The idea of forcing a family member to eat the same thing for every meal throughout their entire life breaks my heart.
me too! i'm working on getting my kitties over to raw food, but ever since they were kittens i've at least made sure to vary their wet food offerings!
And they’ll make themselves feel better by getting different ‘flavors’ of kibble
Uv never met someone with autism have u lol
This is literally what I preach to dog owners asking me why their dog’s food matters and what the differences are. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i’ve been feeding my dog a different bag of dog food about every 2 months since he was about 4 months old. i mostly feed him animal body part treats, like pig ears, bully sticks, elk antlers, beef tranchea, chicken meat treats or fruits and vegetables. i feed him homemade food randomly to just switch it up! i also give him salmon oil, canned meat, and the honest kitchen pour-overs. (the ones without potatoes and peas) as well as broth in every meal. i avoid grain free foods (unless your dog is allergic there’s no reason your dog should be on this food because it’s linked to dcm in dogs) , peas, legumes, potatoes, corn, by product meals, and most of all “natural” flavors that aren’t regulated. here and there i’ll get an ingredient or two i don’t prefer lower on the ingredient list, but i don’t mind because too much of anything is bad, so i don’t mind the occasional potato/ pea fiber. kinks dry food isn’t the best, but i’m doing more than 70% of dog owners to help my dog out. i’ve been thinking about slowly introducing cooked meals like the ready frozen ones you can get. just don’t be fooled tho, just because it’s supposed to be better, doesn’t mean it is. you need to know what is in your dogs food at the very least. the first 2- ingredients should be meat! not a buy product or essence or whatever the fuck they try to sell u. also know that when you look at the label, any ingredient below salt is in less than 3% of the meal. don’t be fooled people. the more you look for what i’m saying the faster you’ll realize these companies don’t give a fuck about dogs. they practically can sell plastic in the bag and it’s still legal. and for the love of god if the first three ingredients or legumes, peas, potato or corn GET YOUR DOG A DIFFERENT FOOD. DOGS NEED MEAT.
I love Matsu... he's SOOOO cute!!
Awww thank you!
I’ve been feeding my husky raw since we got her at 5 weeks, (we transitioned her to raw), but over time she’s refusing to eat raw, she’ll eat cooked meats but just outright refuses raw. At one point she was refusing anything raw, I was desperate so I gave her some cooked ground beef, she loved that. Once in a while she’ll come over if I’ve got raw grass-fed ground beef and eat a few bites but then refuses anymore. Not sure what else to do, I’ve tried dressing it up a bit with tiny pieces of Feta cheese or add nutritional yeast, still not eating her raw stuff. So now I’m giving her cooked muscle meats, raw egg, some carrots, blueberries, peanut butter, banana.
Ugh.
I just cannot bring myself to give her commercial dry dog foods, and this video is further proof why I shouldn’t.
Thank you!!!
I know how you feel! My German Shepherd doesn’t eat his raw food at times and it gets on my nerves! Wanna know what works for me? Put her bowl out for 15 mins during breakfast and dinner. If she doesn’t touch it, back in the fridge it goes. Repeat the next day. Dogs aren’t suicidal, she’ll get the memo soon and start devouring it the next day or two. It hurts seeing them hungry but it’s a reminder to not play games with your food! My dog Sheru does it on occasion and needs those reminders every once in a while. So don’t feel bad! Good luck hun!
@@komalkaurr I’m sure you’re right. I’ve tried that too, she’s so stubborn 😂. She outlasted me. But I’ll try it again.
Thank you!!❤️
@@komalkaurr My dog stopped eating raw food, I realised, cold from the fridge had no flavour except chill factor
I started adding warm lamb/beef/chicken broth & he loved it
Taking food out of fridge, leaving it abit so it's not chilled, brings out more flavour & isn't cold for the stomach, I'll add raw egg, sometimes sardines,etc & no more problems
Love these videos!!!
"Here I am..." WUHHH SO PRETTY
🥺🥺🥺
It breaks my heart to rewatch this video. The ingredient panel is the last thing to look at to evaluate a diet! It’s not a tool to evaluate the quality of a diet but a tool for pet food marketers to manipulate us. The ingredient panel goes by weight, not volume. So the first j Greg isn’t is just the heaviest! So they play with ingredients to fool you! And no where in this video dies the author mention nutrients! That’s what affects your dogs health! And she shows a Science Duet and a Prescription Diet that are so-totally different! I’m sorry but her 4 years in a vet clinic didn’t teach her much. I live her passion but she needs to learn a lot more. It’s too important!
Why are you dumping on Farmina here!? Farmina is a fantastic brand!! They use a lot of meat and it's high quality. They don't use fillers and are very particular with their ingredients.
I like Farmina! That's the brand I'm showing as a higher quality dry food (but more expensive which can be a con for some)
@@PawsofPrey Oh okay, that's good. I was just confused and misunderstood since I saw you were showing it and circling it while saying "low quality dog foods may advertise that they are meat based but it may just be a trick". (I know most people wouldn't know it was Farmina) But I can see now you intended to use Farmina as a good example of a truthful brand. I'm a pet nutritionist and I recommend the kibble and cans to my clients all the time! If I ever have super stubborn clients who insist on still feeding some kibble to their cats, it's one of the few kibble brands I find acceptable.
@@VARY78 just curious what other kibble brand is acceptable to you? I also noticed this part while watching. I didn’t know Farmina before but after researching it I decided to give it a try. I can’t afford 100%raw at the moment so would like to know what other “acceptable” kibble options. Thank you in advance!
@@yuanyuanm8417 I HIGHLY recommend adding water to the kibble if you can't afford any wet/raw. If your cat doesn't get enough moisture in their diet it can lead to kidney and urinary stones and even renal failure. But some other acceptable brands I'd say are Open Farm, Stella & Chewy's, Orijen, Instinct, and Nulo. Carna4 is another phenomenal one as good as Farmina, however, it's super expensive.
@@VARY78 Thanks for the tips and I am glad I’ve already done it! I made home cooked food for my dogs and always add a lot of ice water to cool down the food, then add the kibble. They always drink the water first before eating other stuff in the bowl😄
Thank you for pointing out that companies that sell that dog food are funding vet schools (smuckers and mars to name the biggest)... I thought feeding raw was going to be such a challenge as compared to kibble but I have found inexpensive and convenient ways to go about it like buying ground meat and feeding bones like chicken wings whole as opposed to sectioning them (it happens to work out with her bone needs). Eggs are easy, goatmilk is easy, and if I prep the other foods ahead of time for a few days, it's not a challenge at all and she loves it and is so happy! I'm glad I found your channel so I could prepare- she has been eating raw from day one off mom's milk and I feel fortunate to have known about this before even getting a puppy. : )
Absolutely! I'm so glad my channel could help you :) and happy to hear she was weaned right to raw!
Raw is the best. I never knew about it, even scared of it until I found your vids. 4 months after my dog was diagnosed with diabetes I had to send him to heaven. I believe switching him to raw gave me those last 4 months with him. Thank you for all your work in getting these vids out. I am forever grateful to you for it & will never feed my future dogs kibble again.
Thank you so much for the kind words, this is very touching. I'm so sorry you had to watch your baby go though that, but it makes me happy knowing his life was extended with some good food
Your videos are so helpful and informative, thank you for explaining in detail and debunking misinformation without being condescending! I was curious if you knew anything about the raw food brand Maev or the kibble brand Jinx? I couldn’t find any information online about them since they are newer brands… I was also wondering what your view on adding bone broth to dog food was? I love your videos, thanks for creating!!
Love your channel, lots of good info! I feed my dog better as a result
Sad that people who don’t know anything about canine or feline nutrition make videos and continue the misinformation.
This is bull crap…
The veterinary business is a racket that capitalizes on the emotional attachment with our pets.
Yes, you can get quality food at a supermarket without the huge mark-ups and marketing of a veterinary brand.
I feed Fromm kibble and I add a small amount of raw chunks of meat to it and then either bone broth or kefir to hydrate it! It seems to be working well for my dog. 😊
Somehow, a chain supermarket in the UK( Asda ) actually stocks Lillys Kitchen for cats and dogs! For those who don’t know, Lilly’s wet food is almost the equivalent of Tiki Cat in other parts of the world
petagree is really bad for your dogs my dog stoped eating his food and we were confuised so we took him to the vet and she asked what were we feeding him and i said petagree chum she told me that it was very bad for his teeth and if i kept feeding him it he would get sick and thats why he stoped eating his dinner so now i have changed his food and i am very happy and my dog is starting to eat his dinner again
10 dogs makes it impossible to feed raw but I do my best to counter the kibble using recommendations from a clinical nutritionist
hey 4th comment! todays my birthday as well!
Happy birthdayyyy! :3
You have to have your TV programme.
Can you try reviewing SDN dog food?
I am having to put my cat Lily on a food trial for the next 6-8 weeks and am needing to feed her Hills z/d formula which has corn starch as the 3rd ingredient 😑. It’s killing me having to give her this food. Hopefully we can diagnose her allergy quickly so I can put her back on a healthier diet with a protein she isn’t allergic to as soon as possible. Thanks for all you are doing to educate pet owners on healthier food options❤
Hills science diet is horrible food. Don't feed them wheat corn or soy. Allergies.
should i feed those fresh food packets?
My vet told me to feed royal canin and it almost killed my dog. It was before I knew anything about dog food, but I started researching better food and switched her. 2 weeks later she was acting like a puppy again
I swear they do it to make pets sick so you keep coming back to them.
What do you feed your dog?
I fed royal canin for a while then heard horror stories and quickly switched!!
I buy my dogs food form the grocery store..........his fresh raw meat for this DIY raw diet 🤣🤣
Your animal are super cute 😍
Thank you :')
This is just amazing it just seems these collages need to rework what they know about pet food.
I did all these things with my cat. The results:
Diabetes and feline inlammatory bowel disease.
I make my dog food for him he doesn't like dog food at all
Can you do a video on the simplefood projecf
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have AAFCO on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have AAFCO on your side
Every action has an equal opposite reaction
Thanks to The pet food industry , animal lovers are fractured into factions
Try not to crack under the stress, we're breaking down like fractions
We smack each other on the web, and we don't print retractions
I get no satisfaction witnessing their fits of passion
The way they primp and preen and dress like the pits of fashion
Our companions , our pets, live on unhealthy rations
As big kibble robs 'em blind in search of chips to cash in
These pricks are asking for someone to bring them to task
Somebody give me some dirt on their vacuous mask
So we can, at last, unmask them
I'll pull the trigger on them, someone load the gun and cock it
While we were all watching, they got The veterinary schools in their pocket
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have AAFCO on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have AAFCO on your side
Look back at the NRC Guidelines(Which I wrote!)
The ink hasn't dried
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have AAFCO on your side
So they’ve doubled the amount of grain in the food
Wasn't the trouble with much of our previous grain load?
Look in their eyes
See how they lie
Follow the scent of their enterprise
Selling down, dead, diseased, dying and drugged animals to rendering plants
If we don't stop it, we aid and abet it
George Ferguson has to resign
Somebody has to stand up for our pets
Well, somebody has to stand up to the vets
If there's a fire you're trying to douse
You can't put it out from inside the house
The FDA is in the cabinet, They are complicit
And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it
If AAFCO isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents
This is the difference, this kid is out
Oh! This kibble isn't something we chose
Oh! These recalls are keeping us all on our toes
Oh! Let's show these Corporations what they're up against
Oh! Pissed off motherfucking Pet parents
Oh! Now follow the money and see where it goes
Oh! Because every second, the recalls grow
Oh! If we follow the money and see where it leads
Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of big Kibbles's misdeeds
It must be nice, it must be nice
Follow the money and see where it goes
It must be nice, it must be nice
The emperor has no clothes
We won't be invisible
We won't be denied
Still, it must be nice, it must be nice
To have AAFCO on your side
This is glorious.
Oh my! D……did you compose this mas….masterpiece?
i also feed a balanced cooked diet is that ok still?
Absolutely!
If I may ask, what's your recipe?
@@nicolezhu614 yes of course! shes a 26 pound dog, she gets 9 oz cooked venison (i switch it up but rn she gets venison), .5 oz beef liver, .5 oz beef heart (i switch it up), 2 tbsp bone broth, 1 tbsp canned pumpkin for vt. A, some canned in water sardines for omega 3, 1 tsp kelp powder for iodine, 1 tbsp goat yogurt (for the supplements), 1/4 tsp turmeric (for her joints, i do agility with her so i want her joints to have support) i formulated this plan and im only 12! i think its balanced i mean it has the basics and some other additives
@@serenitytew8225 wow! I'm so impressed that you are able to formulate your dog's diet despite your young age! Keep up the good work! I would love to feed my dog a cooked diet if I ever do get a dog.
@@bbkiki8480 if u were to get a dog def put them on a raw/cooked diet i do i cooked bcs of sanitary reasons (theres young children around my house)
What dry dog food do you recommend
I have a video on that here! th-cam.com/video/vJzzTe9mXtw/w-d-xo.html
Orijen all the way
@@VARY78 MARS bought Orijen and Acana 😫😫😫😫😫
@@kartkeys yup. very tragic. Farmina and Open farm are the only kibble I'd ever feed now
Great video. Check your insta inbox when you have time
Thank you for including Hills and Royal Cain.... and BIG THANK YOU for mentioning these corps fund Vets this is why they recommend this product.
Hey I read somewhere that you’re not supposed to mix raw foods with dry food at the same time? Something about digestion time. Have you ever heard of this?
Yep I have a video on it! th-cam.com/video/iP5ohUddFOY/w-d-xo.html
Is that your grandparents’ dog at 0:29? Have you said something to them about his nails? They’re horrible :( he’s also obese, the poor thing
Yep, I cut them, bathed him, and put him on Darwins raw. lol
From that Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:17 GOD LOVES AND BLESS YOU!!!✝✝✝
Went to the grocery store today, bought a whole chicken, chicken parts with bones, beef with bones, chicken heart, carrots, pumpkin, apples, celley, banana. Tomorrow I'll make a smoothie with the veggies, cook the pumpkin for carbs, add some oil and cocos to the chicken parts. Beef with bone is desert.
Beef bones are too dense to be consumed, however they are great for making bone broth. Is this all to give as treats along with commercial food or are you using this as the sole diet? If so, a dressed chicken and a veggie smoothie wont provide enough nutrients. Here's a video where I explain how to balance a homemade raw diet: th-cam.com/video/iux2QpivRYA/w-d-xo.html
