I LOVE your videos. Please do a review on Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20 (salmon and rice) I just bought a bag for my Doberman who can’t seem to keep on weight on Stella and Chewy or any “boutique” brand.

So, if you had to choose a Fancy Feast pate for an adult cat would the adult version be better or the "all life stages " because it might have more nutrients, because it's also sustainable for kittens? ( just thinking out loud )

thank you for this in depth review of Rachel Ray Nutrish and PetSmart Simply Nourish. I have 2 rescue dogs - a small chorky (chihuahua/yorky terr) and what we think is a cockapoo. I've used Rachel Ray Nutrish little bites for years and I just discovered Pet Smart Simply Nourish deboned turkey and brown rice. I am adding in the Simply Nourish a little bit at a time because the cockapoo reacts quickly to new foods. I always make chicken and vegetables and add to the dry kibble. Thank you again for your review.

My beautiful Bichon took her pictures with Santa today. Thank you for all the good information you give us.

Dr Rea… I came across a homeopathic vet here on u tube. His 13yo poodle has liver disease. He looked into it deeper & he has been feeding her the treats with one ingredient; the beef liver, chicken liver dried training treats. He believes the uptick in liver disease in dogs could be from the treats. Higher levels of copper as well. Just wanted to pass that along. Take care Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks for your effort and detailed comparison. I think calories per cup should have also been factored in. Comparing Purina Pro Sport (30/20) to Purina One: Purina Pro has about 26% calories more per cup. Depending on where you purchase, per pound, the Purina Pro Sport costs 20% to 26% more than Purina One. Assuming one would adjust feed amount in a accordance with calorie content, the Purina Pro Sport would cost about the same or even less than Purina One.

Hello! We just rescued a 3 month old German Shepard puppy and noticed he drinks a lot of water. Is that normal for a young puppy? Thank you so much, and I love the videos!

How is it cooked? Also didn't say if they used meal

Hope you have a blessed Christmas season.

Ty for what you do & if we don’t see you before Xmas hope you & yours the very best…

Ty for keeping us to date…!!!

After the holidays I’d love to know about Steve’s frozen Raw dog food… if you’re looking for a new one. Lol We have a large supplier of raw here in Houston. Houston Raw pet food. Goose is doing well

Thank you Dr Rea

Oh my goodness how scary. Praying for all the animals affected by the recall.

I almost cant believe you can get a straight answer from Purina. They responded to part of my question via email...the calcium content of this food is 1.52% on a dry matter basis. Too high. I will be returning the bags I bought.

Enjoying these Vlogmas episodes. You are the best doing these during Christmas. In 2014, my previous cat, Roxy, sat on the kitchen floor, observing our family Christmas dinner. The next day, December 26, she passed, at the age of 15. 🎶 “Joy to the world, the Lord is come . . “ 🎶 Merry Christmas and Hanukkah Semeach!

Thanks Dr Rea you are the bomb

Me being a pet mom I need to know what type of lump if I find one it is. Never assume .. we need to care for our pets. Christmas is for our kiddos lol!

Oh my goodness the engulfed ear looks so painful for them

Is there a brand with fresh/frozen food that’s suitable for SMALL breed puppies?

Thank you for this, Dr Rea! My pup turned one a few months ago and I switched to Purina Dog Chow because of this video. It took a while for his stomach a bit to adjust - it would cut right through him at 25% tapered. I ended up giving him 5-10 kibbles with his puppy food then slowly giving more. I appreciate it hits all the nutrient needs at an affordable price. Reddit was telling me to get Purina Pro but I am thankful I found Dog Chow, much more affordable!

Hello Dr! I hope this message finds you well. I would greatly appreciate it if you could recommend a high-quality cat food for kidney care. My vet suggested Hill’s, but I’m looking for an alternative that not only supports kidney health but also uses top-quality ingredients. I value your expertise and would love to hear your opinion on other options that balance therapeutic benefits with premium ingredient standards. I was thinking about Farmina Vet Life Renal.

What about homemade treats?

I just lost a2.9 yr old, well bred GSD. stay away from pulses in grain free. Feed wellness and home made his whole short life. DCM

Thank you Doc Rea for the info 😉🐾

Re: Taste of the Wild: "Q.Does the heat of the cooking damage nutrients in your food? A. Yes and no. It is true that some of the nutrients in the food are diminished by the cooking process. Because of this, we make sure to add higher than necessary levels of these particular nutrients so that the finished product provides optimal nutrition and meets our guarantees. The food must be cooked under certain conditions (including heat of approximately 200 degrees) to guarantee that the starches in the food are gelatinized. This means that the chemical structure of the starches (or carbohydrates) in the food are altered so that they are able to be digested by the animal eating the food. While there are some nutritionists who believe that raw foods are the only way to feed ourselves and our pets, we know that you can provide your pet excellent nutrition by feeding a high quality, convenient dry product like ours."

Re Taste of the Wild "In the form of steam, water is used in the cooking process for dry pet food. Taste of the Wild® uses a water purification process known as reverse osmosis, which is the same process that many bottled water manufacturer’s use. In reverse osmosis, water is forced through extremely fine filters, removing microorganisms, organic chemicals and inorganic chemicals. The result is purified water, which is then used in the form of steam in the cooking process for Taste of the Wild® dry pet food."

Aww, sweet little pup ❤ he's so lucky to have you ❤

Thank you for this review! Would love to see a review on Nom Nom!

Hi Dr. Rea. I want to switch my dog to pro plan. I just don’t know whether I should choose large breed food. My Lab is 2.5 years old and 55 pounds. Is this considered large? Also, should I be concerned about canola meal?

Thanks so much for this!!

I have neighbor that has all this cats and leaves her garage a few inches opened so they can go in and out, so they wonder around the neighborhood.. but now they have all this kittens roaming around.. 😞

I would love to see Fromm next! Seems like protein and fat are in the right zone, but fiber is a touch high? Curious what you think!

So how did they determine it, by symptoms or labs…!?!

Wow! This food is not good for dogs at all and the fact that it was scored a 7!!! Nope

Hi Dr. could you please review “good bowl” by open farm 😊 thank you and I hope you have a blessed Holiday

Thanks for sharing:)

Thank you for this video! I have 7 dogs ages 1-15 three of them are 15. I do brush their teeth daily and it’s like an assembly line that takes 30 minutes a night. My vet is very impressed with the health of their teeth and gums.

Thank you for this! My older dog has a broken tooth and has a dental surgery scheduled in a few weeks. I've been nervous about his procedure, but now I feel a bit better. Hopefully they won't find any problems other than the broken tooth. (I DO NOT recommend those nylabone/benebone toys by the way. Bad idea for dog teeth!)

So what is your reccomendation for healthy kibble? Hills Palmolive? Royal Mars Candy. If so, what are your kickbacks and how much of schooling did Nestle pay for?

Peroxide to save the day! Glad she brought it up! Sending her a kiss and NO MORE DARTS missy!!! 😂

Love it!!!

When you pull teeth, especially molar, will the other teeth shift position in jaw with a tooth missing?

I was told to give my seven pound chihuahua half of a children’s tablet. They have different flavors and I’m not sure which kind to give them. I looked at the grape but when I read up on the ingredients for the grape I’m not sure it’s safe. Could you tell me which one to use please. She has bad allergies

Oh Mama I promise I won’t eat another Nerf dart again. Oh sweet pea Goosie says “boop your nose”

😂😂💀🐾

Is there anyway you can add more 7-10 rated wet cat foods on your amazon front? I love your videos Ive learned so much about nutrition and as a veterinary nurse I feel so much more informed about most of the boutique foods!

She's the cutest gangster ever! Glad she's okay! :)

At least it came back and not through! My cats play with my grandson's Nerf darts all the time. They bat them around and carry them in their mouth! When they stop, I pick them up. Then the cats find more! LOL
