Preparing raw dog food for large dogs can be intimidating, but with this EASY step-by-step method, you can begin confidently raw feeding dogs in bulk and under budget!
While I have a great deal of raw feeding content on Big Dog Mom, I have often stopped short of giving you a step-by-step process for raw dog food meal preparation or a method for putting together a raw diet for your large dog.
So many of you have requested a HOW TO RAW FEED large dogs video, so here it is! This video is not a raw dog food recipe intended for you to follow, but rather one raw meal prep method that works for me and my two Mastiffs.
Be sure to read the full blog post that goes along with this video as I go into much more detail on BigDogMom.com! 👇🏻

@BigDogMom Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the great question! Unfortunately, I don't have any specific recipes that I follow. I vary what I feed pretty regularly and use the calculations shown in this video to figure out how much of each ingredient to feed. There are many options within each category (meat, organ, raw meaty bone, veggie, fruit, fat, etc), so really the recipe is whatever you want it to be. If you would like a detailed recipe for your meals, I did do a very comprehensive review of raw feeding mobile apps - several of which DO give you recipes to follow. Here is the link to that video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMqdiNSVx7PHgXU.html. Another option is to go through a website like Perfectly Rawsome. They will create recipes for you for a fee. I hope this helps!!

@christinec.3817 Жыл бұрын

I would think some raw (properly made) would be good for sensitive stomach. Always transition to new food very slowly adding a little at a time, this should help with loose stools. Also you can add some Slippery Elm or Marshmallow Root to help with tummy issues, both help the stomach. Sometimes going to raw, a dog goes through a "detox" period that seems like it's not working, but be patient, it's their body getting rid of the garbage stored from commercial dog food 😁🐾.

@christinec.3817 true. My past dog would poo about 4-5 times in one walk. It took about two weeks for his poo to become normal. He got rid of all the toxins in about two weeks. If you want hi s stool to become firm in that two week period, give him some cooked white rice with several tablespoons of canned organic pumpkin between his regular meals. Just a cup of cooked rice with the pumpkin, two tablespoons. It might take a couple of days for the stool to become firm. I've fed my new dog raw since he was 7 weeks old. He's a year old now and weighs 160lbs. No fat, just thick bone and all muscle. He is a South African Boerboel

I only buy from one of two raw food co-ops in my area. I can also get some raw items from the local Amish and from family that have cows. You sort of have to be creative and resourceful to find good deals. Most people have a raw dog food co-op, so that's where I would start. I hope this helps!!

@BigDogMom Жыл бұрын

I'm so sorry! It's hard to know how to help without knowing what you are feeding. When you watched this video, were your percentages about the same in terms of meat, bone, and organ? What else are you feeding? Allergies (typically from a protein source) can also sometimes be a culprit, so maybe look into that as well. Are you giving a probiotic? Typically a healthy dog on a raw diet will have loose stool (not runny diarrhea) from not enough bone or too much organ. I wish I could be more helpful. Maybe share a little more detail and I can try and offer some more concrete suggestions.

Cook up some white rice, add canned, organic pumpkin. Give him about a cup of rice with a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin mixed in. He'll have normal poo in a couple of days. You could feed that one daily for 3-4days between his normal raw.

I am a completely "normal" big dog owner who spends about the same amount on raw as I do on kibble. It may be slightly more expensive some months depending on what I can source here locally. And I do switch back to kibble when I run out of raw - or do a combination of the two. I really don't stress about it. I make it work for us.
