Folks who call themselves pet nutritionists will tellyu processed pet food is harmful, just like human processed food is. Is that true? one needs to ask the purpose of processed human food and the purpose of processed pet food. Lets examine that!

Ohhh, if my Roxy seen me eating her food, she'd yelp, whinge, cry in dog language saying, "MUM -THATS MY DINNER", she would not be happy.

Hi! One video I would love to see you speak on is the purpose and appropriation use of pet/dog supplements. Not prescription, but supplements; and what types are considered unnecessary such as daily multi vitamins, omega 3 fish oils etc. It seems the pet supplement industry has become all the rage… completely disregarding the nutritional balance of dog food. I would love to hear your take on this!

It turns out that, yes, I will watch a video to the end out of sheer shock of watching someone eat dog food on camera. I've always thought about how, if my car went off the road, and I was trapped there in a blizzard with nothing but pet food, how hungry would I have to get before I'd crack open the cans of pet food and dig in.

I’m curious about wet foods. I feed my dog RC but he likes the combo of wet and dry so I sub some dry with wet every feeding, mostly farmers dogs, hills, or Purina. RC doesn’t have a great selection of wet food. Is it ok to mix brands of wet/dry. Like RC/hills etc. or should you stick with the same brand RC/RC… Purina/Purina etc. I often wondered this is ok for a healthy pet or if you should stick within the same brand for wet and dry.

@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv 2 ай бұрын

I’m not a vet professional but I listen to vets and board certified vet nutritionists and if you’re using a topper of another brand, that plus all daily extras should be less than 10% daily calories. If you mix wet RC with dry, it should be same flavor and there are directions on how to properly do this on the back of the RC bag. Otherwise you risk throwing the nutrients out of balance.

@ChristineClark-ft8tq 2 ай бұрын

@@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv thanks for that insight! I def minimize to 10 percent of the diet. I like RC dry foods but am not a fan of the wet so I usually choose between hills, Purina, or farmers dog as choices. I never thought of matching protein since it seems the vast majority of dry is chicken based. My dog loves all different proteins.

@PetFoodPuzzleGuy 2 ай бұрын

I agree with Stephanie. That 10% rule is pretty much accepted by most credentialed folks. Makes sense.

@Wendy-ce5gd 2 ай бұрын

“The problem isn’t is processed food bad? The question is what’s the purpose of the process.” I’m trying real hard to think of a processed food recommended for “all people”. Maybe someone can help me? Currently the closest I can come is canned fruit or veggies in water no salt added. Yes, there are some medical foods some people require, but that is a super small percentage of the population. The biggest medical reason I can think of right now is for people who have to have liquid diets because of Gastroparesis or severe intestinal dysmotility. It’s been pretty well proven by the medical community that a whole food diet, staying clear of ANY processed food is your best bet for maintaining lifelong health. We don’t feed diabetics or people with kidney or heart disease or chronic embedded urinary track infections or IBS out of a can or box. We just don’t. So why are we doing that to our animals??? The solution offered by EVERY medical specialist for people with those conditions is a diet of whole foods from the produce, meat and possibly for some dairy. Why do we buy the idea that PROCESSED food is better for our cats and dogs? Even (or maybe especially) those with chronic conditions??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Ah Yes. Convenience! You hit the nail on the head. Packaged food is more convenient for people to feed themselves, their families, and their pets even though science has concluded the opposite. I am sure the pet food manufacturer associations would be quick to answer that whole food diets are not accepted by veterinary professionals as being superior to processed. But that’s not a fair race from the start because feeding real whole foods is not promoted because large corporations like Nestlé, Mars, Hills etc. have too much skin in the game. (That’s the same reason why Americans are allowed to consume many chemicals and additives that are banned in Europe by the way) Probably eventually a majority of vets will begin to realize the reason so many pets are coming down with chronic illnesses, like kidney disease, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, allergies, thyroid conditions, chronic ongoing constipation, or diarrhea leading to conditions like mega colon, heart disease, gingivitis and advanced, inflammatory conditions of the gingiva and periodontal pocket, such as stomatitis etc, goes back to the diet they are fed. Currently,and sadly, most of us feed food that comes in a package. Shoot, even the food from the produce and meat departments and conventional stores could trigger auto immune diseases and some people so naturally their byproducts could do the same to animals. Sadly, I admit that I am one of those chronic condition suffer and don’t have the energy to put together my pet cat meals myself so I do feed exclusively manufactured foods. I know deep inside, just like I know that there’s something terribly amiss with our food industry, that these convenience foods are what’s causing us a lot of chronic health problems. Stats don’t lie. Look at the growth of convenience and fast food industries and compare it to the growth of human chronic conditions since about the 50s.

@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv 2 ай бұрын

As Glenn has stated time and time again, it’s the nutrients that matter. Board certified veterinary nutritionists design these diets with the perfect nutrient balance for optimal healt for the lifetime of the dog. Human convenience food is not balanced to be eaten all day everyday. It is for convenience, and taste, like a hot dog would be to a dog. Luckily we don’t feed our dogs hotdogs but rely on those well educated nutritionists to get it right. The nutrient levels and balanced nutrition is very critical and has a tiny, almost non existent margin of error. Sadly, over 90% home made pet food is lacking in critical nutrients

@@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv you are right about the recipes floating around out there. Wouldn’t it be ideal for vets to hand out recipes for pets owners who are willing to cook for their pet? Therein bridge this gap. I do think some people eat all processed food. We have to be careful without fresh or frozen meat we buy. Some DO contain additives that don’t belong there. So if people buy a brand of chicken with carrageenan added, then pear that with oven baked Ore-Ida french fries, or garlic instant mashed potatoes, and a canned vegetable, it doesn’t really look processed, but it is

@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv 2 ай бұрын

I get what you are saying. But regarding home cooked recipes, vets rely on nutrition information from boar certified veterinary nutritionists. They are the only ones qualified to formulate recipes for pets. If you want to cook for your pet, your vet can recommend a consult with one. They will develop a recipe strictly for your pet. But you have to follow exactly. No substitutions. One substitution can throw off the absorption of another nutrient. Nutrient balance is much more critical for pets than humans. As far as human diet, I rarely buy meat from grocery store, and make pretty much home made food, salads, side dishes

Wendy, my 8 yr old special needs granddaughter is not verbal and must be fed by a G Tube. She eats nothing but pouches of processed food, but those pouches are very different than the typical harmful processed foods people eat. I do agree with most of what you said but I do not see a correlation if all disease in dogs and cats coming from commercial food vs whole fresh foods.
