I wish I had never given my dog this food this food but the marketing got me. I tried Sundays for a couple weeks and despite following their transition instructions my 10 year old Chihuahua mix developed pancreas issues. He never had these issues before trying Sundays and of course is no longer eating it. From my personal experience, I do not recommend anyone trying this food. My boy is now 11 and on Royal Canin low fat due to a couple flareups since trying Sundays. I would also point out the pieces that this food comes in is a choking hazard, and I was very nervous, giving my dog this food. Lastly I would like to add the customer service at this company is phenomenal. After explaining my issues the company agreed to a full refund and sent a lengthy apology. Thank you for another great video!
I’ve never heard of this pet food before. It’s interesting to see how marketing impacts us as consumers. I have to say I have fallen for the marketing trap in the past. But I’ve learned that nutrients are the most important when comparing one pet food to another.
@@AnimalDocRea I am very thankful for what you do. It is very helpful as a consumer to be able to look at pet foods objectively and not fall for marketing. Because I’ll be honest with you. I am a sucker for some good marketing and pretty packaging. I am grateful that I have learned that actually none of that matters and it’s what nutrients are in the food that’s most important but marketing is very powerful and it takes time to desensitize ourselves.
@@AnimalDocRea RC makes about 260 different types of dog and cat food. Most of the wet food in the US contains carrageenan, which is banned in Europe. So cuts it down. I wonder how many of those dry foods actually make a difference, one from another. 🎶"There'll be bluebirds over, the white cliffs of Dover. Tomorrow, just you wait and see." 🎶
@@edschulhof6303 I feed my Rottie the Rottweiler formula only because it has a large kibble for his huge mouth lol. Also lots of benefits for joint health, which they are prone too. Otherwise prob all the same lol. I didn’t know about the C* thing you mentioned. I will look into this
@@edschulhof6303 thanks for this info . Says if it’s naturally derived it’s ok but it’s if it’s manufactured that it’s dangerous. And unfortunately we do not know if it’s naturally derived. I won’t be giving my dog the wet foods anymore. Interesting they would have this in any formulas but especially a GI diet when it’s known to cause digestive issues, colitis, etc. I wish the US would follow suit with Europe in regard to food regulations. It’s also sad to me that a European company will change the ingredients based on where the food is being manufactured to save a buck. It should be the same integrity regardless of where they make the products, If they truly care about health of the consumer and know an ingredient is not safe or the healthiest. I have looked up the European site and ingredients are so much cleaner then US versions being sold.
Please please PLEASE do a review on Abound Dry Puppy Food! Even though it's an exclusive brand to all Kroger stores, they own Inter-American Products Co which has their own pet manufacturing plant. In other words, they manufacture their own pet foods! But I just purchased a new full bred Golden Retriever puppy and I wanted to know what your opinion is on this puppy food and its ingredients. Do you think it's better or worse than Royal Canin Golden Retriever puppy food? Thank you so much and I appreciate all you do 🤗
I believe it’s in this one, you can also read how to do it in the textbook linked in the description box. Wow! Ollie may be the winner of the fresh dog food th-cam.com/video/5RA1aYAneUQ/w-d-xo.html

could you please do a review on Birdie and Louie dog food , its decently priced and they say they use good quality ingredients , they sell it at whole foods , it says on the site they follow aafco nutritional guidelines.
I wanted to try this dog food for the hype but here’s the thing my 2 dachshunds drink a lot of water with this food. So I’m done buying it. I want my dogs on Yum Woof I think it’s much better they were eating chicken but I tried low fat turkey recipe they love it it’s small kibbles. Dr. Rea can you do Yum Woof review please. 🙏🏻 thanks I was gonna buy Raised Right glad I didn’t. Great video ❤😊. th-cam.com/video/FIPZYiE_qd0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mjWPTC-emzoG52AQ
Kathryn Heigl’s Badlands ranch dog food ads are blowing up my you tube. Could you review this food. She makes all kinds of claims for longevity of dogs eating this food and spreads a lot of misinformation when she does her commercial showing her in a pet store looking at foods. My opinion: I love her as an actress but she needs to stay in her lane
I have actually had many requests, but I can’t get them to send me the information I need. If you can get the dry matter basis values then I’ll do it but I’m not going to hound them anymore
Hey it would be great to have a playlist of videos of foods that pass your 7 point system! Love your vids keep it up!
I have lots of playlists for you to check out: Adult Dog foods scoring 7-10

@ OMGGG THANKS A TON!!!
@@AnimalDocRea Quick question is it okay to mix food? Like Kibble and fresh food for example
@Ikea9292101 yes , as long as you manage the calories

You’re welcome and I’m sorry it has been a stressful journey for you.
Thank you for taking the time to review this food. Greatly appreciated. ❤

Hello Dr!
Could you please review the FORZA10 dog food?
they have behavioural tailored food, which this is not something Ive seen before!
I would love a review of Royal Canin Rottweiler Adult… maybe even a Royal Canin portfolio evaluation
I don’t think I can do the full portfolio… it’s huge!!!
Very true! Maybe an episode worth lol

At one point I was almost considering this food. Praise the Lord I didn’t. Thank you
Last year I tried all kinds of these foods but ultimately gave up because my shih tzus prefer moist and mesty
I’ve been waiting for this review … vs Fresh Food ?
You can compare to fresh food with the PSS because we are converting to dry matter basis. It would be equivalent to any fresh food scoring 4-5z
can you please point me to your videos about calculating the nutritional values based on caloric density?
I believe it’s in this one, you can also read how to do it in the textbook linked in the description box.
Wow! Ollie may be the winner of the fresh dog food

Can you please do “We Are Raw” review…?
And is ok to feed my puppy a raw food diet?
Raw is not recommended by the veterinary community as a whole and is a public health concern therefore I do not review raw on my channel.
@kieranmaguire182 see above

Ah…well all foods meet AAFCO… it’s a requirement to sell pet food. We want them to follow standards on SACN!
@@AnimalDocRea that’s good to know , put them to the test Rea!
I know it's a red flag when a company compares its products to those of other companies.
