Raising RABBITS to feed my DOGS – NRC Balanced dog food – Feeding dogs naturally

A couple years ago I learned how to feed my dogs naturally following NRC (national research council) guidelines, and today I …
Iād like to clarify something – RAW bones are generally safe for dogs to digest, provided that you are using bones of appropriate size for your dog. COOKED bones are very dangerous, never feed a dog any cooked bone as they can splinter and cause intestinal punctures or blockages.
Unfortunately Aria first got sick on a raw bone, not a cooked bone. All bones still produce some risks, which is why I choose (most of the time) to use a calcium carbonate supplement in my recipes instead.
Fun fact: you don't have to be certified to simply state facts, follow peer reviewed research and use common sense. You're doing great! Love the content!
I love it when worlds collide š Hello from fellow Raw Fed & Nerdy/NRC fed dog owner and rabbit raiser/homesteader! Iāll admit I clicked this video expecting the typical PMR vid. I think youāre the first homesteader Iāve seen post about fully nutritionally balanced raw (or cooked) diets for dogs. Awesome video and I am not usually a commenter but just had to this time!
THANK you!! we raise rabbits and quail to feed our pack of five… WE feed totally raw but it is a balance of meat, egg, internal organs, veggies and we also feed a small amount of rice. They also get beef, goats and pork in small quantities… Bones – they get raw in larger form.
Aww kitty was being so "helpful"š
I'm too lazy to do a full raw food regime for my cat so she gets around 50% raw food. One meal of raw food and grocery store kibble always available in an activation toyš¤
Kibble is easy and if you read the ingredients and percentages you can find pretty affordable quality products (or very expensive $Hitty products pushed by pet stores and even vets…)
Since cats are small carnivores whereas dogs are (bigger) meat-leaning omnivores "homecooking" for a cat would be pretty different… Especially since I'm vegetarianš š I would totally also offer (unseasoned!) cooked meat if there were any in this householdš
Thank you so much for the info! I've been curious about feeding potential future rabbits to my dogs.
Go vegan lol
Raw diet BAD.
We were looking at purchasing an Irish Wolfhound. Of the many, Many, MANY requirements was a raw diet of so many lbs of meat/day.
I went to my vet and asked him what a raw diet was, how to integrate it into the diet of my other dogs. He said, "Don't"
I asked "why? Cost prohibitive?"
He said no, many people are morons with their money believing they are doing something better for their pet, and that's their perogative".
Me:. "Why then, Doc?"
Vet:. "Do you have kids?"
Me:. "You know I do"
Vet: Infants and toddlers?"
Me:. "You know I do"
Vet: "Do have a lawn?"
Me:. "Yep"
Vet: "And do you let your kids play on that lawn?"
Me:. "That's the purpose for it"
Vet:. "Does your dog ever poop on your lawn?"
Me: Yes and we pick it up"
Vet: "Even if you were to pick it up all the time perfectly, there is always 'residual' left on the lawn, and then your kids run around on the lawn and crawls and roll….you get the point."
Me: "Yeah."
Vet: "We cook raw meat because it carries eccoli and salmonella among other things. If you feed a dog raw meat, it has salmonella and eccholi, then it goes through your dogs digestive system. The process does not kill those pathogens, so when your dog poops, all those and more are in the stool, and now on your grass, where your kids are playing….."
Vet:. "And since your not likely picking the poop up all the time perfectly, well, kids like to put everything in their mouths….
Ew…..
You have inspired me! Thank you. I have always wanted to give more options to my dogs, and utilize rabbit for them as well. My goal is to supplement kibble for now, we don't raise enough to feed completely home made. I appreciate you sharingš they certainly look amazing, so you're doing something right!
Iām able to view it now, šš¾!!
Weāre do you get the rabbit feeders from
Also want to add Iām very thankful you talk so openly about eating rabbit yourself. Rabbit is so delicious and nutritious and I soooo wish more would get into it. Itās so fun and very rewarding!
Iām almost embarrassed I want to take a bite š¤£š¤£
Lol. I cook an egg for my dog too.š¤Ŗ
I give my dog a small piece of frozen raw deer meat with every meal. He loves it
I pressure cook chicken bones for about an hour. They will crumble in your fingers.
Ug on the lack of power! Good video; yes I have to admit I was laughing at you with the scrambled eggs and laughing at your kitten
Love your channel, great job!
lol kitty stealing some food. i now know what to do for Shadow's 10th birthday. My doggo is gonna be so happy!
Are the bones cooked or raw? Dogs should never eat cooked bones! Raw bones are soft and easier to digest. Cooked bones are dangerous!
Great video! What a labor of love it truly shows how much you love your Ronan and Aria. And I noticed little Miss Mirin stealing rice in the background! š
All 6 of our dogs get quail eggs every day on their food. They get mad if the egg isnāt there. Lol!
This is fantastic! I have been curious for a long time how you make your dog's food so it was really cool to see
So if I move in next door can I have your dogsā leftovers? Rabbit, pork, liver, kale, rice, pumpkin, I like them all! š
nice š
have you watched horse plus humane society the latest video š¤š±
It says no stream, and I want to see this! Iām considering doing this as well!
I appreciate that you don't shy away from the meat aspect of breeding rabbits and I look forward to seeing you set loose on a bigger property with less restrictions!
Our corgi has a super sensitive stomach which is frustrating
It wonāt let me stream this š Iāll try again later very interested
