    Nutrients and Benefits of Eggs for Dogs and Cats

    Benefits of Feeding Eggs Eggs are a great addition to your pets raw or kibble meals. As shown in both graphics, eggs contain many beneficial nutrients. Eggs not only add vitamins, minerals, and protein, they also help improve your pets coat and skin. "Duck eggs are an Alkaline producing food, which is a great benefit to cancer patients as cancer cells do not thrive in an alkaline environment.

    Myoglobin

    These cubes were made from myoglobin that was left over from my beef kidney prep. It’s a liquid substance that seeps out of the meat you’re prepping. There was so much of it that I decided to freeze it into cubes and add to my dog’s meals. “The red liquid, instead, is a mixture of water and a protein called myoglobin (not blood), whose purpose is to help ship oxygen to muscle cells. Myoglobin is deeply pigmented, which is why the more myoglobin a meat contains, the darker (or

    Raw Fish (Kibble and Raw Fed Dogs)

    Fish can be fed to both kibble and raw fed dogs. These fish listed are some of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids and are the cleanest to feed because: 1️⃣ These fish are small and less likely to have mercury contamination and other toxins compared to larger fish. 2️⃣ They aren’t large bottom feeders, meaning they don’t eat a lot of junk from the floor of the ocean. Examples of fish to avoid are flounder, eels, haddock, bass, grouper, snapper, and some catfish. Benefits

    How to Travel with Raw Pet Food

    There are many different ways people can travel with raw food. For example, using a reliable cooler, bringing dry ice, feeding freeze-dried raw food, and so on. This is my experience with feeding my dog raw food while traveling. What we brought with us: Raw meals in Ziploc bags A regular cooler with just ice and 3 raw meals in it A Yeti cooler with 9 (2.5 pound) raw meals Paper plates Gloves Cleaning spray Paper towels Ice: I originally planned on bringing dry ice with us, bu

    Bone Broth, The Instant Pot Version!

    The Instant Pot is AMAZING for making bone broth. It takes 2-3 hours to make bone broth whereas a slow cooker takes at least 24 hours, stinking up your house the entire time. The Instant Pot does it in a fraction of the time and you don’t smell very much of it! Instructions: 1) Fill 2/3 of the pot with bones (I used pig hocks, pig feet, beef marrow bones, lamb neck bones, and cow feet) 2) Fill the pot with water 1-2 inches above the bones 3) Add 3/4 cup of Apple Cider Vin

    Why I Don't Feed Chicken To My Pets

    I don't recommend feeding chicken to dogs or cats that have allergies or other forms of inflammation because it increases inflammation in the body, it lacks essential nutrients, and can cause the health issues listed above. Chicken is a warming protein, meaning it will increase body temperature and any inflammation your dog or cat may be experiencing. This is based on Food Energetics from Chinese medicine. If your dog has allergies, hot spots, excessive itching, fur loss, or

    Average Cost for Feeding Raw Pet Food

    I asked 70 raw feeders across the U.S. how much they spend per month feeding their pets raw food. These are the results! I do want to point out that price can vary by location. These are a few tips on lowering costs when purchasing raw meat, bone, organs, and supplements. 1. Make your own home made raw food instead of buying pre-made raw from other companies. Pre-made raw diets are much more expensive than home made raw diets because the supplier increases the price for a hig

    Two Words: Raw Food

    Two words: Raw food. The top picture of Ella's coat was caused by her eating Purina dog food at the shelter for several months. She honestly looked much worse before I took this picture. We thought her skin was scarred over and that her fur would never grow back at one point. The bottom picture is of Ella after being completely on raw food for less than 2 months! She has no more bald spots, eye discharge, diarrhea, or weight loss issues. A lot of people say "I feed my dog Pu
