Good luck with that .

Wtf idk what your smoking buddy but your dog should eat what you eat not the other way love your dog and love your self I hate to know what you think of ppl I love dog and the one I just got cost me over 2k in medical bills but it’s simple to feed your dog I did it when I was young but dog food cost to much we mad him food like a normal human would we never bought junk food that’s what you buy when you go to a fast food it’s fast and easy food for lazy humans that don’t want to think they just want to make it fast and easy again like fast food

Yup

If you really want your dog to have the best food then go with a non red meat sense that's something they would eat in the wild and not any of that crap there shoving into "dog food"

Your stupid

Barb Cole I’ve used Dr. Harvey’s and love it! It’s a dehydrated base mix and all you have to add is your own fresh meat and fish oil. It’s close to feeding raw without worrying about making your own raw balanced diet.

I use Blue a ridge beef and mix a variety of supplements like yogurt, pumpkin chicken hearts,,chicken liver etc. I’m feeding cats.

Karen Silva i do make my own wet food but I’d like to leave out some dry for them to nibble on during the time I’m not feeding them

DIY. Research a ton, and give a balanced biologically appropriate food.

Barb Cole I agree

Because pet products have zero regulation

It's a low sue waiting to happen

@@Shadowtiger2564 I don't know which country you live in or what facts you base this on.

@@Sadboy80629 you do know that HILL'S is expensive right??

@@cicimora1402 You’re kid is named Low Sue as well? 😱

yeah and some just don't care and feed their dog cheap stuff because they don't want to spend the money on them

And the thing is, most people have these brands…

CARNA4 Synthetic-free hand-crafted dog food, Quick baked-air dried whole food nuggets. First Ingredients: Fresh Chicken, Chicken Liver, Eggs, Sprouted seeds . Made in Canada.🍁 This brand makes other types , check them out. I am very pleased and my shih tzu , too. I order on line Amazon.

A raw diet is the best for any dog

@@earstoyou2916 thank you I appreciate the information

@@therealbigfoot3076 man I've been looking for you :-) Thanks for your input

Blue Buffalo is always a good choice.

Vets are animal doctors - their curriculum doesn't pay enough attention to nutrition.

@@lucilledunford3607 not true. Veterinarians can specialize in nutrition which is why Hills is recommended. Bc the company tests their product

They tell u to feed it your pets because then there will be problems that will lead you going back to the vet offen thus bring more money to them

@@HannahSmith-ud1ne There is an entire field dedicated to animal nutrition, and yes Hills has generally been recommended because they are a brand that has animal testing, unlike many common brands you will see on shelves. Veterinarians recommend brands with this seal of animal testing because it means the brand has put in time, resources, and energy into that testing amidst a market that has close to free reign on who can make pet food, slap a label on, and sell it (as long as they meet crude requirements which isn't much). I've personally met with representatives of both Hills and Royal Canin when I was in school and working as a veterinary technician. The representative from Hills was a guest speaker to teach our class on nutrition and the basic fundamentals and it was widely helpful. In no way am I excusing the recall claims against Hills, but I do want to get the point across that there needs to be more strict regulations in the pet food industry. I would at least like if the FDA would step foot in this process at all, because it's mind-boggling how much companies can earn easy money with close to no scientific or nutritional background.

Furthermore, while it isn't as "in-depth" as an entire course on pet nutrition, this is an easy-to-understand and remember bit of information I did learn that says a lot about a pet food brand just by the label alone. If a dog/cat food label says "[Beef] formula" it is roughly 25% of [beef]. If it states "Food WITH [beef]" the percentage of [beef] decreases to 3%. And lastly, if a label reads "[Beef] flavored food" you can assume that there is no [beef] at all, and it is all artificial. On the flip-side, there's many labels that have stated "[Beef] dog/cat food" which have generally turned out to be somewhere around 70% [beef] actually included in said food. Take everything with a grain of salt and pay attention.

Is he ok now your dog?

@@purplemonkey6775 We never bought the food, and he's better now. We took him to another facility and they did surgery on him, so he's feeling much better :)

This is why a Raw Diet is best for our dogs! So much crap in commercial dog food, and its not natural! All dog owners get yuiur dog on Raw.

also quinoa and sweet potatoes

My cat doesn’t like to eat anything, he puts up some type of front in front of us

@@foreveryourslovehate1803 😆

Okay, so for the most part, you've got the right idea about what to feed your cats. However, since cats are "obligate carnivores" you dont need to give them rice OR potatoes. In fact, you dont need to feed them anything except meat since they're incapable of getting nutrients from anything but.

@@FuzzyLittleKiwi but for poor people like me ghat helps sometimes

Thank you the list 😁

Royal canin*

@@nightfall6817 just filxed it! Typo 😅

They should add Blue Buffalo to the list as well

All kibble and canned food is nothing but garbage. That's why 1 in 2 dogs are dying of cancer.

I do the same for my Whippet. He's very fit.

Why not eliminate the middleman and give the Bitch and/or Son of a Bitch a Pregnant Hen, Turkey?

This is common sense stuff, your dogs going to live forever! A lot of people just don't get it....

I do this too . . . but, I'm told there are specific nutrients that dogs need that are not in people grade foods . . . and some nitrates . . . etc in people grade food that dogs shouldn't have.

I was doing that my dog had diarrhea

👍👍

YES 🐈❤️🐱

WHISKAS IS THE BEST CAT FOOD

Is instinct a good food for cats?

@@alyssab8551 no

Jeep Dude ruffly 😆

Orijen is a great food my dog ate it for a while until she went on a kibble streak

Orijen is a good brand. My dog has no problems eating it, and it is nice and organic.

Where do u get Orijen?

@@joanneholcombe735 Amazon or Hollywood Feed. I use the six fishes blend, and she is healthy, her coat is shiny, and she’s not constantly scratching from food allergies. It’s a high protein diet made for active dogs. Start with a small bag and transition over gradually. As someone who treats their dog as their child.. once you look into the ingredient list, you won’t go back.

It Is :-(

They get kick backs promotional's and of course commissions Even a Holistic Vet I go to recommended Royal Canin - a Veterinary formula Am Sure they are no better and They do not do any Nutrition for Health and so do not have a say in my view/book I have done hundreds of hours reading research (on multiple topics) and Dogs Like Humans are Compositionally Unique !!!!!!!!!!! I tweaked own words here I reckon...

Listen to VETS not stupid marketing

I can guarantee Rodney has had more nutritional training than most vets. Vets don't get much nutritional training, and what they do get, it's done by Science Diet. It's still marketing.

Oh man the shit I had to go through with my initial vet because I feed a homemade raw diet. My little yorkie would go a couple of days without eating every now and then and I was really worried. Vet refused to run tests because they were SURE the problem was the bacteria in the meat I was feeding (meat that is contaminated with bacteria gets RECALLED BTW). Wound up in an emergency vet on the weekend ($$$$) and turned out she actually had pancreatitis. Which they could have found out for me IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING about dog nutrition.. Be smarter than me and start with a younger vet who has actually learned about raw diets...

Lol

Yes go go go faster

Unfortunately, vets in the US get paid to push these brands

Instinct raw is pretty bad tho But better than most 😊

@Jane D I don't have a dog. Three picky cats.

Nature's Logic is a good pet food brand

@@atmospheriicx Thanks. I'll check it out.

Jane D don’t let your dogs eat any kind of poop. Raw feeding is great but letting them eat poop is just disease waiting to happen

My crazy life Maybe feeding foods with out the benefit of cooking.leads them find those nutrients from other places including digested “cooked” sources (poop).

Your dog can live a long life off of way worst.

I know I wanna swich my baby dog off of it but mother won't let me 😭

@@autumnsewill5899 it's hard switching food sometimes

Lol

Purina has killed dogs for years and people say its still good dog food, if you look at Purina, Iams, and the other store dog foods lawsuits dated back before I was born was against them.

That's all my bulldogs get is raw feedings because of their allergies..the only treats they get is a piece of apple or a piece of carrot. They have never tasted a store bought treat.Their both 11 yrs.old and the vet said they look better than young bullies who come in that are so over weight.

Omg 🤣 So I assume nope ropes are snakes, but what is an angry skirt? A type of lizard maybe?

Coraluna Soleil My word for a betta fish 😂

Actually cooked bones could shatter and hurt your dog, you should be giving your dog the chicken raw its easier for their stomach to digest it raw and its healthier for them

Cooked chicken (or any cooked meat) is actually really bad for your dog

But please make sure you don't feed only chicken ok? They need wayy more

*Please DON'T* feed your dogs raw chicken 😣🤦‍♀️. The same reason it's dangerous for humans is the same reason for dogs. If you've spoken to a veterinarian, and under *their* guidance decide to give raw meat, stick to things like beef. Is it really worth the risk to your dog? They can't choose what to eat each day, they rely completely on us to safely feed them. So don't be an asshole and play Russian roulette with their food. Gamble with your own diets, not theirs.

How is cooked meat bad for dogs? That's what's in dog food. Raw isn't necessarily easier to digest than cooked either. It depends on the dog. Definitely never feed cooked bones, but cooked meat is good

I had the same problem but I believe for us the problem was kibble in general, it was just that we started with more expensive kibble. I think he just struggles to digest Kibble. He did really well on the gastrointestinal Royal Canin canned wet and he is now on 50% gastrointestinal and 50% Canagan (grain-free) wet food and doing well. We should be going to 100% Canagan soon. We just use kibble as training treats.

If they have good gut health you don’t need to change foods slowly. Humans don’t eat the same thing every day. It’s suggested to switch up pet foods every few months. I randomly feed different foods on a daily basis. No problems.

Can u reccomend how to prepare dog food for them do you cook it with water or what help .

She needs bones and organs too, not just muscle meat. Brains, hearts, eyes, livers, etc.

If you're not calculating all the different levels of vitamins, minerals, calcium, phosphorus, etc, you could be doing more harm in the long run. Raw diets are great, but you really have to know what you're doing. I've seen too many people over the years do the same thing, only to cause serious irreversible damage to their pet. Plus, eating the same thing day in and day out actually leads to the animal building up an intolerance to those ingredients. You need to switch up the protein source, veggies, carbs, etc.

Raw diet is a good alternative to both cats and dogs

Agreed on the Raw Diet.

Except not all of us have the money to buy enough ingredients for a weeks worth of raw food for a dog. Hell, I can barely afford to feed myself. Also, a dog can be on a kibble diet and still be healthy.

@strawberry_shortcake4life Yup

@strawberry_shortcake4life no, unless you don't know how to handle raw meat and bones and kiss you dog after meal time. Dog's immunity is way stronger than some wimpy salmonella :)))

Most of these brands make dog and cat good, I think it concerns both of them

Cats just eat WHISKAS™

no one cares about cats

@@hiyou969 That's cold.

@@hiyou969 so you don't care about other pet either? I mean this people is not only talking about cat.

Do you blend it in the blender then mix with the meat?

Melinda Mercier That’s horrendous! Poor baby. I’ve had both my dogs on Beneful for the past 7 or 8 year and have never had any sort of reaction. Thank God.

Kibble and canned food is garbage no matter how you look at it. Every other person I know has had a pet die from cancer or organ failure. It's better to get some recipes and prepare the food yourself with human grade ingredients. It ends up being cheaper and you won't have to shell out thousands of dollars for vet visits every time they get sick.

I was about to start our puppy off on that too!

Omg I have that in my fridge :(

Did you use it within the short amount of time required because it is fresh food? It’s like 5-7 days

And for you to say a food is bad because YOUR particular dog is ridiculous. Thousands of dogs eat it with out throwing up.

@@Killerspider762 i used it the same day i bought it and i tried giving it to her multiple times and she would always throw it up

its price is decent too! For a raw brand anyway. JUST MAKE SURE you have their supplements to go along with it. Their food is not balanced without them

I've seen one vet be the biggest damn sellout I've ever seen. Royal Canin and Hills Science propaganda everywhere. Their posters literally make zero logical sense like saying that dogs actually NEED corn and grains. Like, what?

Costco's brand is made by Diamond

I’m sorry to hear this 😢 💔

Scoobs_Motovlogs it’s time consuming but well worth it at least you know what’s in the food your pet is eating. Rice gave my dog seizures

My father used to feed his dog cooked ground beef along with his kibble food. That dog stank all the time. Baths would not wash the smell away. I started feeding him Blue Buffalo when I took the dog and the smell went away in less than a month!

That’s great! Even though more expensive up front, think of the saving of money and less pet chronic disease and vet bills.

It’s an eye opener for sure 😢

What do you use

Cheyenne's Random authority dog food

Honestly me, and I was glad to see that it wasn’t there. I use Nutro Wholesome Essentials

I use Blue and Canidae.

@@sunshinechild1757 id watch out for nutro. quality went down after purina bought them out!

I'm picky about dog foods and my food sensitive/ skin allergy dog does great on Pure Vita. 😊

Dr Marty's is the best. Brands that are freeze-dried are typically better. Amazon sells and equivalent called '360 Pet'. Or the New Zealand version called "Kiwi' real meat in there

That looks like a nice recipe! Do you freeze it or cook it? If I may make a suggestion, you could also add other innards/ organs than liver to get even better nutrient content (and most of them are cheap to buy). Spleen, kidney, hearth, lung...of course the fish might contain some of these, esp if it is not gutted. We buy a frozen, complete raw food for our puppy (I wanted to make sure the calcium/phosphorous rate was ok, when she's older we'll be making our own). Here's the ingredients, if you're interested: Beef 35 % (meat, heart, stomach, liver, cartilage), Reindeer 35 % (meat, bones, lung, cartilage), Salmon 22 % (whole Salmon with bones), Vegetables and Oils 8 % (Broccoli, Salad, Apple, Carrot, cold pressed sunflower seed oil, flax seed oil).

@@emmamemma4162 I cook in a crock pot for five hours on low. You can feed raw if you want. I freeze what I don't use in a week. You are right about the other organ meat. I can only buy liver at my local grocery, but hearts would be good too. They only sell chicken hearts which I put in my homemade cat's food, but my dog is allergic to chicken.

@@Kasonas What a bummer about the organ meats, hope you'll find a way to get them cheaply and easily (whole fish?)! We feed raw for meals but kibble for training. Cooking might be a nice alternative for making healthy, tasty training treats (we go through lots of training treats, so they need to be balanced and contain everything she needs). I might need to use the oven to make something that is a little bit dryer, but I'll probably make something similar to your recipe.

@@emmamemma4162 That sounds great! Glad you are feeding your dog healthy!! We've seen so many dogs which younger than mine have cancer and I think it's because of the diet they're eating, which is the commercial food. and even if it's not the food I think by feeding them healthy like we are, it keeps their immune system strong so they can fight off diseases and cancers.

@@Kasonas Thanks :) It's tricky since there aren't that many studies on what dogs should be eating, but I'll (literally) put my money on meat, bones, innards and some veg/small amounts of other stuff for variety. Of course my dog could get sick anyway, but I like to think I'm giving her the best start in life I can.
