👉 Many photos of raw meals look too "perfect" o 👉 Many photos of raw meals look too "perfect" or "pretty" which can overwhelm pet parents who are considering a raw diet for their pet. Although these photos are a great example to show individual ingredients in a meal, it is an unrealistic view of everyday life for the majority of raw feeders. Therefore we created Messy Bowl Monday as a way to showcase real life examples of raw meals for dogs and cats! 🐾 Today's meal for Hannah's 2 year old Australian Shepherd mix, Nolo. Nolo is around 33lbs and currently consumes around 850kcal from DIY meals, and an additional 250 - 300kcal from balanced air-dried food used during training. 📅 Daily Menu: 🐰 Rabbit Head @rawfeedingmiami 🐄 80/20 Ground Beef 🐄 Green Beef Tripe @rawfeedingmiami 🐄 Beef Lungs @rawfeedingmiami 🐮 Beef Liver @mypetcarnivore01 🦃 Turkey Gizzards 🐖 Pork Heart 🥚 Duck Egg 🍣 Salmon @rawfeedingmiami 🥬 Spinach, boiled 🐝 Bee Pollen 🦠 Probiotic Powder @wildlyblended 💊 Zinc @solgar 💊 Vitamin E @solgar 💊 Kelp @nowfoodsofficial 🔖 We want to encourage pet parent who feed their dogs and cats raw to share their messy bowls in addition to their beautifully plated raw meals.

🏃‍♂️ Captain Jack Sparrow: *stating that 🏃‍♂️ Captain Jack Sparrow: *stating that feeding grains WILL NOT prevent DCM* 🔪 Dog Food Groups, Traditional Veterinarians & Nutritionists, Literally everyone following outdated & incorrect data: *ATTACK* 😡😡😤🤯🤬🤬 🍚 The amount of carbohydrates sometimes included in a balanced homemade diet, is not even remotely close to the amount that is in normal or grain-free kibble. 🟢 @drkarenbecker said it best- "The end result of excessive plant-based fillers in pet foods can be a chronic amino acid deficiency from not enough meat-based protein in pet foods, which can lead to heart and other organ dysfunction (as well as many other issues). Pet food companies pointing fingers at specific ingredients (like peas) is a deflection of the root problem: there are too many plant-based ingredients and not enough real meat in many pet foods on the market." 😉 The more you know... 🌍 PerfectlyRawsome.com (link in bio): 🥩 Custom Meal Plans ☎️ Phone Consultations ⚖️ Recipe Analysis & Adjustments 📊 Diet Spreadsheets 🛒 Perfectly Rawsome Merch 🐾 Free Raw Feeding Guides #PerfectlyRawsome #RawFeedingUniversity #RawFeeding #RawFeedingCommunity #RawFeedingMiami #PreyModelDiet #CanineNutrition #BarfModel #RawFedDogs #RawDogFood #DogFood #DogDiet #FelineNutrition #RawFedCats #DCM #CanineNutritionist #FelineNutritionist
🌟 Liver is a secreting organ that can be used t 🌟 Liver is a secreting organ that can be used to fulfill the “liver” ratio in PMR & BARF raw diets. All liver is uniquely concentrated in Vitamin A in the form of retinol. It is also packed with B vitamins & other minerals that will vary based on the species of liver. Liver is a highly important component to homemade diets & is not easy to replace. 🥕 While orange vegetables contain Vitamin A, it is in the form of Beta-carotene. Dogs & cats do not convert beta-carotene into retinol very well, therefore, it is essential to provide enough retinol to meet nutritional requirements. 3️⃣ Liver can be divided into 3 categories: Ruminant, Non-ruminant, & Waterfowl. Below are a few examples of each type: 👉 Ruminant: Beef or Lamb 👉 Non-ruminant: Chicken, Turkey or Pork 👉 Waterfowl: Duck 🐄 Ruminant liver is notable for providing plenty of copper in addition to Vitamin A. Beef liver is higher in copper than lamb. 💊 Non-ruminant liver will provide vitamin A, as well as, higher levels of biotin. A copper supplement will be required for healthy pets when this type of liver is fed exclusively. Non-ruminant liver can be useful for pets with liver conditions that require a professionally formulated low copper diet. 🦆 Waterfowl liver differs from the other 2 categories in its unique nutritional profile. Duck liver is extremely high in vitamin A, in addition to being high in iron. It also provides moderate copper levels. ⚠️ We recommend using waterfowl liver sparingly in DIY diets, in rotation with other types of liver, due to it’s high levels of vitamin A & iron. If duck liver is all that can be used, it is recommended to have the diet formulated by a professional. 🐈‍⬛ The amount of liver can vary in professionally formulated diets. Sometimes 2-3% for adult pets, meets nutritional requirements. However, the average guideline for DIY diets is 5% liver for adult pets & 7% liver for puppies/kittens. 📊 Feeding Guide per 1000kcal: 🐕 Adult Dog: 1oz (28g) 🐕 Puppy: 1.4oz (40g) 🐈 Adult Cat: 1oz (28g) 🐈 Kitten: 1.4oz (40g) 📊 Feeding Guide per 1 pound (453g) of food: 🐕 Adult Dog: 0.8oz (23g) 🐕 Puppy: 1.1oz (32g) 🐈 Adult Cat: 0.8oz (23g) 🐈 Kitten: 1.1oz (32g)
