend it with little dogs to keep the teeth looking nice. Make sure you give them meaty bones they have to chew on at least 2-3 times per week as that's what keeps all the tartar broken off.
@TheRescueDogs Thanks! I do already give him pork bones to chew on but his meals consist of high quality dry dog food. Think about switching to the raw since its seems to be an even better choice and much more natural and healthy.
@NocturnalSweetie For small dogs, really cheap. My Poms eat about 2 ounces of raw food a day on average. It's more expensive if you buy the premade commercial raw diets. Cheaper if you get meat from the grocery store. Just balance out over time about 70% muscle meat, 15% bone, and 15% organs.
I've only been feeding raw for about a year now i got a friend whose family owns a meat packing business and i can get about anything. I also bought me a meat grinder from northern tool. It works great by the way. I put turkey wings,backs,necks,etc. in it and it goes right threw them. I usually grind up the tripe wih a couple hearts and maybe a kidney or two. You got any ideas for me as far as what else i could feed? i do feed pork neck bones and stuff but i always try to keep my dogs intersted
@dovie2blue I don't grind any RMB i just grind their tripe that way i can portion it out to my four APBT's easier, and tripe doesn't have bones so..... No i'm right there with ya on the bone thing
My pitbull/greyhound mix eats Taste of the Wild and Organic Ground Beef everyday. I only need to use about 2 1/2 cups Taste of the Wild and about 3 cups OGB (he weighs 78 lbs) to fill him up as he eats only once a day after my husband and I have eaten and he has worked hard all day with me and assisted me with helping other dogs become more social.
Once a week, he gets a "soup bone" a large femur of cattle to gnaw on.
I have a 6 month Samoyed puppy and 2 Pomeranian and 1 of them is 15 years old and the other is 1 year. I am researching a lot on raw diet for my dogs especially the Samoyed
How would I start feeding the raw diet? I know it has to be introduced gradually but where do I start?
@mrandmrscash I would say start with GROUND UP meats, and then, gradually build to more solid meats....And use organic...no antibiotics, preservatives, etc. Also, make sure the dog works to earn its meal, and only eats after you do, so it will understand YOU are the packleader.
@mrandmrscash@mrandmrscash I will direct you to the Yahoo Group for rawfeeding, which has a FAQ on getting started as it won't let me post the links here. I started with chicken and then when they were tolerating that well added other protein sources. I do not feed organic except liver. I simply can't afford it. Let me know if you have more questions!
@cherryberryblossom A dog won't choke on bones as long as they're left uncooked. The cooked bones can splinter and cause damage, but raw bones are perfectly safe. :D She may cough a bit on them if she doesn't chew them correctly the first time, but it's definitely no worry.
@CalicoFeathers , i keep hearing that, but yet, i have talked to one person live that is a foster for rescues, her colleague had a pug that choked to death on a raw bone.
kyia, my shih tzu has been raw for a year now, and does fine, but sometimes coughs and gags when chewing a bone. but i thought the rule was feed a bone bigger than the dogs head? that is why rabbit ribs worried me.. but she ate the leg fine the other day..:)
@cherryberryblossom Choking is a risk with whatever your dog puts in their mouth. They can choke just as easily on ground, mushy food as they can on a bone. Dogs have choked on kibble. On tennis balls and sticks and rocks. Rabbit especially should be really easy for your dog to crunch up. Smaller, hard bones I'd say are more of a no-no.
If they've swallowed more than they should, usually the dog will cough/throw it back up. :D
My two chihuahuas love raw meaty bones and their teeth are perfect at 8 and 9 years of age! It's what nature intended peoples........ get with the program!
This is great!!! This is a big meal for a pom! How much of this would he/she eat? I want to start my chi on raw who is similar sized to your pom. Can it crunch through these skull bones with it's small jaw or does it just tear the meat from it and leave the skull? x
@m46664 No, they just tear the meat off of it. The only animals they can really eat the bone from are small animals like poultry and rabbits. And it's not really that big of a meal. It's a lot of bone with some muscle meat attached to it. I feed it because it makes them gnaw a lot, which is great for keeping the teeth clean.
@m46664 My chi's love raw chicken wings/legs and their teeth are PERFECT! They crunch right through them.... Bigger bones they tear off the meat and then slowly gnaw gnaw gnaw over the WEEKS until there's nothing left! Little devil carnivores xoxo

@chuncky900 I have fed fish in the past but not very frequently because I hate the smell of fish. I usually just give them fish oil capsules. And my dogs have always been fine with all of the bones I've fed them.
I feed my pom bil-jac small breed select and occasionally boneles skinless chicken breast and some steamed veggies but a raw goats head on the ground? ha ha i hope they get some fruits and veggies too. antioxidants would be important for feeding like that.
@rocketcunt It is gross. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find bones that have little enough meat that they don't gorge themselves but big enough where they actually have to chew and scrape their teeth off. Head fits the bill perfectly. It's an every couple month thing.
You say cooked is best, but look at all the dogs that died from dry dog food in the past couple years! The food loses a lot of nutrients when it is cooked. There are benefits and risks to feeding raw and commercial, but I did my research and in my mind, the benefits outweigh the risks most with raw. Chewing on bones is what keeps the teeth and gums healthy and white and they don't get that from a bone supplement. My dogs have safely eaten raw for almost 10 years now.
@ALXD1974 There are more reasons that dogs should NOT eat cooked food. It kills many nutrients and enzymes that are necessary for a balanced diet. Parasites are not an issue in the US, and bacteria is not an issue due to the high content of hydrochloric acid in the dogs digestive juices. Raw bones are safe, cooked bones are dangerous.
@ALXD1974 Bone supplements do nothing to clean the teeth and little dogs are notorious for having filthy teeth, which leads to internal and heart problems, something that is common in Poms. I have been feeding raw for about 8 years now and no problems. Not to say that there COULDN'T be problems, but look at all the dogs that died from eating commercial dry food! Nothing is 100% safe. The food loses a lot of nutritional value when cooked so we go raw.
@ALXD1974 I don't know where you're getting your meat from! The parasite the is argued for in pork is practically non existent in America, and where it is found is in wild pigs. And I've never seen a raw bone harm a dog unless it swallows it whole, and that's why we choose cuts that are too large so they crunch it up.
@ALXD1974, actually dogs and cats have super short digestive tracts designed to kill high level of bacteria. Besides, the Pottenger's Cat study verified that raw diets are the only way to go years ago! Why not look it up?
@KatCountry1033Girl Yup, no doubt about that! But, it keeps their teeth clean which in turn keeps them healthier because they don't have that bacteria going up into their bloodstream from the tartar.
LOL! It's like watching wolves eating on the discovery channel. I have a pomeranian. I might consider raw. I have to get passed the hibbi-jibbies on seeing my dog consume what we as people percieve as dangerous i.e. selminela poisoning.
Yes, very tiny, very furry wolves! LOL It does take a little bit to get used to the "gross out" factor of raw, but once you do, it's smooth sailing. Nothing grosses me out anymore!

People from many cultures eat the heads of animals. As well as the tails, feet testicles, brains and other organs. Some people also eat hot dogs. The worst of both worlds.
Good for you for feeding your dogs raw meat. They're beautiful. :)

Thanks so much for this video! I just started feeding my two poms a raw diet about a month ago, they are the same age as yours! Can you share what the diet you feed them consists of? I would be forever thankful. I think they are doing great in the diet, specially the youngest one, he is a lot more energetic and some symptoms disappeared. However, their stools have been dark and soft in the last few days. Any advice would be appreciated.
LaCiguapaRebelde 1 year ago
@LaCiguapaRebelde I gotta buddy who feed his dog like this, so I can tell you that their stool will be more "human like", rather than the hard clumps you're likely used to. This is natural, because a natural diet produces natural stool.
Hope that helps.
hckcm7315 1 year ago
@hckcm7315 I think the reason was that they needed a little more bone in their diet and a less complex transition, meaning that I should only feed them one thing at a time. I just started feeding them only raw chicken wings and backs and I think they are doing better. I will do this for at least a week, and then integrate other meats as they adjust to the transition. Thank you!

I wonder what is the oldest raw fed dog that you know of? I own a 1.5 year old Rot-mix and am a beginner to feeding raw. The results have been amazing. I have researched for a couple years now, but cannot seem to find much hard data in the way the lifespan of our raw fed ones, esp. for the larger breeds.
A head is actually quite nutritious, the eyes are very high in Zinc. Great to see.

how expensive is it to feed raw, I am thinking about getting my pom puppy on it at some point
NocturnalSweetie 1 year ago
@NocturnalSweetie Cheap with a little dog. My Pomeranians only eat about 2 ounces of food a day! I would highly recommend it with little dogs to keep the teeth looking nice. Make sure you give them meaty bones they have to chew on at least 2-3 times per week as that's what keeps all the tartar broken off.
TheRescueDogs 1 year ago
@TheRescueDogs Thanks! I do already give him pork bones to chew on but his meals consist of high quality dry dog food. Think about switching to the raw since its seems to be an even better choice and much more natural and healthy.
NocturnalSweetie 1 year ago
@NocturnalSweetie For small dogs, really cheap. My Poms eat about 2 ounces of raw food a day on average. It's more expensive if you buy the premade commercial raw diets. Cheaper if you get meat from the grocery store. Just balance out over time about 70% muscle meat, 15% bone, and 15% organs.

I've only been feeding raw for about a year now i got a friend whose family owns a meat packing business and i can get about anything. I also bought me a meat grinder from northern tool. It works great by the way. I put turkey wings,backs,necks,etc. in it and it goes right threw them. I usually grind up the tripe wih a couple hearts and maybe a kidney or two. You got any ideas for me as far as what else i could feed? i do feed pork neck bones and stuff but i always try to keep my dogs intersted

My pitbull/greyhound mix eats Taste of the Wild and Organic Ground Beef everyday. I only need to use about 2 1/2 cups Taste of the Wild and about 3 cups OGB (he weighs 78 lbs) to fill him up as he eats only once a day after my husband and I have eaten and he has worked hard all day with me and assisted me with helping other dogs become more social.
Once a week, he gets a "soup bone" a large femur of cattle to gnaw on.
And, it is very easily digested.

I have a 6 month Samoyed puppy and 2 Pomeranian and 1 of them is 15 years old and the other is 1 year. I am researching a lot on raw diet for my dogs especially the Samoyed
How would I start feeding the raw diet? I know it has to be introduced gradually but where do I start?
mrandmrscash 1 year ago
@mrandmrscash I would say start with GROUND UP meats, and then, gradually build to more solid meats....And use organic...no antibiotics, preservatives, etc. Also, make sure the dog works to earn its meal, and only eats after you do, so it will understand YOU are the packleader.
wolf101085 1 year ago
@mrandmrscash @mrandmrscash I will direct you to the Yahoo Group for rawfeeding, which has a FAQ on getting started as it won't let me post the links here. I started with chicken and then when they were tolerating that well added other protein sources. I do not feed organic except liver. I simply can't afford it. Let me know if you have more questions!

cherryberryblossom 1 year ago
@cherryberryblossom A dog won't choke on bones as long as they're left uncooked. The cooked bones can splinter and cause damage, but raw bones are perfectly safe. :D She may cough a bit on them if she doesn't chew them correctly the first time, but it's definitely no worry.
CalicoFeathers 1 year ago
@CalicoFeathers , i keep hearing that, but yet, i have talked to one person live that is a foster for rescues, her colleague had a pug that choked to death on a raw bone.
kyia, my shih tzu has been raw for a year now, and does fine, but sometimes coughs and gags when chewing a bone. but i thought the rule was feed a bone bigger than the dogs head? that is why rabbit ribs worried me.. but she ate the leg fine the other day..:)
cherryberryblossom 1 year ago
@cherryberryblossom Choking is a risk with whatever your dog puts in their mouth. They can choke just as easily on ground, mushy food as they can on a bone. Dogs have choked on kibble. On tennis balls and sticks and rocks. Rabbit especially should be really easy for your dog to crunch up. Smaller, hard bones I'd say are more of a no-no.
If they've swallowed more than they should, usually the dog will cough/throw it back up. :D

m46664 1 year ago
@m46664 No, they just tear the meat off of it. The only animals they can really eat the bone from are small animals like poultry and rabbits. And it's not really that big of a meal. It's a lot of bone with some muscle meat attached to it. I feed it because it makes them gnaw a lot, which is great for keeping the teeth clean.

@rocketcunt It is gross. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find bones that have little enough meat that they don't gorge themselves but big enough where they actually have to chew and scrape their teeth off. Head fits the bill perfectly. It's an every couple month thing.

there is a reason that dogs should eat cooked food...parasites especialy pork meat....and bones can harm the dog...u can give it bones suplement.
ALXD1974 2 years ago
You say cooked is best, but look at all the dogs that died from dry dog food in the past couple years! The food loses a lot of nutrients when it is cooked. There are benefits and risks to feeding raw and commercial, but I did my research and in my mind, the benefits outweigh the risks most with raw. Chewing on bones is what keeps the teeth and gums healthy and white and they don't get that from a bone supplement. My dogs have safely eaten raw for almost 10 years now.
DonnaNPups 2 years ago
@ALXD1974 There are more reasons that dogs should NOT eat cooked food. It kills many nutrients and enzymes that are necessary for a balanced diet. Parasites are not an issue in the US, and bacteria is not an issue due to the high content of hydrochloric acid in the dogs digestive juices. Raw bones are safe, cooked bones are dangerous.
nikomkvli171 2 years ago
@ALXD1974 Bone supplements do nothing to clean the teeth and little dogs are notorious for having filthy teeth, which leads to internal and heart problems, something that is common in Poms. I have been feeding raw for about 8 years now and no problems. Not to say that there COULDN'T be problems, but look at all the dogs that died from eating commercial dry food! Nothing is 100% safe. The food loses a lot of nutritional value when cooked so we go raw.
DonnaNPups 1 year ago 16
@ALXD1974 I don't know where you're getting your meat from! The parasite the is argued for in pork is practically non existent in America, and where it is found is in wild pigs. And I've never seen a raw bone harm a dog unless it swallows it whole, and that's why we choose cuts that are too large so they crunch it up.
