I have been working and studying dog food dos and donts for awhile. You summed everything up! So many good points. I agree with just about every suggestion. 🇨🇦
As with anything, there's no one size fits all. For my dog, changing her diet causes serious issues, and finding treats I could give her took a while because all the regular things I've given my dogs in the past make her sick. I found a great brand that drastically improved her coat and her overall health and was recommended by a nutritionist.
Great video! It's as though you read my mind with everything you mentioned. Sometimes, it seems like vets don't want to give straight answers. I love your content and so do my 2 chihuahuas! Thank you.
I'm a vet and I approve of this message. It's funny because not only did I not disagree with a single point, most of your points were exactly what I tell my clients, for example for lesson 30, I tell my clients exactly what you said, that every dog is different but ideally once a day seems preferable in particular for weight loss
Currently feeding a variety of food raw, kibble, unkibble, freeze-dried and occasionally wet food and switch up toppers at least 3 different toppers each meal
Yes always get the pet insurance! And if you have a purebred dog, make sure if covered the genetics concerns from your breed. I have dobermans so this is really important me.
Please do a review of nulo and diamond naturals-for my dogs I fed canidae and then switched to diamond naturals. For my next dog I was thinking on using nulo.
Dogs and humans share some similar digestive processes, but there are significant differences that are important to understand. First, digestion time varies greatly between the two species. Dogs digest food much more quickly, typically within 4 to 12 hours, whereas humans can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. If you were to eat only once a day, you would likely feel hungry, nauseated, and experience an upset stomach due to acid build-up. Dogs, on the other hand, are built for faster digestion. It’s crucial to remember that dogs have been domesticated, and their digestive systems have evolved over time. Therefore, it’s not accurate to compare their digestion directly with that of wild dogs or wolves. The food they consume today also plays a significant role in their digestion. I firmly believe that feeding puppies and adult dogs only once a day is not ideal. Also, dogs are far more active - which they need food to sustain their engery. Just think about it-would you choose to eat just once a day? It’s clear that dogs need more frequent meals to maintain their health and well-being.
Many humans do eat once per day but just like you said, we are two totally different species. Also, it’s not “clear” that we need to be feeding dogs multiple times per day for health. Any sources backing this up?
I think my rescue has a protein intolerance. He thrives on gravy train dog food and nothing else. It’s been about 10 months of finding something that works for him because even the best kibbles are super bad for him and the homemade food all my dachshunds thrive on was effecting him wrong. But now that I use a higher veggie and grain ratio he is doing amazing on raw! He still needs seasonal medications but he’s now able to eat fresh foods like the rest of my dogs. I haven’t seen the benefits come through yet but I’m excited. My dachshunds have never been better. I still struggle with teeth health but I’m working on it. I just feel safer to manually brush their teeth rather then let them have bones that are not ground. I’ve always given big dogs bones but for my little ones I’m still nervous. I do give wing tips and chicken feet every now and then
My nephew has a male Golden Retriever. He eats at 6:30 and then at 10:00 am is barking like crazy because he wants to eat again. Then he is fine until the next morning. Any suggestions?
For some of the dog treats such as the chicken feet do you recommend any companies or brands to buy from? I found one by Campfiretreats but don’t see many outside reviews for them.
One per day that is absolutely hard for a dog…they need to eat balanced and teice a day helps a lot to regulate their intestand sugars. You jut said .. look what your dogs needs not what other tells rhem.
I'm currently feeding both raw and kibble at this time due to costs. Do you recommend feeding 50/50 per meal, raw in the morning and kibble at night, or kibble in the morning and raw at night?
I’m not an expert, but I feed my dogs kibble in the morning and gently cooked at night. I also feed their kibble in enrichment toys like balls, sliders and snuffle balls. They’re chi, chi-mix vacuum eaters so the toys slow them down.
I'm not saying you are wrong about cooked mushrooms, but just before I seen your video I read the 12 poisonous things to feed dogs and mushrooms was one on the list. ? Not sure.
Dogs are CARNIVORES, I fed my dogs dry food for decades. Guess what? They NEVER screamed for it! Since I switched my dogs to raw meats, THEY SCREAM with excitement when I go to the kitchen to prepare their dinners!! That's all the endorsement I need. But there's more, of course. Things I don't have time to get into. Have you noticed how busy your local vet is these days? How dogs and cats are contracting HUMAN degenerative diseases? They are DYING YOUNGER. And they're SICKER as they are doing it!! I have too much to say and even saying this much is pushing my buttons in a harsh way.
No, dogs are omnivores. Eating nothing but meat is not healthy for them. Dogs live much longer now then before kibble was created and improved. There are junk pet foods but most are not terrible. And feeding grocery store meat is likely to have bad bacteria in it that are unsafe to feed uncooked. And eggs should be cooked before giving them to pets because the egg whites will cancel out the benefits of the yolk. But cooked they are good for them.

Primal has been a game-changer!

Chia seeds work great too!
Really. I take chia seeds but never heard my dog could have them.
I luv your content I can't believe the way I feed my dogs i didn't realize how harmful most dog food is
❤️❤️❤️
Don't beat yourself up. Start small. I switched to Sundays for Dogs in July and my 2 dogs love it. We are always learning!
tried enrolling in your Homemade Diet Guide for Dogs course, but the not able to process payments
What about salmon oil caps?

So then why are you commenting?

Makes sense to me. Just wasn't sure. Been trying things to help with constant scratching, licking and biting her feet.
Is the once a day feeding for puppies too?
Puppies should eat 2-3 times per day!
@ thank you! I thought that was prob more adult dog advice but wanted to make sure:)
I'm not saying you are wrong about cooked mushrooms, but just before I seen your video I read the 12 poisonous things to feed dogs and mushrooms was one on the list. ? Not sure.
Human safe mushrooms are also safe for dogs
He also said to cook them for 20 minutes so I figured there wasn’t much left of a 20 minute cooked mushroom! 😂
We talk poop daily as in what is it todAy on scale 1-10...10 being the best!😁
Dry food is crap!
Dogs are CARNIVORES,
I fed my dogs dry food for decades.

Hard to watch with the upspeak
What’s that mean
Feed you dogs meat!
Just get rid of the kibble
Yep. Raw or gently cooked meat and eggs.
LESSON #1…DONT FEED KIBBLE…EVER.
Chill
