The Raw Dog Food Truth
Nature's Design: Why Simple Nutrition Creates Healthier, Happier Dogs
Raw feeding transforms pets with vibrant health, resulting in consistently positive comments about their appearance and vitality from others who notice the difference. Real nutrition creates real results that processed foods simply cannot match.
• Health is the natural state of the body – our focus should be on identifying what's interfering with natural wellbeing
• Dogs fed varied proteins, organs, and bones receive complete nutrition without needing synthetic supplements
• The myth that raw meat causes parasites is unfounded – parasites are species-specific and modern meat is safely processed
• Many vets profit from a cycle of selling processed food and then treating the resulting illnesses
• Marketing rather than results drives much of the pet food and supplement industry
• Consistency in processed food is marketed as beneficial but variety is what creates true health
• Simple nutrition with real food delivers better results than complicated supplement regimens
• Pet parents often notice immediate improvements when switching from processed food to raw

Well, hello raw feeders. I'm Deedee Mercer-Moffitt, ceo of Raw Dog Food Company, where your pet's health is our business and where friends like my friend Dr Judy Jasik doesn't let friends feed kibble. Why not Come on? Don't you want to make the money that you could make? Dr Jason, are you crazy?
Speaker 2:Guess, so Guess. I'm crazy Because it'd be a heck of a lot easier to just say yeah, just feed those, as you say, the cakey cakey, the cakey Cookies, cakes and donuts and all that stuff. Just feed them the Fruit Loops. Yeah, cookies, cakes and chemicals, cookies, cakes and donuts and all that stuff Just being in the Froot Loops. Yeah, cookies, cakes and chemicals, and cookies, cakes and chemicals. And then you make a lot of money off of them. You know being sick Great business model.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you know we're out here promoting raw, so your pets can be healthy. They don't even have to go to that.
Speaker 1:And then people look at you like are you crazy? And I'm like, well, I don't know. I've only been this only my 25th year. You'd think I would have figured out by now that I'm crazy if I am. But every single person I will tell you that has a raw fed dog. I bet you, if they keep them slim and they're not overfeeding them, I bet you that people say your dog looks amazing. Because we get that all the time, all the time Right, and because there is a very different look when your dog in the same thing with people, when when your dog's not getting um, good nutrition. I was, I was watching people the other day.
Speaker 1:Well, I watch people all the time it's pretty entertaining actually yes, but I was like there is such a parallel between the humans and the animals, right in this respect, that humans limp and they walk with a waddle and they've got these bellies not not all of them, but just. You know, I'm looking around at people and they're not bright-eyed and they're not toned and I was just like that is. Dogs are the same way. You see them starting to limp. You know their toenails aren't cut. Their body aches, they're out of shape, their hair's falling out. They smell. I don't know if these people smelled. I didn't get that close. Excuse me, do you stink? Okay, I'm going to go off on a tangent real quick. I've noticed that all of the deodorant companies are now promoting that you put deodorant all over your body, not just under your arms, but in every crevice.
Speaker 2:I'm just like what has happened. I don't know, Do people stink more or they just want to sell more deodorant? I don't know. They're like people stink more or they just want to sell more to you I don't know.
Speaker 1:But I said the other day I was like what is it with all these companies? They're like I can put this everywhere on the bottom of my feet and the back of my knees, you know, under my arms.
Speaker 2:I was just like. I guess they don't want us to smell like humans, maybe. Maybe then we're unrecognizable or something, or they just want to sell more product.
Speaker 1:There you go, ding, ding, ding, ding ding, which is something that we see all the time in the pet world. It doesn't I? I'm not sure why people think if it's on TV or it's in the vet clinic that it's all good for your animal.
Speaker 2:Right, or even on a podcast from certain people.
Speaker 1:Right, and we typically don't name names, but I will say that people probably know who you know, who things who were talking about in in certain circles. But there are a lot of supplement pushers. Push, push, push the supplements because you may not, you may no longer be actually seeing patients of pets, right You're're? You're no longer treating pets. So how, dr jason, here's a question if you're no longer treating pets, um, uh, how do you, how do you know that that supplement is is a thing, right, that you should be? Let's just take cancer cause you treat cancer a lot in pets. How do we know that that's really what is going to be beneficial or not?
Speaker 2:Right, that's a great. It's a great question because I don't think. I don't think you do know, unless you're actually working with patients and seeing these things in real life. Cause, even if there's research studies to support things, who did the research? Who paid for the research? How was the research done? How many doctors studied? Cause I can tell you, cancer is all over the map, unpredictable.
Speaker 2:I mean, it could take 10 pets with a similar diagnosis and you could treat them all the same way and you're going to have all different outcomes because it's biology, they're just all very different and sometimes, like products are promoted as being, oh, this is like the panacea. You know, we've heard this about. You know, after, after COVID, so we heard more about fenbendazole and ivermectin, these antiparasitics, and now, like, oh, that's just the thing, if there was one thing that killed cancer or took care of cancer, we wouldn't have cancer, right? But and I'm sure, on every single one of these supplements, whatever they're saying they're treating, it's probably worked really, really well in some cases. But you're also not getting the whole story.
Speaker 2:So, say, there's a certain product that's supposed to treat cancer and it's wonderful, and there's even testimonials of people that have used it, but they don't say what else did they do? What were they feeding? Did they change the diet, were they doing? Because most people that go outside the conventional treatment route are doing multiple things. They're not just doing one thing, it's always a combination of things, and I think that pet parents, to some degree, can have a very good intuition on what's good for their pet. But what's good for their pet is not going to be good for everybody else's pet it's. It's not a one size fits all. So to promote things for certain causes, when there are certain conditions, when you're not, you know, boots on the ground, really evaluating the patients, I think it'd be a real disservice.
Speaker 1:Well, it's just a crapshoot a little bit, right, it's like. And I do wonder if the thought is, well, it's not going to hurt him, right, so it's not going to hurt him, so I'm going to go ahead and promote it. But yeah, you know, it's a funny thing. This marketing, right, the marketing out there Marketing, is what sells everything. Because if it was actually the results right, so if it, then raw food, right, should be like the only thing that any animal eats, because you can see the results. You can. There's.
Speaker 1:I don't know any pet parent that did not see a result. Now let me a positive result from going from kibble to raw. Are there people that will say my dog couldn't eat raw? And I will say, well, what? Tell me how you were doing it. And there are so many things that I could tweak about how they were doing it, you know and change that outcome like sloppy poops, right. People are like, who was I talking to the other day? Somebody said, yes, I used to feed raw. I was, but I was getting all of my food from the butcher and they just had diarrhea and I was like, well, was there bone in there? Did you do any bone? No, no, I'm like, well, there's a problem, right, so. But my point is if, if, if marketing had to be based solely on the fact that you saw amazing results, then raw would be off the charts, because there's no way you don't get a better result in a human or a pet by taking out processed foods, that's impossible.
Speaker 2:Yet the propaganda from conventional vets is that raw is, is is causing all this disease because of the evil bacteria and parasites and everything in it. So it's like it's the opposite, like we know that raw has this tremendous advantage. Yet the popular propaganda was oh no, this is bacteria and you know cancer patients can is bacteria and you know cancer patients can't eat. You know they can't eat that raw because all that bacteria in there. So the propaganda is also has the big influence on the negative side. It's like reverse marketing why?
Speaker 1:why do people say I'm gonna ask you this on the human side first. Why do people say I'm going to ask you this on the human side first? Why do people say if you eat raw meat okay, raw hamburger meat you're going to get worms? Why do they say that, dr Jasek and I'm talking about organic raw hamburger meat from the grocery store already packaged if I eat that raw, put a little salt on it, am I going to get worms popping out my sphincter?
Speaker 2:I doubt it, but it's probably because it happened once. Maybe somebody one time saw worms on raw food, like 200 years ago or something like a long time ago, you know, because the industry didn't used to be, you know, clean like if you're buying grocery store meat it's inspected and all that stuff. Um, you know pork. I still have people ask me, oh all the time, is pork safe? No, we would, yeah and dirty.
Speaker 1:I always say this we wouldn't sell it if it was going to hurt the dogs. But then I think but the vets do, but the vets do. I mean they, they, and so do the grocery stores. I don't just have to single out the vets, but if we're talking about people that should be advising on pet health, they sell a product that is not good for your pet. So I'm like I could say that, but that's not true in the entire industry. But no, I wouldn't sell it if it was bad for the dogs. Yeah, let me give you some port. That's going to, you know, totally wipe out my entire customer base. It seems like it would be bad for business.
Speaker 2:So why doesn't that happen? How do the vets get away with that?
Speaker 1:Because they finance both sides of the war. Right, it doesn't matter if it makes them sick, because they're not going to think it's you right, so you can come in with the solution.
Speaker 2:You've got the you just need a white coat, dd, and, like a stethoscope, you need a white coat instead of your red shirt. And then, oh, dd's got a white coat, so that makes that means she's smart and she wouldn't do anything there right now.
Speaker 1:I know people that that you know, they just get a doctorate in something that's real basic and then they call themselves a doctor and everybody goes oh, they're super smart, yeah, I should have done that. Why? Why? Why wasn't I smart enough to do that, dr jasic, like get a, get, something like that, so that?
Speaker 2:you elevate my position because you're too smart to waste your time going to school and getting a meaningless degree. You're like, okay, well, I didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 1:No, I meant I didn't mean that what I I'm not talking about a medical DR. I'm talking about, like, jill Biden, what's her D, what's her doctor?
Speaker 2:It's like it's not a doctor like you, I know, I know, I know what you mean, but it's still a waste of time. I mean, you still have to put time into going and doing that and and you know it's, it's a lot of time just to get some initials.
Speaker 1:I don't know, Maybe it pays off big time. Maybe people would not question you about your pork. You know what I should have done. I should have got the doctorate in something you know that didn't require me to go to school that much, and also got my reverend's license, Cause you can get that online. Just go online. Reverend Didi. Reverend Dr. Reverend Dr.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Everybody would believe what she's saying.
Speaker 2:I would be so rich. If your Bible of raw feeding, I would be so rich. You have your Bible of raw feeding.
Speaker 1:It would be. That would be. I just gave somebody an idea. Pretty soon we're going to find somebody out there. There'll be a Reverend and a doctor selling something. Nobody's questioning that, yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 2:Back to the, to the meat industry. In the pork, you know, I think there are definitely circumstances where animals are not raised in a healthy environment and people would see that and I think that probably at one point was maybe true with the pork. They weren't raised in a healthy environment. Now, pigs are dirty animals. They really do like to lay around in the dirt and wallow in the mud. That's their happy life, but that doesn't mean that they're dirty on the inside. If they're leading a good, they're getting a good diet and they're, you know, managed in a way that they're healthy, not not just, you know, in what they're eating, but a healthy, you know. You know their emotional environment and they're in in the correct environment so their bodies aren't stressed. You know they're going to be healthy. I really think things like parasites. You know they show up when the animals stress. They don't show up in in healthy animals.
Speaker 2:I've been, I'm reading a lot about rudolph steiner and his philosophies, anthroposophic medicine I've been studying and you know he most of this, most of his writings, were still about people, because I think he died at like 64 years old, um, before he could write a lot about, a lot about animals. But you know his whole philosophy is that you know there's a spirit, is definitely a spiritual aspect to humans and also to the animals, and you have to be addressing not just the physical but the emotional and spiritual aspects. What's the best lifestyle for them? What's healthy? Dogs are not meant to live in crates eight or 10 hours a day. You know they're not just evening or weekend entertainment and you know I've seen that a lot. And then people wonder why they have behavior problems and they aren't socialized and all of that you know well. It's the same for our livestock producers you know, pig production production.
Speaker 2:I remember, even when I was in vet school, which was like like a whole other lifetime ago now, um, we go visit these pig facility you have to put on like a gown and and uh, booties and stuff. They're practically sterile and these poor pigs, they just, they're just in, like where they pharaoh them, where the um, the pigs have their little piglets. They're just in these crates. They don't ever move. Oh, my gosh, it's, it's horrible. They're clean, but those animals and you know why they have to keep them so clean is because those animals are so stressed they don't even let. Like they allow the piglets to nurse. I think they have. Like, they have the pigs on grates and the piglets are underneath because the pigs are big and they'll crush their piglets. So the piglets are actually underneath so that they can nurse, but they don't get to, like, you know, snuggle up to mom or anything like that.
Speaker 2:Well, those animals are so stressed that you know they have to do all this disinfecting and everything because they're going to get, you know, they're going to get. Parasites show up when the animals are stressed and they're not in a natural environment. You take a pig outside. We've got a family we know that raises. You know forested pigs and you drive by their place and the pigs are out in their little pens, out in the woods all around the mud. You know it's that's what pigs do fight part from them. And right, it's delicious and it's wonderful and you know I would feed it to a pet, I I don't personally care for raw pork so I've never eaten it raw, but I don't think it would be dangerous, right okay, you wouldn't know the truth, though.
Speaker 1:I love raw hamburger meat. I love it, yeah, yeah, and I will eat it raw and put salt on it, and I'll eat it raw and I eat raw bacon sometimes because my dad used to raw bacon now, I've never tried that yeah and fatty, but but good fat right, yeah, good fat yeah we buy good quality stuff, no sugar, any of that stuff yeah.
Speaker 1:So people will be like, oh, so great. So I guess for me, I look at, you know, the farmer's dog. I look at all these different concocted, balanced meals out there for animals and I'm like this is a bunch of caca, it's a story, it's a dogma, it's a way to sell product. How do we, as humans, even live for very many years? Because we're not really balancing our food, dr jacek. I mean, we're not keeping spreadsheets on how we are balancing out all of our magnesium and our folic acid and you know all of stuff.
Speaker 2:All you got to do is just take that multivitamin every day.
Speaker 1:There it is, there it is.
Speaker 2:Take the multivitamin and that's what they teach people about pets is if you just put the, you know, or just put the multivitamin in the food and then you don't have to worry about it. It's all a bunch of synthetic chemicals that they're eating but and it doesn't mean it's healthy. But it makes pet parents feel better because they got all those chemicals on the bag that they can't pronounce and that makes them feel like they're giving their pet something nutritious.
Speaker 1:So when you use a balancing formulator, you're looking at food. You're not looking at the pet. You're looking at food. And yeah, so is it true that if you fed said food that was supposedly void of said nutrition, and you fed that for its entire life, how does that show up in the pet? I don't know. Have we done those studies? I don't know?
Speaker 2:and how do they know how much of each of those nutrients that a pet needs, because it could be different for every pet too. Some pets might need more than others. That's why, if you do the rotation and the different organs and I think where people do get into trouble with raw, you know it's like you said well, they go to the butcher and they're getting some meat, maybe some organs, and they got runny poops. Well, they're not feeding any bone. You know, if they're not balancing it and they're not rotating it, it isn't going to be nutritious. But if you're adding in, you know, some fish and some egg and you're rotating the different proteins and all the different organs, including the brains and the eyes and anything you can, you know, get, get your hands on, I mean, are the wolves out there.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's get out the spreadsheet. Last week we had an elk. Now, let's see that's going to make me a little deficient, and let's see, a little deficient in zinc. So maybe we better go catch some salmon this week, otherwise we're going to be out of balance.
Speaker 1:And when you say balance it, what you mean is let's put variety. That's all it really means. It's like yeah, that's variety, a lot of variety. Okay, so I, I get it. That big pet food has really convinced pet parents. As long as you feed this same food, you're not going to have any digestive issues. So, right, there's that fear of like you're not going to have any digestive issues. So there's that fear of like, oh, I'm going to throw my dog out of whack and they're going to have diarrhea. And I tell pet parents this all the time. Diarrhea is pretty easy to fix without medication, unless it's just like you know, a super runny red and you're squirting it out the sphincter.
Speaker 2:It's. For me it's like it's super easy to fix, you know, unless the gut's been really really badly damaged with like too many medications and stuff. But then you know, we know there's a reason for it and the gut needs a little, a little extra help. But it can still be fixed and it's not because of the food can still be fixed, and it's not because of the food, I think.
Speaker 1:I think what worries you and I about these type of situations, where pet parents want to manage all of these different nutrients, is typically what happens is you concentrate on one at the detriment of another or many others, and then you're in this catch 22. And so people are like well, what's the solution? The solution is to feed them varied proteins, organs and bones, and you can either do that yourself, which is extremely time consuming, or you can buy those already made right. And I would say you know, you've got the pick of turkey and beef and chicken and duck and lamb, you know. And pork salmon, you've got. We've got at Raw Dog Food and Company, we've got. We've got, uh, at raw dog food and company. You, we've got pork brains, we've got duck feet, chicken feet, uh, turkey hearts, chicken hearts I'm talking about the pieces now uh and the organ and the organ blends, which makes it really easy because I love to add an extra organ.
Speaker 2:it's just so easy, got the blend all and the variety. That's when people say, oh, I really want to do it on my own. I'm like, okay, well, find out where you can get spleen and kidney and lung and heart and liver. And when you can find all those organs, then you know, we'll talk about putting together. Oh yeah, and how are you going to grind up the bone? And, you know, put the bone in there. Because what a lot of people think is what we were talking about last week in the food pyramid. People extrapolate what's been said for many years about humans to pets. Oh, we'll just add some rice and some veggies in with the chicken and then that's a balanced diet because that's what I'm supposed to eat, so must be good, right, Like no, no, it's really really hard to balance it out and do it properly.
Speaker 2:And the other thing is fats. I used to test a lot for vitamin D and I found a lot of dogs were low vitamin D. How can you question the testing a bit? Is that another just money-making thing? There's companies that just keep coming out with more and more and more and more and more tests. I'm not saying that this is the case, but is there a? You know how accurate are the tests and how do we know what's the level that a pet needs?
Speaker 2:But if you take something like vitamin D, well, it's a fat soluble vitamin. Where do you find it In the fat? What are people afraid of feeding? Probably more than anything the fat, because it's going to cause pancreatitis. And there's all this stuff about oh, you can't feed, you can't feed fat. So why don't we just start adding some extra fat in, not worry about, you know, doing all the testing, because you're going to be getting your fat soluble vitamins Plus. You want those fat soluble vitamins.
Speaker 2:Nutrients are meant to be ingested together because they work synergistically in the body. So if you're just supplementing one, you could be throwing off that balance, especially if they're getting enough of some of them naturally and then you're throwing in a synthetic, how do you know they're going to play nice together in your pet's body? You know you don't just feed them fat. Get some calories, some lard. You know the lady that we know that raises pork. She makes lard soap. So I got lard soap from her. It's wonderful. It's like creamy and it doesn't dry out your skin and there's a little lavender in it?
Speaker 1:Where does she get that from her pigs? Is it pig lard? Yeah, yeah, wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, cause I've been using tallow soap. I really really sensitive skin, I mean, and I'm just really even like natural soaps and stuff like my skin will get irritated, and so I've been using tallow soap and then she told me she was making soap uh, rillard and I'm like no, she has.
Speaker 1:When she processes her pig, she has it in the lard, made into, made into soap you know what I I think you could do with those bacon strips that you eat the raw bacon strips, you just put them on your face just put them on my face before I eat them and they're like what are you doing? I'm doing a. I'm doing a facial a bacon facial the new spa.
Speaker 2:You know where.
Speaker 1:Ladies are laying there with strips of bacon on their face and then you go home and your husband's like man you smell good, I'm hungry, so hungry.
Speaker 2:What's that new perfume man?
Speaker 1:gosh, I know, yeah, but but you know, I guess, dr jaycey, if, if, if, businesses want to grow, they got to invent things to sell you right? Because just, I've just come to believe that the more simple it is, the less that people want to really do it. Now that seems backwards, you know, but honestly, what we see is people like to make it hard on themselves Because it just it's like, well, that can't be all there is to it, that can't really work, that can't be this easy to feed raw.
Speaker 2:Well, you know we've talked about health is the natural state of the body. You don't, we don't create health. You know people want to believe I got to make my pet healthy or I got to make myself healthy. Health is a natural state.
Speaker 2:The question is, what is interfering with our pet's health and what do we have to change so that they can go back to their natural state? That's like if I have a new patient come in and they're on a whole bunch of supplements I had a case like this today. I'm like dog was presenting with some really odd symptoms and it was on an exorbitant amount of supplements, but several, and they all had multiple ingredients. I'm like we just got to get down to basics and let's just focus on the diet, like just for two weeks, just stop everything. And let's just focus on the diet. Like just for two weeks, just stop everything and let's just focus on the really good nutrition. And we see what happens, cause I want to see what. What's your pet's body going to tell us when we do that? Cause you just don't know, even if they're good quality supplements, they could be sensitive to something. Ingredients could be interacting. Nobody knows how all these different ingredients could interact with each other.
Speaker 2:And maybe we're just given too much stuff and the body just is working too hard, you know, to to process it. So I think we do have to sometimes take a step back and just get down to basics and then see what we notice. And then you know there's always more stuff we can do. But I think it's very easy for people to go down the rabbit hole of, you know, searching online for supplements for whatever the the diagnosis is, and then they want to, they want to do something. So they just start ordering all kinds of stuff and there's plenty of stuff out there for them to, for them to order to treat their. They probably order hundreds of supplements to treat something like cancer, but then, you know, but then they don't have success and then they're a little hesitant to like stop all the stuff. So yeah, I actually think health is quite simple.
Speaker 2:We feed an appropriate diet and we don't give them toxins. We're kind of most of the way there. It's just we have sometimes, you know, historically I mean, I've heard people say on the human side that one round of antibiotics and it can take six to 12 months for the gut to heal. So these pets that have had round after round after round, their guts are going to be damaged for a while. They might always have. Their guts might always be a little more sensitive, so they might need a little extra support getting, you know, transition to a raw diet. But you know, disease is caused by toxicity. I mean, that's what I still contend that it's the poisons that we put in their body that makes them sick. It's not the raw food and it's, you know, emotional toxicity. You know the house. You know we're talking about the emotional part. Do they have the right lifestyle? You know, are they getting out for exercise? Know we're talking about the emotional part. Do they have the right lifestyle?
Speaker 2:You know, are they getting out for exercise and walks and getting their feet on the ground and and all that stuff that's important for pets just like it is for us.
Speaker 1:I was talking with a nurse, a male nurse actually, he was a doctor and and I said, how is it that mentally to to work for a place like mayo right, where you see so many cancers, so many different cancers? I said, does that ever play with your head like you're just afraid because you see all these different cancers? And he said you know, when you're going through school, and he and he and he and he had a word for it, he was like half truths or half knowledge, something like that. And he said you look at it and you go oh my gosh, you know, I've got that, I've got that symptom, I've got this symptom, I've got that symptom. And he said and you can scare yourself to death, right. And and he said, but the more you're around it, the more knowledge. You said, there, there are definitely some signs, right, he said, but here's the thing, there are things that are in our control. And he said diet. He's the first person I've heard talk about it. He said diet is in our control.
Speaker 1:Now he was more on the PT side where he his sort of specialty was vestibular um, neurological things for people who had strokes and all this kind of stuff. But I was so shocked that he said it. He was like no kidding, you know, but but I don't know if he talks to his patients about it. He was saying for himself. He said I'm going to do all the things that I know can give you a leg up. He said diet, exercise, sleep and your mental outlook. And you know, he didn't go as far as saying, you know, like we say, don't put toxins in your body. But it was pretty interesting that he said that.
Speaker 2:I was like wow somebody actually said that Will we eat actually affects our health.
Speaker 1:Do you know what I mean? I there are. There are nutritionists within cancer clinics. However, I've talked about it on this podcast before some of the information that they espouse when I've asked for the actual studies for that, like, do you have a study for that? You know, like you can't eat raw food and vegetables or any type of sushi if you're a cancer patient because that could cause you to get some type of bacteria. And I'm like what, what you know? First of all, I told you that. I said what, what bacteria are we talking about? Told you that is. I said what, what bacteria are we talking about? The top three e-coli, listeria and salmonella? I said, well, so if you're sick or you have cancer, you can't cook your own food anymore. Is that what you're saying? You know, because you can't touch it. And I'm like, oh, where's I? I'm never. I mean, is there a study? And they will say this stuff without any kind of Studies that go with that.
Speaker 2:Right, Because it's the, it's the, it's the popular narrative, it's what everybody says Don't, don't touch the raw food. And yeah, how do you the raw food? And yeah, how do you even bring food into your house, like you said. Oh, so you can't ever cook your own food, or somebody's not there to cook your own food or cook your food for you. Like it doesn't even make any sense. No, but then they'll push the insure or the, this other stuff that's just got high fructose corn syrup.
Speaker 1:That's okay. They were very it was very funny. They were offended that we would make our own food from real food instead of choosing the chemical laden, approved cancer you know foods that were very offend and and wanted to. You know, do you? Are you getting the right calories? Are you getting the right this? Are you getting the right? I'm certain that it's better than your chemical stuff. And, by the way, why do you sell this chemical stuff? Because this is what insurance approves of. And when I finally I've said this before when I said why won't insurance approve a real food diet, not chemical diet, especially for cancer patients? And they said it's all about money. Yeah, but at least she said it and she acknowledged it. What was so offensive to me are the folks that don't question it and yet question you because you want to do something healthier. It was very strange. I was like why would you, why would you want to look over my shoulder and check it's real food?
Speaker 2:Right, right. How can that be bad? How can that be unhealthy as compared to all the, you know, chemical stuff? Yeah, I bet all those companies are just all in cahoots. You know there's like big companies that you know own the insurance companies and and the people making the insurer or whatever making all that food. You know, it's all just probably one big corporate conglomerate and they're just feeding off of each other yeah, I even heard um, I, I, and I'm pretty sure that this has been studied.
Speaker 1:One of the nutritionists said don't worry about. Basically, the dogma was you just need the calories, don't worry about if it's coming from a milkshake. Because this was what they said Sugar doesn't feed cancer. I said how is it then that in some cancer places the more holistic ones they want to bring your blood sugar level down right before they give you a chemo blast, because there's a certain? They want those cells that uptake the glucose to be hungry and then take up the chemo, right, and supposedly kill them.
Speaker 1:So I'm like, which is it? Is it that? Is it that that's all bullshit, or this is all bullshit? Which side is the sphincter on? You know, I'm just like come on, so what'd they say? You know what? They always divert the conversation and give you an answer Right. And when you're in there with somebody who's not feeling well, the last thing you want to do is start a fight with your doctor, right? You want them on your side. Yeah, you, you just like waiters, right? So you don't want to start a fight with somebody who's in the back preparing your food.
Speaker 1:I promise you that you know what they're going to do to that food before they bring it right, bring it out right but but I just you know, I've learned to kind of which is not my nature, dr Jacey to gently ask the question, go kind of under the radar to see what the answer is going to be. So it's all. It's all very confusing, but one thing that isn't confusing and I just don't know if any of you listening can argue, argue with this statement, then send it to us. We'd love to hear it. Real food is not dangerous, okay, especially now.
Speaker 1:Let me let me preface this okay in a variety, in, in, in combination, right? So I wouldn't say all you can eat is liver for the rest of your life and be fine. That's not what I'm saying, right? What I'm saying is that in any diet, I don't eat the same thing every single day. Even if I'm on one of these carnivore diets or paleo diets or whatever, there's still going to be variety in there, different meats. I'm just not going to eat bacon every day, right, I wouldn't eat bacon every day, but I might eat ramen a lot. But anyway, I'm just saying a variety, variety, variety of stuff and real food. You're going to be way ahead of the game, uh, for you and your pets. Drop the processed foods and, trust me, there's so much of it out there that you'll be like I don't know what I can eat if I, you know, drop the processed foods, because most of the aisle in the grocery store, most of the aisles are processed foods, yep, yep, most of them are.
Speaker 2:You have to eat things that don't have labels.
Speaker 2:And you know even the I watched a podcast on the whole organic industry and I figured that a part of that was kind of a farce, that they're not really watching that closely. So organic food at the grocery store, you know, may not be truly organic or they can spray things on them prior to shipment and all this stuff Probably still better than buying conventional food. But at least eating real food is better than buying something that you know you take out of a box and add boiling water and have your instant dinner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly Exactly. Have your instant dinner? Yeah, exactly, exactly. So it's just, it's just. We just need to not be so afraid to give our pets variety and raw right. This is the thing. Don't be so afraid. And if you are afraid, I would encourage you to ask the questions why, right? Why am I so afraid to feed pork? You know what? Where? Where did this narrative come from? Where is it really an issue? When has it been an issue? How was it tested? How, how was that? You know, those two things come together right, and it's these little people. I think I remember you saying this, dr Jasek. Didn't you say let me ask you, if you said this if your dog is going to get worms from eating a raw diet, it would have to be because a dog with worms pooped on your dog's food and then your dog ate it. Was that right?
Speaker 2:I did say that I think I did say that Right, because parasites are species specific for the most part, so they're not going to get a parasite. If there was some kind of parasite living in the meat it's going to likely just pass right through the dog. But if a dog with parasites pooped on the raw food and the dog ate it, then you know it could get it from the other dog. So, yes, I do believe I said that.
Speaker 1:You know, there is no way that Lazi is going to let any dog poop on her food. She eats it so fast that it couldn't even get in a squat position before her food be gone. I'm just saying you know right?
Speaker 2:plus she's probably a little more discriminating than that. It's like don't poop on my food she's funny.
Speaker 1:She carries her toy right and I say toy it's, it's one of the grappies, it's a. You know, they're, uh, they're, they're material, they're in a ball form and they have a little handle and you throw them. They're for training purposes, but she loves those and we have all different sizes and she'll grab one. Here's like, okay, we're going for right, let me grab one. And typically it's not something that we like to let her carry one of those all the time, but because we do here, because she loves to eat the duck poop. So if she has her toys she won't eat the duck poop. But what she does is that she'll carry her toy and then she's got to poop. So she puts the toy down and then she poops very close to where the toy is and then she's like I'm not picking that toy. She does that and I have to kick it and then she'll go get it.
Speaker 2:She's like can you, can you like scoot it away it smells over there like would you please pick up my poop so I can get my toy Right. They got it made, don't they? We put food in their bowls. Pick up their poop, buy them toys Like oh, it's got it made.
Speaker 1:Rub their bellies Right, except for those that are in cages all day long and they don't have it made.
Speaker 2:No, that's not good, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's just, it's the wonderful pet parents that make it wonderful for their dogs. You know, and that's hopefully that's the majority I cannot I cannot, dr jaycey, watch those commercials where they're like these dogs don't know where their next meal is coming from. So we ask you to donate.
Speaker 2:I'm just like turning I know I can't watch those either. It's it's heartbreaking and I know that's like a reality. I know that's out there, but yeah, I that that is just horrific.
Speaker 1:Oh, and God bless those people who go out there and rescue those dogs. You know and I can see. I can certainly see where that could turn out to be a hoarding type situation, because I would be one of those people. I'd be like, nope, I don't trust anybody to have this dog right I don't want them to ever be in that situation.
Speaker 2:You know they're running out of space and they gotta euthanize some of them right, and they just because they don't have the room you know, wait, wait, a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 1:wasn't that what they were trying to do to us running, running out of room? We got to euthanize some of y'all.
Speaker 2:I think they still are. I think they still are.
Speaker 1:Oh, I heard today this is true fact. I was calling Walgreens. On the recording it said people over the age of something, I don't know. I think they said 50. I can't remember the exact age, but they were like are more susceptible to the COVID disease, so you can come and get your boosters today. I was like are you serious? Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Are you still on that train? Yeah, I wonder if people still actually get those boosters.
Speaker 1:I'm sure, I'm sure they probably do.
Speaker 2:The doctor recommends it yeah, oh, I was just like what and and, while you're at it, get your flu shot and your shingle shot and your pneumonia shot and pneumococca.
Speaker 1:What is it called pneumococcus? Yeah, give me the caca shot. All right, everybody listen. You could work with dr judy jasic. Uh, why? Because you get a second opinion that is very broad, very wide in wide, in depth and very deep in the knowledge of what's going on in the world, how vets are trained, how they sell products, you know what's really good for the, what's necessary. I think the money that you save people right by saying this is really not necessary, right Makes raw food much more affordable if you stop doing all the other stuff that is actually poisoning your pet.
Speaker 1:Put that money towards raw food, probably saving money right, right and uh, you know, get over to dr jc. You can find her team at a h a vetcom. A h a vetcom. A second opinion whether that's going to be on cancer, removing lipomas, gut issues, the all encompassing. My dog has allergy issues.
Speaker 2:Or even just even just wellness. We actually got a little like April wellness special. So instead of running into your vet for the wellness checkup where they're just going to sell you on a bunch of poisons, you can come talk to us and we can tell you how to get to keep your pet healthy, naturally, without doing all that stuff so that's fantastic.
Speaker 1:70, 70 bucks. I like it, I, I, I didn't even know. So we just announced something right now a true wellness. See, this is. This is great. That's, that's amazing. I love that. I love that. Um, get over there. And, uh, you won't be putting toxins in your dog's body. After that wellness checkup I can tell you, okay, nope, nope, uh, all right, get over to raw dog food and companycom. Listen.
Speaker 1:Every wednesday night, uh, and now it's four o'clock for mountain time to midnight. We have a sale and we have a big sale. And I'm talking we have food, we have bones, we have treats, uh, we have supplements dr jace's favorite. So we have them all and they go on sale on Wednesday nights. And we do this why? Because we don't really have the all you know, like the rewards program. We don't have the buy this much and you get this much off.
Speaker 1:So we made it super simple, because I think what people don't really understand is that cuts into your profits, because all of those companies do take a portion of your sales, and so companies have to build that back in. So we said how can we make raw food fair and affordable across the board, whether you have five, you know 75 pound dogs or five 10 pound dogs, right, and so, anyway, we do this on Wednesday from four to midnight. So you want to get over to raw dog food and company? I can't believe. Yeah, I'm not even going to say that. Anyway, raw dog food and companycom, where your pet's health is our business, and what Dr Jasek?
Speaker 2:Friends, don't let friends feed, kibble y'all, that's right.
Speaker 1:We'll see you next week, everybody, if you have a question, shoot it over to us and we will answer right here. See you then, bye Bye.
