mi vecino tuvo un perro pastor alemán y vivió 21 años, también dice que nunca le dió comida para perros, él comía lo mismo que el resto de la familia humana, y otros casos parecidos conozco y todos coinciden en lo mismo, nada de comida para perros, comer lo mismo que la familia humana. La comida para perros produce cáncer. También el agua del grifo en muchas ciudades produce cáncer, porque le ponen demasiada lejía, hay que dar agua de botella.
AMEN. At age 6 my weimeraner was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given six months to live with coventional cancer treatment. I refused the treatment and for almost a decade she lived well and youthful with her stage 4 cancer and remained active chasing balls and frisbees well into her 15th year due to dietary changes. The expected lifespan for the breed is about 8 years. I doubled her lifespan for her breed in spite of stage 4 cancer. My sweet Bella passed August 24, 2017 at 14.75 years old. She was humanely euthanized. Her last week was difficult but was still eating well and was actually a bit overweight when she passed at 68 lbs. She was good up to end and I attribute that to a clean healthy diet.
Nice! I love the story since it's so relatable to my dog. 17 year old American Dingo that we found in the desert as a couple month old pup in a litter of 3 (all deceased). Early 2019 he collapsed 3 times in 20 minutes. Emergency vet that day gave him a cancer prognosis, severe heart murmur, fluid around the heart, severe anemia so bad that they wanted to do a transfusion or put him down. I refused and took two permanent meds for his heart and lungs and we went home. A month later I decided to take him up north and get a cabin for one last time and pulled him off the meds. While up north, I had a few drinks one night and sat on the patio with my dog laying in my arms and I just held him and cried. This dog has been through so much with me over the past 17 years. The next day, everything seemed so clear to me of what I needed to do so I hit the books then and put my professional skills to work. You see, I am a self employed chef of 12 years and have 35 years in the restaurant industry. I both my dogs off of the natural kibble I thought was so good but knew deep down that it wasn't. After two weeks of that I finally started them on a diet that I made entirely from scratch. Developing recipe after recipe, watching hundreds of videos from holistic veterinarians and learning as much about canine nutrition as I possibly could. 8 months later, I brought him back to that same vet one day who was shocked that he was still alive. She did blood work, did an ECG and was fascinated to see that he was actually recovering and his health was substantially better. His anemic blood count was back to normal, the murmur not nearly as pronounced and well, there's a lot more to that but let's just say that it's 10 months since that original diagnosis and he's doing great.
My mini schnauzer is almost 21 years old. I thank this video for that daily. When people ask me what i did? I refer to this video. This is a very good man
My mini is one and has nothing but stomach problems on hard food, when I make chicken and rice just fine, can I ask what you feed yours. He's my world my best buddy, my baby. Want him to be healthy and happy.
@kathymiller6808 I fed my daisy a bit of rice and cooked dog senior food. (When she turned 20) because she needed the fiber for her poop to be normal. Before that I fed her bison meat and cooked tongue and hearts and livers n such. But eventually her belly started having a hard time breaking those down. Verrrrry small amount of rice for fiber. Senior dog blend (of a reputable dog food company) and ensure its nice boiled but with only a small amount of water. So that the foods not too watery. Because then she gets watery poo We celebrated her 21st birthday on the 24th of December. 17 days later I had to watch her leave my care. I love her very much. I am happy she chose to stay with me so long. And I look forward to seeing her again, when I have enough stories of my time to rival hers
I just lost my dog to a very sudden, aggressive cancer. When I noticed his health was fading, I started cooking his food myself. I believe he lived another 14 months. I'll never feed a commercial dog food ever again.
LOVE IT! Why people are so blind to the obvious reality - if we are healthier on natural food why on earth would our pets be any different. It's madness.
My dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and lived another 8 months after I changed her from processed commercial wet food to a homemade organic diet. She passed yesterday but this lesson will definitely stay with me when I am ready to adopt another dog.
Also remember that certain veggies and fruits are toxic to dogs. Anything from the Allium family (onions, garlic, scallions and leeks) are quite toxic. Also grapes.
If I ever get another dog, fresh food will be the main diet. My beloved shih tzu was 17, and pretty healthy despite not having a perfect diet. She may have lived quite a bit longer, but in the end the slipped disc in her back several years earlier was making it so hard for her to get around. She was sad and frustrated she couldn't go for a walk anymore. I carried her around a lot the last 6 mos. But she was miserable and put her to sleep 3 weeks ago. Hardest thing ever .
Very important! I used to feed my husky Gohan straight kibble food since the first day I got him and for about 6 months. He was now around 1 year old, and I changed his diet and started to add more fresh foods. I switched his kibble brand to a higher quality one and mixed some fresh foods in there. I can already spot the change in everything about him. From a healthy looking coat, to even how he behaved. I truly believe if you want your dog to live longer and be healthier overall, please don't feed your dog only kibble. Add some fresh foods. If you do decide to use kibble, try getting a high quality brand. Quality over quantity! It will make a real difference!!
I'm not a vet and I don’t sell anything, I’m a proud pet parent of 3 beautiful dogs. I’m an advocate of the Prey Model & Biologically Appropriate Raw Food Diets and run a Facebook Group As Nature Intended. I’ve had holistic vets, conventional raw fed vets, researchers, trainers, breeders, nutritionists and, of course, carers from all over the world join the group. If you're looking for ways to help prolong your pets life or heal your long life friend, then removing all harmful toxins from their body, making a few changes in and around the home while feeding them one of these diets is certainly a good start. Perhaps your considering on making the transition, but wish to learn how, when and what to feed, or you're looking for guidance, hints and tips on raw the diet. If you wish to learn the benefits of foods suitable, how to prevent and treat different ailments, alternative medicine in treating and prevention and much more, then this informative group is there for you and your pets facebook.com/groups/324599134386758/
Thank you so much Rodney. I'm the owner of a 14 and a half year old German Shepherd mix just dionosed with liver cancer. Searching the internet for a way to halt or reverse it I found this. As of today my fur baby is eating a raw meat, berry, leafy greens diet. May she live to her twenties. God bless you and your sweet dog

my dog (leo) passed on october 29 2022 due to a sudden cardiac arrest, he was 9 years old but was as healthy as a 3 year old dog, he was able to run, bark, play fetch and even drooled all over my slippers when i was'nt looking on the day of his death, he was just coming back from a walk, as his leash was being removed, he was wagging his tail and just suddenly, he wailed in pain and collapsed, before we even understood what happened, he was gone, he stopped breathing, his tongue turned white due to lack of circulation, his pupils unresponsive to light the house is extremely quiet without him and the silence is gut wrenching the pain is unbearable and i am feeling devastated, every little thing reminds me of him and i feel overwhelmed with grief and guilt if only i had seen this nine years ago... he could still be with me
Helmet on grass….I am doing the same in my now quiet home, seeing my beloved Molli who passed away at the end of Oct 2022. She’s everywhere I walk and look. It is an indescribable sadness.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your baby Leo , that is heartbreaking 💔 sending prayers and love and hugs your way.. I lost my baby Sassy 1 month ago today she was 12 years old died in my arms she quit breathing I tried to save her but couldn’t and im so lost I’m barely getting through each day. My routine is messed up I talked to her everyday about everything and now it’s empty 😭🥺😩 it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was let her go to the vet after I wanted to keep her forever it hurt so bad 😢they are family they give us their heart 💜 and we give them ours ❤ 😢I’m broken
My beautiful boy died 3 months ago of nasal cancer and I bawled listening to this. He had IBS and epilepsy and was on all sorts of medications and a special dietary food for his bowels and skin issues. I would have given anything to have him live longer. Everyday is a struggle without him. I wish I had of seen this video 8 months ago. 😭😭😭
My dog recently passed from nasal cancer as well. She was on several medications as well and had seizures on the last days. I started feeding her better but I wish I knew this so much sooner. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's tough but your baby knows you loved them very much.
L.A.Greer @Know this is a late video but read your comment and I feel same on my past 4 dogs but I'm glad that so many others will be saved. I lost my lab recently, even though its been a year im sure you still miss yours, I'm deeply sorry for your loss💕
I lost my 9 y/o pug a yr ago due to pancreatitis and my 13y/o GS suddenly died this past Tuesday night - cancer of the spleen that ruptured and she was bleeding out. I got her to our local ER and Speciality Vet wherein we were given the facts, options and odds. She was such a good girl and I couldn’t prolong her suffering b/c of my fears. My bestest friend passed in my arms. RIP Macy 😢🙏💔🌈🐕🦺
First of all this man isn't trying to sell anything. That should be your first clue. He is citing literature from DVM Jean Dodds book "Nutrigenomics" it is obvious he has a love for dogs and wants to assist other pet owner's too.
Thank you Rodney! My labs actually shown me that they rather eat fresh and unprocessed food than commercial dog food when they were puppies... I then (2012) started investigating and making fresh food and baking nutritious biscuits for them, which led to my little canine bakery business in SA. It is often just good old common sense, science and fresh & wholesome food. Good job!
Our 6-year old rescue mutt was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma 2 years ago with a 3 to 6 week lifespan. Put him on chemo immediately, but also changed his dry food diet to one that is 1/3 premium dry (with grains) plus 2/3 sardines, cottage cheese, egged, dark kale, spinach, broccoli, beans, ground hemp, flax, almond, oat, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds, spirolina, homemade Essiac tea, carrots, beets, chia, parsley, turmeric, and bone broth, with some occasional modifications. Not only has he been cancer free for two years, which is far longer than his prognosis was with chemo, but he is in the best health he’s ever been. While I’m a scientist and always a skeptic, I firmly believe that changing his diet so drastically has kept the cancer from recurring.
Excellent. I switched my cats to a raw diet a few years ago after I became aware that many companies who make pet food are motivated by money, not by making a healthy food for our pets. Dry food is a perfect example.
Right on Sheila, sadly profits are more important than the health concerns for our beloved pets. Cats really thrive on a raw food diet. You will have them around for a long time :-)
Good for you and your cats! I've been feeding raw to both cats and dogs in my care for 25 years, with tremendous results. They have gorgeous coats, don't shed, are calm and well-behaved, and have naturally strong immune systems. Just like us humans, it is NOT necessary to decline on schedule(!)

Brilliant Rodney and thanks for including my research. This will hopefully help a lot of pets! We need to get our beloved pets on the food they were designed for. The rewards are amazing; longer lives and less risk of cancer. We all want that! You're doing a great job highlighting these issues.
Here in Australia our dingo x ridgeback lived to be 17 years old. We walked her on the beach every single day and she ate snacks of all sorts and ate everything and anything. She even tucked into a box of chocolates occasionally and neatly unwrapped every single chocolate without damaging them. She was the best dog and i'll always remember her.
Thank you for doing what you do!!! As a personal trainer, this info is for EVERYONE...not just dog owners! I feed my dog mostly raw, and I'm thrilled knowing he is not taking in the JUNK that dog food manufacturers produce! (Some are certainly far better than others though!) Humans need to recognize themselves in this as well---the pre-packaged crap that people consume on a daily basis IS the cause of their CANCERS!!! You can choose to feed it or starve it....period! :)
I started following Rodney Habib's homemade dog food recipe. The only change I made was cooking all the food first. I also added a bit of raw pumpkin for fiber. My senior Yorkie barks for his food now and runs around in circles at dinnertime.. I noticed the difference immediately in his energy and shiny coat. He also stopped his gagging cough which may be related to better heart health without all the peas and lentils in his former grain free diet. I hope Rodney Habib's recipes add years to my dog's life!
Both my cats and dog are on RAW (kitty is still supplemented with kibble as she is transitioning slower) and and results were amazing. I'm hoping that I can persuade people on my youtube channel to make the switch as well.
Why're u advertising here? >:( If anything, exercise provides longevity. I hate the whole "buy our food and your pet will live longer" lots of showboating with no statistics run by independent/separate companies to back up claims on a product.
Creative Pet Keeping Exactly, theres no advertising here other than adding some fresh food, not processed, to your pets diet. I do this, I make fresh stews for my dogs, or add veggies to my dogs kibble. Its simple logic.
Have the joy of 4 dogs, mama is 16, 3 kids 13. Never fed them any corn containing kibbles,only lamb/chicken and rice, plus table scraps. They like salad except for broccoli spears. One developed hemolitic sarcoma, dread cancer. I use medical cannibis, so I started her on a green juice daily using leaf and root, she is still being a dog a year after diagnosis, our Vet is amazed she is doing so well. My cat chose to leave his body when he turned 21, he liked second hand smoke. I recommend cannabis CBD for animals whose diet and lack of exercise has led to cancer.
This is very important information. And people still act like I don't know what I'm doing even when they see Cookie's getting healthier from home cooked meals. It's insane. People will tell me Cookie looks healthy, then tell me I am feeding her wrong and act like I should go back to feeding kibble
Nice job Rodney! Information that every dog and cat owner can understand and implement. Keep it simple. My guys eat raw and look and act years younger. Make your next TED talk about vaccinations, flea & tick meds, and really get everyone talking.
I just started my boys on home cooked meals. I cannot believe how fast I saw changes. First I stopped dry food that was 46% sugar. Thanks to your video on sugar in kibble. My little boy, Biggie, has colitis and suffers a lot. My heart breaks. I stopped Hills RX digestive care...it wasn’t helping...the amount of horrible painful episodes decreased. His food was actually keeping him sick. I am in the process of compiling information that I will send to Hills...I was so angry that their only motivation is GREED. I couldn’t believe how much sugar and carbs are in their kibble and the lack of nutrition in the can food. I fed them these foods because their Vet said they should be on it. It is not cheap times two dogs...My other boy, Jack, was put on Hills RX Metabolic- Mobility for his back knees starting to show signs of arthritis starting and he was over weight to long. I started feeding him less and exercising him more....he’s down to 13 1/2 pounds where he should be. It was the food. Point being, I kept telling her of my concern about Jack being on tuna for so long. It’s not even good for humans at that amount due to high amounts of mercury. My mind says she’s a Vet...she has to know what’s good for him. He needs the omegas and weight control. So I continued the food...but I couldn’t rest easy. When she told that Hills does extensive research on their RX food and are careful that their top quality foods are good for dogs. Nevertheless, tuna every day was driving me crazy...she says that she didn’t agree that he stop the food...I stopped it anyway..and have no regrets. He is doing well...they both are doing better on home cooked dog recipes and are so eager to eat and at 11 they are very energetic. I make sure he gets the omega he needs...I got the recipes from your videos. Jack had a belly ache one time. But is ok now. I did the slow change over from processed dog food to homemade. I can’t thank you enough for literally saving their precious lives. They are Chi-mix brothers and my life.... you are amazing. I thank you for all your honest information...how these dog food companies and Many Vets can find money more important is beyond my comprehension. Started feeling they keep our beloved pets sick so we have to come back....They need to be held accountable.
When my dog died when he was 15 years old , a question came up which none of the great religions of the world could answer , where do their spirits go , to a dog nirvana ? But one thing is for sure , when I die , I'm going where my dog went .
Jono Jon - I believe we will see our pets again. In my mind, animals and babies are the most innocent things on this earth. God has a place for all his creatures.
Jono Jon @Three yrs. from your comment that I seen this video, I know in my heart that our loved pets go to the same heaven as we do where their waiting for us, why would they not as all animals are pure and innocent as our Father God made them, that's why they don't have to come back to learn as we people do. Please read the book by Sylvia Browne "All Pets Go To Heaven" wonderful book which I have read each time one of my pet passed, I just got done reading it again here recently as of my Lab's passing, it helps some. Sylvia Browne has been deceased for quite a few yrs. now but there's lots of wonderful books that she wrote when she was on earth, I believe she was truly sysic.
Over the past couple of years, I had 2 family members pass away. First it was my dog, then it was my mom. I think about everything both of them were eating. All throughout my growing up, we would feed my dog wet dog food, and a ton of scraps from when we were done eating (which was mainly gristle and other things WE didn't want to eat). My toy poodle only lived to be 11 years old. They aren't supposed to die so young. She had congestive heart failure. My mom ate a lot of sugar and spent so much of her life working and caring for my family that she didn't take much time to exercise or take care of herself. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April 2017 and died on July 31, 2017. She was 56 years old. If that isn't motivation to live healthier I don't know what is.
It should be no surprise that same principles apply to all animals, including humans. Diet is extremely important, and one of the most modifiable factors when it comes to many diseases including cancer.
The one creative I always love to watch is you. Your work is a joy to witness. Good job! Inspiring Rodney! You make all the difference in dogs world!!! Your work translates into happy forever dogs! Whats a dog's way of saying I love you? Loving gazes When a dog gives you long, lingering eye contact, it's a way of saying “I love you.” A recent study shows that oxytocin, the 'love chemical,' goes up in both dogs and humans when they share a kind gaze. The way your dog stares to you!! and this is the most prescious “thank you!”
Great, great talk! More people need to take this under advisement. I've been cooking whole meals for my dogs for the last 12 months. It's amazing how great they are doing since they are seniors. Even a little goes a long way.
If you feed them the food raw (not cooked) you will see even better results since you will maintain important enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. The protein will also not be altered as it will if heated.
Hey Thomas! I work closely with a holistic (Chinese Medicine) vet who doesn't recommend raw for my pups. It can create dampness in the body. But I do agree that some dogs thrive on raw. It's about giving the individual dog (animal) what is best for them. Thanks!
Paula, that's a new one. In all the years I have fed raw I have never heard that. I believe all dogs from small to giant breeds, have a carnivore's digestive system and will thrive on raw. It's impossible in my opinion to build and maintain a healthy immune system and maintain sufficient organ reserves on any other diet than raw. Also, raw food reduces the risk of unwanted gene expressions from altered proteins and nutrients found in commercial dog food, this can lead to horrible diseases like cancer. I have never seen any evidence that contradicts that raw food is beneficial. Keep them on raw and you will extend their life. That's my advice. But, I love Chinese medicine!
Thank you Rodney for spreading the word. Perfect talk about what each pet owners should do when it comes to the diet of their beloved pets. I also recommend watching the interview with Brian (Maggie's owner) thats just amazing. Well done
My dog would eat pretty much anything that I gave her or would steal anything I was silly enough to leave lying around within her reach. (She was a German Shepherd that could look most people directly in the eyes if she was allowed to put her paws on their shoulders so a lot of things were within her reach! Once she managed to steal a whole chicken off the kitchen bench and it was never seen again:) I would steam peas, carrots, corn, green beans and mix it with steamed rice and mix it all up for a few days of meals and give her raw chicken wings, uncooked beef, pork and sheep bones. She lived to be almost 16.
My neighbors dog died was diagnosed and passed (just a few weeks later) from cancer at 6 years old!! My mind was blown at that happening to such a young dog. I mean he was a large breed of dog - so with such a large dog a shorter life span is to be expected - but still the lifespan that particular breed (Rhodesian Ridgeback) is closer to 11 or 12 years.
I made my dog's food since she was a puppy. Most people thought I was crazy but I felt she got better nutrition and I knew what was in her food. I don't think you can blame veterinarians - each pet owner is responsible for their pet's health. All you have to do is read food labels and you see the junk that goes into pet food. Most people are too busy, until their pet gets sick. Do the homework upfront.
¡Gracias Rodney! Gracias por tu iniciativa que definitivamente está cambiando la industria y al mundo de los perros. Thank you Rodney, Thank you for your iniciative, you are definitely changing the industry and the pets world, We need more people like you!
Yep! When you think of all that dry kibble we give our pets, most of that has a lot of grain..grain grown by non-organic industrial standards...so full of glyphosate. We know unequivocally what glyphosate is going to human health. So STOP the grains and kibbles! If you do grains cook organic ones yourself. Excellent work!
This is such amazingly simple information and yet, as many of the comments point out below, money has gotten in the way of health...both in humans and in our beloved pets. My new puppy loves raw meats, cooked and raw veggies and apples!
Thank you for this great info. I have always known this but you give me faith in what I believe. I feed only the highest quality food. I often cook for my dogs. I buy meat on sale and sear just the outside to kill bacteria leaving it very rare. I add veggies and eggs and they love it. I also feed commercial raw on occasion. When we say raw, we need to be careful. Raw that is commercially prepared is tested for bacteria. Meat you buy at the grocery is not, you should sear the outside. I learned this the hard way unfortunately. Check Walmart for packages of organ meats very cheap. Just the other day I bought chicken livers for about 50 cents a pound. I tossed them in a pan to sear the outside, added broccoli, cheese and eggs. I make them a home cooked meal a couple times a week. I lost the love of my life to diabetes. I was stupid. If only I had known. Also do not routinely vaccinate. Once immunity is achieved it generally lasts a lifetime. Puppy shots yes, boosters at one year yes.....then no more.
Dr. Becker says to never buy chicken, turkey or organ meats from Walmart because they inject dyes in the birds & the organs are filled with chemicals & pesticides. Not trying to criticize, just inform. I had no idea until yesterday.
I used to cook for my baby for over 10yrs. She was always very healthy.Then, she had Diabetes at age 11, so, she was on Vegan dry food, but I still gave her all sorts of fresh food such as eggs, sometimes chicken, and she loved fruits and vegi all day. Yes, I thought she would live forever, but, she didn't.(14.5 to be exact)The life expectancy was written before we were born, and the "soul contract" we had with them. I've learned that after her transition. But yes, I still will cook for my next baby, better for them and tastes better.
@@AhItsArah You didn't read what I wrote??? I cooked and baked for her too. Plus all sorts of vitamins. She did NOT suffer from anything. Her blood test was beautiful. Her coat shinning, eyes beautiful, great energy, great heart beat as the vet said few months before her passing, she described her as "fantastic"! By eating all sorts of human food daily is not going to cause any nutrition deficiency.
@Another comment from the long winded woman, I've read several comments and was pleased to see lots from people changing their pets diets to pets with illness who were even as of being sick were becoming healthier and living longer life's, kind of takes the sting out of my stupidity of not knowing, and then too late. Father God Bless All.
Really? Awesome! My Yorkie is 8yo and I always fed her 40% kibble plus 60% fresh food (like veggies, salmon, chicken...). Vets are always amazed by her athletic shape, shiny hair and nice white teeth! It's great to know I've been doing the right thing.
Our Rottweiler Pit bull Mix, Shadow, recently died. He was 22 years old. Often I have wondered what his longevity stemmed from. He did not receive any special diet - he ate regular store bought dog food. I attribute his longevity (at least in part) to the quantity of food he ate. We were always careful not to overfeed him. Until his last year, when he started to get thin, he was always "right sized" for his size. Possibly he might still be with us if he also had a different diet too, but I really feel like the quantity of food that your dog eats is very important.
literally was walking into work yesterday after break and saw someone had a dog in their car. I literally made a face at him, a type of excited face and i almost waved at him lol
My Maltese was thriving on raw meat until she turned 11 and became sensitive to it. I was so sad to take her of it but I replaced it with home made cooked meat and veg and fruits. I have also added bone broth recently. I will say, on this diet, I was able to stop her dry eye medication. I have also reduced her monthly tick drops to once every three months in the summer and none in the winter. I don't give her the yearly recommended jabs either.
Wow! Good for you AND your fur child! Great job! I have an 11 year old fur child who's name is Maggie Mae, and she's a beautiful boxer baby! She's my heart! A few years ago, she really started slowing down to the point of wanting to sleep 24 hours a day. I started doing alot of research and decided to switch her to a fresh food diet from kibble. I had stumbled upon a website called THE TRUTH ABOUT PET FOOD and when I found out how bad kibble is and what AAFCO allows to be used in making dry kibble, I switched her over to a base mix (dehydrated fruits and veggies) and my choice of protein (ground turkey, ground beef, ground bison, etc) and within a two week time span, she became a puppy again, wanting to play, engaging in wanting to meet EVERYONE when on walks or ANYONE coming to our home. She was like a new dog! I'm forever grateful to Rodney, Dr Karen Becker, Dr Judy Morgan and all the other wonderful people who share their knowledge and wisdom for FREE!!! IMHO, my Maggie wouldn't be alive today if I would've kept feeding her dry food that was poisoning her body. I also feed her some very healthy supplements mixed with her food, and she's still going strong, still acting like a puppy and also has lost 10 lbs which she needed to do. So, she's down to her ideal weight!! Also, I became disabled ~ 25 years ago and in the last 7 years, I've lost my ability to walk for more than ~ 20 feet and wasn't able to go for walks with her anymore, so my husband bought me an electric mobility scooter 2 months ago, and now I'm able to walk her EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Anyway, so sorry for such a long reply, but I love to brag about my Maggie, my heart!💔❤️🩹💝💜
Fortunately I didn't believe the vets who recently said dried foods are better than the handmade food I gave my dog. My dog is turning 20 this month. The other are 16 years old when they passed, sadly their son only live to 11 y.o because of dry foods.
first you want to make sure you feed a good quality food, www.dogfoodadvisor.com is a good start. I don't feed kibble anymore, but if you're going to add some fresh food, you can start by giving your dog some lightly cooked meat and organs. Depending on your dog, he may be able to tolerate raw with kibble, but some dogs cant. It's important to remember that dogs dont have the enzyme amylase in their saliva to break down plant matter, so if you're going to add vegetables, it's best to pulverize it in a blender. You can make a batch of something like: -Kale/Spinach -Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries -Carrots -Squash -Kelp or Spirulina -Coconut oil or Fish oils -small amount of raw honey -Bone broth
People are born so they learn to live a good life, like loving the whole time and being cool, right? Well, dogs already know how to do this, so they do not have to stay as long as we do.
Вот и всё..Вот ответы на вопросы жизни животных и людей тоже,мы состоим из того что мы едим..И мать природу не обманешь,только свежие и натуральные продукты.Отличное видео.
What is the optimal diet for them? What foods, and how much? I’ve heard of calorie restriction for longevity, but I’d like more info. Thanks for any additional advice.
My dog of 14 years old was loosing a lot of weight because a bloody diarrhea caused by poor nutrition. I switched to raw meat including, chicken and beef, some vegetables, well cooked salmon. She gained healthy weight, and now she she 15 1/2 years old and looking healthier. Please don’t be afraid and switch to raw food, they will be ok.
this talk is terrific in that it gave me websites to look at for specific information. the ketopet organization doesn't just"add fresh vegetables" to the diet, they feed the dogs a ketogenic diet. that is low carb, high fat. lots of animal fat.
i've always been told that i was crazy to give my dogs vegetables, fruits and raw meat (this last one not that much because where I live is really really expensive)....I knew they were wrong.
Dear Rodney, i have a dog and three cat's. My question is what would be the best food for them other than making special food for them as I'm living on a fixed in-come and forced to live on a monthly budget .if you could recommend a food for them and a probiotic and what veggies and raw meats. Your response is greatly appreciated son, thank you, Andr'e George.
Very few dogs get enough exercise and the right kind of exercise. How many people would like to have their dogs life? Very few people should be allowed to own dogs. The dogs suffer and the humans don't have a clue.
My dog is 18 yrs old and is still active by the grace of God 🙏. He was never fed on Dog food or any company products.
How is your dog now?
What do you feed him?

mi vecino tuvo un perro pastor alemán y vivió 21 años, también dice que nunca le dió comida para perros, él comía lo mismo que el resto de la familia humana, y otros casos parecidos conozco y todos coinciden en lo mismo, nada de comida para perros, comer lo mismo que la familia humana. La comida para perros produce cáncer. También el agua del grifo en muchas ciudades produce cáncer, porque le ponen demasiada lejía, hay que dar agua de botella.
Wow😍😍
AMEN. At age 6 my weimeraner was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given six months to live with coventional cancer treatment. I refused the treatment and for almost a decade she lived well and youthful with her stage 4 cancer and remained active chasing balls and frisbees well into her 15th year due to dietary changes. The expected lifespan for the breed is about 8 years. I doubled her lifespan for her breed in spite of stage 4 cancer. My sweet Bella passed August 24, 2017 at 14.75 years old. She was humanely euthanized. Her last week was difficult but was still eating well and was actually a bit overweight when she passed at 68 lbs. She was good up to end and I attribute that to a clean healthy diet.
Incredible Dana. You did an amazing thing for your girl ❤️
What did you feed her?
Incerdible what you gave her?
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD finally someone is being the voice for our Dogs & Cats....
And ferrets too!
my dog died of cancer in January, i literally started sobbing when you were talking about it
Nice! I love the story since it's so relatable to my dog. 17 year old American Dingo that we found in the desert as a couple month old pup in a litter of 3 (all deceased). Early 2019 he collapsed 3 times in 20 minutes. Emergency vet that day gave him a cancer prognosis, severe heart murmur, fluid around the heart, severe anemia so bad that they wanted to do a transfusion or put him down. I refused and took two permanent meds for his heart and lungs and we went home. A month later I decided to take him up north and get a cabin for one last time and pulled him off the meds. While up north, I had a few drinks one night and sat on the patio with my dog laying in my arms and I just held him and cried. This dog has been through so much with me over the past 17 years. The next day, everything seemed so clear to me of what I needed to do so I hit the books then and put my professional skills to work. You see, I am a self employed chef of 12 years and have 35 years in the restaurant industry. I both my dogs off of the natural kibble I thought was so good but knew deep down that it wasn't. After two weeks of that I finally started them on a diet that I made entirely from scratch. Developing recipe after recipe, watching hundreds of videos from holistic veterinarians and learning as much about canine nutrition as I possibly could. 8 months later, I brought him back to that same vet one day who was shocked that he was still alive. She did blood work, did an ECG and was fascinated to see that he was actually recovering and his health was substantially better. His anemic blood count was back to normal, the murmur not nearly as pronounced and well, there's a lot more to that but let's just say that it's 10 months since that original diagnosis and he's doing great.
I LOVE this story!
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing
@@laurielamarche815 thank you Laurie! I’m sorry I didn’t see this comment sooner.
@@poupie155 You’re welcome 🤓
I would love to have access to your recipes!
My mini schnauzer is almost 21 years old.
I thank this video for that daily. When people ask me what i did?
I refer to this video.
This is a very good man
My mini is one and has nothing but stomach problems on hard food, when I make chicken and rice just fine, can I ask what you feed yours. He's my world my best buddy, my baby. Want him to be healthy and happy.
@kathymiller6808 I fed my daisy a bit of rice and cooked dog senior food. (When she turned 20) because she needed the fiber for her poop to be normal.
Before that I fed her bison meat and cooked tongue and hearts and livers n such. But eventually her belly started having a hard time breaking those down.
Verrrrry small amount of rice for fiber.
Senior dog blend (of a reputable dog food company) and ensure its nice boiled but with only a small amount of water. So that the foods not too watery. Because then she gets watery poo
We celebrated her 21st birthday on the 24th of December.
17 days later I had to watch her leave my care. I love her very much. I am happy she chose to stay with me so long. And I look forward to seeing her again, when I have enough stories of my time to rival hers
Thank you so much for the reply. You are a great pet parent!
I just lost my dog to a very sudden, aggressive cancer. When I noticed his health was fading, I started cooking his food myself. I believe he lived another 14 months. I'll never feed a commercial dog food ever again.
Same here... lost my 14 yr Cattle Dog to Lung Cancer.....
LOVE IT! Why people are so blind to the obvious reality - if we are healthier on natural food why on earth would our pets be any different. It's madness.
My dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and lived another 8 months after I changed her from processed commercial wet food to a homemade organic diet. She passed yesterday but this lesson will definitely stay with me when I am ready to adopt another dog.
Started adding all kinds of fresh vegetables to our dog's diet after watching this. Thank you so much.
Don't forget to add some fresh protein as well. Protein is their primary nutritional component.
Also remember that certain veggies and fruits are toxic to dogs. Anything from the Allium family (onions, garlic, scallions and leeks) are quite toxic. Also grapes.
MY DOGS GET FRESH CARROTS, FRESH BERRIES AND LOTS OF HUMAN GRADE FOOD LIKE WHITE FISH, NOTHING RAW, NOR FRIED, AND NO JUNK FOOD.
If I ever get another dog, fresh food will be the main diet. My beloved shih tzu was 17, and pretty healthy despite not having a perfect diet. She may have lived quite a bit longer, but in the end the slipped disc in her back several years earlier was making it so hard for her to get around. She was sad and frustrated she couldn't go for a walk anymore. I carried her around a lot the last 6 mos. But she was miserable and put her to sleep 3 weeks ago. Hardest thing ever .
Very important! I used to feed my husky Gohan straight kibble food since the first day I got him and for about 6 months. He was now around 1 year old, and I changed his diet and started to add more fresh foods. I switched his kibble brand to a higher quality one and mixed some fresh foods in there. I can already spot the change in everything about him. From a healthy looking coat, to even how he behaved. I truly believe if you want your dog to live longer and be healthier overall, please don't feed your dog only kibble. Add some fresh foods. If you do decide to use kibble, try getting a high quality brand. Quality over quantity! It will make a real difference!!
I'm not a vet and I don’t sell anything, I’m a proud pet parent of 3 beautiful dogs. I’m an advocate of the Prey Model & Biologically Appropriate Raw Food Diets and run a Facebook Group As Nature Intended. I’ve had holistic vets, conventional raw fed vets, researchers, trainers, breeders, nutritionists and, of course, carers from all over the world join the group.
If you're looking for ways to help prolong your pets life or heal your long life friend, then removing all harmful toxins from their body, making a few changes in and around the home while feeding them one of these diets is certainly a good start. Perhaps your considering on making the transition, but wish to learn how, when and what to feed, or you're looking for guidance, hints and tips on raw the diet. If you wish to learn the benefits of foods suitable, how to prevent and treat different ailments, alternative medicine in treating and prevention and much more, then this informative group is there for you and your pets

What kind of fresh foods do you add?
@@rosykatzCATS Agreed. There's no such thing as a healthy kibble. It's all just junk convenience food for dogs.
Please feed him only healthy food please don't feed him kibble
We fed one of our cats raw beef liver every day and he lived to 24 yrs of age.
That's great but keep in mind that Raw feeding is more complicated than that
Thank you so much Rodney. I'm the owner of a 14 and a half year old German Shepherd mix just dionosed with liver cancer. Searching the internet for a way to halt or reverse it I found this. As of today my fur baby is eating a raw meat, berry, leafy greens diet. May she live to her twenties. God bless you and your sweet dog
It's been a year now. How did your shepherd do? Is she still with you?
I want to know as well

My dog died a year from his Adenocarcinoma colon cancer diagnosis, we did chemo (Carboplatin)
keep up this good work. take down these pet food companies and all their false claims of healthy pet foods they are selling.
I had to laugh when our vet recently said to make sure the food we buy for our dogs is AACO (or whatever the acronym is) rated. SMH.
Yes,Yes,Yes, of exposing dog food companies and I also made a really lengthy comment on the front.

my dog (leo) passed on october 29 2022 due to a sudden cardiac arrest, he was 9 years old but was as healthy as a 3 year old dog, he was able to run, bark, play fetch and even drooled all over my slippers when i was'nt looking
on the day of his death, he was just coming back from a walk, as his leash was being removed, he was wagging his tail and just suddenly, he wailed in pain and collapsed, before we even understood what happened, he was gone, he stopped breathing, his tongue turned white due to lack of circulation, his pupils unresponsive to light
the house is extremely quiet without him and the silence is gut wrenching
the pain is unbearable and i am feeling devastated, every little thing reminds me of him and i feel overwhelmed with grief and guilt
if only i had seen this nine years ago... he could still be with me
Helmet on grass….I am doing the same in my now quiet home, seeing my beloved Molli who passed away at the end of Oct 2022. She’s everywhere I walk and look. It is an indescribable sadness.

I’m so sorry for your loss of your baby Leo , that is heartbreaking 💔 sending prayers and love and hugs your way.. I lost my baby Sassy 1 month ago today she was 12 years old died in my arms she quit breathing I tried to save her but couldn’t and im so lost I’m barely getting through each day. My routine is messed up I talked to her everyday about everything and now it’s empty 😭🥺😩 it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was let her go to the vet after I wanted to keep her forever it hurt so bad 😢they are family they give us their heart 💜 and we give them ours ❤ 😢I’m broken
My beautiful boy died 3 months ago of nasal cancer and I bawled listening to this.
He had IBS and epilepsy and was on all sorts of medications and a special dietary food for his bowels and skin issues. I would have given anything to have him live longer. Everyday is a struggle without him. I wish I had of seen this video 8 months ago. 😭😭😭
Don't be so hard on yourself. You did all the right things. His ailments. sound hereditary, and entirely out of your control.
Ned you sound like an amazing pet parent 🙏🏻 I hope you are doing ok x
My dog recently passed from nasal cancer as well. She was on several medications as well and had seizures on the last days. I started feeding her better but I wish I knew this so much sooner. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's tough but your baby knows you loved them very much.
Wish I had known about this before my dog passed away from cancer at only 8yrs old
L.A.Greer @Know this is a late video but read your comment and I feel same on my past 4 dogs but I'm glad that so many others will be saved. I lost my lab recently, even though its been a year im sure you still miss yours, I'm deeply sorry for your loss💕

I lost my 9 y/o pug a yr ago due to pancreatitis and my 13y/o GS suddenly died this past Tuesday night - cancer of the spleen that ruptured and she was bleeding out. I got her to our local ER and Speciality Vet wherein we were given the facts, options and odds. She was such a good girl and I couldn’t prolong her suffering b/c of my fears. My bestest friend passed in my arms. RIP Macy 😢🙏💔🌈🐕🦺
First of all this man isn't trying to sell anything. That should be your first clue. He is citing literature from DVM Jean Dodds book "Nutrigenomics" it is obvious he has a love for dogs and wants to assist other pet owner's too.
I've known of Jean Dodds for years and she has help a good number of friends with their Chows' hypothyroidism which their regular vets couldn't fix.
Thank you Rodney! My labs actually shown me that they rather eat fresh and unprocessed food than commercial dog food when they were puppies... I then (2012) started investigating and making fresh food and baking nutritious biscuits for them, which led to my little canine bakery business in SA. It is often just good old common sense, science and fresh & wholesome food. Good job!
Every pet owner needs to see this
Our 6-year old rescue mutt was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma 2 years ago with a 3 to 6 week lifespan. Put him on chemo immediately, but also changed his dry food diet to one that is 1/3 premium dry (with grains) plus 2/3 sardines, cottage cheese, egged, dark kale, spinach, broccoli, beans, ground hemp, flax, almond, oat, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds, spirolina, homemade Essiac tea, carrots, beets, chia, parsley, turmeric, and bone broth, with some occasional modifications.
Not only has he been cancer free for two years, which is far longer than his prognosis was with chemo, but he is in the best health he’s ever been. While I’m a scientist and always a skeptic, I firmly believe that changing his diet so drastically has kept the cancer from recurring.
Excellent. I switched my cats to a raw diet a few years ago after I became aware that many companies who make pet food are motivated by money, not by making a healthy food for our pets. Dry food is a perfect example.
Right on Sheila, sadly profits are more important than the health concerns for our beloved pets. Cats really thrive on a raw food diet. You will have them around for a long time :-)
I am in the process of switching my dog to raw right now. Going great so far and I couldn't be happier about it.
Good for you and your cats! I've been feeding raw to both cats and dogs in my care for 25 years, with tremendous results. They have gorgeous coats, don't shed, are calm and well-behaved, and have naturally strong immune systems. Just like us humans, it is NOT necessary to decline on schedule(!)

Excellent! Humans need to compare themselves as to how they treat their dogs...
Brilliant Rodney and thanks for including my research. This will hopefully help a lot of pets! We need to get our beloved pets on the food they were designed for. The rewards are amazing; longer lives and less risk of cancer. We all want that! You're doing a great job highlighting these issues.
Hi, could you tell please what the best fresh foods to add are?

Thomas sandberg is amazing!!!
Here in Australia our dingo x ridgeback lived to be 17 years old. We walked her on the beach every single day and she ate snacks of all sorts and ate everything and anything.
She even tucked into a box of chocolates occasionally and neatly unwrapped every single chocolate without damaging them.
She was the best dog and i'll always remember her.
Gotta love the inspiration this man radiates. Halfway through his book, the forever dog, highly reckommended.
My dog has been on a raw food diet for one year now💕 Because I love him in my life💕 Its true what he is saying. TRUE!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for doing what you do!!! As a personal trainer, this info is for EVERYONE...not just dog owners! I feed my dog mostly raw, and I'm thrilled knowing he is not taking in the JUNK that dog food manufacturers produce! (Some are certainly far better than others though!) Humans need to recognize themselves in this as well---the pre-packaged crap that people consume on a daily basis IS the cause of their CANCERS!!! You can choose to feed it or starve it....period! :)
Wish i found this before my dog died from cancer :(
So sorry to hear about your fur baby 😞
We can only learn
I started following Rodney Habib's homemade dog food recipe. The only change I made was cooking all the food first. I also added a bit of raw pumpkin for fiber. My senior Yorkie barks for his food now and runs around in circles at dinnertime.. I noticed the difference immediately in his energy and shiny coat. He also stopped his gagging cough which may be related to better heart health without all the peas and lentils in his former grain free diet. I hope Rodney Habib's recipes add years to my dog's life!
Both my cats and dog are on RAW (kitty is still supplemented with kibble as she is transitioning slower) and and results were amazing. I'm hoping that I can persuade people on my youtube channel to make the switch as well.
Why're u advertising here? >:(
If anything, exercise provides longevity. I hate the whole "buy our food and your pet will live longer" lots of showboating with no statistics run by independent/separate companies to back up claims on a product.
Advertising what? I don't sell a diet.. I make my own petfood that I feed my own pets.
Creative Pet Keeping Exactly, theres no advertising here other than adding some fresh food, not processed, to your pets diet. I do this, I make fresh stews for my dogs, or add veggies to my dogs kibble. Its simple logic.
Creative Pet Keeping i love the channel
Creative Pet Keeping dry food is BAD causes stones & crystals. lazy people feed this. just don't care as much.
Every dog owner should see this! Great Job!
Have the joy of 4 dogs, mama is 16, 3 kids 13. Never fed them any corn containing kibbles,only lamb/chicken and rice, plus table scraps. They like salad except for broccoli spears. One developed hemolitic sarcoma, dread cancer. I use medical cannibis, so I started her on a green juice daily using leaf and root, she is still being a dog a year after diagnosis, our Vet is amazed she is doing so well. My cat chose to leave his body when he turned 21, he liked second hand smoke. I recommend cannabis CBD for animals whose diet and lack of exercise has led to cancer.
They do in our hearts.
This is very important information.
And people still act like I don't know what I'm doing even when they see Cookie's getting healthier from home cooked meals.
It's insane. People will tell me Cookie looks healthy, then tell me I am feeding her wrong and act like I should go back to feeding kibble
Nice job Rodney! Information that every dog and cat owner can understand and implement. Keep it simple. My guys eat raw and look and act years younger. Make your next TED talk about vaccinations, flea & tick meds, and really get everyone talking.
I just started my boys on home cooked meals. I cannot believe how fast I saw changes. First I stopped dry food that was 46% sugar. Thanks to your video on sugar in kibble. My little boy, Biggie, has colitis and suffers a lot. My heart breaks. I stopped Hills RX digestive care...it wasn’t helping...the amount of horrible painful episodes decreased. His food was actually keeping him sick. I am in the process of compiling information that I will send to Hills...I was so angry that their only motivation is GREED. I couldn’t believe how much sugar and carbs are in their kibble and the lack of nutrition in the can food. I fed them these foods because their Vet said they should be on it. It is not cheap times two dogs...My other boy, Jack, was put on Hills RX Metabolic- Mobility for his back knees starting to show signs of arthritis starting and he was over weight to long. I started feeding him less and exercising him more....he’s down to 13 1/2 pounds where he should be. It was the food. Point being, I kept telling her of my concern about Jack being on tuna for so long. It’s not even good for humans at that amount due to high amounts of mercury. My mind says she’s a Vet...she has to know what’s good for him. He needs the omegas and weight control. So I continued the food...but I couldn’t rest easy. When she told that Hills does extensive research on their RX food and are careful that their top quality foods are good for dogs. Nevertheless, tuna every day was driving me crazy...she says that she didn’t agree that he stop the food...I stopped it anyway..and have no regrets. He is doing well...they both are doing better on home cooked dog recipes and are so eager to eat and at 11 they are very energetic. I make sure he gets the omega he needs...I got the recipes from your videos. Jack had a belly ache one time. But is ok now. I did the slow change over from processed dog food to homemade.
I can’t thank you enough for literally saving their precious lives. They are Chi-mix brothers and my life.... you are amazing. I thank you for all your honest information...how these dog food companies and Many Vets can find money more important is beyond my comprehension. Started feeling they keep our beloved pets sick so we have to come back....They need to be held accountable.
When my dog died when he was 15 years old , a question came up which none of the great religions of the world could answer , where do their spirits go , to a dog nirvana ? But one thing is for sure , when I die , I'm going where my dog went .
Jono Jon - I believe we will see our pets again. In my mind, animals and babies are the most innocent things on this earth. God has a place for all his creatures.
I couldn't imagine Heaven without our pets that we loved.
Exactly what I say. But I’m sure they make it to heaven, there is noway God wouldn’t keep such pure souls around him ❤️
The book "Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates" suggests that there is Christian religion basis of them going to heaven.
Jono Jon @Three yrs. from your comment that I seen this video, I know in my heart that our loved pets go to the same heaven as we do where their waiting for us, why would they not as all animals are pure and innocent as our Father God made them, that's why they don't have to come back to learn as we people do. Please read the book by Sylvia Browne "All Pets Go To Heaven" wonderful book which I have read each time one of my pet passed, I just got done reading it again here recently as of my Lab's passing, it helps some. Sylvia Browne has been deceased for quite a few yrs. now but there's lots of wonderful books that she wrote when she was on earth, I believe she was truly sysic.
Over the past couple of years, I had 2 family members pass away. First it was my dog, then it was my mom. I think about everything both of them were eating. All throughout my growing up, we would feed my dog wet dog food, and a ton of scraps from when we were done eating (which was mainly gristle and other things WE didn't want to eat). My toy poodle only lived to be 11 years old. They aren't supposed to die so young. She had congestive heart failure.
My mom ate a lot of sugar and spent so much of her life working and caring for my family that she didn't take much time to exercise or take care of herself. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April 2017 and died on July 31, 2017. She was 56 years old.
If that isn't motivation to live healthier I don't know what is.
It should be no surprise that same principles apply to all animals, including humans. Diet is extremely important, and one of the most modifiable factors when it comes to many diseases including cancer.
Simply amazing. I really believe in natural food for dogs. Hello from Brazil.
The one creative I always love to watch is you.
Your work is a joy to witness.
Good job! Inspiring Rodney!
You make all the difference in dogs world!!!
Your work translates into happy forever dogs!
Whats a dog's way of saying I love you?
Loving gazes
When a dog gives you long, lingering eye contact, it's a way of saying “I love you.” A recent study shows that oxytocin, the 'love chemical,' goes up in both dogs and humans when they share a kind gaze.
The way your dog stares to you!!
and this is the most prescious “thank you!”
Great, great talk! More people need to take this under advisement. I've been cooking whole meals for my dogs for the last 12 months. It's amazing how great they are doing since they are seniors. Even a little goes a long way.
If you feed them the food raw (not cooked) you will see even better results since you will maintain important enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. The protein will also not be altered as it will if heated.
Would you be willing to share some of your recipies for doggies after experiencing for a year? Please email me if you will: manuelnuman@yahoo.com
Hey Thomas! I work closely with a holistic (Chinese Medicine) vet who doesn't recommend raw for my pups. It can create dampness in the body. But I do agree that some dogs thrive on raw. It's about giving the individual dog (animal) what is best for them. Thanks!
Email sent.
Paula, that's a new one. In all the years I have fed raw I have never heard that. I believe all dogs from small to giant breeds, have a carnivore's digestive system and will thrive on raw. It's impossible in my opinion to build and maintain a healthy immune system and maintain sufficient organ reserves on any other diet than raw. Also, raw food reduces the risk of unwanted gene expressions from altered proteins and nutrients found in commercial dog food, this can lead to horrible diseases like cancer. I have never seen any evidence that contradicts that raw food is beneficial. Keep them on raw and you will extend their life. That's my advice.
But, I love Chinese medicine!
Thank you Rodney for spreading the word. Perfect talk about what each pet owners should do when it comes to the diet of their beloved pets. I also recommend watching the interview with Brian (Maggie's owner) thats just amazing. Well done
My dog would eat pretty much anything that I gave her or would steal anything I was silly enough to leave lying around within her reach. (She was a German Shepherd that could look most people directly in the eyes if she was allowed to put her paws on their shoulders so a lot of things were within her reach! Once she managed to steal a whole chicken off the kitchen bench and it was never seen again:) I would steam peas, carrots, corn, green beans and mix it with steamed rice and mix it all up for a few days of meals and give her raw chicken wings, uncooked beef, pork and sheep bones. She lived to be almost 16.
My neighbors dog died was diagnosed and passed (just a few weeks later) from cancer at 6 years old!! My mind was blown at that happening to such a young dog. I mean he was a large breed of dog - so with such a large dog a shorter life span is to be expected - but still the lifespan that particular breed (Rhodesian Ridgeback) is closer to 11 or 12 years.
I made my dog's food since she was a puppy. Most people thought I was crazy but I felt she got better nutrition and I knew what was in her food. I don't think you can blame veterinarians - each pet owner is responsible for their pet's health. All you have to do is read food labels and you see the junk that goes into pet food. Most people are too busy, until their pet gets sick. Do the homework upfront.
¡Gracias Rodney! Gracias por tu iniciativa que definitivamente está cambiando la industria y al mundo de los perros.
Thank you Rodney, Thank you for your iniciative, you are definitely changing the industry and the pets world, We need more people like you!
Best video ❤❤❤
Dear pet lovers please feed right & keep them healthy. our dog life is under our control 🐶❤🐶
Yep! When you think of all that dry kibble we give our pets, most of that has a lot of grain..grain grown by non-organic industrial standards...so full of glyphosate. We know unequivocally what glyphosate is going to human health. So STOP the grains and kibbles! If you do grains cook organic ones yourself. Excellent work!
This is such amazingly simple information and yet, as many of the comments point out below, money has gotten in the way of health...both in humans and in our beloved pets. My new puppy loves raw meats, cooked and raw veggies and apples!
Thank you for this great info. I have always known this but you give me faith in what I believe. I feed only the highest quality food. I often cook for my dogs. I buy meat on sale and sear just the outside to kill bacteria leaving it very rare. I add veggies and eggs and they love it. I also feed commercial raw on occasion. When we say raw, we need to be careful. Raw that is commercially prepared is tested for bacteria. Meat you buy at the grocery is not, you should sear the outside. I learned this the hard way unfortunately. Check Walmart for packages of organ meats very cheap. Just the other day I bought chicken livers for about 50 cents a pound. I tossed them in a pan to sear the outside, added broccoli, cheese and eggs. I make them a home cooked meal a couple times a week.
I lost the love of my life to diabetes. I was stupid. If only I had known. Also do not routinely vaccinate. Once immunity is achieved it generally lasts a lifetime. Puppy shots yes, boosters at one year yes.....then no more.
Dr. Becker says to never buy chicken, turkey or organ meats from Walmart because they inject dyes in the birds & the organs are filled with chemicals & pesticides. Not trying to criticize, just inform. I had no idea until yesterday.
@@hahna77 kind of makes me wonder about the $5 rotisserie chickens they sell at Sam's Club, which is owned by Walmart.
I used to cook for my baby for over 10yrs. She was always very healthy.Then, she had Diabetes at age 11, so, she was on Vegan dry food, but I still gave her all sorts of fresh food such as eggs, sometimes chicken, and she loved fruits and vegi all day. Yes, I thought she would live forever, but, she didn't.(14.5 to be exact)The life expectancy was written before we were born, and the "soul contract" we had with them. I've learned that after her transition. But yes, I still will cook for my next baby, better for them and tastes better.
Your dog should not be on vegan kibble. They must have suffered from severe nutrition deficiencies.
@@AhItsArah You didn't read what I wrote??? I cooked and baked for her too. Plus all sorts of vitamins. She did NOT suffer from anything. Her blood test was beautiful. Her coat shinning, eyes beautiful, great energy, great heart beat as the vet said few months before her passing, she described her as "fantastic"! By eating all sorts of human food daily is not going to cause any nutrition deficiency.
Thank you Rodney for your wonderful contribution to pet nutrition!
Thank you so much for this. Very insightful! Will be buying more leafy vegetables for my dogs and me. We will be healthier together
I show this video to every dog owner I know..... we must get the word out on this topic
Love this TEDx Talk by Rodney Habib.... truly authentic information that will help you keep your dog healthy. Well done. Thank you!!
@Another comment from the long winded woman, I've read several comments and was pleased to see lots from people changing their pets diets to pets with illness who were even as of being sick were becoming healthier and living longer life's, kind of takes the sting out of my stupidity of not knowing, and then too late. Father God Bless All.
Really? Awesome! My Yorkie is 8yo and I always fed her 40% kibble plus 60% fresh food (like veggies, salmon, chicken...). Vets are always amazed by her athletic shape, shiny hair and nice white teeth! It's great to know I've been doing the right thing.
Our Rottweiler Pit bull Mix, Shadow, recently died. He was 22 years old. Often I have wondered what his longevity stemmed from. He did not receive any special diet - he ate regular store bought dog food. I attribute his longevity (at least in part) to the quantity of food he ate. We were always careful not to overfeed him. Until his last year, when he started to get thin, he was always "right sized" for his size. Possibly he might still be with us if he also had a different diet too, but I really feel like the quantity of food that your dog eats is very important.
Lifespan change is the opposite in Germany. In the the 1970s average dog-life lasted 10 years, now it's 15. Barfing is hugely popular here.
literally was walking into work yesterday after break and saw someone had a dog in their car. I literally made a face at him, a type of excited face and i almost waved at him lol
This applies to every animal! Us especially!
Dogs are totally awesome. My dog Ruby will live on forever on my TH-cam channel
I'm going to put this advice into practice. Thanks!
My Maltese was thriving on raw meat until she turned 11 and became sensitive to it. I was so sad to take her of it but I replaced it with home made cooked meat and veg and fruits. I have also added bone broth recently. I will say, on this diet, I was able to stop her dry eye medication. I have also reduced her monthly tick drops to once every three months in the summer and none in the winter. I don't give her the yearly recommended jabs either.
Wow! Good for you AND your fur child! Great job! I have an 11 year old fur child who's name is Maggie Mae, and she's a beautiful boxer baby! She's my heart! A few years ago, she really started slowing down to the point of wanting to sleep 24 hours a day. I started doing alot of research and decided to switch her to a fresh food diet from kibble. I had stumbled upon a website called THE TRUTH ABOUT PET FOOD and when I found out how bad kibble is and what AAFCO allows to be used in making dry kibble, I switched her over to a base mix (dehydrated fruits and veggies) and my choice of protein (ground turkey, ground beef, ground bison, etc) and within a two week time span, she became a puppy again, wanting to play, engaging in wanting to meet EVERYONE when on walks or ANYONE coming to our home. She was like a new dog! I'm forever grateful to Rodney, Dr Karen Becker, Dr Judy Morgan and all the other wonderful people who share their knowledge and wisdom for FREE!!! IMHO, my Maggie wouldn't be alive today if I would've kept feeding her dry food that was poisoning her body. I also feed her some very healthy supplements mixed with her food, and she's still going strong, still acting like a puppy and also has lost 10 lbs which she needed to do. So, she's down to her ideal weight!! Also, I became disabled ~ 25 years ago and in the last 7 years, I've lost my ability to walk for more than ~ 20 feet and wasn't able to go for walks with her anymore, so my husband bought me an electric mobility scooter 2 months ago, and now I'm able to walk her EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Anyway, so sorry for such a long reply, but I love to brag about my Maggie, my heart!💔❤️🩹💝💜
Fortunately I didn't believe the vets who recently said dried foods are better than the handmade food I gave my dog. My dog is turning 20 this month. The other are 16 years old when they passed, sadly their son only live to 11 y.o because of dry foods.
Rodney...How about a list of the best (and safe) food items to add to our dog's diet?
first you want to make sure you feed a good quality food, www.dogfoodadvisor.com is a good start. I don't feed kibble anymore, but if you're going to add some fresh food, you can start by giving your dog some lightly cooked meat and organs. Depending on your dog, he may be able to tolerate raw with kibble, but some dogs cant. It's important to remember that dogs dont have the enzyme amylase in their saliva to break down plant matter, so if you're going to add vegetables, it's best to pulverize it in a blender. You can make a batch of something like:
-Kale/Spinach
-Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
-Carrots
-Squash
-Kelp or Spirulina
-Coconut oil or Fish oils
-small amount of raw honey
-Bone broth
This man is my hero
I have an Australia Shepherd, 2 Yr old eats Fresh & Raw food. Let's see what year I come back to this video. Greta work BTW!
People are born so they learn to live a good life, like loving the whole time and being cool, right? Well, dogs already know how to do this, so they do not have to stay as long as we do.
Вот и всё..Вот ответы на вопросы жизни животных и людей тоже,мы состоим из того что мы едим..И мать природу не обманешь,только свежие и натуральные продукты.Отличное видео.
Btw my 20 year old (and my 16 and 17 year old.. none related) all got fresh food (in the last years). They also get herbs/vitamins/energy work.
Wish I had seen this video few years back, lost my dog to cancer last night! I feel miserable
Sorry for your loss. What matters is what we learned from the past and how we apply it in the future.
I really hope I would've found this before my furry best friend died from cancer 😖😭😖
What is the optimal diet for them? What foods, and how much? I’ve heard of calorie restriction for longevity, but I’d like more info. Thanks for any additional advice.
Harika ve gerçekten tüm pet sahiplerinin izlemesi gereken bir video ❤️👏
LOVE this! Everyone who owns a pet needs to watch this!
My dog of 14 years old was loosing a lot of weight because a bloody diarrhea caused by poor nutrition. I switched to raw meat including, chicken and beef, some vegetables, well cooked salmon. She gained healthy weight, and now she she 15 1/2 years old and looking healthier. Please don’t be afraid and switch to raw food, they will be ok.
Changing my dogs diets today!
Love you Rodney
Hello from Australia
OMG. AMAZING.
Eu estou supresa com esse video!!
What an awesome video, I will start adding fresh food to my dog's kibble asap.
natashka1982 get rid of the kibble and just give organic meat and veggies (pulverised) and omega 3 oils x
this talk is terrific in that it gave me websites to look at for specific information. the ketopet organization doesn't just"add fresh vegetables" to the diet, they feed the dogs a ketogenic diet. that is low carb, high fat. lots of animal fat.
Phenomenal, I love this Ted talk.
That was Amazing, well done Rodney. 👏👏👏
Awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Feed your pets REAL FOOD
Yes
I’ve been fortunate that my pup loves carrots and yams. So healthy for him!
all of these reasons can be equated exactly to humans as well!
Damn pet food industry!
i've always been told that i was crazy to give my dogs vegetables, fruits and raw meat (this last one not that much because where I live is really really expensive)....I knew they were wrong.
Thanks Rodney...
Dear Rodney, i have a dog and three cat's. My question is what would be the best food for them other than making special food for them as I'm living on a fixed in-come and forced to live on a monthly budget .if you could recommend a food for them and a probiotic and what veggies and raw meats. Your response is greatly appreciated son, thank you, Andr'e George.
My dog loves carrots! He shares apples and pears with me as well.
Very few dogs get enough exercise and the right kind of exercise. How many people would like to have their dogs life? Very few people should be allowed to own dogs. The dogs suffer and the humans don't have a clue.
