My dogs have been fed kibble and they are fine. They are happy and healthy. They are extremely active and run all the time in the backyard or walks. Whatever your dog thrives off of is fine. They still have some meat and eggs in thier diet ofc. They also get a little bit of wet food and plenty of treats with beef. It sounds like a lot but they don't get everything every day. Some things are every few days or once a week. All of the dogs ive had have lived full and happy lives.

I fed my dog (bichon poodle) only kibble and she passed last year at the grand old age of 18! Raw food is great if you can afford it but to be honest, even if I had fed her a raw food diet, I don't think she would have lived any longer. She got lots and lots of love!

Literally untrue. I am a veterinary professional and not one company pays any of the clinics I have worked in. we recommend food with research behind it . You can feed a balanced raw diet, but the average dog owner doesn't and needs recommendations for a kibble with research behind it.

[@jenmontzingo]

@@Crazybouncycurls LOL. You run the books behind the scenes? The dog food companies have ways of hiding things. Read the ingredient lists on the majority of foods. Filler, by product, blah blah blah. I’m not talking about your prescription diet options for special needs dogs - that’s outside of what I know. Compare that to whole proteins and ingredient lists in food - and yes kibble - at independent pet food stores. I can think of 5-10 good brands off the top of my head.

Diggs company did not complete did not honor their return agreement. When a company refuse to honor their refund policy. No where is it written that when a customer pays for a $475.00 Relvo(dog crate) and the customer asked for a refund 1 hour after purchase and they tell you had a change of heart. They informed me that I would have to wait for the create to deliver and I return the item. Then I would get my money refunded. That’s like two weeks after purchased the item. I think that is terrible customer service. Then they placed me on hold for two hours to speak to a supervisor. Diggs customer service is not respectful of their customer. Just a heads up. Henderson

Please make a video on cheap things to buy for your pup! I’m bit on a budget over here!

[@mackingcheese]

@Lily Pichardo For a crate and playpen you can get them from a brand called Midwest which makes really good ones for a good price. For toys, buy some different kinds (hard toys for teething, soft toys for fetch and tug etc) and be on the lookout for online sales. Now for food, first thing’s first, you’re not going to find a good food for super cheap. Quality comes with a higher price tag. But there are still some good foods that aren’t super expensive. Some brands I like are Nutrisource and Fromm and if you’re on an even tighter budget, Victor or Diamond Naturals are good choices. You can find all this stuff on Petflow.com and everything but the Nutrisource and Fromm on Chewy.com. If you have any more questions just ask and I’ll help you. Hope this is helpful.

My Shichon is a spaz as well. Everyone says it's normal tho. She's 4 months old and I'm exhausted!

[@LS-id5hc]

I started doing training with her food as my puppy wasn't kean on eating on her own, I do hand signal as well as verbal commands so I don't have to speak. Our puppy is 12 weeks and she understands sit, down, watch (eye to eye contact), paw, come will start stay next week as we have only had her three weeks, also we watch firework videos and other videos like squirrels anything you need your puppy to be ok with the more you put in the more your pup gets out of life. Glad I was doing the correct thing at meal times.

Great job 👏

[@Chris-by4zc]

Ugh thank God for you, Rachel. These are are the best training videos on KZbin. So extremely helpful and informative. Keep it up, you’re amazing!

[@FRANN_GRANDlife]

I’m so glad I found your channel my soon to be puppy was born yesterday & in 8 more weeks he will be home with me & I want to be the best dog mom I can be what pet insurance do you use? I would love to look into it & get signed up

[@jeanniejebbett3525]

Rachel what to do if my puppy isn't food motivated? She could take it or leave it. She does eat plenty but if there's a shiny object distraction she's all over it.

[@angiea8022]

I will be getting a Maltipoo in a week. Can you give me a few links for the right grooming tools? The right kibble, treats, etc? Thank you!

[@jenca242]

What about if your feeding whole raw food like; turkey neck, liver, ground meat or chunks? How would you use meal time for training or “not use a bowl”?

[@frostellebuilds9085]

You could try treats. Or if you're using chicken for example you put put on gloves and takes pieces of the meat and handfeed.

[@taylorcahill6340]

I know you probably won’t see this but, if at all cost you have to feed your dog kibble which one would you recommend

[@buckeyehc]

Do u know if dogs and cats can eat the same exact raw foods? That would make things easier for me. We are getting our first puppy! Breeder feeds raw. In my research, u feel bad that I've been giving my cat Purina all this time. 😞

[@iguana580]

Rachel you should make a video on puppy first aid kits

[@dorislee4470]

For how long should we hand feed the puppy though? This video was dated Dec 2020 so Rachel are you still hand feeding Wally now every meal?

[@Feya297]

I’m getting a puppy in July, but we don’t have a fenced garden any ideas/ tips?

[@torif4375]

What kind of dog? If it’s a working breed make sure to take him/ her for at least 3, 30 min walks per day if you don’t have a yard to let him/ her out in, if it’s a “pet” breed 1 would be fine. What type of dog are u getting?

[@Feya297]

A border collie if by then my parents haven’t changed their minds about getting a dog... and also how do you play outside with the puppy then??

[@megwalker6949]

Hi Rachel I’m just wondering if the pet parlour raw food is good for puppy’s and their nutrition? P.s I am using my moms acount and I love your channel

[@qhennimarchella3612]

hii im wondering if the puppy will be used to us feeding them in every meal n they wont want to eat from the bowl? happens to some of my friends. Any suggestionn ? Thanks

[@erikatopp]

Just tuning in to this video - we also have a 14-week-old goldendoodle named Wali (not sure how you spell your little guys name), but I'm super excited to try these tips!

[@RachelFusaro]

Adorable! His full name is Wallace, we call him Wally ❤️❤️

[@imnotmike]

Your dog recognizes S.I.T. as well as he recognizes sit at this point. You say it in a way that he recognizes. He constantly sits when you say S.I.T. FYI, you don't need to spell out your dog's commands. Dogs will typically tune you out when you speak in full sentences. When you said down, right after saying S.I.T., the down command didn't even register to him. Also, the reason he didn't sit the first time you asked him to is because the cat ran past behind you and he wasn't paying attention and missed the command because he happened to be distracted by the cat right at that moment.

[@frostellebuilds9085]

Can you do a video going deeper into a training method of positive interruption? Basically where instead of saying no you say a fun word like 'cupcake' to get your dogs attention! Happy bday Bentley!
