Love the rant. My vet told me in 2019 that my dogs heart was enlarged because of the grain free dog food. I switch her food several times and she started sneezing, getting warts all over her, eyes tearing, etc. I finally gave up trying and now make her food and she has bounched back her peep in her step. She is so much happier.
Oh they care… they care enough to get you sick off of the stuff they pass off in food so that you can get on the poisonous drugs they push. In turn getting them paid! It’s truly evil.
I literally fired my vet 2 years ago after I took my new puppy to her, she asked me what she was being fed. I told her I make my own food and add some grain free kibble. She proceeded to shame me and told me I was a bad pet parent for giving my baby grain free kibble. I left her office and never returned. I now currently do my own vaccinations for all my pets and everyone is healthy and strong… grain free and all…
Great idea. I have been in the pet industry for 20 years. It's all been made up by the information that jusy.mentions. I have been frustrated about the false information.
@@Thedailydog I am glad that you are in the position to reveal the awful truth now, but what took you 20 years? I am guessing that it was money which is often falsely correlated with happiness and security.
@VelcraDeFang I myself have been talking to a wide variety of people, my petsitting clients have all been receptive to the information I have been able to provide. I wish these big companies didn't have so much power with their $$$$ . It's up to us to help one another, that's why I have been reading a wide variety of pet nutrition and holistic pet health books. I still have so much more I want to learn.
My dog jack, a maltese, 20 years ago. He was lethargic, etc Took him to one of the better vets. They pushed science diet. The vet sold us a slew of the can food. We opened it and it was full of mold. I tried to feed better, but he was septic and soon died. That lit a fire under my butt and I studied from the best I could find. My dogs these days are healthy and happy. They eat FRESH 😊
Hi Judy! I’m a huge fan of your guidance!!! Is this your lovely daughter? I could see the resemblance. She’s a strong woman just like you. That’s how I raised my 4 daughters to not take any shit!!! I love hearing you two rant, it’s awesome!!!
@@ThePetWellnessCoach I have spent a lot of time studying and learning about dog nutrition I really enjoy the subject and I really like making our food and I'm always taking time to learn more and watch videos etc. I know when I started to learn about kibble I was in total shock I knew it wasn't good but I had no idea it was so bad. Most people have no clue and they see the beautiful advertisements and packaging. Sometimes I wish I didn't know what I know about kibble because people I know like my mom still feed kibble and she's always asking me about various ailments and her constant vet visits and I believe its 90 percent food related. I try to go about explaining politely but its really difficult for some people to understand they've practically been lied to. My mom and my wife both took a female dog from the same litter just over 10 years ago so they are senior dogs now and my wifes dog has been on raw its whole life and my moms dog on kibble the difference is massive especially these last few years. But I get the feeling that more and more people are moving to a real food diet especially with all these companies offering pre-made options.
We’re fortunate that our holistic vet, who also practices Chinese medicine, encourages and supports raw feeding. Thank you Dr. Morgan for all your hard work and tenacity battling the myths and big pet food companies. You are a champion!
@@crystalmarine no, I’m sorry I don’t. But I do know that Dr. Morgan has a couple of books about holistic care. You may want to check them out. Good luck in your search! 😊
As does my holistic vet. She believes in titres, too. After leaving several other vets, I finally feel at home and at peace that my girls are being cared for well.
That’s great! We love our vet as I am sure you do as well. We do blood titers every year, too. I pray that more holistically trained and minded vets are on the rise as pet parents become increasingly aware of good nutrition, the cons of spaying and neutering, raw feeding and minimal vaccines- I was one of them!
We need to go back to our grandma’s knowledge and always looking for natural and healthy way to live - including our pets because for all that industry money and power is more important then anything else. Thank Dr Judy and family for all you do
My soon to be fired vet showed me the Davis study saying the same thing about grains...funny thing is who sponsored the research?! The main donaters to Davis!!! No thanks guys!
I guess we shouldn't be surprised this has happened with pets. Look how brainwashed ppl are about their own doctors and health care! Americans believe anything a person with letters behind their name tells them, despite evidence to the contrary. Smh!
I have 4 dogs. 3 Akitas and I labadoodle. 1 Akita wouldn't touch it I had to fancy it up 2nd had a seizure 3 Akita lost hair Labdoodle would vomit I didn't think to much about it until my Akita had a seizure I switch to making my own dog food 2 months ago and immediately my Akita started growing his hair back, no more seizures and no more vomiting. PURINA WAS KILLING MY DOGS
Yesterday my dog got her first home made meal she licked on me for half an hour did circles around her plate! Licked it clean! Thank you so much for what you are doing! Thank you from bottom of our hearts. ❤️ Update: We put her normal can food and our home made down and she ate all the home made of coarse! She keeps giving us more n more kissies and licks and love. She must have really hated all those dog foods. So much money trying to get her to eat. Her eyes are so bright in just a few days!
When you see a sign informing people to tell vet what brand of dog and type on the form It’s a clear sign vet knows what is going on… It’s up to us to protect our pets just like it’s up to us too protect ourselves 😢😢😢
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!! I am a petstylist and have been telling clients this for years. I am sharing this everywhere I can and encouraging my clients to watch to debunk the lies that the vets here have been telling them to increase their sale of these poisonous foods. Again, THANK YOU!!
FDA is worthless. I made dog food cause vet recommended purina pro and all my dogs were sick and coats were terrible. They started feeling and looking better all lost weight back to what they should be. Vet said the food was working they looked good. I told him they were all sick from it and I made their food. He shamed me. I laughed
My GSD was diagnosed with DCM in 2017. He was eating grain free kibble in the morning and raw at night. The vets made me feel like I was responsible for his sickness because I was feeding “boutique food”, they called. My dog stayed in the hospital for 3 weeks, he wasn’t eating and his health was deteriorating. I start visiting him at feeding time and bring cooked food. He bounced back and came home with thousands of medicines. Vet instruction was to feed him PPP, I bought a bag… but couldn’t feed him that, instead he was feed not kibble at all. Raw and cooked food. The vets gave him 6 months as his heart was too big and not pumping right. He lived 3.5 years. Our hearts knew better ❤
My vet got mad at me a couple of years ago and told me there were studies showing pets do better with grains. Now I know where the study, bs, came from. I make my dogs food. They eat what I eat.
@leewashaleski7719 grains are carbs. Maybe a small amount wouldn't hurt. If my dogs get carbs, it is through a few fresh veggies. Mine eat meat, and some organ meat, lightly cooked.
I get those consultations every day! Pet owners struggling with their pet's coat, skin, etc condition ... but won't upgrade the food because of what the vet says. It's so heartbreaking.
My dog has been on raw food for a month now since my cat passed away from most likely purina. Dog is doing great, her stool is better, skin is better, not as dry and she has better energy. I suggest everyone that has a dog get a meat grinder and make your own foods
My now previous vet (for various reasons) pushed kibble with grain, explaining that predators ate the intestines of grain eating prey before eating any other part. Became offended when I countered with "are they not eating the liver, etc first, and not the intestines??"
I'm curious about what grains the prey are eating. I'm going by in the wild, not farm raised. Deer eat grass, clover, alfalfa, apples, probably corn, but do they eat wheat? Cows are like deer, but do they eat corn in a field? Chicken eat bugs and grasses, and I think rodents. I don't know anything about pigs/hogs/boar. I don't know if any of them would eat rice in a field. I just doubt prey animals eat many grains at all.
I just fired my Vet. She misdiagnosed my chow chow. Unnecessary surgery then she got mad at me when I told her I make my own dog food. No more kibble for my dog.
I feed my guy raw and have for 4 years, he’s 10 and has the energy he had when he was a pup. Decided to not listen to my vet at the time…. Glad I did. Yeah “safe & effective” now means run the other way!
300 million pets on grain free and only 500 pets get sick….. I completely agree with that sentiment. But, same can be said about your latest report of Purina food making pets sick. Hundreds of Million of pets being fed Purina brand foods and only 500-1000 pets were reported as sick. Alllllllll of this is confusing
When the original study came put, I read the study. The vets specifically stated that they could not make a definitive link between diet and CDM. They even said that they could not recommend owners change the diet of their dogs. I never understood why it blew up when the original study made it clear there was no true link.
I have clients who feed commercial foods and I'm trying to get them switched to mire biological appropriate foods, I am not sure that primal is a culprit, sometimes when switching from kibble to raw, it can present harder for the body to recognize because the gut microbiome needs to detox and rebalance. Hard to say, that's just my opinion. Love raw feeding tho
I started Sundays for dogs, but it is to expensive, and my dogs look hungry while on it, so I am switching to Carna4. Hopefully, will be good for them.Previously I was giving them Orijen
We had a pet Supplies franchise and when the DCM issue was so big, I still encouraged my customers buy grain free. I didn’t agree with the FDA. I’ve never worked in the veterinary field but was educated in the medical field. Therefore I had enough knowledge about nutrition to disagree with the manufacturers and the FDA. Unfortunately we had a franchise and we’re obligated to follow their procedures and direct customers by the FDA findings. I never did but some of our employees who couldn’t think for themselves followed.
I’m so thankful for the info you provide! Since I switched my cats diet from dry kibble and canned wet food from these major brands to almost fully home cooked chicken turkey and beef liver they have so much more energy far cleaner healthier looking poops and far less puking almost none since the change. Thank you!
Pet Owners, if you want a healthy animal, you must do research on your own. Most of our Vets have been mislead, you should know that by now. You need to learn yourself how to properly care for your animal. I would never again put my dog's life into the hands of another and not question anything. Never ever again.
The FDA is allowing Insulin makers to add micro teeny tiny self assembling rubber dots into HUMAN insulin, long lasting time release. So imagine what is happening to dogs and cats insulin! I am feeding my little guy home made dog food in my instant pot. I just stopped Merrell beef and sweet potato on the list. He poops less and loves it more. Thank you for truly caring about our fur babies.
I had no idea. My vet has Luca GS Dog my assistance K9 on Hills I/d since 2018 Now she is dying! I have a 3 Hour Drive one way to get Luca to internal medicine. I hope she makes it. Vets have failed me horribly. And then I had a receptionist from Las Vegas veterinary specialist Center portray that she was a doctor, I found out yesterday she’s a receptionist.😶 Where there is chaos, there is evil .
Thank you for the information, knowledge is power. The more informed we are, the better choices we can make. That being said, I hate when companies conspire to mess over the public for profit.
Funny you should mention this…I thought I’d finally found a decent vet that didn’t push vaccines or prescription diets however last time we were in the vet he mentioned getting my dog on grains…what for it…for weight loss….lmfao you wont loose any weight eating grains!
If my German Shepherd assistance aid working, Dog could make the 23 Hour Drive to Boundary Bay in Bellingham, Washington to help her heart. I would head there now.!!! Animal care is broken just like all things in USA. I also went to veterinarians emergency group . That facility and establishment is a façade. $4000.00 later and dog not received any relief for heart condition. SYSTEM BROKEN
Dogs don't need legumes or grain. If plant protein is used to replace animal protein I believe it can contribute to heart disease. Dogs need adequate amounts of taurine and other amino acids to support the heart that only come from meat. By replacing meat with legumes, potatoes or any other crappy ingredient, this means they are getting less of the good stuff that only comes from meat. The whole grain vs grain free argument is missing the whole point. Dogs need meat, bone and organs.
My vet used the argument that dogs are omnivores and not carnivores…I agree that up to 20% of the stomach contents of wolves is plant matter however…this is from the stomachs of their kills as well as munching on some grasses for added Fiber….YOU WILL NEVER SEE A WOLF STALK A POTATO.
It was actually included in the FDA reporting that they had narrowed the scope to pulses/legumes in grain free diets as the possible issue - so they do mention that.
Dogs can make their own taurine from other amino acids (but cats cannot). Some dogs might need taurine supplementation if they're found to be deficient. However, of course you're right that dogs need meat, bone, and organs, and do not need the cheap "meat replacements" that Big Pet Food is selling.
I sell All Provide, Pup Loaf & OC Raw at my little pet store. I also sell kibble because most people are not willing to go raw unfortunately. I recommend they watch your videos all the time! Actually some of my customers had you as their Veterinarian. I have an Earthwise Pet Store in Mantua, NJ. If you are ever in the area stop by and check out my little store. Thank you for all the videos you post it really helps me help my customers and their fur babies. If I can't get them on raw I do my best to atleast get them on something better then Purina, science Diet and so on. Thanks again 😊
I ran across a CAR (Corrective Action Report) issued to Mars, by the FDA. I searched for hours and found no evidence that the CAR was ever closed out. It had something to do with their plant. To my recollection, there were holes in the walls where critters were free to enter. I think that there was some debris (maybe plastic bits) found in the food. It was about 5 years ago, but I remember thinking that if they did not fix their issues, they should have been shut down. If I had found this today, I would have been on the phone with the FDA to find out what happened. (Getting a little more assertive in my old age)
I know this is over a year old now and a re-post - but, interesting that you are re-posting this now with all that is going on in the dog food debate circles. I was saying the DCM thing was "off" back then and saying over and over that "correlation is not causation", and taking flack for it (as I have worked in vet med as a vet tech). But I am also saying that same thing and taking flack right now for what y'all are saying on the current topic of heated debate. "Correlation is NOT causation." Dr Morgan said at roughly 8:52 that 500 reports out of roughly 160 million dogs is insufficient data, and I agree. Well, Purina alone claims to feed over 100 million dogs and cats per year in the US - so roughly 1500 reports out of over 100 million (more if you include the other brands) is insufficient data to say food is the issue with what is being claimed in a certain circle of people right now as well. It is, statistically, zero. (Although not zero to those who blaim the food for their dogs ills, admittedly.) Dr. Morgan also said it was wrong to have a list of "bad" companies without proof when it came to DCM, yet that same group mentioned above that Dr. Morgan is a contributor to is doing just that right now with a list of companies they are claiming are causing health issues that they cannot prove are causative. So it does seem to be a bit of confirmation bias induced "they are wrong to do it, but we are right because we are just." [EDIT: And now that group is saying ALL pet food is bad and tainted if it is not one of the handful of raw companies they list as the "good guys" creating all kinds of unnecessary FUD.] Correlation is NOT causation. Intellectual consistency is also good. (I do feel Dr. Morgan means well though - and is acting with good intentions.)
I think the Taste of the wild grain free kibbles has changed their ingredients, because my dog that cannot eat grains which cause yeast inflection in her ears, has developed severe ear inflection the past half a year. Now I change the food to Zignature grain free, her energy level increase and her alertness improve on the second day of the change.
My doberman Niko was diagnosed with DCM when he was 5. I fed him Orijin and Acana his whole life. Passed 2 years later after I spent thousands at the cardiologist. I am 99.99% sure it was genetic. Just got a dobbie pup (DNA test indicates 1 copy of the DCM2 gene). Was told to avoid PULSE, but I transitioned her to raw meats and fresh fruits and veggies (mostly organic) plus supplements. Some bought and some homemade... I noticed that her freeze dried raw food has taurine listed (last ingredient though). ***I am not a dog nutritionist,*** but I will not feed my pup corn, rice, peas, or these grain inclusive dog foods that are nothing but ultra processed carbs with farm factory animal waste and leftover grease. I consider this my own "experiment." My first doberman lived to 13 and ate "junk" pet food, people foods, (even stole a pumpkin pie from the countertop at thanksgiving). He had several fatty tumors and I wondered if it was related to GMOs so I changed the diet of my next pup. My second doberman, Niko, ate "boutique" pet food and no people food. Passed at 7 from DCM. My new pup will eat a nutritionally balanced appropriate raw diet and have minimum exposure to endocrine disrupters. My Goal is to improve her longevity and wellbeing. She eats quail, duck, and chicken eggs from my own birds and plays in the dirt to boost her microbiome. I also alternate her probiotics to give her microbiome diversity. I use castile soap (and nothing with the word "fragrance" in it) for her baths and she smells and looks wonderful. I am doing my best with the knowledge I have, but I will take any additional advice into consideration. PS Just purchased organic ground beef 93% buy one get one free ($4.50/lb each final price) and organic ground turkey for $2 ($9off) for anyone wondering if switching from big brand foods is expensive. Hope this helps someone out there. Thank you Dr. Judy for making a difference. We appreciate your efforts and I am very grateful for the work you do.
@@carriemartin4837 Hi. I began the transition from the breeder’s kibble to Nature’s Logic Distinction. I added some Primal freeze dried raw puppy food as a topper. I tried adding frozen raw, but she had diarrhea so I waited a bit on that. Now I give her Primal freeze dried raw, we feed raw brand food (meat, chicken, lamb, turkey etc). From the grocery store I give her ground meats, organ meats, sardines in water, blueberries, pumpkin purée, apples, eggs (quail, duck, chicken from my own birds), beef liver freeze dried treats, boiled chicken, dog vitamins, probiotics, carrots, broccoli, strawberries, and any dog friendly fresh Whole Foods I have. PS: I only give her about her paw size worth of liver. Too nutrient dense and I don’t want to over do on fat soluble vitamins (ADEK) because she can’t just excrete them in her urine like water soluble vitamins. Hope this helps.
@@rampantmantis2788 there are, technically, videos of wolves (and coyotes) doing just that - pulling down corn ears and eating the grains off the cobs - there are also videos of packs clearing out whole fields of berries as well
@@JesseDavis but not all grain. They mainly eat meat. If you put a raw steak 🥩 or ear of corn in front of a dog they will choose the meat first. Yes, they can eat other things, but is it good for them? Just like us, we can eat sugar and tons of carbs that turn into sugar, but is that good for us? No
@@GermanShepherdDaphneYes - it is good for them, just like us - but just like us, they are healthy at certain levels and unhealthy at others. If you fed your dog only steak they would have all kinds of nutritional deficits - same with corn, or any one thing by itself. Many studies have shown that wolves eat a ton of stuff other than prey. From the International Wolf Center: "Various studies of scat from the 1970s through the 1990s revealed fruit such as cherries, berries, apples, pears, figs, plums, grapes and melon in wolves’ diets ... " others have shown they eat other plant matter and even grains, grasses, and seeds. [And Maned Wolves specifically eat a lot of vegetables and fruits along with a lot of insects.] That is not to say that wolves diets are not largely made up of prey - but to say that don't eat a lot of other stuff too is incorrect. People grossly oversimply these things too much. Everything can turn to glucose in your system - simple sugars just spike your blood sugar levels where other things convert at a slower rate and are also used in other ways by the body. Creating Glucose Carbohydrates consist of molecules of sugar, which your body digests into glucose and uses for energy. When you're short on carbs, glucose can be created from fat and protein in a process called gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis takes place mostly in your liver, which also has the job of maintaining a steady amount of glucose in your blood. If blood sugar drops too low due to problems in the liver, your kidneys can boost blood sugar by converting the amino acid glutamine into glucose. Metabolizing Fats The saturated and unsaturated fats in your diet consist of two substances bound together: glycerol and fatty acids. During digestion, they're separated, and each one follows a different path. Glycerol is easily metabolized and used to make glucose. Fatty acids are carried to tissues throughout your body, where they help build cell walls, produce hormones and digest fat-soluble nutrients. Fatty acids can be converted into another substance called acetyl CoA, which is used to create energy, but they're not turned into glucose. Turning Protein into Glucose After you eat protein-containing foods, they're digested and broken down into individual amino acids, which cells then use to rebuild new proteins. Amino acids also have a variety of other jobs, such as helping to produce neurotransmitters and antioxidants. Your body can use all of the amino acids except lysine and leucine to make glucose. Some of the amino acids have the ability to become glucose and fatty acids, while lysine and leucine can only be used to synthesize fatty acids.
You would do more good by sharing this video and information with pet parents, not your vet. Veterinary medicine is just as corrupt as our heathcare system.
@@shaunamicheleRecently had a cat die. When I asked the vet about treating his illness with CBD oil, she said Veterinarians weren’t allowed to even discuss CBD. Helped me realize how controlled they are.
@bsusie1 There's a vet on TH-cam who has a holistic channel called Veterinary Secrets. He's in Canada. He, basically, was forced out of the profession because of his holistic approach.
@@shaunamichele yes, thank you❣️ Been following him for many years. Bought some of the nutrition he sold for my daughter’s dog , and was very pleased. It helped her dog that was having some health issues. Appreciate you sharing! We need to get the info out. He’s been subjected to so much negativity from people.
@@leewashaleski7719 same story, we’ve got Denamarin and also Ursidol plus full spectrum antibiotics, my dog is struggling trough this and it’s very difficult on her:( how’s your dog’s doing now ? what were you feeding them and did you report this issue to FDA?
I guess that explains the presence of grains in Rx diets. After spending lots of money and believing that those diets had a purpose, I read the ingredients list. I was in the waiting room and read the list on a few cans and wondered why they had corn, surely GMO.
As someone in finance who has done lots of analysis you can do a study and make it look like how you want on anything. That’s why first thing you need to look who sponsored it , how many people or animals in the study , where the selection is from, etc …and largely never trust them because they are paid for by the drug companies or another company that is a conflict of interest.
My 13 yr old dog died yesterday morning. I’m so distraught. I wish i had been more careful with kibble (i always bought the expensive brands), and vaccines and flea/tick meds. I keep feeling so guilty for not knowing any better 😞
So sorry for your loss. Do not feel guilty! You did the best you could with what you were told... you loved your dog and gave him your best efforts. Now you are learning and can take better care next time. I lost my former pup 3+ years ago and went through the same questions... he had a brain tumor which was unusual for his young age. I questioned what I could have done better... the neurologist put me at ease. Now my better Angels are guiding me to a healthier diet for my new rescue. You are here now for your next pup. ✨️💖✨️
@@joanies6778 thank you so much. This was sweet of you. So sorry about your pup ☹️ were you able to find out more info? Im so glad for youtube comments
@@user-sv6rk1xp2e Time helps. I am still grieving, but it gets better and I can say his name sometimes without tears now. I am trying to learn as much as I can so I can do better with my current dog. I know I did my best at the time with my last dog. I just didn't know any better.
I have been coaching people for years!!!!!! They are so scared that their grain only vet crap diets will go in the landfill. Lol. Oh judy what can we knowledge ones do??? "Bangs head on wall"
I only give my dog organic grains once n awhile. The reason why is because rice and wheat r saturated with round up during the growing season. She also gets organic meat. Our dogs aren't vegetarians. I also look out for carrigeegan n her food as it's a carcinogen.
Thank you for EVERYTHING!!! Love you so so much, Dr Judy!! Ive been cooking everything for my guys since the beginning of 2021. Its been a slow process but, Stellas kidneys went from a very grim outlook in June to about 30% better present day ❤❤ They'll be 13 in March. The horrible deaths that took place in 2018-19 from melamine... my best reference the food is think of eating a magic eraser. We don't know if my 9 year old sheltie (their mom) congestive heart failure was due to tainted kibble since she was eating some of the brands. Aspergillosis we feel may have taken our Liam (10 and pretty healthy prior) since the kibble was recalled and taken off the shelves for severely high levels of Aspergillus. It's criminal what these companies do all for $$.
The statement was made in December 2022: www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/outbreaks-and-advisories/fda-investigation-potential-link-between-certain-diets-and-canine-dilated-cardiomyopathy
I will tell you what happened to my dogs, my female Boxer had a previous echo done for other reasons on her heart it read as normal. I started avgrain free diet with her a year later due to allergies the food was labeled a venison/ lentil formula I had also a one year old male Boxer both were fed the same diet after a year of feeding this food my female started collapsing took her back to Vet she was diagnosed DCM I was told it’s a Boxer thing she died despite my best efforts and treatment 3 months later. Soon after my male started collapsing took him in he also turned out to have DCM as well. He also died within 3 months from the same thing! My dogs were not related at all. I found out my males father had a genetic form of DCM was the main reason he got it, but his father still is alive at 10 the difference being his father was never fed grain free dog food. This is all the evidence I needed to decide my current dogs will never ever be fed grain free dog food. They were both fantastic dogs I will never get over their loss not as long as I live!
I'm so sorry to hear this, boxers are the sweetest. We adopted our senior blind boxer from a Boxer Rescue org two years ago and per the adoption agreement they made us promise NOT to feed our boxer any food with legumes (chickpeas, lentils, etc.), pulses, nor potatoes (including no sweet potatoes) in it per that concerning DCM study as these foods are possibly problematic (taurine is another possibility). It's been challenging to find foods that he does ok on that don't have those ingredients, but we are honoring the avoiding that bc he seems at risk for DCM and who knows what he's eaten all these years already. Did a short experiment with him on ONLY raw food and he did GREAT - his coat looked better right away, he had more energy, etc. but it's definitely a learning curve for us to try to manage, a balance but we are trying to navigate the best options with a mix of kibble and raw meat. I wish you all the best with your current pups! 💟🐶
When a new medication comes out, the manufacturer gives their “study” to the FDA & gives them 8 million. The FDA tells them, if they don’t hear back from them, go ahead & put the medication on the market. The manufacturer says they’ll make enough $ at first to cover the legal fees when lawsuits arise. Isn’t this like putting the wolf in charge of the chicken coop? If they do this to human medications, how can you think it’s not the same with dog food?
Wow never knew wolves sat and chilled out ate such pass the salt plz 😂 crazy What about the people food not surprised on such issues with any food chase the $$$$$
Thank you! Question: would the red light therapy help a chihuahua with collapsing trachea? And how would I know if I bought a real red light or not? Enjoyed your coarse I bought!!!
Only grazing animals need grains to live. Why because they do not have canine, feline, sharp teeth for eating meat. Their flat for grinding grains. Common sense people. Vets also get donations for selling or pushing their food.
Yep, true, the kibbles in Europe have to have accurate percentages of food items labelled....unlike the sh.t show here in the US. Thank God we don't have your FDA.... PS: Farmina, available in the US, is from Italy, (and Slovenia, Albania, Brasil, I think) and they should have that labelling. If it doesn't have it, inquire why..
A grain free food where the majority of protein comes from legumes or a food containing grains where most protein comes from animals. Hmmm...which would I choose? Neither. However, if I had to choose I would go with the one with more animal protein.
Since when is ultraprocessed, garbage kibble "TRADITIONAL"??? What a lie! What's traditional for dogs, for thousands of years? I would think meat, bones, eggs, small animals, and whatever else the dog chooses when he scavenges outdoors in nature.
My dog past of DCM 12 years and 9 months and I was feeding him a grain free diet, while my ex husband had his dad and was not feeding him a grain free he lived 15 years, my mother has his brother currently and he is 14 years and 9 month and my mother does not feed him grain free either.
I'm feeding my dog with 50% pup loaf and 50% grain free salmon kibble because of his itching. The Vet did a skin scraping and there were no mites or known causes. He loves the kibble I'm feeding him mixed with 1/4 cup raw goat milk... but I want an even healthier brand. So, I purchased the list and am buying a grain free kibble I can afford from the list. I found a new veterinary office with all Vets practicing integrative medicine, but won't know what food they suggest until my dog's first visit. He'll likely need allergy testing, eventually because his fur is coming out... after vaxes, wh I ch I suspect is the culpret.
I notice you have cavaliers , I have a 4 years cavalier that was diagnosed with I B D only can eat noble meats and they recommended add grain . I cook Aligátor with sweet potatoes , brócoli , brown rice or quinoa , and alligator. The vet said cavaliers need grain . Any diet recommendations? Please.
You can find free recipes on her website. Also, not sure if you watched the video or not because they are explaining that dogs and cats do not need (and it is preferred not to feed) grains. Vets have been told they need to have dogs and cats on grains because of the pet food industry.
So I am a bit confused is 4 health poor food I started adding boiled chicken breast to their food but I have not had any issues of vomiting ,diarrheal, etc. ??
❤ You discovered the biggest scam against humanity! Sadly our processed foods has ingredients that should be in our food as well. For example tylenol, asprin and Ibuprofen all have titanium dioxide! I can't believe I fell for grains again. I'm allergic to grains myself. I lost my beloved Blue.😢
@@eternalhellfortyrants8561 yes ... I'm trying to learn .. and really pet food .... Is Dog food discussion. And the same goes for vaccines. Discussions ... In other videos ... We're about Pet vaccines however it was really Only about Dog vaccines... What is going on??!! Why is there not proper discussion of cat health!?
$$$$$ talks. From Food manufacturers to the FDA should be ashamed of themselves and should care about our animals. Maybe the USHS should be targeting these food companies. But that would be too big for the to handle.
Feed nature's logic no synthetic NOTHING that can kill your pet not all the grains. My German Shepherd does amazing on it or carna4 both make dog and cat food
You mean conspiricy facts😉 I am a conspiracy "theorist" and proud of it, much better then a dumb following sheep, beeeehhh, lol. And i think the name should be conspiricy factionist ( just made up a new word) lol.
I haven’t trusted the FDA for decades. Just Sayin’
Same here.
Same here
Love the rant. My vet told me in 2019 that my dogs heart was enlarged because of the grain free dog food. I switch her food several times and she started sneezing, getting warts all over her, eyes tearing, etc. I finally gave up trying and now make her food and she has bounched back her peep in her step. She is so much happier.
Fda doesn’t care unless they get paid.
Oh they care… they care enough to get you sick off of the stuff they pass off in food so that you can get on the poisonous drugs they push. In turn getting them paid! It’s truly evil.
I literally fired my vet 2 years ago after I took my new puppy to her, she asked me what she was being fed. I told her I make my own food and add some grain free kibble. She proceeded to shame me and told me I was a bad pet parent for giving my baby grain free kibble. I left her office and never returned. I now currently do my own vaccinations for all my pets and everyone is healthy and strong… grain free and all…
Great idea. I have been in the pet industry for 20 years. It's all been made up by the information that jusy.mentions. I have been frustrated about the false information.
@@Thedailydog I am glad that you are in the position to reveal the awful truth now, but what took you 20 years?
I am guessing that it was money which is often falsely correlated with happiness and security.
@VelcraDeFang I myself have been talking to a wide variety of people, my petsitting clients have all been receptive to the information I have been able to provide. I wish these big companies didn't have so much power with their $$$$ . It's up to us to help one another, that's why I have been reading a wide variety of pet nutrition and holistic pet health books. I still have so much more I want to learn.
Well done you!..made right decision❤
❤@@Thedailydog
Good video. We live in a corrupt system where money talks.
My dog jack, a maltese, 20 years ago. He was lethargic, etc
Took him to one of the better vets. They pushed science diet. The vet sold us a slew of the can food. We opened it and it was full of mold. I tried to feed better, but he was septic and soon died. That lit a fire under my butt and I studied from the best I could find. My dogs these days are healthy and happy. They eat FRESH 😊
Hi Judy! I’m a huge fan of your guidance!!! Is this your lovely daughter? I could see the resemblance. She’s a strong woman just like you. That’s how I raised my 4 daughters to not take any shit!!! I love hearing you two rant, it’s awesome!!!
"It's so gross that not even mold wants it" 😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly the same with the fast food brand that us Aussies call Macca's....some people filmed experiments for months and not even the bugs touched it.
Lol that's pretty funny but true.
@@forreststrong797 Oh yes. I know. Terrible.
@@ThePetWellnessCoach I have spent a lot of time studying and learning about dog nutrition I really enjoy the subject and I really like making our food and I'm always taking time to learn more and watch videos etc.
I know when I started to learn about kibble I was in total shock I knew it wasn't good but I had no idea it was so bad. Most people have no clue and they see the beautiful advertisements and packaging. Sometimes I wish I didn't know what I know about kibble because people I know like my mom still feed kibble and she's always asking me about various ailments and her constant vet visits and I believe its 90 percent food related. I try to go about explaining politely but its really difficult for some people to understand they've practically been lied to.
My mom and my wife both took a female dog from the same litter just over 10 years ago so they are senior dogs now and my wifes dog has been on raw its whole life and my moms dog on kibble the difference is massive especially these last few years.
But I get the feeling that more and more people are moving to a real food diet especially with all these companies offering pre-made options.
We’re fortunate that our holistic vet, who also practices Chinese medicine, encourages and supports raw feeding. Thank you Dr. Morgan for all your hard work and tenacity battling the myths and big pet food companies. You are a champion!
We don’t have a holistic vet here. Do you know of any Chinese medicine for allergies and mobility/bones? :)
@@crystalmarine no, I’m sorry I don’t. But I do know that Dr. Morgan has a couple of books about holistic care. You may want to check them out. Good luck in your search! 😊
As does my holistic vet. She believes in titres, too. After leaving several other vets, I finally feel at home and at peace that my girls are being cared for well.
That’s great! We love our vet as I am sure you do as well. We do blood titers every year, too. I pray that more holistically trained and minded vets are on the rise as pet parents become increasingly aware of good nutrition, the cons of spaying and neutering, raw feeding and minimal vaccines- I was one of them!
We need to go back to our grandma’s knowledge and always looking for natural and healthy way to live - including our pets because for all that industry money and power is more important then anything else. Thank Dr Judy and family for all you do
My soon to be fired vet showed me the Davis study saying the same thing about grains...funny thing is who sponsored the research?! The main donaters to Davis!!! No thanks guys!
A vet in my actual vet’s office did the same thing to me!!
Like any thinker will say, our biggest problem is not the criminal corporations, it's how the masses here ACCEPT it all.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised this has happened with pets. Look how brainwashed ppl are about their own doctors and health care! Americans believe anything a person with letters behind their name tells them, despite evidence to the contrary. Smh!
I knew that was a bunch of crap!!! Glad you are bringing this to light!! Thank you!!
I have 4 dogs. 3 Akitas and I labadoodle.
1 Akita wouldn't touch it I had to fancy it up
2nd had a seizure
3 Akita lost hair
Labdoodle would vomit
I didn't think to much about it until my Akita had a seizure
I switch to making my own dog food 2 months ago and immediately my Akita started growing his hair back, no more seizures and no more vomiting.
PURINA WAS KILLING MY DOGS
I'll never listen to the bull crap that the FDA says! Raw feeding my cats and dogs.
Thank you Dr J. Morgan for all your hard work, dedication and for helping us understand and read between the lines. Absolutely love you
Yesterday my dog got her first home made meal she licked on me for half an hour did circles around her plate! Licked it clean!
Thank you so much for what you are doing! Thank you from bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Update: We put her normal can food and our home made down and she ate all the home made of coarse! She keeps giving us more n more kissies and licks and love. She must have really hated all those dog foods. So much money trying to get her to eat. Her eyes are so bright in just a few days!
When you see a sign informing people to tell vet what brand of dog and type on the form
It’s a clear sign vet knows what is going on…
It’s up to us to protect our pets just like it’s up to us too protect ourselves 😢😢😢
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!!! I am a petstylist and have been telling clients this for years. I am sharing this everywhere I can and encouraging my clients to watch to debunk the lies that the vets here have been telling them to increase their sale of these poisonous foods. Again, THANK YOU!!
FDA is worthless. I made dog food cause vet recommended purina pro and all my dogs were sick and coats were terrible. They started feeling and looking better all lost weight back to what they should be. Vet said the food was working they looked good. I told him they were all sick from it and I made their food. He shamed me. I laughed
My GSD was diagnosed with DCM in 2017. He was eating grain free kibble in the morning and raw at night. The vets made me feel like I was responsible for his sickness because I was feeding “boutique food”, they called. My dog stayed in the hospital for 3 weeks, he wasn’t eating and his health was deteriorating. I start visiting him at feeding time and bring cooked food. He bounced back and came home with thousands of medicines.
Vet instruction was to feed him PPP, I bought a bag… but couldn’t feed him that, instead he was feed not kibble at all. Raw and cooked food. The vets gave him 6 months as his heart was too big and not pumping right. He lived 3.5 years.
Our hearts knew better ❤
My vet got mad at me a couple of years ago and told me there were studies showing pets do better with grains. Now I know where the study, bs, came from. I make my dogs food. They eat what I eat.
So which is better grain or grain free?
Grain free? My vet said yes to grain. What's up?
@leewashaleski7719 grains are carbs. Maybe a small amount wouldn't hurt. If my dogs get carbs, it is through a few fresh veggies. Mine eat meat, and some organ meat, lightly cooked.
Good Job!
I get those consultations every day! Pet owners struggling with their pet's coat, skin, etc condition ... but won't upgrade the food because of what the vet says. It's so heartbreaking.
People trusts vets. Just not enough vets promoting the right nutrition.. nutrition. 😅
My dog has been on raw food for a month now since my cat passed away from most likely purina. Dog is doing great, her stool is better, skin is better, not as dry and she has better energy. I suggest everyone that has a dog get a meat grinder and make your own foods
I agree ☝️
My now previous vet (for various reasons) pushed kibble with grain, explaining that predators ate the intestines of grain eating prey before eating any other part. Became offended when I countered with "are they not eating the liver, etc first, and not the intestines??"
I'm curious about what grains the prey are eating. I'm going by in the wild, not farm raised. Deer eat grass, clover, alfalfa, apples, probably corn, but do they eat wheat? Cows are like deer, but do they eat corn in a field? Chicken eat bugs and grasses, and I think rodents. I don't know anything about pigs/hogs/boar. I don't know if any of them would eat rice in a field. I just doubt prey animals eat many grains at all.
I just fired my Vet. She misdiagnosed my chow chow. Unnecessary surgery then she got mad at me when I told her I make my own dog food. No more kibble for my dog.
I feed my guy raw and have for 4 years, he’s 10 and has the energy he had when he was a pup. Decided to not listen to my vet at the time…. Glad I did. Yeah “safe & effective” now means run the other way!
300 million pets on grain free and only 500 pets get sick….. I completely agree with that sentiment. But, same can be said about your latest report of Purina food making pets sick. Hundreds of Million of pets being fed Purina brand foods and only 500-1000 pets were reported as sick. Alllllllll of this is confusing
When the original study came put, I read the study. The vets specifically stated that they could not make a definitive link between diet and CDM. They even said that they could not recommend owners change the diet of their dogs. I never understood why it blew up when the original study made it clear there was no true link.
You guys are the best 👌
I’m going to assume this is the same for cats? They aren’t out shucking corn or harvesting wheat to eat.
Cats are obligate carnivores should eat ONLY meat.
I feed Primal because it's grain, legume & lentil free but now its on the list of foods that might be causing illness. IDK what to feed anymore.
I have clients who feed commercial foods and I'm trying to get them switched to mire biological appropriate foods, I am not sure that primal is a culprit, sometimes when switching from kibble to raw, it can present harder for the body to recognize because the gut microbiome needs to detox and rebalance. Hard to say, that's just my opinion. Love raw feeding tho
I started Sundays for dogs, but it is to expensive, and my dogs look hungry while on it, so I am switching to Carna4. Hopefully, will be good for them.Previously I was giving them Orijen
it never made sense to me when vets and pet store workers mentioned that grain free diet leads to heart issues
We had a pet Supplies franchise and when the DCM issue was so big, I still encouraged my customers buy grain free. I didn’t agree with the FDA.
I’ve never worked in the veterinary field but was educated in the medical field. Therefore I had enough knowledge about nutrition to disagree with the manufacturers and the FDA.
Unfortunately we had a franchise and we’re obligated to follow their procedures and direct customers by the FDA findings. I never did but some of our employees who couldn’t think for themselves followed.
I’m so thankful for the info you provide! Since I switched my cats diet from dry kibble and canned wet food from these major brands to almost fully home cooked chicken turkey and beef liver they have so much more energy far cleaner healthier looking poops and far less puking almost none since the change. Thank you!
So many vets NEVER ASK what the dog eats!!!
Pet Owners, if you want a healthy animal, you must do research on your own. Most of our Vets have been mislead, you should know that by now. You need to learn yourself how to properly care for your animal. I would never again put my dog's life into the hands of another and not question anything. Never ever again.
The FDA is allowing Insulin makers to add micro teeny tiny self assembling rubber dots into HUMAN insulin, long lasting time release. So imagine what is happening to dogs and cats insulin! I am feeding my little guy home made dog food in my instant pot. I just stopped Merrell beef and sweet potato on the list. He poops less and loves it more. Thank you for truly caring about our fur babies.
Waste oils…omg! That’s dangerous
I had no idea. My vet has Luca GS Dog my assistance K9 on Hills I/d since 2018
Now she is dying! I have a 3 Hour Drive one way to get Luca to internal medicine. I hope she makes it.
Vets have failed me horribly.
And then I had a receptionist from Las Vegas veterinary specialist Center portray that she was a doctor, I found out yesterday she’s a receptionist.😶
Where there is chaos, there is evil .
Thank you for this update!!!!!! Yes most vets press you to not feed grain free pet food. I nod and move on
Ty for your hard work , dedication and activism. We need you. Ty
Thank you for the information, knowledge is power. The more informed we are, the better choices we can make. That being said, I hate when companies conspire to mess over the public for profit.
Funny you should mention this…I thought I’d finally found a decent vet that didn’t push vaccines or prescription diets however last time we were in the vet he mentioned getting my dog on grains…what for it…for weight loss….lmfao you wont loose any weight eating grains!
He wants more of your money and a sick dog to care for
It’s money 😢
I never waste time listening to what the FDA has to say.
Thank you AGAIN, ladies! Such good points made, with specific data to support them.
My vet got so upset when I told her I was feeding my dog a grain free food! I will never tell her that he now eats raw 😂
If my German Shepherd assistance aid working, Dog could make the 23 Hour Drive to Boundary Bay in Bellingham, Washington to help her heart. I would head there now.!!!
Animal care is broken just like all things in USA.
I also went to veterinarians emergency group .
That facility and establishment is a façade. $4000.00 later and dog not received any relief for heart condition.
SYSTEM BROKEN
Dogs don't need legumes or grain. If plant protein is used to replace animal protein I believe it can contribute to heart disease. Dogs need adequate amounts of taurine and other amino acids to support the heart that only come from meat. By replacing meat with legumes, potatoes or any other crappy ingredient, this means they are getting less of the good stuff that only comes from meat. The whole grain vs grain free argument is missing the whole point. Dogs need meat, bone and organs.
My vet used the argument that dogs are omnivores and not carnivores…I agree that up to 20% of the stomach contents of wolves is plant matter however…this is from the stomachs of their kills as well as munching on some grasses for added Fiber….YOU WILL NEVER SEE A WOLF STALK A POTATO.
It was actually included in the FDA reporting that they had narrowed the scope to pulses/legumes in grain free diets as the possible issue - so they do mention that.
Dogs can make their own taurine from other amino acids (but cats cannot). Some dogs might need taurine supplementation if they're found to be deficient. However, of course you're right that dogs need meat, bone, and organs, and do not need the cheap "meat replacements" that Big Pet Food is selling.
@ravelanone9462 I know dogs can make taurine but I still believe they are meant to get some from meat along with other important amino acids.
I sell All Provide, Pup Loaf & OC Raw at my little pet store. I also sell kibble because most people are not willing to go raw unfortunately. I recommend they watch your videos all the time! Actually some of my customers had you as their Veterinarian.
I have an Earthwise Pet Store in Mantua, NJ. If you are ever in the area stop by and check out my little store. Thank you for all the videos you post it really helps me help my customers and their fur babies. If I can't get them on raw I do my best to atleast get them on something better then Purina, science Diet and so on. Thanks again 😊
Didn't you know as a chicken owner that was feeding Purina feed quit laying....
I ran across a CAR (Corrective Action Report) issued to Mars, by the FDA. I searched for hours and found no evidence that the CAR was ever closed out. It had something to do with their plant. To my recollection, there were holes in the walls where critters were free to enter. I think that there was some debris (maybe plastic bits) found in the food. It was about 5 years ago, but I remember thinking that if they did not fix their issues, they should have been shut down. If I had found this today, I would have been on the phone with the FDA to find out what happened. (Getting a little more assertive in my old age)
For clarification, CAR could mean Corrective Action Request. (I used to run Reports when working for the government. CARs were issued to contractors).
I know this is over a year old now and a re-post - but, interesting that you are re-posting this now with all that is going on in the dog food debate circles.
I was saying the DCM thing was "off" back then and saying over and over that "correlation is not causation", and taking flack for it (as I have worked in vet med as a vet tech).
But I am also saying that same thing and taking flack right now for what y'all are saying on the current topic of heated debate.
"Correlation is NOT causation."
Dr Morgan said at roughly 8:52 that 500 reports out of roughly 160 million dogs is insufficient data, and I agree.
Well, Purina alone claims to feed over 100 million dogs and cats per year in the US - so roughly 1500 reports out of over 100 million (more if you include the other brands) is insufficient data to say food is the issue with what is being claimed in a certain circle of people right now as well. It is, statistically, zero. (Although not zero to those who blaim the food for their dogs ills, admittedly.)
Dr. Morgan also said it was wrong to have a list of "bad" companies without proof when it came to DCM, yet that same group mentioned above that Dr. Morgan is a contributor to is doing just that right now with a list of companies they are claiming are causing health issues that they cannot prove are causative. So it does seem to be a bit of confirmation bias induced "they are wrong to do it, but we are right because we are just." [EDIT: And now that group is saying ALL pet food is bad and tainted if it is not one of the handful of raw companies they list as the "good guys" creating all kinds of unnecessary FUD.]
Correlation is NOT causation. Intellectual consistency is also good.
(I do feel Dr. Morgan means well though - and is acting with good intentions.)
Glad your not my med tech.
I’m wearing my tin foil hat I go off on tangents about how we’re being poisoned.
I think the Taste of the wild grain free kibbles has changed their ingredients, because my dog that cannot eat grains which cause yeast inflection in her ears, has developed severe ear inflection the past half a year. Now I change the food to Zignature grain free, her energy level increase and her alertness improve on the second day of the change.
Dr. Judy maybe you can interview some people from the waste oil industry. I would love to hear that!
My doberman Niko was diagnosed with DCM when he was 5. I fed him Orijin and Acana his whole life. Passed 2 years later after I spent thousands at the cardiologist. I am 99.99% sure it was genetic.
Just got a dobbie pup (DNA test indicates 1 copy of the DCM2 gene). Was told to avoid PULSE, but I transitioned her to raw meats and fresh fruits and veggies (mostly organic) plus supplements.
Some bought and some homemade... I noticed that her freeze dried raw food has taurine listed (last ingredient though).
***I am not a dog nutritionist,*** but I will not feed my pup corn, rice, peas, or these grain inclusive dog foods that are nothing but ultra processed carbs with farm factory animal waste and leftover grease.
I consider this my own "experiment." My first doberman lived to 13 and ate "junk" pet food, people foods, (even stole a pumpkin pie from the countertop at thanksgiving). He had several fatty tumors and I wondered if it was related to GMOs so I changed the diet of my next pup.
My second doberman, Niko, ate "boutique" pet food and no people food. Passed at 7 from DCM.
My new pup will eat a nutritionally balanced appropriate raw diet and have minimum exposure to endocrine disrupters. My Goal is to improve her longevity and wellbeing. She eats quail, duck, and chicken eggs from my own birds and plays in the dirt to boost her microbiome. I also alternate her probiotics to give her microbiome diversity. I use castile soap (and nothing with the word "fragrance" in it) for her baths and she smells and looks wonderful. I am doing my best with the knowledge I have, but I will take any additional advice into consideration.
PS Just purchased organic ground beef 93% buy one get one free ($4.50/lb each final price) and organic ground turkey for $2 ($9off) for anyone wondering if switching from big brand foods is expensive. Hope this helps someone out there.
Thank you Dr. Judy for making a difference. We appreciate your efforts and I am very grateful for the work you do.
What else do you give your dog besides the meat?
@@carriemartin4837 Hi. I began the transition from the breeder’s kibble to Nature’s Logic Distinction. I added some Primal freeze dried raw puppy food as a topper. I tried adding frozen raw, but she had diarrhea so I waited a bit on that.
Now I give her Primal freeze dried raw, we feed raw brand food (meat, chicken, lamb, turkey etc). From the grocery store I give her ground meats, organ meats, sardines in water, blueberries, pumpkin purée, apples, eggs (quail, duck, chicken from my own birds), beef liver freeze dried treats, boiled chicken, dog vitamins, probiotics, carrots, broccoli, strawberries, and any dog friendly fresh Whole Foods I have. PS: I only give her about her paw size worth of liver. Too nutrient dense and I don’t want to over do on fat soluble vitamins (ADEK) because she can’t just excrete them in her urine like water soluble vitamins. Hope this helps.
If dogs needed to eat grains you would see them in the cow pasture.
Shucking corn too
@@rampantmantis2788 there are, technically, videos of wolves (and coyotes) doing just that - pulling down corn ears and eating the grains off the cobs - there are also videos of packs clearing out whole fields of berries as well
@@JesseDavis but not all grain. They mainly eat meat. If you put a raw steak 🥩 or ear of corn in front of a dog they will choose the meat first. Yes, they can eat other things, but is it good for them? Just like us, we can eat sugar and tons of carbs that turn into sugar, but is that good for us? No
@@GermanShepherdDaphneYes - it is good for them, just like us - but just like us, they are healthy at certain levels and unhealthy at others. If you fed your dog only steak they would have all kinds of nutritional deficits - same with corn, or any one thing by itself. Many studies have shown that wolves eat a ton of stuff other than prey. From the International Wolf Center: "Various studies of scat from the 1970s through the 1990s revealed fruit such as cherries, berries, apples, pears, figs, plums, grapes and melon in wolves’ diets ... " others have shown they eat other plant matter and even grains, grasses, and seeds. [And Maned Wolves specifically eat a lot of vegetables and fruits along with a lot of insects.] That is not to say that wolves diets are not largely made up of prey - but to say that don't eat a lot of other stuff too is incorrect. People grossly oversimply these things too much. Everything can turn to glucose in your system - simple sugars just spike your blood sugar levels where other things convert at a slower rate and are also used in other ways by the body.
Creating Glucose
Carbohydrates consist of molecules of sugar, which your body digests into glucose and uses for energy. When you're short on carbs, glucose can be created from fat and protein in a process called gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis takes place mostly in your liver, which also has the job of maintaining a steady amount of glucose in your blood. If blood sugar drops too low due to problems in the liver, your kidneys can boost blood sugar by converting the amino acid glutamine into glucose.
Metabolizing Fats
The saturated and unsaturated fats in your diet consist of two substances bound together: glycerol and fatty acids. During digestion, they're separated, and each one follows a different path. Glycerol is easily metabolized and used to make glucose. Fatty acids are carried to tissues throughout your body, where they help build cell walls, produce hormones and digest fat-soluble nutrients. Fatty acids can be converted into another substance called acetyl CoA, which is used to create energy, but they're not turned into glucose.
Turning Protein into Glucose
After you eat protein-containing foods, they're digested and broken down into individual amino acids, which cells then use to rebuild new proteins. Amino acids also have a variety of other jobs, such as helping to produce neurotransmitters and antioxidants. Your body can use all of the amino acids except lysine and leucine to make glucose. Some of the amino acids have the ability to become glucose and fatty acids, while lysine and leucine can only be used to synthesize fatty acids.
PS WHERE CAN WE PRINT OFF THAT PAPER TO TAKE TO THE VET?!?!
You would do more good by sharing this video and information with pet parents, not your vet. Veterinary medicine is just as corrupt as our heathcare system.
@@shaunamicheleRecently had a cat die. When I asked the vet about treating his illness with CBD oil, she said Veterinarians weren’t allowed to even discuss CBD. Helped me realize how controlled they are.

@@shaunamichele yes, thank you❣️ Been following him for many years. Bought some of the nutrition he sold for my daughter’s dog , and was very pleased.

So when is the class action?
I guess that explains the presence of grains in Rx diets. After spending lots of money and believing that those diets had a purpose, I read the ingredients list. I was in the waiting room and read the list on a few cans and wondered why they had corn, surely GMO.
As someone in finance who has done lots of analysis you can do a study and make it look like how you want on anything. That’s why first thing you need to look who sponsored it , how many people or animals in the study , where the selection is from, etc …and largely never trust them because they are paid for by the drug companies or another company that is a conflict of interest.
My 13 yr old dog died yesterday morning. I’m so distraught. I wish i had been more careful with kibble (i always bought the expensive brands), and vaccines and flea/tick meds. I keep feeling so guilty for not knowing any better 😞
I understand your pain. Lost my dog 1 yr ago and I too tried to be so careful. Hard to know what to do.
So sorry for your loss. Do not feel guilty! You did the best you could with what you were told... you loved your dog and gave him your best efforts. Now you are learning and can take better care next time.
I lost my former pup 3+ years ago and went through the same questions... he had a brain tumor which was unusual for his young age. I questioned what I could have done better... the neurologist put me at ease. Now my better Angels are guiding me to a healthier diet for my new rescue. You are here now for your next pup. ✨️💖✨️

@@flagstanding8773 ohhh thank you ❤️🩹 so sorry about your dog! What helped you dealing with the loss?
@@user-sv6rk1xp2e Time helps. I am still grieving, but it gets better and I can say his name sometimes without tears now. I am trying to learn as much as I can so I can do better with my current dog. I know I did my best at the time with my last dog. I just didn't know any better.
I have been coaching people for years!!!!!! They are so scared that their grain only vet crap diets will go in the landfill. Lol. Oh judy what can we knowledge ones do??? "Bangs head on wall"
I only give my dog organic grains once n awhile. The reason why is because rice and wheat r saturated with round up during the growing season. She also gets organic meat. Our dogs aren't vegetarians. I also look out for carrigeegan n her food as it's a carcinogen.
I am sorry for my qustion, but would like to know, what is ancient grains?
Thank you for EVERYTHING!!! Love you so so much, Dr Judy!! Ive been cooking everything for my guys since the beginning of 2021. Its been a slow process but, Stellas kidneys went from a very grim outlook in June to about 30% better present day ❤❤ They'll be 13 in March.
The horrible deaths that took place in 2018-19 from melamine... my best reference the food is think of eating a magic eraser. We don't know if my 9 year old sheltie (their mom) congestive heart failure was due to tainted kibble since she was eating some of the brands. Aspergillosis we feel may have taken our Liam (10 and pretty healthy prior) since the kibble was recalled and taken off the shelves for severely high levels of Aspergillus.
It's criminal what these companies do all for $$.
Exactly how many negative reports have there been? And what brands were made where the truck was parked? And when was that truck picture taken?
It's all about profit! FDA influenced by large pet food companies 😔🤷♀️
could not find FDA december 23 statement - could you link it ?
The statement was made in December 2022: www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/outbreaks-and-advisories/fda-investigation-potential-link-between-certain-diets-and-canine-dilated-cardiomyopathy
@@DrJudyMorgan was searching 2023 😉 thank you 🙏
Monopolies are alive and well in America. They are doing the same to our food, and grocery stores.
I will tell you what happened to my dogs, my female Boxer had a previous echo done for other reasons on her heart it read as normal. I started avgrain free diet with her a year later due to allergies the food was labeled a venison/ lentil formula I had also a one year old male Boxer both were fed the same diet after a year of feeding this food my female started collapsing took her back to Vet she was diagnosed DCM I was told it’s a Boxer thing she died despite my best efforts and treatment 3 months later. Soon after my male started collapsing took him in he also turned out to have DCM as well. He also died within 3 months from the same thing! My dogs were not related at all. I found out my males father had a genetic form of DCM was the main reason he got it, but his father still is alive at 10 the difference being his father was never fed grain free dog food. This is all the evidence I needed to decide my current dogs will never ever be fed grain free dog food. They were both fantastic dogs I will never get over their loss not as long as I live!
I'm so sorry to hear this, boxers are the sweetest. We adopted our senior blind boxer from a Boxer Rescue org two years ago and per the adoption agreement they made us promise NOT to feed our boxer any food with legumes (chickpeas, lentils, etc.), pulses, nor potatoes (including no sweet potatoes) in it per that concerning DCM study as these foods are possibly problematic (taurine is another possibility). It's been challenging to find foods that he does ok on that don't have those ingredients, but we are honoring the avoiding that bc he seems at risk for DCM and who knows what he's eaten all these years already. Did a short experiment with him on ONLY raw food and he did GREAT - his coat looked better right away, he had more energy, etc. but it's definitely a learning curve for us to try to manage, a balance but we are trying to navigate the best options with a mix of kibble and raw meat. I wish you all the best with your current pups! 💟🐶
@@freedomthroughspirit Thank you for your kind words I appreciate it! And thank you for rescuing a Boxer that really needed help that was wonderful!
🤣 that intro❤️🔥
When a new medication comes out, the manufacturer gives their “study” to the FDA & gives them 8 million. The FDA tells them, if they don’t hear back from them, go ahead & put the medication on the market. The manufacturer says they’ll make enough $ at first to cover the legal fees when lawsuits arise. Isn’t this like putting the wolf in charge of the chicken coop? If they do this to human medications, how can you think it’s not the same with dog food?
Wow never knew wolves sat and chilled out ate such pass the salt plz 😂 crazy What about the people food not surprised on such issues with any food chase the $$$$$
Thank you! Question: would the red light therapy help a chihuahua with collapsing trachea? And how would I know if I bought a real red light or not? Enjoyed your coarse I bought!!!
I think the big brands are trying to get the smaller companies in bad positions to buy them out
Only grazing animals need grains to live. Why because they do not have canine, feline, sharp teeth for eating meat. Their flat for grinding grains. Common sense people. Vets also get donations for selling or pushing their food.
So we should give our dogs grain free food ? Or with grains fog food?
Yep, true, the kibbles in Europe have to have accurate percentages of food items labelled....unlike the sh.t show here in the US. Thank God we don't have your FDA.... PS: Farmina, available in the US, is from Italy, (and Slovenia, Albania, Brasil, I think) and they should have that labelling. If it doesn't have it, inquire why..
A grain free food where the majority of protein comes from legumes or a food containing grains where most protein comes from animals. Hmmm...which would I choose? Neither. However, if I had to choose I would go with the one with more animal protein.
This video is over a year ago . Like watching 2 hens .
Since when is ultraprocessed, garbage kibble "TRADITIONAL"??? What a lie! What's traditional for dogs, for thousands of years? I would think meat, bones, eggs, small animals, and whatever else the dog chooses when he scavenges outdoors in nature.
My dog past of DCM 12 years and 9 months and I was feeding him a grain free diet, while my ex husband had his dad and was not feeding him a grain free he lived 15 years, my mother has his brother currently and he is 14 years and 9 month and my mother does not feed him grain free either.
I'm feeding my dog with 50% pup loaf and 50% grain free salmon kibble because of his itching. The Vet did a skin scraping and there were no mites or known causes.
He loves the kibble I'm feeding him mixed with 1/4 cup raw goat milk... but I want an even healthier brand. So, I purchased the list and am buying a grain free kibble I can afford from the list.
I found a new veterinary office with all Vets practicing integrative medicine, but won't know what food they suggest until my dog's first visit. He'll likely need allergy testing, eventually because his fur is coming out... after vaxes, wh I ch I suspect is the culpret.
I notice you have cavaliers , I have a 4 years cavalier that was diagnosed with I B D only can eat noble meats and they recommended add grain . I cook Aligátor with sweet potatoes , brócoli , brown rice or quinoa , and alligator. The vet said cavaliers need grain . Any diet recommendations? Please.
You can find free recipes on her website. Also, not sure if you watched the video or not because they are explaining that dogs and cats do not need (and it is preferred not to feed) grains. Vets have been told they need to have dogs and cats on grains because of the pet food industry.
So I am a bit confused is 4 health poor food I started adding boiled chicken breast to their food but I have not had any issues of vomiting ,diarrheal, etc. ??
Made by Diamond, not a fan.
So coincidental. Sigh.
I said “follow the money” when the DCM BS started.
❤ You discovered the biggest scam against humanity! Sadly our processed foods has ingredients that should be in our food as well. For example tylenol, asprin and
Ibuprofen all have titanium dioxide! I can't believe I fell for grains again. I'm allergic to grains myself. I lost my beloved Blue.😢
Can we please talk about cat health more than we do? Thanks.
My sentiments, exactly. Very, very frustrating!
@@eternalhellfortyrants8561 yes ... I'm trying to learn .. and really pet food .... Is Dog food discussion. And the same goes for vaccines. Discussions ... In other videos ... We're about Pet vaccines however it was really Only about Dog vaccines... What is going on??!! Why is there not proper discussion of cat health!?
$$$$$ talks. From Food manufacturers to the FDA should be ashamed of themselves and should care about our animals. Maybe the USHS should be targeting these food companies. But that would be too big for the to handle.
Feed nature's logic no synthetic NOTHING that can kill your pet not all the grains. My German Shepherd does amazing on it or carna4 both make dog and cat food
NOT ALL DOGS THAT DIE ARE NOT ALL FROM PURINA...
I'm sure wolves and wild cats grow grains to eat, so our dogs and cats need to grow them too to eat.
You mean conspiricy facts😉
I am a conspiracy "theorist" and proud of it, much better then a dumb following sheep, beeeehhh, lol.
And i think the name should be conspiricy factionist ( just made up a new word) lol.
Hi, can my dogs eat chicken skin?
SERIOUSLY that women with the dark hair, SUPER ANNOYING!
