It is about time this information comes to the public!
what do you think about the brand primal? it's hard to find any of the brands you mentioned in the town i live in. Primal seems to be the popular raw food here. do you know anything about them?
What are your thoughts on the Zignature brand? Thanks!
@@dmarie4192 I have that same question about Zignature.
Thank you for sharing all the information. Can you review Blue Buffalo Life Protection for toy breed? Thanks!
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.
I love his show and thisjust summarizes and lays out all of the basic methods he uses on the show. What i love about this guide th-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d is that you don' need to read the whole book cover to cover ... You can skip to the chapter (lesson) you want to read about. The book is arranged almost as a problem-solving guide ... Here is the problem and here is what you need to know/do to correct it. This man knows his stuff ... But more importantly knows how to teach people how they can work with their pups themselves!
As a veterinary professional, I really enjoyed your video and your nutritional information. Only one minor correction that I think you would like to know: dogs are omnivores not carnivores. Their intestinal tract is actually longer than obligatory carnivores like cats but shorter than an herbivore's tract like a sheep or horse. That extra length allows them to process plant material as well as meat. There have even been studies of wolves in the wild that have found that they regularly eat plants, berries, and grains growing wild in addition to the plant material in their prey's stomach. You're absolutely right that meat should be the # 1 ingredient in your dog food, but vegetables and a small amount of carbohydrates are also important for dogs. Their carbohydrate requirement is much lower than what is in most dog foods, but some whole grain ingredient is important for fiber and digestion. But yes most dog food companies use carbohydrates as cheap fillers (and way too much of it) and if it's not a whole grain variety it does not have any nutritional value. Thank you for all the research you put into this video! : ) ♥️ And I love the way you broke down how each type of food is processed!
@LC what are your thoughts on Stella and Chewy’s wholesome grains? 🐶😃
@@user-ew3sp1hl6q Did you have a specific formula (flavor) in mind? Each recipe has different ingredients... If your sweet dog has any health concerns your vet can help you pick a diet tailored to his/her needs. And the first thing I ask a client when they want a food recommendation is what brand they are partial to. We can often look through the ingredients of different recipes to find one that their pet likes and avoids ingredients we know the pet is sensitive to. Also be aware of brands who's recipes include all life stages. Puppies, adults, and senior dogs all have different dietary requirements and their food should reflect that. I hope that helps. : ) I'm sorry if this answer wasn't specific enough, that brand makes several varieties of dog food. They seem to have quality ingredients, and I like that they are pea and lentil free for the ones I saw. Some studies have suggested that peas and lentils can contribute to canine heart disease (DCM). However I am also concerned that the ones I saw were for all life stages... Unfortunately without knowing the pet requiring the food it's difficult to make a recommendation. But during your next vet visit don't be shy to bring a bag of dog food (or the label) and ask the vet or a knowledgeable technician if they think these ingredients are right for your pet or if they recommend something else. Most staff are happy to give a recommendation and tell you what they fed their pets. : ) And believe me, anyone in the veterinary field learns quickly which foods create problems and which foods have a positive affect. As a pet parent it's wonderful that you are your pet's advocate and you take their food choices seriously. I'm sure you'll make a good decision for you baby. : )
Edit: after doing more research, I did find that many of their recipes have specific life stages. I'm by no means saying I think it's a bad food. I like many of their key ingredients. Just check with your vet to be sure and check any labels for life stage to make sure it fits your dog's stage. : )
Truth.
Glad your not my vet. Raw feeding
is the best way to keep your dog healthy and cancer free.
@@maureenpiccirillo1586 I'm not against raw feeding at all. I fed my own dog a freeze dried food that I rehydrated before feeding until recently in his old age (he's 13) he now requires a prescription diet. I don't understand why you thought I would be against raw food... I'm just cautious of any food cooked or raw that is labeled for all life stages. People have to live with their pet, and with the decisions they make about their pet's diet. Unless it's obviously harmful I don't try to sway owners either way. I offer the pros and cons of each diet and help them come to an informed decision. After all, they are also the ones paying for their pet's food. So I don't pressure them into foods that are not in their budget. It's all a balance of their pet's health, the owner's budget, the owners comfort zone and preferences, and the pet's preferences. : )
I genuinely love this video idea and it’s formatting! It gave me a lot more insight on pet food overall. I hope there are more “Rachel’s Ranking” videos because (like I said before), I LOVED this video!!! This is one of the endless reasons why this channel is one of my favorites ❤️
Your feedback always hit different, in the best way. I value your opinion so much! Ty!
This is awesome! Been sharing so my family and friends have the knowledge too ! Thank you Rachel !
Keep these type of videos comming.. super informative, eye opener for dog parents. So many people blindly believe kibble is the best thing for their dog. This videos help educate people or at least ask questions and think outside the box about what they are feeding their fur babies.
This encouragement means a ton! Food can be a very controversial topic, and my goal is for pet parents to learn something from my videos- not feel bad for their choice. I hope it helps inspire better bowls!
I Love your communication style ! You're Teaching information we're so hungry for. We've been so duped and lied to ! We know our dogs aren't as happy and healthy as they can be and there's even guilt associated with that. We're searching. I'm glad I've found your channel. May I add that you're easy to listen to; you're not yelling, you're not ranting or have exaggerated hand movements or distracting music, since I want to hear you clearly. I'm grateful for you. My dog is overweight : ( she's only 3 and a 1/2. Most dog cook books have precious few recipes but filled enough to publish a book full of "never kitchen tested' fluff. Thank you for your help
Ive finally switch my dog's food to raw food diet thanks to your video. my dog wasn't really eating his kibble, it would take him 5 or more hours to finish a scoop of kibble (and i thought he was sick) but when i started feeding him raw food he would always finish it in like 5min. thank you for all your video!
Love this vid! Can't wait for more series!
I get my puppy today and you’ve helped me so much over these past weeks. I’ve been watching you for about two years now. Thanks so much for helping me know more about what healthy things I can get my dog so they can live a long, happy life.
Hi Rachel ✋🏽i have been binge watching all day with my lil fur baby ,you are soo knowledgeable and calming to watch very soothing voice and tone i could watch all day everyday 😂and ur very pretty too i love ur channel and all the videos i love to shop i will be shopping from ur lists keep up the great works.🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
Love your suggestions I always follow them I came across your videos before getting a puppy a year ago and he's 8 months old and never gotten sick
Thanks❤
Means the 🌎 to hear this
Wow I love this lady and her advice and research.
I appreciate you and you taking the time in making the video I don’t have my puppy yet but i care about their health so videos like this really help people like me that don’t know left from right on this topic
love love love, thank you rachel!
I appreciate you ❤️
Thank you very much for this great video, it has helped me so much understand the difference foods.🐕🐕
Thank you for being here!!! #informedpetparent
Thank you so much for this very informative video ❤❤❤
This was fantastic! Love love loved this video! Thank you for going over all categories. I had switched my morkie poo around 3 months from science hill kibble, to DIY homemade, to now dehydrated food. I didn't have any time after awhile in making his food and buying raw was getting a little more expensive. For now, my 11 month old pup has been eating dehydrated food. Keep in mind, he WAS a picky eater. It really helped get super informed about dog food. People would tell me, "He's a dog and kibble cleans their teeth." When in reality, he's a dog that needs attention just as humans in regards to their diets.
Keep these coming - these topics are sooo important now more than ever! BTW - I got the yak milk treats BEST thing ever! My dog is 15 pounds for reference and has never chewed furniture or anything in the house because mental stimulation is KEY along with training. Those yaks are worth it! 😁
Eek 🙈😍🤩 You’re far too kind, I’m so thankful for you ✨✨✨✨
I feed my five-month old Australian Shepard/Poodle mix Carna4 and Bones & Co. I also add berries and/or veggies, organic fish oil, Green JuJu treats, and Bones & Co Goat’s Milk. She seems to be doing good on it and she likes it. Thanks for all your help! Learned about Bones & Co and Carna4 from you, Rachel. Thank you!!!
I have been looking for some information on this. I have a 10-year-old pitbull that has some health problems and I have been trying to find a better food to keep her more svelte. This was so informative I so appreciate this!
Very timely video! Dogfood is changing now. I loved the matrix ratings and wondered the final rating numbers for each category. I'll try to freeze frame and do the math myself. Kibble 21, Canned 21, Freeze dried 22, Air Dried 23, Cooked 13, Raw 14, DIY 10 ... maybe you could add nutrition rating to create more rounded rating?
Also thought you were going to add your preferences at the end of the video - but didn't see it. I know shorter videos are more viewed - I see the list linked.
Keep the videos coming ... very helpful.
Thanks Rachel for sharing! Your content is absolutely amazing! As someone who studied holistic nutrition - so grateful I stumbled upon you! New puppy in a few weeks and after researching many brands, I've narrowed down to The Honest Kitchen and Carna4. Love to know your thoughts/opinions on these brands!
SO excited for this series!! We are about to transition out new puppy to Spot and Tango’s “Unkibble.” It seemed like the most affordable option but I’m always worried we are making the wrong decisions for her with so many options out there! I would love your thoughts on it!
They are on my list!! Coming soon
That's a great option! My dogs love it.
THANK U SOOOOO MUCH FOR THISSSSSSS ❤
Open farm, Stella and Chewy, a pup above, instinct (both raw and raw coated kibble) tuckers raw, primal, fresh pet! I used to feed our shihtzu fresh pet and then discovered gently cooked fresh food at our pet store and switched to that. Our puppy switches between primal brand and tuckers raw!
Loved your video! I’d love for you to do a video on the best pre-made raw food brand…and the most cost effective raw brands? Thank you so much!
Thanks Rachel! Please review commercial fresh food brands like farmers dog, Ollie, nomnomnow and justfoodfordogs? ❤
I recently found your videos and I love them! I have learned so much that I wish I had known years ago! I have been feeding my dog frozen ‘Primal’ and ‘Instinct’ freeze dried. Could you do a review on those please? You are awesome 👏 Thank you 😊
Rachel, I hope all is well. I appreciate you taking the time to do something like this. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about all of these brands.
🌟🐶🐾
I’d REALLY love to see a review on Royal Canin, Primal, and SPECIFICALLY Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Baked Kibble (wholesome grains), Stella and Chewy’s Stella’s essentials wholesome grains, and Stella and Chewy’s Wild Red Wholesome grains!
🐶🐾
Thank you Rachel!! I hope you see this as we plan on switching up our dogs food and would love to get some answers about good foods.
All the best,
Loren
Hi Rachel, I would love you to review ‘spot and tango’! Thank you so much for your videos!
Bixbi brand kibble-it’s made locally (to me) in Boulder, CO. They make a kibble called Liberty, but they also make one called Rawble
Yes I’m familiar they are on my list!
Hi, Rachel. Thanks so much for this video! Do you think you can help us make a video about cooked food for dogs and how we can supplement certain minerals and vitamins? Thanks so much!
Honest kitchen and dr Marty’s review would be great. Love the channel and training tips.
Being a truck driver I have found it it's definitely very hard to go Raw. So I am very grateful for this video. So far what I have settled upon is K-9 Naturals freeze dried food. I started her on that at eight weeks and she is now 20 weeks old. I have been very impressed with her overall performance all the time. Her mood is great. And you're right about her not eating as much as she would from normal brand kibble. I do hope there's nothing that I have missed. But if there is anything negative that I need to pay attention to about this food I would love your input.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I hope it Inspires others! There’s never just one “best” way❤️
Thank you for being a trucker! You keep the world moving! 💗
Hopefully you'll see this. Im also a trucker and had my gsd on purina pro plan as a pup then we changed to orijen now its coming to light they changed their recipe and my boy is itchy as a mf and now has diarrhea.. how is you pup doing on that food and have you changed or stayed on it. Ty
Thank you for your channel and for helping convince me to feed raw and add toppers like goat's milk!
My true pleasure😍😍
Great video thanks for the information 🙌.
I’m glad u gave us your credentials. As soon as I seen you pop up looking cute n comfy my mind told me I was bout to waste my time.
We are using Orijen. Thank you for your review!
They’ll be one of the firsts I review!
Stella & Chewy's and Big Country Raw. Thanks!!
Primal Raw / Orijen kibble
I know these brands well, absolutely!
Orijen lists whole foods and not high heat extruded. I have been using their Orijen large puppy amazing grains (has quinoa like grains no corn/soy) along with their freeze-dried treats or toppers mixed in
Hi Rachel! Ur comparative series r insightful & provide honest reviews in easy to understand terms. Keep them coming!! Can u review Science Diet Chx & Brown Rice kibble and also Dr. Marty premium freeze-dried raw dog food? Love ur tip on making ur dog work for their food; my adolescent pup needs all the mental stimulation he can get!
Eek 🙈 I’m SO glad that you enjoyed it! It feels nice to share all this “stuff” in my 🧠 😜
Thank you for all the wonderful information you shared. Our breeder started our pup on Raw Paws raw food and we have loved how fresh the meats and bones seem to be. Our vet loves how healthy our pup is and told us to continue with Raw Paws. We would be curious to receive feedback from you.
When I adopted my pug puppy I was determined to give him the absolute best food available. I started feeding him fresh raw from a very reputable brand (Big Country Raw) as this is what his previous owner was already feeding him. However, he started having GI and reflux issues instantly. I kept feeding this to him, thinking it must be his breed, maybe I was feeding him too much at a time, maybe he needed to rest after feeding him, etc. Nothing I did made any difference, he continued to struggle. To make a very long story short, I ended up switching to three different brands Smack (air-dried raw), The Honest Kitchen, and First Mate canned. He also gets cooked eggs, canned sardines, and some fresh gently cooked meat as toppers. His GI issues and reflux are completely gone. He sleeps better because he is no longer uncomfortable. As much as I am an advocate for fresh raw, I do not think it's for every dog. I am not sure if it's the breed ( pugs are known for having very sensitive stomachs) but this is definitely working much better than the fresh raw.
Rachel. Hope all is well. By chance... Do you give your pets fish oil? What brand do you give if so? If not, what is your replacer? Your videos have helped me so much. even as far back to last year when I got my pup who turned 1 in march, he loves his crate because of your tips. So Thanks. A LOT! And thanks in advance. :)
I would love to see Orijen Amazing Grains rated. My doxie stopped eating her Answers Raw but will eat it if it’s mixed with kibble. The best I could find was the Orijin grain inclusive. Thank you!
Thank you! You're AwesOme!!
Hi Rachel, can you review some Canadian brands too? Here in QC popular raw food brands are Faim Museau and Karnivor. I’m curious about your thoughts.
Hi Rachel! Thanks for posting such informational videos! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the brands Solid Gold and Yumwoof’s Perfect Kibble. Looking forward to seeing your reviews. :)
Raw brands I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on are: Small Batch, OC Raw, Instinct & of course Bones & Co
You already know! 😍😍
AllProvide please!!
Ollie, Farmer’s Dog, Just Food for Pets, Nom Nom, Muenster, West Paw dog treats, K9 dog treats, Stella and Chewy, Orijen, InukShuk, First Mate, Open Farm, Primal, Fresh Pet, etc.
We are currently feeding our puppy Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach (salmon & rice flavor- no corn, wheat, or soy), but hope to transition to a higher quality food once he’s a year old or so. It was just a decision we made based on our budget.
it’s also a really good food!! ours have been on it for two years.
I’m glad you brought up budget, it’s a key factor! What’s a good budget that you’d expect for a medium sized dog monthly?
@@RachelFusaro Our high energy Boykin Spaniel pup at full grown is only going to be 35-40lbs. Personally, I don’t want to spend more than $75 monthly on food (we are at $55 right now on Purina). We buy so many toys and treats, I want to be sure to still have room for that! I’d love to keep it as affordable as possible - thanks
I would go with Bixbi kibble as I believe it is the best dry kibble on the market. Also should be within your budget. Add in some supplements from Native Pet (Omega Oil), treats from Dr. Becker (Beckers Bites), and all natural Bully Sticks from Safety Chew and you should have a happy and healthy pup. Good luck!
I tried several, but the one that my goldendoodle puppy (5 months) likes the best is from Costco- Kirkland Puppy Food. The large bag was 19.00 which can't be beat!
I forgot to mention that I also add a bit of warm water to the kibble. She loves it!
I tried expensive food but it only gave my dog diarrhea. Put him on cheap grocery store puppy food. He loves it.
Can you please do Instinct brand! I feed the patties. (Usually feed beef have a chicken option as well) So far my dog is doing great. You were the reason why I started feeding a raw diet since a puppy. Grateful I am able to gain valuable knowledge 😊
Instinct is an awesome brand. The only downside to instinct is they use some vitamin packs. As opposed to brands like primal, oc raw, answers ect. But by no means does that make instinct a bad brand. If I were you I would consider adding in more proteins. The more protein changes you do the less likely your dog will develop an intolerance for a specific protein.
I feed red barn ocean kibble, first mate wet food and primal frozen raw nuggets.
Orijen, Instincts & NW Naturals. 😁 Thank you, Blessings!
Yes yes def!!
Where is that pet food list? I follow the link and can’t find it.
Eres increíble ❤️ Gracias 😊
Hi Rachel! What are your thoughts about wellness core grain food and farmers dog. I feed my dog dry kibble in the morning and fresh farmers dog at night .
Thank you for these vids. Amazing! Ive been using Northwest Naturals. Ive been using for about 9 years or more. When my local feed store changed owership they lost there contract with NWN and i couldn't find NWN so i had to change to Stella frozen raw while the new owner worked to get a new contract with NWN and get set up. Unfortunately because of that change in food my pitty became very sick and had to be put down from some digestive problems. It was a horrible lose for me. My other 2 dogs made it threw it. We are now back on NWN and i have a new pitty pup i have him on NWN .
Orijen, Open Farm - kibble & gently cooked, Stella and Chewy - Frozen raw, kibble and freezed dried raw , Now Fresh and Ollie fresh dog food
If I had to feed my dog kibble, it would definitely be Bixbi. The best dry kibble you can buy due to their ingredients and cooking process.
Big fan of OPEN FARM kibble and Freeze dried , also their Joint Supplement
Up here in Alaska, mushers prefer a high fat kibble for working sled dogs. I hunt my labs every weekday from Sept thru January and feed the highest fat/highest protein kibble on the market. I like kibble where the first ingredient is Menhaden such as Red Paw Power Edge 32 k. (32%Protein, 25% Fat)
Orijen , Acana, Stella&Chewy’s , Big Country Raw, Bold Nature and K9 Natural. That’s all I could come up with for brands that I’ve either gave my dog in the past and brands I’m curious to know if they are better. Thank you!!
Pro Purina
I'm still successfully rocking Orijen with my girl. Great ingredients on the bag.
@@kevinjs26 That was my to go brand but they discontinued a flavour I was used to (at least that’s what the girl at the pet store told me… not sure if true because a few months after I saw it again at a different store…) and so made me look at different brands. But what made me change my dog’s diet is the book she recommends in one of her posts in instagram.
I give my two puppies Backcountry Raw and their coats look amazing. They are growing to be really stong and healthy pups.
I've beeen working at a pet food store for almost 6 years now and I sell all those brands excluding K9 naturals and they are indeed the best food brands I have in store.
open farm, farmina, orijen, acana, nature’s logic, go! solutions, zignature, and essence!
Acana is good in your opinion?
I love your videos
I love your comments 😍
Also, bloat is when the dog’s stomach basically gets flipped from being active after meal times. It’s best to wait 60-90 mins after a meal to have your dog be active.
Would love to hear you review Carna4. We receive a decent amount of praise for feeding it to our 9wk old doodle, but haven’t found any solid reviews. Thx in advance.
My puppy is just turning 1. The breeder suggested TLC which I believe is an okay dog food. However I have been researching dog foods and found that raw is the best but I am not ready to go that direction. I am considering Carna4 as it is synthetic free and is dehydrated , baked and air dried. I have also been suggested to check out Grand Cru. Any suggestions
Rachel! Please review Instinct Raw frozen food. And maybe Orijen Kibble/Orijen Brand
Can you make a video on how to diy a raw food diet?
thank you
Thank you Rachel for the video! Only one question how do you act on trips where you do not have a freezer to be able to give then raw food. I am concerned on if I have to give for those trips kibble but then how to make them used to them only for trips. Not sure which accesibility for freezer there is when you go to hotels for example. Thank you!
Thank you for the content! Any thoughts on Nature’s logic raw? Also my shih tzu only likes to eat the freeze dried food, dry. Is that ok? I always have a bowl of water for him for easy access. Thanks!
A good option for kibble is orijen. We only 1.1 carbs. First 10 ingredients are meat. No corn any of those fillers
I know this video is from awhile ago. I was making fresh cooked food for my 2 year American Eskimo. Then started adding bone meal and dried eggshells for calcium as instructed by recipe in book. My dog developed sores on muzzle and ears. The vet felt it was due to to much calcium due to her breed and I was told to go back to kibble for 80% and a couple tbls fresh cooked meat. After a round of antibiotics and steroids she recovered. I now give her Nulo brand kibble, how do you rate this kibble. Also she gained weight on the kibble even cutting her quantity in half. She always seems hungry, I add vegetables to try and fill her up.
Whole hearted
Thank you so much for your videos!! I’m trying to decide what food to get my 9yr morkie, Pixie. I feel like I learned a lot but still feel so lost. My pup only has a couple of teeth. Which food would you recommend?
Great video. Finally a nutritionalist speaking on what to feed your dog. I have friends who feed kibble because this vet who isn’t a nutritionist tell them what to feed. I feed fresh commercial Food Just for Dogs sweet potato and fish. Would you be able to review this brand.
I would love to hear your thoughts on purina pro plan and hills science both are what my vet recommended me to use
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Royal Canin.
Ofc, yes!
Hi, would love to hear your thoughts on Carna4, Honest Kitchen Clusters, Spot and Tango Unkibble, and other healthy dry dog foods options available, I haven’t found too many reviews on Carna4 but heard great things about it on online forums. Also, all the vets I’ve met have recommended sticking to a grain inclusive option so would be great if you would recommend accordingly.
Most days I feed my Goldendoodle, Maddux, Bones and Co, but I’m looking for a suggestion on what to do when my pup, son and I go backpacking. A raw diet on trail isn’t always possible. Would you recommend feeding him freeze dried food on trail? Do we need to transition from raw to freeze dried and thane back before and after our trips?
Can you go into detail on Honest kitchen dehydrated dog food?! I’ve always been curious if that is healthy for my pup! Thank you!
Hi Rachel! I feed my dog a food called the farmers dog. Sometimes I switch to the Ollie brand. Where would you categorize these foods? And what are your thoughts on them. P.S. I tried the freeze dried raw dog food for about 3 months and it did not work for my dog due to health reasons. After consulting with the vet I decided to try the farmers dog and it has been great in my opinion. Love your videos and your passion for dogs.
Hi. Can you help with some advices about what food is better for dogs with diabeties? Dry food or daily cooked? Now i’m using Royal Canin for diabetic dog but i don’t want to give processed food for long term ..
I would be very interested in your review of Pure Balance dog food. It appears to be a brand Wal-mart makes that is trying to be on the healthier side of kibble.
Love your videos. Thanks
Hi Rachel, thanks for sharing. I’ve always thought that raw is best for dogs but the up keep of frozen raw food and keeping it separate from my family food makes me nervous. Can you go into detail on how to store the food. Also can you review Canidae All Life Stages. Thanks so much.
Yes to this would love some tips! Also why do you wait to serve it until it’s room temp? I’ve been giving my dog the food straight from the freezer and she gnaws on it like a treat
PLEASE talk about OC Raw! i got the brand from one of your old videos when i got my puppy a year ago and have been feeding her the pattys ever since. it was already an old video then so i’d love an update on your opinion now & other raw brands you recommend!
I would like to see your ranking result!
Hi Rachel, thanks for doing these I know a lot of people have asked over and over. Bones and Co is hard to come by where we live and while he is a pup I would have to feed more of it and it’s a bit pricey. We feed the farmers dog diy plan right now. They give you puppy specific recipes but I’m kinda concerned about the amount of veggies in it. There is also only one recipe with organ meat but it has white rice in it so I avoid the rice recipes.
I will be reviewing Farmer’s Dog for sure, very excited to share my thoughts!
Small batch? Goats milk with blueberries? Ziwi peak. What you think of these brands
pls review on Nutri Source, Natures Protection and Royal Canin
Hills Science Diet!! I am feeding my puppy the large breed puppy formula for now as she is a puppy. Once she is older I will make her own food. Thank you!!
I have a 15 week Sheltie/Border Collie. The breeder gave me a bag of Puppy Eukanuba, I switched Stella on to Raw, Freeze Dried Chicken Puppy Kibble. Also, give her S&C Turkey or Chicken toppers on top of her kibble. She does not eat the Eukanuba food now.
That puppy lucked out with you 😍
Hi, I just wondered can I do a mix of kibble and raw? So kibble for breakfast and raw with veggies and fruits for dinner? I'm wanting to get a puppy so just researching everything. Also how would you recommend I go about transitioning a puppy onto the raw diet? Thank you
Hi Rachel. This has been a question of mine for a year now of owning our puppy! After studying Rodney's work, Dr. Becker's work and Norah Lenz's book, my head is spinning as to what to feed Cassie! Could you review Rawz - both canned and dried, Orijen, Vital Essentials, Stella and Chewy's, and Honest Kitchen compared to the RMF diet.
We both will thank you for it!!!
Hi Rachel, did I miss something or was the part about gently cooked cut out? That is what I’m feeding my dog (I think… what I feed her is called FreshPet and it comes like a giant sausage?) as she has a sensitive tummy and has struggled to remain on a raw diet for long periods of time (I occasionally will feed her raw). She loves both, but I was wondering if it is actually any good?
I feed my dog Smack freeze dried and Tollden Farms raw. Just wondering if you knew if these were good choices for my dogs. The freeze dried I leave out for them to graze on and 2 cups is usually gone by end of day and they each get raw in the morning.
Some brands I'm curious about: Earthborn, Nature's Logic, N&D, Stella and Chewy raw coated, and Zignature
