If you were referring to my comment, it's more like a lot of these boutique brands upload videos and photos of their manufacturing plantts and I'm like "so you can afford all that but not a nutritionist "

Not specifically your comment but in general. So many of them contract out. Diamond makes a slew of brands like 4 health, Kirkland, taste of the wild, natures domain, some natural balance…,,

@@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining. I know there's mail-order raw food companies where you get tubes of meat delivered to your front door when the seller repackages meat from the slaughterhouses, and assume that's what Glenn was talking about here. But then I realized he doesn't really review those companies on his channel, and neither most of the influencers on KZfaq he is referencing. Only one I'm aware who participate in that practice is Conor Brady from Dogs First. But only bumped into his followers under Zak George's dog-training videos, never anywhere else. On that note, I never really understood why small dog food companies say they can't do peer-review studies, yet Siru Salin is working with Snellman meat-processing plant in Finland via the PoDoCo system and she says small companies can compete with Mars, Nestle etc. "Salin points out that there are many pet food enterprises in Finland that would not have the resources to carry out scientific research to support their product development. If small companies were to get together as a consortium or cooperative, they might be able to employ a postdoctoral researcher via the PoDoCo system, for example." "Ecological and healthy dog food from abattoir by-products" by Antti Kivimäki published by Suomen Kulttuurirahasto on Septmeber 15, 2021. But I suspect it's because a lot of these raw-food companies don't want to admit they source their ingredients from Cargill, Tyson, JBS etc.

@@Zoe-tw9bg and it has nothing to do with on with testing therapeutic diets. Never too late!😊

Makes me wonder about Zignature since they have that on their website.

Thanks Sandy! Dr Rea just did an excellent review of NutriSource! You need to check it out. Her channel is AnDocRea. You will learn lots from her!

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy Yes, I watch her channel as well, but as usual, most of the dog food reviews, specifically Nutrisource of which I'm feeding my dog, eats the wet can beef and rice. Most reviews of this brand or any for that matter, is usually dry kibble. I did listen to her review of Nutrisource, but correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the nutrition be different between dry and wet? Thanks though.

lol! I actually just figured out how to use my microphone! Thanks for the feedback!

ill give it a look! Thanks!

I’d love to know this too!

Hey Zanniesmom, I’m like 99% sure it’s the treats. Hills has both dedicated canned and dry facilities.

The, what a business opportunity!

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy Buddy will be first in line to help support your new business. 🐕 yummy pig snouts, pig feet, and anything else you can throw in there is just perfect!!

George, puppies and kittens seem to do better on certain foods vs others for no clear reason. For a one year old cat there’s tons of healthy options out there.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy There are lots of adult options from Hill's; I'm not sure what to pick and what would successful if I were to go back to this brand.

@@George.J well you have a money back guarantee on all these brands so you can try them without spending a fortune.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy do you think perfect digestion helps in constipation?

Excellent point!

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy Yeah, seems to be the elephant in the room Champion Petfoods, Rachael Fusaro (who owns her own me to dog food company), Karen Becker all seem etc to dodge. None of them talk about assets.

Weruva and Medicus are also good examples of companies who have the resources to do the same thing as the Big Threes but chooses not to

@@ZaryaTheLaika yes. I mentioned Medicus in the video but Weruva is def another good example.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy it's okay. You're being a little soft on the "little guys". Rip off the bandages. Some of these pet food companies upload photos and videos of thelr manufacturing plants

Ed, Dr Freeman was never a Hills employee. She like others has been paid to lecture and do research. In all my years with Hills I don’t recall ever hearing her name till recently. You would think from social media she was running Hills.

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy Hill's did not want you to know Dr. Freeman was doing work for them. I hope you see the irony when one of your followers says not to listen to anyone who is not a veterinarian or a board certified nutritionist. "How can I miss you, when you never go away?" LOL

Receiving funding from Hill's, Purina and Mars is not the same as working for them. You might as well claim Indigenous land defenders in British Columbia are anti-oil because a few non-profit organizations received funding from Tides Foundation.

Same as the Colgate and other toothpaste companies donate to the ADA for research etc. Who else would. Why doesn’t every pet food company donate to WSAVA? They should!

@@StephanieStoudt-uv8nv I would imagine most pet food companies don't donate to WSAVA because their guidelines were written specifically to exclude them. Peer reviewed? Glenn says most companies don't meet the WSAVA guidelines. That doesn't mean they are bad. Sounds like those who say all kibble is bad.

lol! I go to the gym regularly for stress release… and because murder is illegal!

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy You can say it. My comment was deleted.

@@edschulhof6303 boy Ed! KZfaq doesn’t like you!

@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy I may have insinuated that dogs and cats should not be euthanized. Glenn should be allowed to relieve stress with certain groups instead.
