I did this over a period of years ... kept adding supplements until my boy refused to eat and only did so when super hungry. I only figured it out a couple of months ago, but he is eating regularly again! Whew, Thank the stars for that. Now I am going to find out what these wise folks think is best and go with it. Thank you for sharing this important info❣
Thank you for this VERY interesting video on your advise for healthier dogs... l would be thrilled if you could please tell us how to introduce these five foods into their diet... or do you perhaps make a nice concoction with these five ingredients !?! Could you also please repeat your advise on the four Omega3 oils you've suggested... except for the Hemp oil, l've missed the others because of a language barrier !🥲 Will olive oil be good at all !?! I shall look forward to hearing from you... thank you in advance ❣️
We have a great article that goes into further detail that we think would be very helpful! It will break down each ingredient and when you should use them! :) www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/functional-foods-every-dog-needs/ For an Omega supplement, we suggest Four Leaf Rover's Safe-Sea! thenaturaldogstore.com/products/four-leaf-rover-safe-sea

Thanks for all your great info. Love your magazine and videos. ;0) I am wondering how much plant based nutrients dogs can actually benefit from? For example, I have used Camelina oil for my dogs, as it is supposed to have the perfect balance of Omega 3,6 and 9 for them, (and I have heard that there can be issues with fish oil that goes bad). I have since seen some information that dogs do not process plant based nutrients the way we do. So just because blueberries and mushrooms are wonderful for us, does it make them good for our dogs? My GSDs won't even eat blueberries unless I hide them in their raw meat. I know dogs produce more of the amylase gene for digesting carbs than wolves do, but I'm still on the fence about whether or not we need to be adding plants to their diet, especially if they are on raw muscle meats, organs and tripe. It's very confusing, as we all want to do the right thing by our dogs. Thanks again for all your wonderful articles and opening our eyes to a better way to care for our pets.
To each their own! Wolves often eat the stomach content of their prey, which would be plant matter which dog's don't have access to on their own. Dogs do certainly benefit from the nutrients in things like Blueberries and mushrooms. Ultimately it is the owner's choice if they want to provide them with those extras :) Some feed them, some feed only meat, organs, and bone!
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM Thanks for responding. I do appreciate it. There is so much information out there it can make your head spin LOL I had a Rottweiler years ago that LOVED to go berry picking with us. She also ate grapes off the vine that we had, (even though she shouldn't have). I agree that all dogs are different. If mine would eat blueberries, I would be thrilled. As for wolves eating stomach contents of their prey, perhaps the small stuff like rabbits, mice or birds, but I live in an area where we have wolves and coyotes and have found relatively fresh deer kill. They actually seem to shake out the stomach contents of the deer, but they eat the stomach for sure. I have seen the grasses and bits left behind on the ground that had been in the deer's stomach. I am just really glad that we are learning more on how to better feed and care for our dogs. Thanks again for your wonderful posts and your magazine. Which reminds me, I do need to renew ;0)
It is nice that you paired it down to 5 essential that will impact a dog's health the most. However you neglected to including frequency and quantity (amount per lb of dog's weight). Although these are natural foods if fed in excess they can cause an imbalance and make a dog sick. If given too little any benefits will be minimal and the effort wasted. I wish you would mention how much for fresh form and powdered forms.
If you're feeding raw mushrooms, just make sure they're cooked thoroughly. Then you're not feeding them raw, are you? lol We actually can feed them raw. Cooking will destroy so many of their benefits. Any mushroom we can eat, so can our dogs.
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM well Dr. Karen Becker says raw is fine. I'll go track her down and ask about this although I'm sure she's not going to contradict what's written in The Forever Dog.

Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
So if you are feeding raw mushrooms you have to cook them?
Mushrooms are safer when cooked. The polysaccharides need to be released from the cell walls, which is done so in the heating of the mushrooms.
Chlorella and kelp. Are they the same thing? I am feeding my kelp
They are not the same thing! But have some similar qualities. Kelp does not help with detoxing like Chlorella.
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM If I am feeding kelp to my dog should I also add Chlorella to her meal? Thank you

We talk more about quantity in the article linked in the video description :)

You should also look into paul stamets work hes a mycologist who also agrees mushrooms should be cooked before eaten
