Lynda! Thank you so much! You are the reason I make these videos. Again, thank you for the encouragement. I’ll continue to do my best.

Darn, I’m busy that day! lol! I’m sure I can find a cult meeting of some kind closer to home.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy You could give them H-LL !

Ill add it to my list to do!

I just did canine and feline a week or two ago. you'll see it in my list of videos. Thanks for asking!

Hey Rip, are there any facts I stated you’d like to comment on? And who are you a shill for? I’m more than happy to answer and intelligent questions you might have, but if you’re just responding with emotion because you don’t like what you’re hearing, I can’t really help you. I choose to believe board certified nutritions who work for Hills, Purina and RC, and the many independent ones. You may believe anyone else.

thats just minimums and maximums. Some brands put dry matter on their websites but usually you have to call them.

@PetFoodPuzzleGuy Thank you. After my senior dog had a TIA in July last year , she will only eat kibble of the supposed horrible brands. Kibbles and bits and purina dog chow. She won't touch most canned except tiki dog, cesar and some weruva. She does get 1/2 pound raw . If at all possible can u do review on kibbles and bits and purina dog chow. I feel guilty feeding this but she won't eat a lot of stuff including home made. 😕 I saw the review u did on pedigree but she won't touch that either. Lol. So I thought maybe u can review 3 or 4 low cost kibbles and to include kibbles and bits and purina dog chow. I also supplement with omegas. So overall she seems well. Coat stil glossy and stools actually small.

Very impressive. One of the good brands.

Ed, you need to read that whole book! I have an older edition signed by the three main contributors, including Dr Mark Morris Jr! That’s how nerdy I am! But in 2013 Michigan State and MN Utility Center did a one year study on FIC with client owned cats. The owners could pick dry or canned. They measured each clinical sign and how long each episode lasted. Amazingly, there was an 89% reduction in clinical signs. And that diet was Feline CD. What’s amazing is Hills then added L Tryptophan and Casein to reduce stress, which most vets feel is responsible for Idiopathic Cystitis. Canned CD Stress is perhaps the very best overall cat food a person could feed. I’m all ready to drop dry fir cats and go with canned, but not homemade raw! So no T shirt for you?

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy That you have Dr. Morris' autograph is great. He did a lot for pet health. I only need to read the chapters on feeding cats, 19-24 and Chapter 46, Feline Lower Urinary Tract Diseases. The main point of all your videos is that the levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and urine pH are all that matter regarding protecting the kidneys of dogs and cats. Dogs will drink enough water to be healthy. A cat won't. If all a cat gets is dry food, where does it get the water it needs? That cats hold concentrated urine doesn't help the kidneys. The paragraph after my original quote states that increasing a cat's moisture intake will cause it to urinate more. I have told you that I feed my cats some canned cat food. Mostly they get boiled chicken thighs and raw ground beef. Bone broth with all of it. I figure I am covering all the bases, in case one of them turns out to be wrong.

@@edschulhof6303 as I’ve said before, I can’t argue with you. Makes total sense. If I had a cat I’d feed canned CD Stress and feel confident I am covering the bases. But for those too cheap or lazy to feed canned, let’s make sure their cats get the best they can. It’s been years now but I remember hills stating that even our urinary dry diets outsold the canned by quite a bit. I’m sure even then the nutritionist was saying canned was better. The shift ti cabs and the invention of Stews has changed that. You and I just disagree on certain ingredients you feel are inappropriate, that’s all. What size shirt do you want? Lol!

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy CD Stress is prescription diet which means overpriced. And only in 2.9 oz. cans. About $13.44 a pound. I can get ribeye steak for less. The SD urinary hairball control in 5.5 oz. cans is much more reasonable. Even with the corn starch, rice and soybean meal that you love, I would consider it. If the shirt says, "Go Navy, Beat Army" I want XL so people can see it! LOL

@@edschulhof6303 good point about the SD Hairball Urinary! I may have to watch that game!

Yes, 6 weeks is usually long enough. Let’s cross fingers.

ENVIRONMENT ALLERGIES - are you bathing dog? washing off allergens on the dog twice a week, then weekly baths as dog is getting better in a medicated anti-fungal, anti-bacterial shampoo? Give baths a go, it helps relieve itchy hot red skin. The days dog has no baths I use baby wipes & wipe my girl down after she been outside & has rolled on grass, grass is one of her allergens the nut, she is allergic too grass, also at night bed time, get a few baby wipes wipe dog down. People always blame the food making the dog itch & scratch & alot of times itchy skin, paws is environment allergies, also vet has your vet done a skin scrap?? for Skin Infections?? If dog still very itchy get vet to do a skin scrap they look under microscope.. Good-Luck

Was Fresh Pet the issue?

I really appreciate your comments. If you’ve watched my videos you already know the answer to the question Dies the company have integrity. It’s as simple as look at the minerals. It’s too easy for companies to use low quality meat sources while looking good. The excessive minerals don’t lie. You can look at fresh j gradients and feel confident but you have to feed all those ingredients without any idea if the nutrients provided are optimal. I’ve been surprised making these videos, discovering Ian’s dog food and their cat food was much healthier than I thought. Purina makes some pretty low quality food and then I discover a really good one. It’s just the nutrients that matter. It’s hard these days to trust any company’s integrity anymore. I don’t trust much if anything anymore. Just relax and ask any questions and I’ll do my best!

I’ll have to look! Thanks!

Sarah, that’s very nice of you to consider that, but I don’t think so. I do believe Cam is sincere. My response is only for the benefit of the animals and the people that love them. Feeding fresh home made diets to healthy pets is one thing. Demonizing veterinary diets that can save their lives is another. Thank you for your input though.

I just know it tastes great!

That is not true. They are saying Purina but include many brands. I did a video on why it doesn't make sense, at least so far.

i wouldn't add anything. I don't except egg every other day or so. the rule is you can add 10% other things without disrupting the balance of the diet. but watch extra calories too!

Lol!

LOL! Not yet but I'm sure one is coming. I appreciate her passion but she basically throws the baby out with the bath water. she can't be that ignorant, can she? Is it all an act to sell product? I really don't know!

Yes! I noticed that too that the term filler is anything they want it to be! And so true that most research done or funded was by the big three. This Part 2 will address that!

everyone who watches Pet Fooled should watch this.

User-rm7, you are absolutely right. I was pretty rough on Cam. That was my first Response Video. I have since responded to others and trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are sincere, my approach now is very different. But you need to understand this is not just debating different perspectives! The misinformation he and others share horribly affects the health of dogs and cats. I have seen the results for 34 years!!! Every day!!! In literally a few hundred clinics and hospitals. If you knew what I know you would be just as upset! But live and learn. I’m trying to reach people like yourself so my behavior matters. I hope if you give me a second chance and watch the Response videos to Rachel and Dana you will see a very different approach. Again, if we were talking healthy animals it’s a worthy debate, but with sick animals to promote a plan of management by misinforming people, whether intentionally or not, is very upsetting to me, so again, my apologies.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy You do feel that your perspective is the gospel truth, which is where your arrogant rudeness is stemming from. It's people like you who perpetuate such division. You don't see the whole picture, just your perspective, and you think your disrespect will convince others of your point of view. I can't respect that approach.

@@user-rm7zf4bw2b well, the whole picture? Imagine you are trained by some of the best board certified nutritionists and you spend 34 years in vet clinics every day seeing what nutrition can do, good and bad. And someone comes along encouraging people to do something harmful for their pet, based on the most ridiculous claims….yes, I am more than confident I am right. Rudeness or arrogance has nothing to do with it. When a a mentioned powered cellulose was for horses, I realized the guy knows nothing. I am sorry but if you are going to get on KZfaq you have a responsibility to know what you’re talking about. I take that as a very important responsibility. Just like the actual Gospel, there is truth and there is error. I truly am not interested in getting along and being polite with error but as I said, my more recent videos are much more polite though point out truth. But you seem to be more interested in feelings so I suppose you’d rather be lied to politely than be told the truth. American politicians live that! And since we’re on feelings rather than facts, I feel you need some improvement in accepting apologies. But try and continue to get different perspectives if you can handle it.

@@user-rm7zf4bw2b you actually should check out AnimalDocRea on KZfaq. She’s I credibility sweet and incredibly smart and the perspective you can trust.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy I am sure that the actual best board certified nutritionists would not be caught dead working for Hills and their ilk. Dr. Laura Gaylord and Dr. Donna Raditic know that ingredients are just as important as important and nutrition. By the way, what do you think you are accomplishing by being so arrogant? It doesn't make you look respectable, accomplished, or knowledgeable.

Trust me, I was thinking something along those lines.

I thought the Scots disliked the British on general principle. 45% voted for independence in 2014. (I'm being facetious) LOL

That’s awesome! Your pup is blessed! Just make sure your recipe is a balanced diet from a board certified vet nutritionist. That is the only concern with home cooking or raw. Almost half of the folks doing it are providing terrible excesses or deficiencies in the diet. Btw, I’ve eaten a few dog and cat foods. Not my taste either! I’m coming over for dinner!

Jennifer, thanks for your response. I understand your perspective and appreciate you sharing it, adding to the conversation. Pretty sure I never said they’re only dogs so feed them crap. Maybe you should watch a few more videos for clarity. But to be sure, I know my. Dogs get a much healthier balanced diet than I do.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy I never said you that said that, and I have watched more videos and I just got more annoyed. You ( as you say ) are not a nutritionist so how can you possibly try to bring down someone that actually knows what they’re talking about ? I’ve had to go to a dog nutritionist ( Dr Conor Brady ) and he literally saved my dogs life. I now make all of my dogs food using his advice along with Cam’s recipes ( which you don’t show or mention, just one of his old kibble reviews) and it’s not as complicated as it’s made out to be ! She is now the healthiest she’s ever been. She gets a fresh, balanced diet: a variety of different proteins - minced or chunks of muscle meat, organ meat, offal, some veg, berries, herbs ,eggs , raw meaty bones etc. Not every single possible nutrient she needs all at once, every single time, every day, at precise percentages but what she needs spread over a week. Much better, healthier, and more appealing ( in my humble opinion) than a bowl of dried brown biscuits

@@jennifersimpson7200 dried brown biscuits would be something Cam would say. A board certified nutritionist could analyze that brown biscuit and discover all the essential amino acids the dog needs are there, all the calories from fat and carbs are there, the minerals and vitamins are all there in precise order since many of them act on each other, the fatty acids are there for skin and coat, perhaps proven levels if antioxidants are there to reduce free radical damage, etc etc etc…. All that can be found in that brown biscuit. And I’ve seen various brown biscuits save lives from various diseases every day for 34 years! That’s why I make videos now and don’t get paid by anyone. It’s been my mission for too long to stop!

Thank you Jennifer for actually talking sense! This guy is ridiculous, he’s so far up Hills arse it’s disgusting
