The discussion in this video was not intended to debate on the topic of raw feeding, it was intended to help pet owners optimize the nutrition of their pets kibble. I feed both raw and home cooked diets, however I met with a certified pet nutritionist that helped me ensure my diets are properly balanced. Please do your research and speak with a nutritionist if you're interested in making the switch ❤

I had no clue, not an single iota of what a Pomeranian is. I innocently adopted a 15 yr old absolute wreck from a shelter, definitely not adoptable. I took one look and knew she would be put down. Sooo, I took her home. It’s been 4 months and she’s happy. She has nearly completed training me. I hadn’t a clue! What a powerhouse Pomeranians are. Amazing dog and she actually loves her innocent dope of an owner. I know you knew but I didn’t.

[@CherryJuli]

Every source I read about raw food is that it’s actually not that great since it can be contaminated with all kinds of bacteria. I talked to a vet that actually works in a food safety lab and he also said that it’s ridiculous how much food is contaminated.

[@Thecelestial1]

I dog sit frequently and the amount of people who tell me their dogs don’t eat is alarming. The poor things always seem to struggle when pooping and it’s so dry and clumped. I put an egg and water into the kibble and they eat it all up and their bowel movements seems so much softer and easier! Please water the kibble!

[@averycheesypotato]

Exercise is also an issue. A dog that doesn’t move & has dry kibble sitting out all day will have no appetite, even if they drink enough to keep them regular- hardly surprising!

[@GotAnUmbrella]

Everyone I know that says that just leave food down too long. Then the dogs come to my house and they get designated time to eat and that's it and the next day we basically have a clean plate. For those that are a tiny bit slow, I add a dollop of wet food and it's solved no matter what. I have a dog that's a difficult eater at home that gets fresh dog food and he eats so well at my house without any change besides a schedule. *edit: it's my friend's dog, not mine that's a difficult eater! The only difficulty eaters I have were difficult for medical reasons*

[@itsonlysound]

Some dogs just don't get on with kibble. It works for some but others need more moisture. My cocker needs a specific kind of kibble due to his allergies and sensitive stomach but its perfect for him. My springer needs wet food. Depends on the dog.

[@GotAnUmbrella]

Well, I wanna hear Sandra's husband's story about sneaking the dogs across the border without her knowing.

[@eric_the_egggremlin]

As a Michigander born and bred, I have an explanation: it's literally just a couple hours drive from Detroit to the bridge. If he left early enough, the whole trip probably only would've taken two days. I've gone from Grand Rapids in the Mitten to Marquette in the UP in a day. I know folks who've gone to Mackinac Island to grab some fudge and then turned right around and come home. Canada's a day trip for the majority of Michigan.

[@NightFoxProductions]

Can confirm as a Michigander as well, but I think her remark was more on how he managed to sneak out to Canada with his and his partner's dogs without her knowing. 😅

[@alisaishere]

But you think somebody would notice if their partner and two dogs were missing for a day or two. Crossing the border with two dogs can also add a lot more time than if a person went by themself.

[@linebrunelle1004]

it was about his wife not knowing of the trip. We know where your lication is on a map. lol

[@ruta1133]

My dad at some point in my childhood got into the habit of mixing the kibble with whatever leftovers we had in the fridge and some water or sauce of some sort. For example, the off cuts of roast beef with gravy, or leftover chicken breast with some soy sauce, or yoghurt with fruit in the morning. He used to always get crap from family friends for "spoiling" the dogs, but I found they loved the variety and it was a good way to use everything up. It has become a family tradition and I'm glad pet parents everywhere are starting to appreciate that dogs deserve it!

[@gellisbarber1786]

I fed my beautiful Chartreux cat raw food (conveniently shipped frozen from Darwin's) for years. Alas, she's suffering from kidney disease now and we needed to go to a low-protein canned diet. At almost 17 years old, she's still going strong, but I sometimes wonder if switching to more processed food has its own downsides. She certainly isn't as enthusiastic about chicken stew as she was about raw turkey.

One of my kitties is on a prescription diet to prevent the formation of urinary crystals that could block up his waste system, but we supplement his food with raw beef, chicken, rabbit, and turkey on a rotation. Our other kitty simply won't eat raw meat without something else mixed in, so she has her own rotation of canned wet food that gets mixed with her portion of raw meat. Both kitties are FIV positive, so we buy pressure treated and frozen meat to mitigate the risk of parasites. We're also lucky enough to have a nearby pet shop with an in house vet who is there to answer questions, as well as a whole wall of info sheets you can just take helping educate pet parents on common issues and how to improve their pet's quality of life. Place is called Mudbay and I'm so thankful for them

As for dog nutrition, I am not concerned about being a Raw food person, I think if you have the time and are careful, and your pet is doing really well, then excellent. I have been cooking my pets food for a very long time. I do not cook the food on High heat - that is NOT good for them or us. If people are really limited on $$ and time - use good kibble, and add the fresh foods to help. BUT, if you can healthy foods to their diet, all the better! Happy Holidays Everyone!

[@tammylee9617]

I've had both. Honestly liked the pom better. Just make sure your keeping a close eye if you get the pom. The one I got wasnt trained very well by the time I got her and couldnt undo her bad habits..snapping when paws and mouth touched even when at the vet..I was able to get her professionally groomed thoughbarking at every dog and human she saw on our walks..she hated other dogs but loved humans..if I wasnt paying attention she would lunge for and eat the poop she saw on our walks even on a leash she was super fast and I couldnt stop her. If I was laying down,she would always try to lick me on the lips..I didnt mind her licking my face but lips are a no go. Not sure why but her poop always got stuck and or would end up in her tail so I did have to give her a lot of baths..having said all the above I loved her a lot. I was able to get her potty trained in a new environment and able to teach her a few tricks that she caught onto very quickly lots of other great things just be aware poms can be extremely stubborn..and extremely hard to untrain bad habits. Also make sure to use a harness not a collar when walking due to the health issues this breed can have

Our Jack Russell puppy (10m) eats foods such as cooked chicken, raw veggies raw mince, cooked belly pork, scrambled eggs then she has dry food available all day for her to graze on. And then her tea and her breakfast. She also has a water bowl that has an ice pack in it. And is always topped up throughout day, bowl gets washed every mealtime and topped with water.

She doesn't eat a lot (at least, while anyone's watching, though the vet is happy with her weight and overall bloodwork), so after a few failed attempts we just went back to keeping it dry. We got a cat water fountain (but kept the other three bowls of water around the house) and after almost two months she's decided it's acceptable enough! At least for a few sips. Just gotta keep trying until you find something that works.

They both look gorgeous! A friend of mine used to raise Pomeranians and they have NO idea that they are not the biggest dog in the yard.

I never saw a black Pom before. He's beautiful. I've been researching dog and cat food and am shocked by the companies that own dog foods and the terrible things they put in the food. No wonder why dogs generally don't live long lives. May you have a Merry and Blessed Christmas

Corporations = profit. Always do your own research. 😉✌️

I love to see new breeds that I have not seen before on your channel.

Poms and sheties are so cute ❤

My dog won't eat her kibble at all without toppings. So she always gets some variety in her meals

Elfie looks exactly like my sister’s dog, except he’s a Dachshund.
