Yes please do a video speaking with a vet about bones (and eggs). Sourcing, introducing, safe chewing. It would be so helpful!
Fantastic conversation and much appreciated. I have been feeding my dogs avocado flesh for many years now. Humans became afraid of the fat content that it became bad while the double drive thru at McDonald’s is backed out the parking lot 🙄 I am so tired of this debate and love the fact that you keep bringing it up! Also the garlic conversation that was so controversial. Love it Rachel, thank you so much for this very informative interview with Dr Zack.
While I appreciated your video, and the opinions of both of you, I would never trust Procter & Gamble and refused by any products of theirs since they have been using animals in their research and experiments for years and using them as an example for health benefits is a little bit beyond the pale. Anyway, thank you
@@Marsjeg1yes that was a little disconcerting to me when I heard that name I was like wait what 😮
My dog has had a reaction to every kibble I've tried.
I've been watching your videos and believe me since changing her diet she's had less allergies
Like he said it's from unethical breeding. Breeders need to do health/genetic tests on the dogs they choose to breed.
@@jeffk464 tell me about it my dog is a cross between a pug, chihuahua, shih tzu .
I never have had a full pedigree .
My last dog was a Jack Russell cross and his father was a miniature collie.
He was 17.5 years old when he passed away
@@normadewolfe4426 Mixed dogs unless done intentionally, in which case do the testing, are their own thing. My brother's mixed dog is a mess, food allergies and bad joints all the way around, good temperament though. Its possible to get a healthy dog off of craigslist and end up with a dog with health problems from a good breeder, your just stacking the deck in your favor.
Yeah dogs used to just eat what their humans were eating, its how they got interested in us as they would not starve and help us hunt and ratting our farms.
@@treasuretrovel3816 before the invention of commercial pet food the wealthy people and royalty were feeding their dog well with meats and veggies
As I was growing up we sprinkled a small amount of Granulated GARLIC power on our 🐩 poodles food DAILY as a flea prevention. PS our poodle lived to 21 years of age
Yes, please on a deep dive on bones! I have a senior dog and am getting two new puppies in a couple months! Just recently found you and have been watching a lot of your videos!
Oh that is so wonderful to hear its safe to feed our dogs avocado!! I took my maltese off of kibble 100% a year ago and its done great on our little maltese mini, Gizmo !!
Avocado is a superfood and i consume 1 daily and will add this to Gizmo’s culinary regimen.
Great informative video!!
I was called a murderer for giving my dogs garlic!
Yes on a deep dive for bones! Trying to steer away from Nyla bones, but not sure where to start.
For parasites regularly use food grade diatomaceous earth and olive leaf, very healthy too.
That only works on intestinal parasites. Doesn't work on liver fluke or heartworm ect
@@darlenekerfoot5661what would you use for liver and heartworm?
@@darlenekerfoot5661does it work on tape worms
Agree @@darlenekerfoot5661
Don't be recommending stuff bro every soul is different. ❤
I'm so happy my boys can have avocado. I eat them about 3 times a week and he drools when I do. Yes I would like to hear about marrow bones and cow ears. Thank you!
Great video as always Rachel and thank you Dr Zac for taking the time to share in this interview. It warms my heart to see younger generations spreading the light on truth and good health. And Dr Zac it is great to see better vets on Long Island, my home island growing up and the telemedicine. PRayers and blessings to it all. 🙏
Love the two of you. I hoped this conversation would address safety of raw salmon for dogs. I wanted sardines at fish market but they were not available so bought chum salmon. I did t k ow it could be deadly. Fortunately she vomited. Cat also did t hold it down. I’d love to hear this added to a conversation. Thanks so much for great content.
I bake the salmon stakes.
Yes, I am transitioning my dog to RMB, because it takes a lot of my time to feed a raw diet the way dog food companies do (add things like egg shell powder, wheat germ oil, blueberries, etc for balance). It would be easier to feed RMB with some muscle meat (including heart or gizzard), organ meats, some tripe and ground vegetable matter (can be dried or fermented).
I would love to see a video on feeding bones to small dogs.
Roxie: I have a 10lb dog, shi-poo mix.
He gets raw chicken wings and chicken feet.
The feet 2×s a week are nutritious and keep teeth clean, free of tartar.
Never cooked bones as they can splinter.
No commercial food. No unfiltered water because of the chlorine.....which we should not drink either.
@treasuretrovel3816 I have a 10 lb Shih-Poo. For teeth and good health I give him: raw chicken wings, chicken feet, and round soup bones that he chews on for months. The soup bones he works on to get the center out, removes all the meat. The only caution is the diameter of the center. One time he screamed because he got his lower jaw caught inside the bone. He was not hurt but scared and I was able to get it
Definitely would love to have the video of the different bones etc!!!!
I bath my dogs for and condition there skin with olive oil and coconut oils in there food my dogs get dry shampoo in between. OAT SHAMPOO and always conditioner washing eyes cutting hair in ears and keeping bedding clean.
I heard from Dr Mercola's holistic vet that dogs can have allergies to oats by eating them AND shampooing them.
Excellent info thank you for your knowledge really appreciate you both
Definitely want to know more about bones.
Thank you both of you
What about onions 🧅
very good interview! three comments: #1, Whether human or canine, the gut biome has to adjust to cope with new foods. #2, the pet food industry has a vested interest in keeping people afraid and paranoid about feeding our pets from home. Sources like this channel actually make it easy to stay within known guidelines. #3, nobody has all the answers where pet nutrition is concerned, or human nutrition either for that matter! It's hard to imagine a scenario where a conscientious pet owner could put their pet at more risk than feeding commercially produced food! Feeding whole foods covers bases we don't even know exist yet! Don't let fear limit you!
Yeah, they use Garlic for cows in salt blocks for fly control ❤
My dog has taken the lid off my iced coffee's and drank some of it.
Never had a problem, but now I'm worried.
I juice 1 Clive if garlic and within 30 seconds I was nauseous and threw up. Garlic is potent so go easy on the amount. Good for dogs and humans.
The risk of feeding your dog fresh food is that your dog doesn't want to eat kibble anymore, they get spoiled.
Why would you want to feed kibble when it’s such a poor food source?
@@jkid9942 I supplement with canned food, have supplemented with beef liver should do it more. My first choice to supplement was scrambled eggs, but is caused loose stool, no fun.
Excessive weight is the symptom of metabolic syndrome, not the cause. Iyou refer to the biology book, you will see that carbs and sugar raise insulin, which sequesters fat and also shuts down the body's ability to telease fat from adipose tissue. constant high insulin levelsresult in insulin resistance, which can at some point cause the brain to lose its ability to access energy, resulting in old-timers syndrome. Iour critters are fat, we are not feeding them a species apopropriate diet, dogs are carnivores, and should not have carbs or sugar.
Yes! Video on bones pleeeeeeease! I am enjoying being a first time dog owner. We adopted her at 2-ish years old and she is now 10 or 11. She is a pit mix and I would love to give her some bones but b.c I have no idea what or how to do it safely, I just don’t. She lost two front, lower teeth years ago so I am double concerned she may not be a good candidate for bone gnawing. 😢 she also gets loose stools when she has chicken breast so I’m not sure if she can have duck or turkey? Are there beef bones that are safe?
@@itsamystery888 but you can’t just give any bones, right? I figure I’ll start with a duck neck if I can find it.
My dog loves RAW CHICKEN FEET. He gets one every other day for a nice delicious calcium treat.
My pittie makes a meal out of raw chicken feet, pig feet, unsmoked necklines, beef liver and more. We think they're great. He gets the added benefit of satisfying his desire to chew and sometimes plays with them like he's hunting lol. Enjoy
Just a one oz of vinegar in 6 cups of water then blending in blender they lap it up.
Just cuz they love it, don’t make it healthy.
Great video! Yes, deeper dive on RMBs. My small, brachycephalic guy (Boston) struggles a bit with duck necks and the like. I’ve been using Bones and Co beef bones, and so far so good. He’s four, and his vet said his teeth are great.
Idk if you know this but you can get the exact same beef marrow bones for probably a third of the price you’re paying for the Bones and Co ones. You can buy them at a lot of regular grocery stores (sometimes you have to ask the butcher bc they keep them in the back). They’ll even cut them for you to whatever size you want. Butcher shops also have them. I’ve been buying them at my local Asian market though bc they’re even cheaper there then they are at the grocery stores or butcher shops. I can get several pounds for less than $10 and they’re precut.
@@ccap3211 I do! Thank you for the response. The issue for me is the size and the relative scarcity of fresh butcher bones. Locally, I can only get bones that are fairly large in diameter, and my dog struggles with the weight. We don’t have an Asian market or a lot of not-farm based options. I live a mile from an excellent natural pet store, so that’s where I tend to go.
@@kristelsmart8318 makes sense! I just assumed pretty much all towns have Asian markets. Lol there’s like 5 where I live in Missouri but maybe that’s unusual!
@@ccap3211 here in Vermont we have plenty of amazing farms, so lots of fresh produce, fresh raw goat milk, and ethically raised beef and poultry, but no Asian market. I think we’re the weird ones though! Thank you for replying just the same 😁
I wait 10 min after mincing garlic for the allicin.. healthy benefits... can google that. Great video @Rachel! I just found you & agree with your content..i have so many videos to catch up on. Thanks for being s great pet parent advocate ❤❤ as for the studies, there's a lot of jargon that's hard to understand & Follow so if you have a veterinarian.. maybe they can " translate" into layman terms? Thank you thank you
I might be misunderstanding something and hope someone can clear this up, but the label on the shampoo says "never tested on animals." In this case shouldn't it be better that it's been tested on animals so that we know it's safe for them to use? 🤔
It’s for animal rights protection. People didn’t like the idea to use animals to test cosmetic products before it’s used on people. So some brands try to appeal to this group of people that their products were not tested on animal’s because the company against animal cruelty or use of animals in various products testing
Amazing how many dog owners never read the back of the food bag for ratio of cups per weight.
And don't know the breeds that are food gluttons, like Beagles. Whereas an Airedale, rarely over eats.
How can you tell if a puppy is overweight? They don’t have the same shape as an adult dog.
We use booties in Alaska to prevent frostbite.
I blend bones in blender after boiling for 4 hours in vinegar is that ok.
Sounds like you’re making bone broth. I’ve never heard of anyone blending up the bones though. Normally they just pull the bones out after boiling and throw them away and serve the broth.
Definitely interested in bone video
Why you are on the subject, how about a discussion on ornamental plants that are dangerous to dogs.
LoL A super spicy enchilada.... depends if its for a Mexican dog or not
what about onions? I've heard onions are bad for dogs
Raw pumpkin seeds can naturally deworm your dog.
para cleanse is very important. Human / Animal transfer. 2x year on average . For both. Many health concern stem from this.
Being a good loving parent means we give our children what they need, not what they want. Same with being a pet parent.
How do you feel about flora purina probiotic
? My vet says to buy the packets but my little rescue Shihtzu is more often constipated than diherreah. What do you think? As much as I try with two toddler grandchildren around he tends to eat non edibles like wooden blocks, Russian dolls etc. Tia
I use those as well occasionally.
GETTING A PUPPY SOON. HOW TO ADAPT HER TO FRESH
FOOD.
I also don't think Sutton liked watching Erika and that guy looking like they were doing somthing. That was disgusting!
😮 whhaaaat? Lol
Do you have any recommendations for a good and safe ear cleaner? Inside of my puppy’s ears are filthy.
I use virgin coconut oil, especially on our two dogs who had fungal infection in their ears. It actually works and cleared out the infection. So I use it now for maintenance (putting a few drops into the ears monthly) and when cleaning the ears when needed.
I used it daily to clean our two dogs' ears when they had the infection and then put some more into the ears after cleaning, and rubbed the base of their ears to make sure it went inside to fight off fungi and even ear mites if present (it is safe since the dogs will just shake it off and the oil will naturally come out).
I use hydrogen peroxide on my dogs and cats. I use it on myself and kids too. Have used it for decades. I just flush the with H2O2 and let it drain naturally. We all have perfect hearing and no infections.
I've had ringworm for 6 months.
Do you happen to know how to finally rid it? I have done all the antifungal creams as well as lots of natural products.
Hi,
I got a rescue dog and her 7 pups with ringworm a few months ago. Ringworm is a fungal infection. I used green tea (medium strength) with a dash of apple cider vinegar. Both have anti fungal properties.. put the mix in a spray bottle. i sprayed it all over every evening and lightly rubbed in to have it contact with the skin. I soaked a cotton round in the solution and sat it over any actual ringworm for a couple of minutes.. they all cleared completly with in 3 weeks. I continued to spray every few days to negate any further infection. Make a new mix every few days.
Hope this helps 🐾🙏🇦🇺
my cat had this, i spent a lot of money on foot sprays that did nothing! I agree with using ACV, and a daily bath with dermabliss antibacterial and antifungal shampoo which is also good for dogs and blue star ointment purchased over the counter at my local pharmacy.
Are air fried chicken feet safe? I’ve been cooking them for 40 minutes and they become crispy for my pups.
I’m unsure but I would think that would be considered a cooked bone so I would assume no. Why not just feed it raw?
When cooked, they can have sharp edges and splinters, that can pierce your dog's intestines.
No! Don't cook them.
That's the whole point. They need to be raw to prevent splinter problems and to allow them to digest the bone.
Please inform yourself!
Where is the link to this dr. I could not even find his last name??
Third link in the description, says vet consult. It’ll take you to his info.
I would appritiate an explicit approach to discass salt in dog food,please!!!
Our breeder said NO way any salt but table human food obviosky have salt in it.
Q: i give my labrador frozen beef marrow bones… is this okay!
I saw a pet summit recently and the holistic vets and nutritionists recommended we feed everything at about room temperature bcuz it's more natural for the dog and because they can get tummy upset /loose stools from the cold food . Something you can look into further maybe. Good luck
I have a cattle dog. When he was under 2 he had a great physical fit. I had a boyfriend for a few years who treated him with yummies more than I’d prefer… I think my dog is overweight, he says heelers are just husky
My dog still has form, but he has more fat than I’d prefer
And having a heeler is where my username comes from, cattle dog attitude 😂
What about onions ?
Toxic
What amount of garlic per pound ?
1/2 of clove per 10 pound dog 4 times a week according to the Dr
My Dog loves Avo. I eat Avocado every day. I ripen them in warm spots like near a window or glass sliding door. My dog steels an Avocado every opportunity she can and eats it. She spits the skin out, eats the flesh and often eats the seed unless I catch her in the act. She also gets avo seeds from the bin, plays with them then eats them (without permission) 🐾🙏🇦🇺
Didn’t the Dr just say that part is toxic the skin and seed?
Isn’t there a chance that a dog could choke on an avocado seed? 😯
@@cricketnylund7329 she doesnt eat the skin at all, i try to avoid her getting seeds for this reason but she steels them from the bin. They've done no harm though thankfully.
How about intermittent fasting for dogs? Is it something that can be done and would it be beneficial as it is for humans?
My dog does it on her own. Shell not eat like one day a week.
@ericdixon1884 Yeah, I noticed my dog does that too.
He will not eat food he likes now and then. Someti
Fasting is always beneficial!
I found it ironic that this guy was talking about a species appropriate diet, for the pets he treats, but he's a vegan!
This kind of inflammatory rhetoric regarding food toxicity for dogs has made me not take anything at face value. I need to know the reasoning behind things - I was so annoyed when I realized that the reason why avocado was deemed toxic to dogs is because of the skin and the pit. Who feeds the skin and the pit?? It’s despicable.
I have heard that ASIAN breeds are more susceptible to anemia due to long term garlic consumption
I’ve been feeding my 3.5 year old dog avocado 🥑 as a healthy snack and she is HEALTHY!! Yes I was scared but if it’s healthy for humans than it has to be healthy for dogs in small amounts. IMO 🙏🏼 there would be a shortage on avocado if pet owners fed their pets avocados!! 😂
Wait wait wait I'm sorry I have to say this I enjoy hearing your videos they're very informative but as somebody who does study herbalism and aromatherapy, I have to say essential oils is not a blanket term.! Actually essential oils are so much more than just the oils that they extract because what it is is that little bottle of essential oils that little tiny bottle that you pay for it is so expensive because it takes 100 lb of rose petals to make 1 oz of rose essential oil. Now some of these are much easier to get and take much less from the plant to get some of these take much more to get. But the point that I'm making is essential oils are very very very very very very strong they should not ever be taken lightly it is not like peppermint extract or vanilla extract that you can get at the grocery store they are two totally different things, even when you go to get the oils like I have oregano oil that is not oregano essential oil because it is mixed with a carrier oil therefore making it so it is not nearly as strong. Essential oils are very very strong you have dogs and cats who sense of smell is so much stronger than ours, when they are smelling these essential oils it is so much stronger than it is to us. Not to mention if they lick them they're taking into them this concentrated amount so yes be very very very very very careful with essential oils around pets please. I'm not just talking about cats and dogs, birds, turtles, rats, hamsters, you get the hint all of our pets are furry babies. If you are in question ask somebody who knows research it. I have seen pets hurt by being exposed to pets.
Problem, I hear work with your vet, but my vets only recommend Hills Science Diet or Royal Canin. Even though the foods make one of my dogs sick and won’t even entertain rotational feeding, home cooked, or fresh diets. I live in a small town so choice are limited. One of my dogs has severe stomach issues but I have received no help or support.
sounds like you have to just do what you think is best and find the right food for your dog. I'm sure most vets mean well, but this is what they're taught by the dog food salesmen, and/ Or they like the money from selling the dog food.
Hi I’m from the UK and my pet food merchant has told me that giving my dogs who are 14 month old Siberian husky’s something with fur on ie: rabbits feet is a natural dewormer. Has anyone else heard of this?
I do make sure my dogs (and cats) get some of their raw with the fur on. But I do it for the fiber. Maybe it helps sweep some worms out?
Only if first you shake it over their head while dancing on one foot and saying ooga booga.
Raw bones for puppies?
Hey, just want to say kibble is not 100 years old. That gives it too much credit and I am a fresh, raw food feeder and have been for over 20 years. If you substract 1950 - 2023 = 73 years. ;))
For most of the dog show community, we actually point out the fat dogs that go to Westminster and discuss how sad it is and our disappointment about it. The judges are supposed to put dogs up with good bone structure and the movement that they were supposed to have for the jobs that they are supposed to be bred for. However, a lot of the dogs shown in that big dog show are brought out again to show this but the owners have over fed them and under exercised them. We hate it that the judges reward that. If I were a judge and saw that, I would go to the breeds that haven't had that happen to them. We do admit that their bone structure is most likely great, but we hate seeing the representation of those breeds being fat. The regular every day dog show participant that most people don't see because it isn't televised, don't have our dogs like that. Personally, if I were a professional dog handler, i would strongly advise the owner to get the dog in shape before sending the dog into a show, let alone a televised dog show. The handlers get paid to show a dog and if they are getting paid to show a fat dog then so be it. They weren't the ones who made that dog fat. Anyhoo... there's my rant. Not that I was offended at what you guys said. Not at all. I and many others do get frustrated when we see owners putting their fat dogs into the ring and then they get put up as best of their breed and getting rewarded for it.
When he says he doesn’t like “bones with the hole in the middle” is he talking about raw beef marrow bones? I thought those were good?
I've seen articles where the dog's lower jaw slips through the hole and can't get it off. It then requires an emergency vet visit and sometimes sedation to be able to safely remove it.
@@user-tb5ep6vd4c wow I’ve never thought of that being a possibility. Luckily I have St Bernard’s so the likeliness of that happening is probably small since they’re jaws are too big to fit inside a marrow bone.
I actually had one of my huskies many years ago get her lower jaw stuck in the hole. It wasn’t fun! Anytime I get them I make sure the hole isn’t going to be an issue!
@@kimgottlieb6398 really? That’s so scary! I have Saint Bernards so their jaws are huge but I guess it’s still a possibility so I’ll definitely be mindful of that in the future!
Why would anyone feed avocado or any other vegetable to dogs?! They're carnivores!
I have 3 terriers and they choose to graze on low growing peas, cucumbers, and zucchini in my garden. They also dig up their own carrots, beets, and decimate the asparagus bed when they can break in thru the fence.
They have also eaten many of my winecap mushrooms.
This is natural for them to eat vegetables as well as fallen fruit.
I wash my dog’s paws and mouth and his pee pee with pH balancing, no fragrance, natural dog wash daily after his night walk. He’s healthy and never gets sick !
I would like to see bones
Personally I can not STAND being around people who eat garlic. It is excreted thru their sweat and They reek! Do dogs fed garlic also smell?
Your concern of smell outweighs the health benefits? Am I miss understanding your comment?
