The Pet Revolution: Raw Food Diets

The pet food revolution is here. It's time to consider a raw food diet for your pet. It's time for you to learn more and take action.
I’m sorry about the loss of your pet. Generally speaking i still think that raw food is more appropriate for dogs (and i assume cats, though i don’t have experience with cats) than kibble, though. A dog is a prey-eater and not a kibble eater. Besides that the largest part of kibble consists of grains, and dogs can’t digest grains.
Likely your cat was so used to kibble that it responded badly to raw food. It has to do with having less strong stomach acid which is essential to kill bacteria.
Ultimately, it is best for all pets to eat hard, crunchy food. A kitten or puppy may need a combination of canned food and dry food for a month or more as their digestive system matures but do not mix milk in with your pet’s food, and do not soak any dry food in water. These are common mistakes that can really upset your pet’s digestion. Again, ultimately, it is best for all pets to eat hard, crunchy food.
If you cared about pets you would offer the information free . . . As I feed my pets RAW food I am sure thatt your $3 book does not give any information that I would gladly give for free . . . for the love of animals. It is ok to sell a book, just not this way.

hey you seeem like you know what your talking about. I wanted to know if i should feed my pup raw food at an early age, and what raw foods can harm him. Cant dogs get brain worms from some types of raw meat, also cant they break there teeth trying to bite the bones. please reply back.
Yes, you should feed your pup raw food. It’s healthy for him/her.
Dogs won’t get worms from eating raw meat. Their strong gastric acid kills all the germs. You have to be aware that gastric acid of dogs is much stronger than human’s and because of that will kill lots more germs, such as salmonella.
You have to be careful what kind of bones you feed your dog. Never give bones that carried weight, such as legs. They are too hard and will break your dog’s teeth. I feed my dog chickenwings.
Also, NEVER EVER give your dog raw pig meat. There’s a small chance that the meat contains Aujeszky decease, which is harmless to humans but will instantly kill your dog.
what about canned tuna or cooked fish|?
Both perfectly alright to give.
no cooked bones, so boneless fish can be cooked…but tossin em’ an entire raw fish head in all is fine too
a power point?? i feel like i’m in class…
The dog when it all comes down to it’s natural biological form is a wolf both inside and out, it has the digestive system of the wolf and can digest all raw animal parts, bones kin hair feathers etc. It’s gastric juices kills bacteria and it’s immunine system can repel any types of bacteria known to man.
Not true. Hard, crunchy foods are carbohydrates which turn to sugar. Sugar harms the teeth. You wouldn’t eat crackers or cookies to keep your teeth clean. 4 years ago I put my 4 pugs and 3 cats on raw food. I became concerned becaused the dogs seemed to lose weight. It turned out that their weight did not change; their body shapes changed. Fat turned to muscle, coats became glossy, and stools became smaller. I’ll never open a bag or a can again.
cats are better then dogs. cats are smarter and stronger and they dont kill children like pitbulls.
You’re a moron. I mean cats being better than dogs is a fine opinion, but your reasoning for your opinion is lacking.
You’re simply wrong. Why aren’t there any seeing eye cats or search and rescue cats or drug sniffing cats? I know, because dogs are far superior in intellect and ability.
Fuck you jebus
Do some more research;)

Thanks for that lesson in “baseless ignorance”.
Raw food diets are expensive. I’m 23 and paying off student loans + rent + vehicle expenses. It’s just not an option for me, no matter how bad I want to get my dog on the raw food diet. Too expensive.
@jesuschristrulesyou:
Lol. Some people like dogs, some people like cats more, it doesn’t make either “better”.
Anyway, this is about feeding your pet healthy food, whether you have a cat or a dog. Both animals do best on real food!
I agree with what you’re saying regarding a raw diet for pets. It’s healthy to do so. It’s good you put an educational video out about it, but this video is a little boring. I think the narrator is talking waaayyyy too slow and that is probably why. Maybe talk a little bit more in normal speed and add some music.
After a long, careful consideration and being skeptical for a very long time…I decided to switch my dog to raw feeding 6 weeks ago, and I will never EVER go back to that garbage store-bought dry kibble food. I am so happy that I am one of those dog owners who’s made a choice to feed my dog raw food…
I use to work for a pet food store, they asked me what I feed my dog, when I told them I make my own food. I was instructed to lie to customers should they ever ask me the same question. This is a store that doesn’t even sell grocery store crap food but veterinary recommended foods.
I read an article that said a lot of pet food manufacturers even sign contracts with veterinary hospitals and pounds to get the deceased pets and put them into the pet food! Our pets are eating their own cousins! And what’s more, the manufacturers say it’s “too expensive” to even remove collars from the bodies before processing the meat…
