I am a little lost with all you said then you add seed oil to your pets food
I have 7 weeks old GSP … can I already take her off the kibble and prepare proper food for her?
Great content! After following these tips, the pet products from Planet Ayurveda are the perfect addition to your pet’s routine for natural care and wellness.
If this is all true then why is it still on our shelves? Isn’t the govt supposed to protect us from these products??
In Australia most veterinary clinics are being bought by multinationals, so it is all about the money. There is one vet in my suburb who owns her own clinic, she is a wonderful animal lover.
What do you think of farmina n&d?
What is the Ultimate Canine powder?
So you don’t believe a food needs to be complete and balanced to keep your pet alive. Do you even hear yourself 😂
I feel our Golden pyramese the dry kibble our vet recommended and I give her fresh veggies and fruits that are safe for dogs. I also give her organ food and lean chicken and beef, and turkey, plus sweet potatoes and pure pumpkin.
Dogs are carnivores. They should eat meat. 😂
I’m on numbers 6 and 7 of Australians Shepherd in my life. The previous 5 I feed high-quality kibble. They were mostly healthy but always had tummy problems, smelled, and the last became diabetic. They all died before their 12th birthday. Most sooner. My dad had an Aussie when he was a child, and it lived to be 19 years old. They feed it the same as they ate, and when they processed animals ( on the farm ), they fed him the trim and things that were unwanted, same with the game animals. What I’m saying is he never ate commercial dog food.
After the death of my last beloved pup before the current two, I looked into why modern dogs are having so many different health problems. I mean that I spent hours, weeks, and months reading everything that I could.
My, Unscientific conclusion? Commercial dog food is garbage.
I made the decision to feed a raw and home-cooked diet with as little commercial dog food as possible.
I do feed some kibble, but it is for travel and emergency use and as treats instead of treats ( I still give treats, but mostly freeze-dried one ingredient and other high-quality treats )
The raw is a ground beef mixture of 80% muscle meat, with the other 20% consisting of liver, spleen, heart, green tripe, kidney , and ground bone.
I also feed raw meaty bones, chicken paws, pork, venison, bison, chicken, turkey, and lamb. Along with oily fish like sardines, salmon, and mackerel.
The home-cooked recipe is sweet potato, carrots, beets, celery, spinach, kale, parsley, quinoa, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, ground beef and another protein like chicken or pork, turkey, lamb, bison, venison. Chicken or beef liver, chicken hearts, and gizzard. Some oatmeal and brown rice. Turmeric, ginger, kelp, garlic ( yes, garlic in small quantities are safe, and have health benefits for them the same as us )cinnamon, black pepper, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil. And add-ons that I have on hand sometimes mushrooms, parsnips, turnips, broccoli, green beans, peas.
I also give them raw chicken and duck eggs a few times a week. Also, sometimes, a Sunday morning treat with their breakfast, I’ll scramble eggs with spinach and mushrooms and give them with their breakfast.
My girl will be 4 here in less than a month as I write this and the boy I’d a year and a half. Both are super healthy ( by blood test and their veterinarian checkups) with beautiful shiny coats, healthy skin, clean ears, no bad smells ( breathe, coat/skin), and very active. I can see how much better they look, act, and smell over my previous pups! I just wished that I did this with them!
The cost? Well, I haven’t figured it up since the economy has gone nuts, but when I first started this, I did, and it was about $50.00 USD more than feeding high-quality kibble. As I get some stuff at Farmers Markets, and for the stuff like liver, kidney and the like, deep discounts. Also, get stuff from hunters.
Even the veggies that I try to use are organic. I look for discounts, stock up and pre cut, and freeze.
I bought a chest freezer for this purpose.
I make pumpkin puree, and it’s free because I gathered all the Halloween /Thanksgiving pumpkins up and cooked them. All done in my instant pot.
Also, make bone broth. I save my bones cooked and/or raw, beef, chicken, pork, venison, apple cider vinegar and with some chicken paws, water, carrots, celery, turmeric, ginger and parsley whip up a batch in the Instant pot, and put it in ice cube trays and freeze until need.
I cook the homemade food once a month, bag in, and freeze it. Thaw and use as needed. I also give them Goats Milk and kefir.
It sounds like a lot of time, but it’s not. I work 50 to 70 hours a week, and I have time to do this. I believe that I’m getting a return on my time and effort. That is two beautiful, healthy pups that I hope will have a very long, healthy life!
I heard that when a dog eats raw the stomach acid will be about a 2 which is equal to vinegar which will kill salmonella or Ecoli but if you add carbs potato’s or rice you will alter their stomach acid and then they could potentially get sick. Is that true?
Bingo baby! I have done a good amount of research and the best advice I got was from two book "give your dog a bone" by Dr. Ian Billinghurst and "Dogs,Dog Food and Dogma" By Daniel Schulof. Both are fantastic and written in 2016 and 1993. They are still applicable today. They both agree a lot and know variety in raw meats is key.They all agree bones (uncooked) are the keys. I can see the direction the big dog food guys will dip in as the market for prepared raw seems to be around a hundred dollars a pound. Not sure who in their right mind would pay that but it’s out there. You could literally by a dog Wego beef every day and spend less. Add some supplements and Wego liver with some quality eggs. Get that for half the price they sell it for. By the way still got the same potential problems you spoke of in your great video.
What a wonderful outcome. Thank you for giving so much detail. I use to kibble as extra food not the main food. Im going to stop feeding my darling dog processed foods. If processed for is bad for humans, it’s got to be bad for every other species. Thank you
Hi what do you think about feeding raw vs cooked I feed a good quality kibble with my own meat toppers bone broth etc should I switch? It doesn’t suit all dogs been told and not all kibble is bad
Seriously, I hope you don’t routinely let your dog sit on your kitchen counter. I’m pa pushover, but even I have my limits. 🤣🤣🤣
Peas aren’t good now right
I’m terrified of commercial raw!
dont these companies have any regrets to contaminate poor dog foods with harshful chemicals like they dont even know what they are eating in a slightest bit and dogs cant even express their pain so heartless behind this pet food industry business im now scared for my dog to what dog food should i feed him
What do you think of orijen red
Thank you once again Dr Jones ❤
Can you address the confusion about white rice versus brown rice for dogs? My vet says brown rice except if dog is ill, then white rice. I don’t even know which is best for me!
What do the readers think about open farm dog kibble?
Make me a bowl of that too I’m hungry now
My oldest dog is 20 this yr. I have 3 rescue Pomeranians in my family. Senior and special needs. As any vet can tell you, they are extremely sensitive little dogs. Prone to allergies and skin issues such as alopecia. My oldest was allergy tested multiple times. He is allergic to preservatives in most dog foods as well as poultry and pork. Along with environmental allergies. The other two are also allergic to poultry. Since I adopted them, I’ve always kept them on fresh foods. Steamed veggies, rice, fish, bison, deer, and vary limited ingredient dog foods. I read ingredients on everything. It started because of allergies, and then I realized how many other ingredients are harmful and unnecessary. Farmina, Open Farm, and Stella & Chewys have worked great for us. However, I do mix it up with honest kitchen or grandma Lucy’s too. Even adding cricket protein like Jiminys. No dog food is a complete diet. It’s very important to give variety as in the wild, they would also be eating a varied diet
Will you please make a video on good recipes/ ratios for dog food for high drive high energy working dogs?
Kibble is poison
I use Riplee’s ranch ..
😳😬🙄 My “God” if I wouldn’t get it why would I feed it to my pet or cat.👍
Is dog chow better than cook rice with carrot and chicken
Listen everyone that dog food [Farmers] is not good because dogs must have grains, or they develop heart problems as recent studies have shown and which the bible backs up See Matt 15 : 27 [Niv] bible . Google "do dogs need grains". Almost every dog food is bad either because of the chemicals , by products and/ or lack of grains and calcium .
Thank you for this video! My dog had colitis twice now, once due to stress (being in a kennel) and once because we fed him a treat from a pet shop that was clearly not up to standard. Would it be possible that raw food (occasionally) could trigger colitis or is it safe to give it a try?
There are estimated 80 million dogs in the U.S and people spend up to $30 billion per year on pets (Dog) supplies. I’m sure most of those 80 million dogs get fed processed brown kibble , also known as “Dog Food”. I think this dog kibble should be illegal, and should never be in the mouth of any dog. The shiny packaging, and creative labeling may fool consumers, but once you look at some of the side effects and ingredients companies put in this “Dog Food” you may change your mind about feeding this to your dog that you love.
First off, in 2007 a toxic ingredient came to dog food killing thousands of dogs and pets nationwide. It’s called Melamine. It’s used as a fertilizer, but this was found in dog food. This is not cool, when you feel safe feeding your dog “Dog Food ” they are killed by the careless ingredient. According to Truth About Pet Food “Royal Canin” and “Diamond Pet Foods” have caused 300,000 concerning phone calls to the FDA about this poison and the damage it has done to their pet. They have put this poison inside of Kibble, treats, and even in canned dog food!
Also, Dr.Barbara Royal is an illustrator and a vet in the food industry she states “ Corn, Wheat, and Soy should not be fed to any dog”. Funny how, most dog foods you see have those 3 ingredients. Dogs shouldn’t consume these because they can cause diabetes, overweight, arthritis, chronic skin, infections, and even allergies! All the dog food companies only care about profit, so they choose the cheapest option to put in the food. So Corn, Wheat, and Soy are so cheap because we have so much of it, so companies choose quantity over quality. Specific companies like “Kibbles ‘n Bits”, “Beneful”, “Hill’s” and more popular brands include these ingredients.
Companies may have toxins and biologically inappropriate, unnecessary ingredients, but some include By-Prod. By-Prod is the edible parts that’s leftover after an animal has been slaughtered, or died. This sounds disgusting, and unsanitary. By-Prod could have diseases, or even illnesses and these companies process those foods and call them “Dog Food”. A company called “Purina” uses this, and so do some others.
After all, what is the solution to this? Well, instead of unnecessary kibble, you could feed your dog Raw food. I know it may sound disgusting but it’s way healthier, and biologically correct to feed them raw food, like raw bunny and other raw prey. According to Kiddle, “Wolves and dogs share 90% of the same DNA”. Every dog may have a different appearance, some may have big fluffy fur, some might have no hair at all! But, no matter how different each dog looks they still are related to wolves and should be on the same diet. Doesn’t it just sound wrong to feed your “Wolf” kibble? I think it’s way more appropriate to feed your dog raw food, instead of dried intoxicated kibble. The dog doesn’t have a specific diet, so we are capable of abusing them with the food they eat! My dog used to eat dog kibble, back then she wasn’t very happy, and would have a lot of allergies and would get sick often. Though after we fed her raw food she’s been whining for her food and once you prepare and place the food on the floor for her she’ll gobble it up like it’s the last meal of her life! And she has been very healthy and barely has any allergies now.
To add up, try to avoid the colorful bags , and consider getting raw food. You can’t say your dog won’t like it till you try it! I think dog food should be more supervised by vets and the public should start introducing more raw food to stores and the public. If you love your pet you’d make the right decision. Dog Kibble should disappear and be truthful when it comes to advertising
Hii I love writing, and I happen to stumble across the topic of dog food and or dog kibble, I have a dog of my own and I highly recommend raw food^^ it has really changed my dog, she used to starve and she had a lot of allergies but ever since we fed her raw food her health as been great. I WROTE THIS, this is not a copyright please don’t steal 🙁 I just want to share my opinion and if you want to hate on me then keep it to yourself please
What do you think of Tuscan natural kibble?
Cat gets diarrhea every time with each different food or flavor .😢😢😢😢😢
Have you heard of Taste of Wild?
What is your opinion on that food.
I just got back from the vet who told me I should not feed raw and it’s best NOT to change up my dogs food. It goes against my gut feeling though because adding new things (including raw) or changing kibble flavor keeps my 17 yo dog more interested in eating. I don’t understand why vets don’t agree.
Where can I order your Ultimate Canine?
What is the best diet for a dog with epilepsy?
I wish there were more vets out there like you. I feel so unsupported. Thank you for doing what you do!
I am now feeding my pugs 1/4 cup kibble,1/4 cup partially cooked chicken breast and raw chicken livers. They love it.chicken livers are $2/lb .they stopped scratching
My vet constantly pushes all those grains. It’s all the practice sells. Interesting connection there. I ask about chemicals shortening dog lives. My vet said that’s social media lies. As a chemist, my vet thinks there is no such thing as a bad chemical for dogs. Have we forgotten everything Rachel Carson taught us?
Are you familiar with Professor Andrew Knight’s work which has highlighted the efficacy of plant-based diets for overall improvement in health outcomes of cats and dogs? He has a presentation called ‘Should Cats and Dogs go Vegan?’ that is highly recommended. We not only need to start moving away from conventional (*WW2* era…) kibble, but there needs to be a new precedent set for what domesticated animals’ diets look like if we hope to see a future with more quality time spent with pets and positive maintenance at the vets, vs. the current sad state that most pet owners are starting to wake up to.
Just watched a video where you say “NO PEAS”. What gives?
We can’t afford the Farmers Dog food, it’s too expensive.
Seed Oils are horrible for people, I can’t imagine them being good for Dogs either.
You completely lost all credibility when you added sunflower oil to her food. Do you not know how absolutely HORRIBLE seed oils are for bodily consumption????!!!!
did he just feed the dog raw chicken? I was under the impression that chicken should be cooked before feeding it to dogs. When I asked AI, I was told never to give them raw chicken, so I just want to be sure. It looks like he gave her raw chicken, right? That would be awesome if so & great to confirm! As I go and watch some other videos to try and figure this out, thank you!!
Love your video and got some question
I really hate kibble due to some cat got illness or disease, but why some cat still stay healthy on dry food, kindly advise. Thank you
Thank you for your information. It’s so helpful. My pup is currently in the vet hospital. Developed AKI following surgery to remove a grass seed from hos leg. I thought he was going to die. 10 months old. My vets are amazing people. They are giving him cooked chicken and he’s nibbling on it. But also kibble. I’m unsure about that in renal disease. Ge won’t eat it anyway.
On iv fluids and praying he is ok. Any advice please. I respect you so much
