- I constantly have people asking about the price per pound or concerned that the high-quality pet foods I tend to recommend are unreasonably priced. In today's video we calculate the COST PER FEEDING to find out whether or not high-quality pet foods are actually way more expensive than their "budget friendly" counterparts.
You may be surprised by just how many high-quality foods may be within your budget!

I just watched your cat food reviews and I've been comparing prices. Not gonna lie, I'm awful at math and would love a video like this for cat food. Great videos! Keep up the great work!
You put a tonne of effort into your videos and it really shows! Love your work!
I’m getting a puppy next month and I was planning on feeding taste of the wild but now I think I might go with nutrisource. This video was super helpful. Please do one for cats next!
Congratulations on your new puppy!
@@TheTattooedDogTrainer Hi would you recommend the brand nutrisource?
She loves nutrisource
This was such an informative video! You’re so down to earth & authentic, I think it’s so easy for experts in this space to take an elitist approach on what & how to feed dogs. I would love for you to do a fresh food review series! I see SO many reviews between Farmer’s Dog & Ollie - but I’ve been feeding my pups Nom Nom and am wondering about that?
For years I thought I had a great balance between my dogs nutrition and my wallet…turns out I’ve been burning money and my dogs could have been eating better!
Super thankful for this info!❤
I've never read a book so fast! th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.
Can you review the Open Farm food?
Thank you for your hard work putting content like this together! I love it!
Thanks so much for this information! What you say here makes soooooooo much sense, and you've presented it so clearly. I used to be one of those folks who only looked at the price per pound, but duh! - now I totally get it. I look forward to watching more of your videos, cheers!
This is a great way to think about the cost of dog food. One brand that I would love to hear your thoughts on is Kirkland’s natures domain.
Except when she conflated ounces with fluid ounces. You can’t convert from pounds (a weight) to cups (a volume) by dividing by 2. You would have to divide the mass of the food by its density, which we won’t know when standing in the store.
Boooo booo it's bad. Boo. Made my dog lethargic
@@DeltronZero656 You actually can get that in the store for most brands. Most brands list the kCal per cup and the kCal per kg on the bag. Take the kCal per cup divided by the kCal per kg and you get the kg per cup, which can easily be converted to oz per cup if you wanted. Doing it correctly gives wayyyyyy different results than what she got here.
I suggest looking these up on FDA. Only two on this list aren't cited for congestive heart failure in dogs...
Thanks for this comment. I also look for brands that have never been recalled.
There is no evidence linking legumes to DCM. Do your research and read peer-reviewed articles
Which are they?
You make excellent content. I have always wanted to give my service dogs (retired and in training) the best food possible to help them with thier hard work. You educate so thoroughly and touch on all of the things I care about including ethics behind the companies. Really this shows you can feed a high quality food for less than you may think. Love it!❤
I have an extremely picky 11 month old Rottweiler who generally dislikes any kibble. Even though I give her canned wet food too, she often lets the kibble sit for an hour or more before getting hungry enough to eat it. She grew tired of Purina ProPlan Salmon & Rice limited ingredient kibble, so we now have her on Zignature Salmon kibble. What helps her eat the kibble is a topper. Either bone broth, or Katherine Heigl's Badlands Ranch Superfood (quite expensive). I can't imagine feeding a dog dry kibble alone, much less inexpensive, unhealthy, low quality kibble. I realize that family budgets often necessitate lower quality dry kibble dog food, but it can't be healthy at all.
I feed my dog Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream grain free recipe. I thought it was a decent brand especially since my dog has a lot of allergies, and it’s hard to find a good dog brand that is affordable, and there r some good brands I can afford but they all have mixed meats in there recipes or they all have pumpkin, and my dog is allergic to chicken, Turkey, pumpkin, dairy and I think she is allergic to beef to, so it’s very difficult to find something for my dog including treats. I was gonna try Zignature but my dog was already eating taste of the wild so I stayed with the brand just changed the flavor. And I always add toppers because my dog is picky, she can’t eat on kibble without toppers. That’s just me lol
@@janelle4700 Thanks for sharing. Always good to hear from others regarding how and what they feed their pooches.
I make my own bone broth from scratch. I use the leftover bones from raw pork, beef, chicken and boil it with ginger, turmeric, and parsley. He loves it.
I agree with the idea of what you are doing here--measure cost based on a day's serving size and not based on cost per pound. But the assumption that all dog foods have the same weight per cup (you used 8 oz per cup) is a huge assumption that can really affect your results. Some food brands are going to be more dense, and that could be why they suggest giving your dog less cups of food. If you actually measured the weight per cup for each brand, then you'd have an accurate representation of the cost per serving for each brand.
Edit: Now that my pup has grown up, I thought I'd come back to this to re-calculate because I'm deciding on an adult food. The density of the food (oz per cup) matters A LOT, and not taking it into account skews the results. A lot of dog food makers actually provide the serving size in weight as well as volume (usually in grams, so it just needs to be converted to ounces) or if they don't, every brand provides the kCal per cup and kCal per kg for their food, and the number of oz per cup can be calculated from there. Below are the costs per day that I got when taking this into account. Note that this is based on the price I can get these foods for--it's going to be different depending on where you live--but all my prices were pretty close to yours. Also some of your serving sizes were off (Fromm and FirstMate were very far off) based on the info I could find on each company's website, so the amounts are based on what they had on their website.
Nutrish: $1.58
Iams: $1.80
Purina Pro Plan: $1.96
*NutriSource: $1.98
*Fromm: $2.21
Taste of the Wild: $2.46
Blue Buffalo: $2.49
*FirstMate: $2.69
*Zignature: $2.83
As you can see, FirstMate ends up being one of the most expensive, and that's because it is by far the most dense food. It is nearly 5.5 ounces per cup, and the next most dense is Taste of the Wild at 4 oz per cup. Also, like I said, the serving sizes you had aren't accurate according to the company's websites, which also affected the results.
These are all horrible foods
@@SummerHawaii582 Well, I disagree with that, but that really isn't relative to my comment. I was just taking the foods she used and re-doing the calculations with the correct density. I wasn't making any claims about the quality of any of the brands.
This is super helpful, love this! Happy to see Fromm on here since that’s what I use. Interested to see what Kirkland brand would be in there and for cats
Can you do a video on fresh dog foods like freshpet, farmers dog, full moon, Ollie... Kinda rate from best to worst. I'm thinking of trying the full moon fresh food on my corgi/Chihuahua mix. She's so picky! She refused kibble and canned at the shelter. Ive tried raw, but she's not crazy about it... She likes freshpet but I don't like all the peas in it...
Omg I hope she does this type of video! Thanks for recommending this!
My vet recommended AllProvide, would love to see that on the list ! I was also looking at the brand Raised Right since they also use organ meat in the recipe
Well, fresh pet will be last. Kinda crappy
I’ve tried a lot of the fresh food brands, I feed my dog 50/50 fresh and dry food (tend to avoid canned food because of BPA). In my opinion, the best two are Spot & Tango and Ollie. S&P has the highest meat content and their quality seems the freshest and most appealing, but Ollie also seems quite palatable and maybe a bit more digestible since they mash/cook the vegetables a bit more. When feeding a small dog, the price difference is negligible, but with a larger dog Ollie is definitely the more affordable option.
Both of these brands also serve a dry food, but my dog wasn’t the biggest fan of Ollie’s baked food. We haven’t tried S&P’s unkibble though.
What dry kibble do you use? Also, I’ve got a 61 lbs english bulldog. Do you think Ollie is the best for fresh?
You literally deserve an award for making these graphs and doing the math on price per serving/day of feeding your pet. These would make it make sense to so many people who are skeptical of higher quality foods due to the price.
I have looked but cannot find if you have a video on small breed kibble dog food, for weight management. My 7 yr old dachshund is slowing down, I believe because she is heavy. I would appreciate your thoughts, and insight. .
I make my own and add it to their kibbles. Mine has tons of veggies, wild caught salmon, chicken thighs,quinoa, etc. i also use a small shaking of probiotics to their meals. I have BIG dogs so making my own helps me balance the expense of a good kibble. My fur babies LOVE my food and so do many doggies in the neighborhood. ❤
I know this is off topic, but I think you are som beautiful in this video. You're rocking those bangs and your makeup is on point.
You are my go to for when i finally get a dog. I love your channel and these videos. God bless ✝️❤
Yes! This was a wonderful breakdown! Thank you!!! It's definitely a struggle for many pet parents to see the value of a high quality kibble ... not just on the surface but also over time with reduced vet bills and health problems. ❤
We're so used to people food where a jar of peanut butter is going to have the same caloric density from one brand to another so the cost per ounce actually means something. Not here!
Thank you so much for this video!! It was super informative and will help us save money and get our boy eating the best food we can afford. Great video!!
Thanks for the great video. Full of great insights from a person knows what's going on.
Have you made a video on large breed dog food? Im going to adopt a Black Mouth Curr. Large breed dogs have different requirements than small breeds. Thanks. I trust your judgement & have been following it with my cats & dogs for several years.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nutrisource Element series. I work at a feed store and this is the kibble I recommend the most. On the back of the big bag it tells you there's 87 cups of food in the bag so the cost to feed is quite a bit less than the estimate in the video.
I wanted to try this one for mine but it’s over 100 bucks for a 24 pound bag 🫣 and I have 3 pit bulls, I hate how they upped the prices and made the bags smaller 😢
@@Lala.10 look into their Super Performance. It's a 40# bag for about $20 less than Element. And it's 32% protein 530 kCal/cup vs 34% 500kCal
Hi, can you detail your education as a pet nutritionist? There are some nutrition certification programs that only require a quick 2 week course. I like to check on rhis type of thing before taking internet advice. Thanks.
A 'certified pet nutritionist' -which this creator claims to be, typically refers to someone with a 4 year undergraduate degree in animal science or a related field who then goes on to become a certified pet nutritionist through a certification program but often through a veterinary organization like the ACVN (American College of Veterinary Nutrition).
Now, onto a deep dive because, like you, I had the same question. (:
**This is not an attempt to dox anyone, but an attempt to shed light on a murky situation. All of this info is publicly available with a quick google search.
On her dog training website, her credentials are as follows:
DNU- Pet Food Specialist
DNU- Raw Food Specialist
Apprenticeship- Vickie Pagan, Nutrition Specialist
The DNU presumably stands for Do Not Use, which means whatever course this person took no longer uses these titles for certification OR that the course no longer exists. We see this a lot with scammy online courses.
On her training website, many of the "title holders" a.k.a. customers from her in-person classes are from Oregon.
Facebook search shows Skylar Lynch is located in Medford, OR.
There is also a Vickie Pagan located in Medford, OR and this person owns a Pet Supply Store called: Nature's Pet Market of Ashland and Medford (two locations).
-You can learn more about the pet food store on their Facebook page. I have attached the link to their website, although it seems to be a dead end:
medford.naturespetmarket.com/medford/
Since Vickie Pagan was Skylar's mentor, and presumably has had a big impact on her thoughts and opinions, there are things of note here:
-Nature's Pet Market is part of the Earthwise Pet Franchise- which sells private labeled goods.
-Nature's Pet Market is marketed as a 'Nutrition Center' but I can't find any official certifications or qualifications for this being the case other than this is a personal opinion or marketing strategy.
-Nature’s Pet Market boasts about the benefits of feeding Raw and the AVMA currently still discourages feeding a raw diet.
-Two of the top dog food brands marketed at Nature's Pet Market Nutrition (according to the Facebook page) include Zignature and Nutri Source.
Let's take a look at some interesting facts about Zignature using the formula mentioned in the video:
-Not all of Zignature’s formulas have undergone AAFCO feeding trials. Just one formula per product line.
-Zignature is a food marketed towards ‘All Life Stages’ which means their formulas do not individually cater to the needs of large breeds, seniors, etc. It is essentially puppy food (which is known to be notoriously high in fat).
-This formula also contains a high percentage of chickpeas and peas. Tufts University has a study that established a link between foods containing pulses like chickpeas, peas and lentils and the diet-related heart disease DCM in dogs. While correlation does not equate to causation, and more investigation is still being done, this is something to take into consideration.
TLDR: My key takeaway:
1. Why all of the posturing? If you don't have an official title, that’s fine. Call yourself a pet food ‘coach’ if you really want to make money at it. Or, if you’re just a nerd about pet nutrition (like me) and animal welfare, you can just call yourself a pet food advocate. You don’t need a cert. to share your opinion online.
2. This person should consider using a ‘this is my opinion’ disclaimer before proceeding with a video that is so clearly anti-science. A video where she recommends 'boutique' brands that are at bare minimum meeting the AAFCO regulations and that fall far below meeting WSAVA guidelines instead of more regulated and well-researched brands.
3. The top 5 WSAVA brands are Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Purina, Iams, and Hill’s Science Diet (i.e. heavily backed by tons of intense scientific research and food trials).
4. If you are interested in an actual Veterinarian break down the full AAFCO required information by brand, I encourage you to look into AnimalDocRea here on TH-cam.
P.S. These other brands still need to do a lot more QC testing and evidence-based nutritional research before they can be considered a ‘go-to’ option. Marketing phrases like ‘all natural’ ‘organic’ and ‘grain-free’ are nothing but attempts to sound appealing and take your money. You can hate on big corps all you want, but until these ‘boutique’ brands have the evidence to stand up against decades of research done by WSAVA and countless Universities;
To quote the great Randy Jackson:
“That’s gonna be a [YIKES] from me, dawg.”
I replied to this question, but it seems as though my reply has been hidden.
Can you do a review of Sunday, Ollie, Farmers dog, etc - the freeze dried and/or refrigerated or air dried options?
This was an excellent video to make!! I even knew that you feel less of a high quality food...but I wasn't considering that at all for some reason. Thank you thank you thank you. Well done
I refigured this on my own, with a spreadsheet and was able to find information that took me even deeper than the easy math here. NutriSource chicken and rice is more nutrient dense than the beef and rice listed in this video, and I am able to feed my 53lb lab for roughly $40 a month. I did break my spreadsheet a bit farther down into cost per meal and cost per day lol. We've been very happy with NutriSource. I do always find myself still googling and searching foods even though I am comfortable with NutriSource and recommend it anytime someone asks for a food recommendation. Dog food is such a rabbit hole lol.
At our home, we love Victor! I have Boxers, they have ALOT of allergies, and Victor has solved our problems after many mistrials ❤❤
Which Victor do you use?
@@vickigonya9432 Multi pro and high pro plus, one is a yellow bag, the other is teal,
Thank you for your all your work. Good information for most people who really care about their pet’s health.
That's the goal!
Thank you for making these videos. You put a lot of effort into them and I appreciate it!
What do you think of NutriSource choice line?
Can you tell me the best dog food for my Shepherds. I am feeding them Victor dog food Lamb and brown Rice. I am concerned about cancer due to both of my dogs having cancer. I did feed them Natural Balance before. I really would appreciate you thoughts. My dogs are 2 years old. Thanks
Great video! Very insightful! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in your videos!!! ❤
Thanks for watching!
We need one of these each year a review as well puppy food and small breed
I loved this! Trying to find a good quality food that aids your dog and helps them in the long run is WORTH IT! They rely on us to take care of them and feeding good quality food or supplements that helps them achieve the best then they can be! 🥰 I’d be curious on seeing Nutro or Simply nourish!
Thank you so much! I’m adopting a dog in June and I was so worried that I would have to spend $300+ a month to properly feed my 60lb dog. What is your opinion on subscription based dog food companies? I’ve been getting a lot of ads for them recently.
I like diamond natural imo it’s a good brand or taste of the wild ancient grains ❤❤
Thank you for including First Mate. It's sooo good for the price.
I’d like to say that my personal vet has seen the differences in diet for a litter of puppies and their bone density and she says that puppy formula causes joint issues and to use adult dog food. Do with that what you will, just wanted to put that out there.
I’m definitely going to check out a pet supplies plus and see about nutrisource or Fromm. I think they even have ziwi and zignature. This has been immensely helpful since I’ve been thinking about switching from Orijen since Mars bought them out.
I know this is an old video vut if your still active if like to know gow you feel about Pure balance wild and free Salmon and pea (walmart brand) and Diamond natrals (i think its tractor supplys food. Both foods have decent first ingredients but i dont know what to look for as far as bad ingredients.
Do you have a review of Nulo? I was recommended by the person who also cares about the ingredients
Is there a particular reason you chose the weight managemtn for Fromm?
Please do a review on badlands ranch dog food!!?? It’s Katherine Heigl’s brand & im curious if it’s a celebrity cash grab or actually high quality food.
I have a question in pruina pro plan. The sensitive stomach formula don't have corn, wheat etc so are those considered better quality?
Thank you as always for your videos. Our frenchie has been doing great on Carna4 kibble and Farmina wet foods based on your recommendations but at $200 a month for a 30 lb dog we’ve been looking at budget friendly options so this video hit home with us.
Can you do a video on diets for specific dogs, like cane corso
I need help finding a good dog food for both and also one with high protein for husky and probiotics for older dog
Excellent coverage ❣️🤩😎🧁🧁🧁
Great video! Between the nutri source, firstmate and Fromm which you you recommend to have the better ingredients?
Can you do a review on Carnilove it’s a dog/cat food brand from the czech republic i’ve heard that it’s a good choice but i want to hear your opinion aswell.
Can you do a video on vitamins and supplements? Like coat health, coat shine, joint health stuff?
I appreciate your video and knowledge about these foods and getting the information out to us pet owners and helping us be better informed on the stuff we give to our fluffy loved ones. I was curious to know if you had an opinion or more information about the Purina One True Instinct dry dog food? I was wondering how similar it actually is to the Purina Pro food, that you covered in this video. Thanks! And your doing a great thing for pets and their owners! 🥰🤘🏻
I stumbled on your video while researching how to get my picky chihuahua puppy to eat. I need to say that as an autistic dog lover who obsessed over dogfood quality 15 years ago when I was still kid free and had nothing but my Pug to occupy my mind and time: this video pushes ALL my buttons and makes me interested in the idea of canine nutrition as a career (or extensive hobby).
So interesting and informative!!!! Instant subscribe. ❤
Hey Skylar! Could you do something like this for cat food as well? This video was really helpful 💜
No she hates cats
@@u2fkeys665 in what way??
I believe she already has a few videos on cat food!
You should review each major stores brands like Kroger, HEB, Target , Walmart , tractor supply, Winco , Sam’s, and Costco, that’s where the majority of pet food especially dog food is bought the majority of us can’t afford to go to petsmart, petco, or chewie they all too high priced get with reality that the average family is making 25k-40k in America and needs the absolute cheapest but best among the cheapest
Thank you so much, don’t worry about the vet, I am the owner.. I am watching and I am feeding 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs
Thank you! Can do you a review or let us know your thoughts on open farm?
Thank You very much for this. I've been trying hard to improve my pets foods over the last few years. This totally clears up the decisions I need to make. I'd love to hear your opinion on 'Badlands Ranch' brand.
Thank you I will be trying to switch my dogs based on this info!
Hello! So I’m not American and most dry food that I actually can source in my country is honestly very bad quality, one of the best or more premium brands that I can get are ones like Royal Canin, there’s these brands that are starting to be imported, and I’d like your opinion on them since you haven’t named them on your reviews and I can’t find reviews on them; they are: Nutrique, Eukanuba, Cibau. I do try to cook my own dogs food but there are situations when I really don’t have the time to prep and make their food, so I’m looking for alternatives for those occasions, I do try to feed them kibble just a few times a week so they don’t get used to having only freshly cooked food because we travel for my health quite often and I can’t always have access to a kitchen. Thank you so much! I really been enjoying your videos!
Hi! Thanks for your videos. Could yo do Diamond Naturals Puppy formula? What are your thoughts?
Hi there! I had a question on ash. I’ve seen it in some dog foods and was wondering what exactly it is-I read it’s the minerals like calcium/phosphorus/magnesium-things like that. But what is the nutritional requirements (min/max)? Is there a thing as too much ash? Mainly the food I am referring to is NutriSource. Thanks in advance!
I really wish you had a video for foods that are best for our dogs with reoccurring yeast infections and if the diet significantly will make a difference.
It looks like this channel is no longer active. I can't see any videos newer than 5 months ago. I'm sad! I recently found you and get so much from your videos! 😟
I’ve really enjoyed the rankings. Can we get a ranking of the “Limited Ingredient” dog foods?
Can you please review Nulo? Specifically dog and cat kibble and wet cat food-mousse packets. Would love your take!!!!!♥️
Just my perspective here. I have a 68 pound dog , pretty active, and I prepare her food myself. I buy the 3 pound blocks of hamburger which are about $14 unless I can find them on sale ( I don’t worry too much about the fat content but I try to keep it low) And bags of frozen veggies. I mix the ground beef with about 2 cups of veggies and one cup of white rice ( before cooking). I think that’s around $16 each meal prep. That last about 4 days. So 30 ( days in a month) / by 4= 7.5 times I have to cook a month. And $16 times 7.5 is $120 a month. Way cheaper , and healthier ( I think) than bagged food. Of course she gets treats and bones occasionally.
Hello Skyler,,, question,,, who's Carna4 competitor ?Thank you for any feedback.
Do you have any reviews on Acana/Orjien? What are your thoughts on them now since Mars owns the company?
what type of dog food should I use for my pits who have sensitive skin. we have five dogs so I'm trying to stay on a budget as well
I love from. Salt may be bad in a dog food but that’s the same as giving ur dog table scraps when we eat meat with salt/pepper/garlic/onion seasoning.
Could you suggest what to feed my new puppy, she's currently 8 weeks old and still eating the grainfree dry kibble she came with from the breeder. We live in Europe so brands are different. Should I swap to a cold pressed dry food with some added wet? What are your thoughts? I don't know if she has any allergies yet
Skyler! Where are you? I miss your insights on such topics! Please can you share your thoughts on using freeze dried (raw) food for dogs? I plan to use them as treats
Which is Better Quality between Royal Canin... Fermina N and D and Taste of the Wild?....my 5 and half month Dobermann is starting Taste of the Wild Wetlands Grain free from now.... used to have royal canin maxi Starter before..... can u suggest which is the best quality Dog food for him.... Fermina.... Royal Canin taste of the Wild or anything else?.... help me please
I’ve been feeding nutrisource- my dogs love it!
any chance you'll do a best dog treats? i know you do a best dehydrated dog treats but what about the rest? is dehydrated the way to go? or are other options still feasible at a lower cost?
Great video, I have my dog on Nutrish which I always thought was high quality. Do you have any specific dry food recommendation for a 155lb cane corso?
acana heritage light vs

Do you have any thoughts on Sprouts dry dog food found at Fleet Farm?
I have two large dogs my husky is having issues with corn and my ten year old dog can not have chicken, my husky weighs 77 pounds eats two cups twice day and my ten year old dog weighs 51 pounds eats 1 1/2 cups
Do you recommend feeding dogs once or twice a day? Thank you
Super informative video! Can you do a video on calculating the cost per serving of freeze dried food like Small Batch Dog?
What at sealing and freezing portions of kibble to keep the freshness? Would freezing negatively effect the kibble?
Can you rate store brands like tractor supply 4health brand
What is your opinion on pure balance dry dog food? I have been feeding this food to my lab pit mix and I just want to make sure that he’s getting a good balanced meal. I also am concerned that he scratches a lot especially by his tail and he has dry skin and I have been thinking of switching his food because I don’t know what is causing him to scratch.
What's the BEST of for a bichon 11.4 lbs? Plz
What would you recommend to feed a three year old sheltie?
On the subject of cost per anything. Like you said, larger quantities tend to be better values, as long as they're consumed before going stale or bad.
I'm considering the method of storage.
QUESTION: Would a large, sealed (air-tight), tote be a worthy storage method for kibble, when using oxygen absorber packets?
Of course the packets should be changed out regularly, to ensure function.
Can you rate the new cooked pet foods that are all over the place now? Ollie, Farmersdog, JJFD, so on? I dont trust any of the other reviews because everyone has a referral link.
Great info, thank you. My pup gets Fromm and is doing well.
What’s your thoughts on nutrisource choice?
What are your thoughts on the hills science diet weight maintenance or adult dry dog kibble ?
Awesome video!!! Thank you! 😊
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Annamaet brand. Been feeding it for years.
So helpful--thank you! The shelter was feeding the cat and dog both Hill's (dry only!), but I can do better!
I have 2 Boston Terriers both a year old under 12lbs i currently feed them small breed baby blue. What is the best food to feed them? They do not get people food. I had read some foods contribute to tear stains can you help me please? Thank you
Hi, where does "Open Farm" rate on your spectrum? Ty!
I've watched your past videos and then took a canine nutrition course! my senior dogs eat diamond naturals duck formula, my puppy eats wellness core puppy food. I also add bone broth and cook them their own dog food on occasion. And yes the way diamond naturals does it- if you get the bag with duck as the #1 ingrediant they only sell it in bags up to 18lbs and I have to buy 2 bags of it per month (I have 4 senior dogs 1 is a pitbull) its extremely expensive at $36 something a bag.
