My favorite dog food brands: bit.ly/DogFoodsList
Do you cook for your dog?
I have been coming for my dogs for 20+ years. 2 years ago I started to be more stringent with how balanced the formula is.
Can you help me please I downloaded your dog food list. I see you recommended natures logic I’m concerned if the protien is to high and also trying to find out about omegas I don’t see anything listed can you help me please I’m trying to get her a decent bag for under $100 thank you

This is helpful but the subscription cost is too much!
It's always a video and then the just sign up here for this much.
I was excited about this until I saw the monthly cost AND, but especially, the one year commitment.
it's a bit difficult... and agree that it is very expensive , especially if you have more than one dog!
I have 7 dog's and it should NEVER COST SO MUCH $$$$ You claim you want to help and then charge an overly inflated price to do so. It's not that expensive to make up a recipe formulation. I'll just educate myself and my crew will be fine.
Thanks! I was excited too when the video started. Glad I read your comment before watching yet another infomercial! Dislike
I have made so many mistakes over the years trying to feed homemade food to my dogs. But I've had a terrible time finding recipes that I can actually make with locally available ingredients. I really had to consider whether The Animal Diet Formulator was going to be cost-effective for me or not, but I decided to go ahead and try it out, and I'm really glad I did. It's taken so much stress off me to know that what I'm making for my dogs isn't a hit-or-miss for the nutrients that they need. But as it turns out, It has saved me more than it cost for my three small dogs. I can keep an eye out for things on sale to use for recipes, and alter the recipes to use what I'm able to get on sale, and still have a balanced recipe.
My three small dogs don't eat a lot, so I would imagine that someone with a big dog would probably be able to save even more than I do. Plus, I'm able to adjust the recipes to meet what I'm learning as time goes by. I've learned to avoid foods high in oxalates, but I can switch out the high oxalate foods for foods lower in oxalates and rebalance the recipes. I learned that supplements that include fillers or ingredients to facilitate manufacturing often block absorption, so I can choose brands that don't include any other ingredients except for the actual nutrients, or find whole food ingredients for most of the things. And instead of just getting one recipe from a veterinary nutritionist, I have the ability to adapt my recipes and have multiple recipes, for way less than that one recipe from the veterinary nutritionist cost.
The concept is amazing, the app cost is prohibiting 😢
Thank you for this! Not sure I can do this full time with 16 dogs (rescues) but a 22lb bag of Stella & Chewy only lasts for 2.5 days 🤦🏼♀️. I really appreciate this, even if its just adding in until I figure out how to prepare for so many dogs!❤
Bless your heart.❤
First of all you are so awesome for saving those dogs lives!! Another way to make the bowl healthier is to add some healthy toppers to the bowl! She recently made a video on that that I recommend you watch! Best of luck!
After Purina stop making Bella my Yorkie poo wouldn't eat any kind of kibbles so I myself went online for fur babies recipes now I'm glad I wasn't like many adding toppers to get them to eat it ❤
When I ran a rescue for exotics (lions tigers monkeys etc) my local butcher and grocery store donated all their meat and veg scraps to me daily. The quality of food thrown out every day is astounding. Fed all my animals (100+) that way for over 20yrs.
Make friends with butchers 😉
Hope that works out for you.
@@SouldArtI haven't been able to find a true butcher anymore.
Very helpful, I will say I’m still very confused, I can re watch this again to try understand it I guess. BUT for a single dog & cat mom working part time with a disability there is NO way I could afford that yearly fee! It’s just too expensive at the moment in this economy with all food and meats being SO expensive.
Absolutely love this. I have been cooking for my dog for over a year now due to sensitive stomach and low fat requirement, but I'm always worried that it is not balanced enough. He's been thriving ever since though.
The ADF is such a awesome program, thank you! I can use it on my laptop, tablet and mobile. It so much making complete and balanced recipes for my dogs.
One question I have regarding the non animal ingredients. Many of these foods contain anti nutrients that prevent nutrient absorption. For example, spinach has lots of calcium. However, it also contains a large amount of oxalates that prevent absorption of calcium. Cruciferous vegetables can interfere with iodine absorption. Does the animal diet formulator take this into account? I believe cooking helps, however the anti nutrients are still there.
Usually spinach isnt added to the diet for its calcium it is added for other vitamins it would take large amounts of these “anti nutrients” to unbalance such large quantities of the ingredients think of it as a cup of water wont fully dissolve 5 lbs of salt
Just research and don’t feed those ingredients. Spinach is always a no no
@btpuppy2 I don't feed mine any vegetables period which seems to be okay because I have been feeding them this way for 14 years and they are now 15 and 16 in great health.
… Thank you so much for your video as I am slowly doing research in the subject …
Looks like a great app, but being retired spending 25 dollars a month and being obligated for a year is not something I can do. If you had some other alternatives that would be great.
I hope I'm not the only one who is more confused than ever.Dr Jones has a sensitive stomach recipe that's basically ground turkey,rice,carrots and oil. I thought that was enough with his supplement.I don't think I can do this,but my boy's tummy issues are getting so much worse.
@@GillRigged
Dr Jones at a simple recipe for sensitive tummies. Ground turkey rice carrots oil. I thought adding his supplement would make it completely balanced or would it not?
Perhaps look into gut support/repair from the Adored Beast Apothecary, the website has many options that can be of assist. Greatly helped our pup out
I’m very confused to how a vet like Dr Jones would recommend rice for a sensitive tummy? Firstly white rice in particular has zero nutritional value and is very high in starch? I would look into an alternative for that, maybe even pumpkin would be better and would provide more nutrients like fibre. Just an idea, but I definitely would not feed rice to my dog. Brown rice might be a better alternative but still I have never considered it to be that useful.
Some people are perfectionists and will not attempt to make dog food without knowing the reason for every ingredient. Others say, if you feed a variety of animal parts and a little vegetables, like an actual farmer’s dog would get, that is adequate because dogs can get the nutrients over time. I’m somewhere in between
Didn’t use this app just started feeding raw or lightly cooked added to high quality (open farm) kibble. I’m seeing great results in my 3 doxies allergy symptoms!
Does this app have recipes for 4-12 week old puppies?
I feel like this is all being over thought! Anyway people can make money, they will.
Do you have a video on kitchen safety when switching to a raw/gently cooked diet? Other than your basic meat safety? I saw some resources recommend storing dog food completely separate. Is this a contamination issue? Also, can you use the same utensils/pans you would normally use to cook with? Same sponge? Assuming everything is being washed thoroughly.
Thank you for this! 🙏
Should Sea Kelp and wheat germ oil be added to a raw food diet.
Hi, do u think you can review the nature's Logic i hear good things about this food but I'm not sure 😢
How does that work if my dog is injured and on “crate rest”? My dog used to be very active but now although he wants to be active, we are having to force him to be less active while we wait for an orthopedic surgeon to correct his CCL.
You mentioned but didn’t show how to input your own ingredients and nutrients. And you also said you could input your dry dog food if the company will give you numbers. I have found they don’t even themselves have a full breakdown, and if they do, it’s given in percent, not mg. The best I have gotten from them is ca/P ratio and amounts, zinc and copper and omega 3 and 6 fats. Also, I have always used NRC numbers, based on the weight of my dogs. I use a spreadsheet designed to do this. But it’s all very tricky!!
Wow i was so excited about this and switching my dogs to DIY meals but $300 is outrageous? Why so expensive!! 😬
Code: FUSARO saves you 20%! Limited time code, and no, not sponsored. I make nothing on that code but saves you a bunch.
Doing DIY food can save a TON of money compared to store bought foods. So I look at this as a way to make a bunch of recipes (that you know are complete and balanced) that are ready to go!
@@RachelFusaro That code does not work ;(
I can only say the price is exorbitant and there are free things from trusted online sources. Do people realize how difficult things are now in the economy?
What are your thoughts on Artie brand dog food
Thanks for the video, unfortunately the discount code doesn't work at this time
I seen in google that you recommended abetterdogfood raw you can see kibble w raw salmon bits, sold at Ralph’s, is this true ?
I started raw feeding abruptly from kibble with toppers. I'm feeding raw whole chicken. With giblets and bones and other toppers, eggs, pumpkin, beef liver, sardines and such. This is day 10. Poop is super hard and dry and small. What can I add to make more soft poop?
Not an expert here but maybe pull back a little on the pumpkin ? I noticed feeding my pup pumpkin regularly made her poop super hard and once I took it away her poops went back to normal
Looking into this and came across ChefPaw that has something similar but you must own the cooker appliance . Has anyone used this? Not enough reviews on TH-cam for me to decide
So these recipes aren't balance unless you buy the supplement?
Did you work for a dog food company before? Do you have a people food calculator? I'd suggest buying Dr. Brady's book.
Great information but unfortunately the subscription price is expensive. Would cost me more with the exchange rate!!! I will pass.
This is hard to understand, the grams and micrograms. How do we measure that out
Invalid discount code....
$300 a year for this app 😳🥴
That is crazy. It seemed awesome, but that is absolutely outrageous.
Yeah I don't think that's a deal at all
This couldn’t be more confusing can’t anyone provide a couple recipes with all needed vitamins and well balanced for new people to start with OMS
I totally agree!! Why do they make it so difficult if they are claiming to want to help us feed our pets better!!!
Here. I’ll help. 2-3% of your dogs ideal body weight. What they should weight. Unfortunately many dogs are fat and people think it’s cute. Sad. So 2-3% of there ideal body weight = food per day. For example my pit is 60 pounds as he should be. Give or take a few just like we fluctuate some. So he eats 2.5-3% because he’s an active working dog so he need the upper end. A house dog more like 2-2.5. But 2-3%. So he eats 1.5-1.8 pounds per day. Split into 2 meals. 50% muscle meat (turkey in the morning. Beef at night) 25% muscular organ (beef heart in the morning. Gizzards at night) 10% raw meaty bone. (A chicken foot in each meal is usually perfect for him. Not all dogs though. They just happen to weight about the right amount for him so I use chicken feet. And they’re easy for a dog like him to eat) 5% chicken liver (pm) 5% beef kidney (am). He also gets 2 quail eggs or 1 chicken egg. With shell (am) (yes dogs can eat eggs and egg shells. It will not cut them or hurt them. Crush them up. No problem) and 2 sardines (pm) (lower on the fish food chain so heavy metals aren’t an issue like it is with fish like tuna that are higher up the fish food chain. Add a little fruit or veggies and it’s a damn good start. I hope that helps. And it’s free. No app necessary.
If premaid food contains salmon oil should I still give a fish oil capsule every day?
This is overkill or for tweakers. We do not use a calculator for human diets. We do need a good understanding of good nutrition and then get a balance of nutrients over time.
Wow fantastic software would love to utilize it. Unfortunately it's way outta my budget. Sorry my two, four legged buddies. Bummer
Purchased the app this am. I am trying to cancel my subscription now. Its incredibly difficult to use. No recommendations on what nutrients or vitamins too add when you're recipes are not balanced. Going with pre-made recipes would be easier for me at this point in my feeding journey. The app would be great for someone who already has recipes ready and would like to double check them but for a beginner its a LOT to figure out.
The app has one review …. 1.0.
Yikes! $300 for a dog food info app. True, there’s a lot of info provided so Dr. Recker is rightfully asking for compensation, but for most watching this video, their dogs are their kids. My dogs are my kids, I.e., most of my income goes to them. $300 app knocks us out of the ballpark.
Ask your vet for vitamins and you can get a balanced gently cooked easy to do also on line thay have several brands that have everything, and you just add your own meat
And if dogs must get certain nutrients you know they are not getting it in a kibble going homemade after listening to this
Way too expensive.
My foster dog will not eat kibble.
Raw food gave my last dog bloody loose stool.
Ugh, i’m sorry to hear this. Have you been to the vet? May be medical related, or stress 🙏
Could try gently cooked! Good luck and hope the best for you and your furry friends!
All raw diets are not created equal.
My dog has protein allergies with all this hype going on about feeding them kibble what would you suggest as a homemade food for a dog who cannot eat meat and she’s a very sensitive dog very sensitive stomach gets diarrhea, so yeah, these people that keep talking about Purina and Dog dying which I have not heard of anybody that I know of this is happening to People that is happening to. I feel terrible for but my God you’re terrifying everybody who has a dog, so if this is the case, could you please recommend something for a dog who has these kind of allergies? this group says research research well what do you feed a dog with a protein allergy so they get all the nutrients that they need I’m so frustrated with all of this
If I were you and you trust your Vet, you should talk to them about this first and foremost. Best of luck. I had a dog on Purina for years, he passed at 15.4 years old and it was not the food. So, like you I also question the hype about kibble. There are soooo many freeze dried foods,new foods, this n that,and yes it is confusing to me as well. I'm a skeptical person and don't believe everything out there. Speak to your Vet as I will once I have another dog. I would start there.
This is a silly app i should just be able to enter the whole foods using and at the click of a button should auto balance for me but instead gives me a bunch of wacko ingredients..upping the amount of one thing contradicts the other its insane there is no ease using this app especially for the cost
Deleted due to my mistake.
It’s free
@@rebeccacolvin9254 My bad. I apologize. I've just been frustrated trying to find a safe food with all these reports of dogs dying from Purina Pro Plan and other kibble. I assumed you were looking for money. I'll sign up and check out the list.
Wow, 3 weeks in using videos, books, and other research. This app is mind boggling hard, confusing, makes me want to quit!
Your videos are great but did somebody tell you that u should stop overselling and make smaller videos
I am so over this !!! I know a vet who will give me supplements and recipes all of you are way to greedy my mortgage went up because of our inflation anything I give him would be better than Kibble for 200.00$ a month
Right I can’t find a recipe to save my life besides one Dr Judy Morgan puploaf but my dogs are board of it
