The first vet I took my new fur baby too told me to feed science diet, Purina or royal canine. 😮 I told them “so chicken meal is healthy and best for my dog?” Who pays these vets to promote these brands?!? Also immediately put my pup on heart worms meds and flea and tick meds at 12 weeks old. So thankful for these videos. I’m implementing Raw along with homemade treats and learning as I go. Also flea and tick meds are out for me.
This was such an informative discussion. My dog suffered the first year of her life on kibble. Once I did some research and came across Dr. Judy Morgan I began transitioning her to a home-cooked diet. She's going to be 4 this year & thriving!
Ok I’m just gonna throw this out there. When I gotten my puppy he has been sneezing violently and huffing and puffing. I didn’t know what it was and I fed him high quality kibble. So once I made the switch to homemade food he doesn’t do the violent sneezing anymore. He’s been great ever since.
My GSD has EPI. I had to diagnose her and ask my vet for the proper tests to confirm. My vet didn't know what to do to treat her. He gave me vegetable based enzymes, that didn't work. I went into research mode and figured it out for myself. Pork based digestive enzymes was the right treatment. 3 years later my girl is doing well with minimal issues. Moral of the story is veterans, just like human doctors have a license to "practice" medicine. It doesn't mean they know everything. Know that knowing your pet and your love for them will guide you to do the right thing for them. Thank you for this video keep spreading the word about the greed that plagues all our food and drug industry. ❤️✌️
thanks, Rachel. I cook my dogs' food because no commercial dog food is organic, raw or cooked, and most of them add toxic synthetic vitamins and minerals. I add Four Leaf Rover's supplements, and as a multi, I use Venjenz's Rampart which uses whole food vitamins and minerals. Kibble is an obscenity. Even the Farmer's Dog is full of added synthetics
This has been great! Yes, please, more of Dr. Brady! I just switched both my dogs to raw from another book and then found his book while looking for more information!
I already love listening to Dr Brady , I do not have a dog at this time my sweet yellow lab is been gone 6 yrs. Now I’m retired and am planning on a new pup sometime soon as I can, but meanwhile I’m just seeking info I came upon your video and I’m amazed and need to learn more . My lab ate kibble all her life she lived to 15 but she did get beef bones which she loved. But with new dog soon I’m so open to new ways to raise her . Thank you Cricket
Something came over me to make the switch to gently cooked or raw dog food. I have no excuse I’m retired. And with the toppings I put over their food, I may as well make the whole meal. So now I’m looking at videos and doing research. I have always appreciated Rachel for her videos on dogs they are so helpful. But now since I’m looking into this important subject your content is invaluable. Thank you so much, you are so knowledgeable and helpful and your expert guests put you over the top, you’re simply the best! And even saying that doesn’t seem like enough.
This has been so interesting! The last few years have been so eye opening as to who to take health advice from - for my family and now also for my dog! Thanks. I’ve learned a lot from you and your guests!
Rachel we switched from kibble (no more) to The Farmers Dog and my Maggie (Cockapoo) is loving every meal! She is 10 months old and starting out eating healthy! Loving Icelandic Lamb Horns for her teeth and Herring snacks too! Thanks for super info!
Great video and discussion! It's so important to make informed decisions about what we feed our furry friends. The insights from Dr. Brady were really helpful and informative. I also appreciate the variety of questions and topics that were covered. Looking forward to more content like this on your channel.
Bless you Rachel and Dr. Brady for this informative video, me and my girlfriend have had arguments and damn near volatile fights over this RAW diet for our dogs, she insist on the kibble and thinks they will contract listeria and salmonella etc. I will have her watch this video to debunk all of her myths.
WOWZA Fantastic❣❣❣❣ Discussion so much information! I'm trying to figure out how to feed my ZooCrew RAW cost is definitely the issue. I have 2 60 lb 1 1\2 yr old Labradoodles, 1 7 month old Great Dane puppy, 1 14 week old Shih Tzu puppy, 1 7 1/2 yr old petite German Shepherd and 1 17 yr old miniature Dachshund. Plus 3 cats so it's a big crew to try to feed RAW to. I do add toppers as in RAW meats, eggs, Veggies & sardines.
I'd love to see and hear more from Dr. Brady! He's very informative, charismatic and direct about the true science and biology of dogs! Thanks for this informative and interesting video!
Please invite Dr Brady back. Any time. He’s great and a hoot. I follow Raw Pet Medics, and Tuesday nights- that’s what I do. Too short, though. Thank you for all your content & tips also Rachel, I drank Dr Billinghurst’s “kool-aid” 12 years ago. Have 3 cockapoos, all raw fed. I gradually learned about kibble “the long way,” from a chicken plant process that extracts what later becomes pet food from the machine where the remains of carcasses and offal are processed I irreverently named it the “chicken cuisinart” thank M
I love this talk, thank you! I just wanted to ask what to feed a lactating dog. I keep seeing recommendations to feed them more carbohydrates for the sake of puppy growth. My dog is fed a high protein high fat diet, and I’m wondering if I should just feed her more of her diet (more calories but not more carbohydrates) when she’s lactating, or if I should make an exception and increase her carbohydrate consumption during lactation.
I would feed her more of what you're already feeding her. Maybe throw in some vegetables for some variety but that would be the only carbs I would add.
Hi Rachel.Yes! Yes! Yes! More Dr Brady, please. I am a fairly recent subscriber to your channel. Found you by accident via a podcast with Dr. Andrew Brown (Veterinary Secrets) He & Dr. Karen Becker are 2 veterinarians I have massive respect for whom I subscribe to & follow both here on TH-cam. I have yet to watch anything you've put out on this platform which I haven't enjoyed, but this has been my favourite so far. by far. I'd love to see Dr. Brady back here with you. He speaks so well with such passion, is so open honest & down to earth. Excellent stuff. I'm now off to order his book, Feeding Dogs. A massive thank you to both for this. From Bonnie Baltic Scotland. I'm a pet mum to 2 gorgeous real-food girls. Millie, my Working English Springer Spaniel (rescued when 5.5 months) now age 13. And Jura, my pocket rocket Working Cocker Spaniel (proudly inherited when 7 years old) now age 10.
Thanks so much for this video. Can someone help me with this: I forgot how this works, but the OC frozen patties have 16% protein, 74% moisture-does that mean it’s too low protein content or does the moisture negate that?
I love him and you. I want to hear more. I want to change from carna4 to a meat diet. I think i would prefer to do lightly cooked. Is it ok to freeze and defrost to feed him?
That cheerio analogy is hilarious, but a great way to drive the point home that our vets aren't trying to intentionally hurt our animals, it's a symptom of the root cause, proper animal nutrition education.
8:20 ish: Processed Food for Pets is made with euthanized, other Pets--; all-killed using the same drug--; which then remains in whatever part of their"meat--;" that your still-living dog or cat now gets to eat--. If your dog manages to get a hold of the whole bag and decides to feast, that might be dangerous.
hi i absolutely enjoy watching your videos a big thankyou i have a 14 year old female stumpy tail blue heeler, she had a mammary tumour removed 2.5 weeks ago which is malignant, i did not know that her dry food was 40% carbs, i have taken her off it, what do i feed her cooked white meats or raw, im not sure what to feed her, do i keep her off red meat, do i continue to feed raw thankyou
my vet just "yelled" at me for feeding my now senior dog a high protein diet. they said that it will lead to kidney issues. & strongly urged me to change her to hills, royal canine or purina senior dog food. though I did go out and buy a bag of it .... I just can't get myself to believe that those foods would be better for her then a more raw / freeze dried diet (even though its higher in protein). is there validity to high protein diets = kidney disease / failure ??????
Thank you so much for this! So much I just learned, and so many things are going to change! I always wonder what alternatives there are and this was very helpful. I also have a 6 lb. dog, and am terrified to even just get a rabies vaccine, makes no sense that we give the same dose for 4 to 160 lb. dogs!
Would like to know about a seven-year-old dog who's been on kibble only how can you start them on raw food I've heard of pancreas problems with too much protein???
My dogs have had pancreatitis in the past when they were on kibble. I transitioned them to gently cooked and also give them raw. I would suggest trying a gently cooked commercial diet or a freeze dried diet first. Pancreatitis has no official known cause…even vets don’t know in every instance what causes it. However a lot of times it can be caused by stress & inflammation in the body, cooked rancid fats, and too many carbohydrates (ie kibble is high in carbs). I transitioned my dogs to fresh Whole Foods and they have never looked or felt better. When you know what’s in kibble and how it’s made, then human grade fresh food is so much better. Traditional vets have been taught that kibble is better than other options out there but that’s because the vet schools actually get $ from the big kibble companies to promote kibble. I use several different brands and mix up their proteins and even my older dogs don’t have GI problems now when they really had a rough time on kibble.
My dog won’t touch kibble. He only likes home cooked food. He’ll eat a bit of raw now and then, but he prefers cooked food. I worry about getting his diet nicely balanced though. He’s very picky. Not sure why people want to turn their cats and dogs veggie, I’ve been veggie over 27years, and I hand feed my dog meats and everything 😂.
Okay, this veterinarian makes sense to me. I am so worried about my dog not getting the proper nutrition from a raw diet, but I don’t need her to get every bit of her nutrition from each meal. I can add different things as I go and not worry too much about it. As I learn, I can add new things to her diet. This gives me the courage to get started. I need my first recipe.
54... Yes, a new sub here. More Dr. Brady..... Just got a 10 month old all white GSD, wanna start her on real food. Love the info. Nalah barks thanx too 🙏
Definitely would love to see Dr Brady again and give a talk about gut flora support. Also, it would be great hear his thoughts on new push to feed alternative protein source- I'm referring to insects dog food. I feel that we need to be proactive and learn more about now, because the movement to cut meat production is already very strong in human food chain, so it will become even stronger in petfood. We would like to believe that we are in charge of what we feed our pets and ourselves as well, but we all can see that certain, mega corporations purchasing farm land and food production, especially in US. Small farms and butchers are being pushed out of business. With high inflation most people cannot afford to purchase good quality meat for themselves, much less for their pets. Premade complete and grinds went up through the roof since last year. Big corporations already manipulate what we read, listen, how we vote and now they manipulate what we eat. Thank you Rachel for great content and having Dr Brady.
Hate to break it to you, but this isn’t just a problem for pet parents, but for people parents too. Humans don’t need near as many carbs in their diet as doctors lead you to believe. That silly food pyramid ought to be tipped upside down!! If you’re buying anything these two are saying, then definitely look into the proper human diet, because believe me, meat heals. And doctors don’t want you to know that. Anyway, I’m here watching this channel because I’m wanting to get my dogs on a raw diet. I have seen what a carnivore diet can do for people, and I definitely believe that dogs need a lot more meat than what is recommended. Thanks for the video.❤ love your guest, he seems like he has his head screwed on straight.
To be blunt, that’s a lazy and presumptuous argument. You don’t speak for all pet parents and you certainly don’t speak for those who simply don’t know there are other alternative options out there. Actually freeze dried, dehydrated, air dried, etc are as convenient as kibble and they’re much better for the dogs/cats. Most people who spend a lot on kibble think it’s good for their animals and they even look for the best kibble they can afford. Same for prescription diets. The consumers are tricked into thinking this stuff is healthy and necessary, and they’re never given better alternative options. There are so many new brands that offer a variety of proteins and have all differing price ranges so you can find one that’s affordable for you. There are even some brands like Green Juju that use organ meats and balance with Whole Foods instead of synthetic vitamins. Companies are really taking into account how busy people are and they’re trying to accommodate those people with convenient AND healthy alternatives to kibble. Most of these other options only require adding a little water to rehydrate. Most people add water on top of kibble anyway. If people knew what was really in kibble or how it was made and what happens to it as it sits in the bag…or how often they get recalled for making people and dogs/cats sick, then I’m sure many of them would dedicate a few more seconds or minutes to feeding their dogs something healthier than simply dumping toxic kibble into a bowl. Convenience is really just an excuse…& it’s the argument pushed by the big kibble companies, so you’re basically propagating their propaganda for them.
I agree. I work 60 hours a week and and have 4 kids our animals eat a raw homemade diet yes it takes a little time and a lot of research but you can't tell me it's not worth it .
This is a bit of a closed-minded argument, many disabled people can't feed raw for a variety of reasons. Raw food takes a lot of time to prepare, including measuring out portions and cleaning surfaces before and after. I'm not able to stand up long enough to do all of this, even if it's just for one meal. On bad days, I can just about manage to do my dogs' dry food before needing to sit back down. My kitchen is far too small to use a chair in there and there's no chance I'm letting raw food go anywhere near the rest of my house. Costs also come into play. It's less about convenience and more about what I'm physically capable of doing everyday.
He mentioned rice in the first half of the video sorry I don't remember the exact time, but basically rice is just sugar. Not necessary for dogs, it's just used as a filler
So loved this video. Totally believe in going back to the the good old days. Both people and domestic animals were healthier. Amber waves of grain. Back then wheat was tall. Today, wheat is a fraction of the height. How did they manage making wheat into a short plant? GMO. Our plant food does not resemble any of the real food plants from back in the day
I put pure Scottish salmon oil on my dog kibble. I wish I could afford full raw but times are tight. I will try adding an egg now and again tho. Glad I found this video. 3 months ago my dog started itching and almost scraped all his back fur off on the side of his crate. He's regularly flea, tick and wormed. I could find no reason for his itching. His fur has now grown back but he's still itching and dull fur. Vets say feed a better food... that we just happen to sell here!
I have a rescue Dutch Shepard who is almost !0 years old and her energy level is that of a two year old. I feed her less than 2 cups grain free kibble per day (Morning/Night) with Tbs Ground Flax and two small baby carrots. Every other day Raw Beef liver or Salmon. Every other day one raw Bone with marrow. She's only had one rabies shot since I"ve had her 5yrs. and only 3 vet visits. Dog parks are a big NO. Thanks for all the info. I've subscribed and will be watching more.
I've been seeing newer food that is made from insects. Some people feed their dogs or cats this who have allergies. What do you think of this type of food? I've seen kibble formulas and wet food formulas.
There are so many options on the market now. If you ask the customer service reps at different companies then they should be able to tell you what is suitable to eat in most cases. I recently called a couple of brands and they went over the ingredient lists with me to find the best options. The smaller brands really seem to care about providing customers with good info to help our pets.
A chap on TH-cam who always fed raw has recently reluctantly changed his mind because 2 of his dogs have developed kidney problems, which the vets put down to his raw diet. Are u guys aware of any link between raw and kidney disease? And with regards to home cooked food, what would you recommend? To include any carbs or not?
There are several causes of kidney disease and not necessarily attributed to diet. Were the vets conventional vets because I doubt a holistic vet would automatically attribute it to food. Kidney disease can come from heart disease, high blood pressure, exposure to chemicals, genetics, etc…so I would hope he would investigate further on his own or find another vet for a second opinion. There have been dogs on Rx kidney diets that have died from malnutrition so I hope he didn’t switch from raw/cooked to something like that. My own dog has a form of kidney disease that is secondary to his heart disease that was recently diagnosed. There are plenty of causes completely unrelated to diet
Love listening so interesting not finished yet but I have one question Why is raw food better ? Can we cook the meats first. I’m happy feeding raw and do but why is raw the best when the same stuff could all be cooked first.
You can cook raw but you lose some of the beneficial aspects like the natural enzymes in raw food. I actually give my dogs a mix of raw and gently cooked. There are brands that tell you how to safely gently cook their food (AllProvide, Viva Raw, Darwin’s) or you can get already gently cooked meals (Raised Right, AllProvide). Freeze dried is also a good option. It isn’t highly processed like kibble. All you have to do is add water, bone broth, etc to rehydrate the dried raw food. Also raw is how dogs and cats eat prey in the wild. Gently cooked does slightly change the food but not that much. If your dogs prefer cooked, as many do, then that’s still a great option. Some dogs also digest gently cooked better. As long as it is human grade food with few or no synthetic additives, then you should be fine
“Cheerios is *the best*! I went to Cheerios University in Cheerios Land.” -Doc Brady 💀😂 I swear this doctor is a riot. Could listen to him for hours. Yes, that about sums up the industry. I’m going FFF! ❤ (Fresh Food Forever)
Yes more from Dr Brady.will get his book. He is right about FEAR. We listen to experts with facts “ And nothing to backup. Yes I was afraid of feeding raw food. Now I know better. Thanks. In Jesus name we pray amen.. God bless America and the world.
I started a high fat carnivore diet and felt so much better that I put my German Shepherd on it too. I'm not rich and don't buy the real expensive meat. Meat, eggs, fish and lard, no seed or vegetable oils.
I feed our dog ground beef, an egg, a little bit of homemade yoghurt, few berries, few boiled carrots and fish oil. The fella is amazingly playful yet very, very calm. I think kibble f***cks with their irritability a lot, if more than anything.
I feed mine 50/50 currently as I can't quite afford 100% as of now, her health has dramatically improved I also stopped the tick and flea prev and opted for holistic solutions as well as daily checks in tick season, I can see she's clearing up in her ears and got shiner coat as well as a lot more energy 🥰
The first vet I took my new fur baby too told me to feed science diet, Purina or royal canine. 😮 I told them “so chicken meal is healthy and best for my dog?” Who pays these vets to promote these brands?!? Also immediately put my pup on heart worms meds and flea and tick meds at 12 weeks old. So thankful for these videos. I’m implementing Raw along with homemade treats and learning as I go. Also flea and tick meds are out for me.
The brands fund them to promote that kibble
Most vets are just npcs.
This was such an informative discussion. My dog suffered the first year of her life on kibble. Once I did some research and came across Dr. Judy Morgan I began transitioning her to a home-cooked diet. She's going to be 4 this year & thriving!
Hi, Can you share your recipe ..😊
@@mariamaciel9028 Dr Judy has a book called Yin and Yang where she has several balanced recipes 👍🏻
Yes more please!!! Thank you!
Ok I’m just gonna throw this out there. When I gotten my puppy he has been sneezing violently and huffing and puffing. I didn’t know what it was and I fed him high quality kibble. So once I made the switch to homemade food he doesn’t do the violent sneezing anymore. He’s been great ever since.
I would love to hear him speak again! So informative and made it make sense to those of us new to raw feeding!
Please have him on again!!! He was fantastic!

Pancreatitis has no official known cause…even vets don’t know in every instance what causes it. However a lot of times it can be caused by stress & inflammation in the body, cooked rancid fats, and too many carbohydrates (ie kibble is high in carbs).
I transitioned my dogs to fresh Whole Foods and they have never looked or felt better. When you know what’s in kibble and how it’s made, then human grade fresh food is so much better. Traditional vets have been taught that kibble is better than other options out there but that’s because the vet schools actually get $ from the big kibble companies to promote kibble. I use several different brands and mix up their proteins and even my older dogs don’t have GI problems now when they really had a rough time on kibble.
My dog won’t touch kibble. He only likes home cooked food. He’ll eat a bit of raw now and then, but he prefers cooked food. I worry about getting his diet nicely balanced though. He’s very picky. Not sure why people want to turn their cats and dogs veggie, I’ve been veggie over 27years, and I hand feed my dog meats and everything 😂.
Dr Judy has a book called yin and Yang that has balances recipes
Bought both Dr. Brady’s book and course. I’m looking forward to learning more 😀
You always have great people on your show you the best for animal's i think ❤
Yes more would be great thanks
This was a great video. I would like to hear him again.
Okay, this veterinarian makes sense to me. I am so worried about my dog not getting the proper nutrition from a raw diet, but I don’t need her to get every bit of her nutrition from each meal. I can add different things as I go and not worry too much about it. As I learn, I can add new things to her diet. This gives me the courage to get started. I need my first recipe.
This was amazing 🤩🙌🏻please keep it coming!
It’s a full lifestyle for not only humans but our furry families too🐶 ❤
54... Yes, a new sub here. More Dr. Brady..... Just got a 10 month old all white GSD, wanna start her on real food.
Love the info. Nalah barks thanx too 🙏
Definitely would love to see Dr Brady again and give a talk about gut flora support. Also, it would be great hear his thoughts on new push to feed alternative protein source- I'm referring to insects dog food. I feel that we need to be proactive and learn more about now, because the movement to cut meat production is already very strong in human food chain, so it will become even stronger in petfood. We would like to believe that we are in charge of what we feed our pets and ourselves as well, but we all can see that certain, mega corporations purchasing farm land and food production, especially in US. Small farms and butchers are being pushed out of business. With high inflation most people cannot afford to purchase good quality meat for themselves, much less for their pets. Premade complete and grinds went up through the roof since last year. Big corporations already manipulate what we read, listen, how we vote and now they manipulate what we eat. Thank you Rachel for great content and having Dr Brady.
If I change to a meat diet how do I determine how much he should get?
Great! I love your energy.
What is a balance raw diet for dogs? There is so much different information online.
Hate to break it to you, but this isn’t just a problem for pet parents, but for people parents too. Humans don’t need near as many carbs in their diet as doctors lead you to believe. That silly food pyramid ought to be tipped upside down!! If you’re buying anything these two are saying, then definitely look into the proper human diet, because believe me, meat heals. And doctors don’t want you to know that. Anyway, I’m here watching this channel because I’m wanting to get my dogs on a raw diet. I have seen what a carnivore diet can do for people, and I definitely believe that dogs need a lot more meat than what is recommended. Thanks for the video.❤ love your guest, he seems like he has his head screwed on straight.
There’s only one valid argument for kibble. It’s more convenient for the human. It’s completely outweighed by all the arguments for the raw diet.
To be blunt, that’s a lazy and presumptuous argument. You don’t speak for all pet parents and you certainly don’t speak for those who simply don’t know there are other alternative options out there.
Actually freeze dried, dehydrated, air dried, etc are as convenient as kibble and they’re much better for the dogs/cats. Most people who spend a lot on kibble think it’s good for their animals and they even look for the best kibble they can afford. Same for prescription diets. The consumers are tricked into thinking this stuff is healthy and necessary, and they’re never given better alternative options.
There are so many new brands that offer a variety of proteins and have all differing price ranges so you can find one that’s affordable for you.
There are even some brands like Green Juju that use organ meats and balance with Whole Foods instead of synthetic vitamins. Companies are really taking into account how busy people are and they’re trying to accommodate those people with convenient AND healthy alternatives to kibble. Most of these other options only require adding a little water to rehydrate. Most people add water on top of kibble anyway. If people knew what was really in kibble or how it was made and what happens to it as it sits in the bag…or how often they get recalled for making people and dogs/cats sick, then I’m sure many of them would dedicate a few more seconds or minutes to feeding their dogs something healthier than simply dumping toxic kibble into a bowl.
Convenience is really just an excuse…& it’s the argument pushed by the big kibble companies, so you’re basically propagating their propaganda for them.
@@laurenmichero9003 you don’t seem to have read and grokked the point of my comment. “Lazy and presumptuous” indeed.
I agree. I work 60 hours a week and and have 4 kids our animals eat a raw homemade diet yes it takes a little time and a lot of research but you can't tell me it's not worth it .
Sometimes that is true! But some people have cognitive dissonance or they have just never been told how bad dry kibble is
This is a bit of a closed-minded argument, many disabled people can't feed raw for a variety of reasons.
Raw food takes a lot of time to prepare, including measuring out portions and cleaning surfaces before and after. I'm not able to stand up long enough to do all of this, even if it's just for one meal. On bad days, I can just about manage to do my dogs' dry food before needing to sit back down. My kitchen is far too small to use a chair in there and there's no chance I'm letting raw food go anywhere near the rest of my house. Costs also come into play.
It's less about convenience and more about what I'm physically capable of doing everyday.
What is a digestive enzyme you recommend?
I use mercola pet
@@jbandreanna97 thank you
@@jbandreanna97 I’m familiar with their products but there are 3-4 enzymes. Any possible way you could let me know which one? I appreciate your help
Dr Mercola has one or two options but Adored Beast also has a line of probiotics including one with digestive enzymes that’s great.
I've got a German Shepherd that's needs a diet food for her can you recommend some things for her vet recommend hills pet..
I got a recipe online that has 1 bl of meat, 3 cups of vegetables, 3 cups of rice and 1 egg so I want to know if it's too much rice
He mentioned rice in the first half of the video sorry I don't remember the exact time, but basically rice is just sugar. Not necessary for dogs, it's just used as a filler
I would get a book like Yin and Yang which has complete and balanced recipes for dogs. It’s best to follow a recipe…& avoid rice and starches
Such a wealth of information
So loved this video. Totally believe in going back to the the good old days. Both people and domestic animals were healthier. Amber waves of grain. Back then wheat was tall. Today, wheat is a fraction of the height. How did they manage making wheat into a short plant? GMO. Our plant food does not resemble any of the real food plants from back in the day
I feed raw and food scraps but keep freeze dried for camping and some occasional variety
I put pure Scottish salmon oil on my dog kibble. I wish I could afford full raw but times are tight. I will try adding an egg now and again tho. Glad I found this video.
3 months ago my dog started itching and almost scraped all his back fur off on the side of his crate. He's regularly flea, tick and wormed. I could find no reason for his itching. His fur has now grown back but he's still itching and dull fur. Vets say feed a better food... that we just happen to sell here!
I have a rescue Dutch Shepard who is almost !0 years old and her energy level is that of a two year old. I feed her less than 2 cups grain free kibble per day (Morning/Night) with Tbs Ground Flax and two small baby carrots. Every other day Raw Beef liver or Salmon. Every other day one raw Bone with marrow. She's only had one rabies shot since I"ve had her 5yrs. and only 3 vet visits. Dog parks are a big NO. Thanks for all the info. I've subscribed and will be watching more.
I've been seeing newer food that is made from insects. Some people feed their dogs or cats this who have allergies. What do you think of this type of food? I've seen kibble formulas and wet food formulas.
What about cats and their diet? My cat has struyervite crystals and I hate feeding her the Royal Canin and Hills C/D expensive junk food.
There are so many options on the market now. If you ask the customer service reps at different companies then they should be able to tell you what is suitable to eat in most cases. I recently called a couple of brands and they went over the ingredient lists with me to find the best options. The smaller brands really seem to care about providing customers with good info to help our pets.
A chap on TH-cam who always fed raw has recently reluctantly changed his mind because 2 of his dogs have developed kidney problems, which the vets put down to his raw diet. Are u guys aware of any link between raw and kidney disease?
And with regards to home cooked food, what would you recommend? To include any carbs or not?
There are several causes of kidney disease and not necessarily attributed to diet. Were the vets conventional vets because I doubt a holistic vet would automatically attribute it to food. Kidney disease can come from heart disease, high blood pressure, exposure to chemicals, genetics, etc…so I would hope he would investigate further on his own or find another vet for a second opinion.
There have been dogs on Rx kidney diets that have died from malnutrition so I hope he didn’t switch from raw/cooked to something like that.
My own dog has a form of kidney disease that is secondary to his heart disease that was recently diagnosed. There are plenty of causes completely unrelated to diet
Love listening so interesting not finished yet but I have one question
Why is raw food better ? Can we cook the meats first. I’m happy feeding raw and do but why is raw the best when the same stuff could all be cooked first.
You can cook raw but you lose some of the beneficial aspects like the natural enzymes in raw food. I actually give my dogs a mix of raw and gently cooked. There are brands that tell you how to safely gently cook their food (AllProvide, Viva Raw, Darwin’s) or you can get already gently cooked meals (Raised Right, AllProvide).
Freeze dried is also a good option. It isn’t highly processed like kibble. All you have to do is add water, bone broth, etc to rehydrate the dried raw food.
Also raw is how dogs and cats eat prey in the wild.
Gently cooked does slightly change the food but not that much. If your dogs prefer cooked, as many do, then that’s still a great option. Some dogs also digest gently cooked better. As long as it is human grade food with few or no synthetic additives, then you should be fine
“Cheerios is *the best*! I went to Cheerios University in Cheerios Land.” -Doc Brady 💀😂
I swear this doctor is a riot. Could listen to him for hours. Yes, that about sums up the industry. I’m going FFF! ❤ (Fresh Food Forever)
My cane corso has been on raw from 10 weeks old when i got him. He is dramaticaly bigger than his littermates at 5 months old. Already 61 lbs.
This guy is Awesome !
Yes more from Dr Brady.will get his book. He is right about FEAR. We listen to experts with facts “ And nothing to backup. Yes I was afraid of feeding raw food. Now I know better. Thanks. In Jesus name we pray amen.. God bless America and the world.
I started a high fat carnivore diet and felt so much better that I put my German Shepherd on it too. I'm not rich and don't buy the real expensive meat. Meat, eggs, fish and lard, no seed or vegetable oils.
I feed our dog ground beef, an egg, a little bit of homemade yoghurt, few berries, few boiled carrots and fish oil. The fella is amazingly playful yet very, very calm. I think kibble f***cks with their irritability a lot, if more than anything.
Thank y’all😊
Can you feed kibble and raw diet together?
I feed mine 50/50 currently as I can't quite afford 100% as of now, her health has dramatically improved I also stopped the tick and flea prev and opted for holistic solutions as well as daily checks in tick season, I can see she's clearing up in her ears and got shiner coat as well as a lot more energy 🥰
