    I so wish more people would read labels in human and pet foods. I can’t begin to imagine buying anything without reading the ingredients, and also understanding what they mean. Thank you Dr Judy

    We are messy eaters ourselves. It happens when you eat. Messes happen, oh well, clean it up. They don’t call the mess halls for no reason. Get a mess of food and make a mess with it, then clean it up. Life is a big old mess hall. Don’t cry over spilled milk, it happens. Also better that mess than making a mess of something’s health.
    Appreciate what you’re doing. God bless in the name of Jesus Christ. 8:52

    Prescription and kibble animal food is as bad as fast human food and Frankenstein chemical filled junk food. That's why there is so much illness. When I took our dog to Purdue University Vet School years ago for an injury, I asked for healthy food education education or suggestions and was told that was not given out to the public; not available!? This is sad as to it is a teaching vet hospital. I did my own research and feed homemade recipes you teach. Thank you!!!❤️

    Guys. It’s so much cheaper to feed pets raw. Especially if you have a small pet. I have a 95lb German Shepherd and feed raw now, since the passing of my cat on Christmas 2023. Get a meat grinder, if not. Go buy some red meat from your butcher or local grocery. You can get whatever on sale. I don’t do pork thou. The grab sweet potato, chicken liver/hearts gizzards, chicken quarters the best price for the chicken parts. Then eggs, boil eggs lightly leave yolk soft or semi runny. Carrots, peas. I add a daily vitamin, and probiotic. I also buy a salad mix of spinach, kale. You can also get salmon or salmon oil. Then add together the amounts for the week and place rest in freezer. So much easier. I do cook my chicken though. Also chia seeds. My dog gets all the good vitamins by her food.

    3/9/24 I few weeks ago I gave away several bags of Zeke’s mini treats that were previously purchased because they seemed to be healthier than many in the big pet stores and Amazon. I’m now giving my schnauzer girls Green Juju bite sized bison liver, salmon, rabbit treats in addition to Salmon Blue with Salmon, blueberries and cabbage. I’ve only been giving them two little pieces of liver treats daily because their food contains liver and I’m afraid to give too much liver. They love all of these treats including my almost 18 year old, very discerning dachshund. She gets the Salmon Blue with salmon, blueberries, and cabbage because they’re smaller and easier for her to eat with limited teeth. Since the beginning of January 2024 when the Purina fiasco blew up I read every label carefully. I’ve learned so much from following you, Dr. Morgan. I appreciate receiving the email from you first alerting me to the dangers of Purina. That’s when when I pulled my schnauzers off Purina which had been recommended by a veterinary cardiologist and not my regular veterinarian who abhors kibble. Next time I’m at my local pet shop buying goat milk kefir I’ll pick up some different treats to try. Thank you for all that you do for our pets health.

    I've been guilty of feeding crap treats even though I feed a wonderful diet of real food that I put together.
    We use a variety of treats we are always training. Everyday we do some sort of training. We use beef heart cut up into small pieces and cooked, also hot dogs but the better quality beef hotdogs, the cheap hotdogs don't sit well with him. I've also used steak and chicken and turkey too.
    I use a shoulder sling with a treat pouch, and I purchased a 2nd pouch that attaches to my sling that I can put meats and things in then wash it afterwards. That was the biggest problem for me feeding good treats was it was annoying using baggys so I found a washable pouch that I use just for meats.
    I've also used the freeze dried chicken and liver but all that freeze dried stuff gets really expensive. So buying that washable pouch really made a big difference for me. I'm able to easily have both pouches on my sling and feed moist items and still have good timing. I was spending a fortune on freeze dried treats before.

    Thank you! ❤🐾 I learned about Dr. Harvey's dehydrated dog food from your list and just received a sample size bag. Ive been transitioning my sensitive-stomach Lab boy to a more natural diet and it looks like Paradigm + meat, egg, & oil will work great for him. He loves it! I'm horrified by what's allowed in the pet food industry, I thought I was doing a good job feeding him Hill's sensitive stomach wet food mixed with cooked chicken plus a little pumpkin. I've been giving him raw goat's milk before meals for quite a while so at least I had something right.
    We greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and expertise!

I had to bring her to the vet and they did xrays and ran some tests that didn’t pan out to any real diagnosis… they put her on antibiotics. I know it was the shot or maybe even the food that made her sick… leaning towards the shot though :/ all my cats are indoor I don’t let them outside as we have foxes and I’ve seen a bobcat in the yard.

    So, at about 1:50, you stated, the ingredient list is reflective of which ingredient the product contains the most of. This is why, we the listeners get confused. You state that about the order of ingredients, while other YT vets state that the order of ingredients are reflective of which ingredient is heaviest in weight, not necessarily the highest content percentage. So for example, if the first ingredient is beef/turkey/etc, that ingredient is 75% water? Therefore the heaviest in weight. Therefore, by law it has to be listed first? And quite possibly, that particular product's beef/turkey/etc content is NOT the highest percentage ingredient in the product, but simply the heaviest in weight? Or did I misunderstand? Please clarify. And we the listeners would still benefit if you and vets who do not share your "ingredient list view", would do a round table on camera and hash all this out. Would certainly benefit us, which in turn would certainly benefit our 4-legged family members. 👍 Thank you.

    • @edschulhof6303
      @edschulhof6303 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The ingredients are listed by weight, before cooking or processing. So any meat listed first, is usually much less once you feed it to your pet. In Europe, anything over 1% must have the percentage listed.

      @mcbeezee2120 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@edschulhof6303 Yes, that is what Dr. Rae and "The Petfood Puzzle Guy" both say: that the ingredients list is NOT indicative of which ingredient the contents has the most of. By law, the total weight of each ingredient the contents carries, dictates where that ingredient falls on the ingredient list.

    Good video. The kibble pushers say the ingredient panel does not matter, it is the level of nutrients that matter. Since most of those expensive commercial foods are mostly corn and wheat, I can see why they say that. What they don't say is that organic nutrients have little bioavailability with dogs and cats. So feeding fresh food has little danger of giving them too much. It is the inorganic calcium and phosphorus in commercial pet food that cause most of the health problems. Not to mention all the carbohydrates in dry food that cats don't need at all. Carrageenan is banned in the EU as studies have shown carrageenan to be genotoxic. "A genotoxin is a chemical or agent that can cause DNA or chromosomal damage." National Institutes of Health.
