I Rate Dog Food Kibble | Best and Worst Brands

[@fightyourfears620]

I love the shade “for some reason people decide to feed their dog kibble” like not everyone can afford to feed a raw diet everyday.

[@Okamisou]

Ive calculated it, depending on what you get if you go for on sale meats it can average out about $1.50-$2.00per lb of raw foods where as a decent kibble brands can be around $2.50-3.00 So it breaks even or can be cheaper depending on how you do it. The only sucky part for raw foods is the prep and clean up.

[@671TechReviews]

@@Okamisou you also have to calculate the cost for vegetables and others to get the missing nutrients that meat doesn't provide right?

[@Okamisou]

@@671TechReviews it depends which you are doing. Are you doing Barf diet? Also what grocery stores are nearby? I found that aldis have very decently priced veggies and berrys. Especially if you decide to get berrys in the frozen smoothies packets.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

No shade. There are many reasons why someone might feed kibble. Convenience, budget, what they are comfortable with, etc and none of them are reasons for you to be offended

[@Lance_Thorpe_Esq.]

If someone saves a dog from the streets or a shelter, I understand that they "dp what they can". If you buy a dog from a breeder you should feed them the very best they can get which is a Balanced Raw Diet.

I feed my crew Taste of the Wild and add some leafy green vegetables, broth, some organs for treats, coconut oil and turmeric paste - not all at once, though. I mix it up to give them some variety. Great video with terrific information!!

[@naomiboswell3322]

I’m thinking of feeding my dog Taste of the Wild, but I noticed it has Copper Sulfate in the recipe. Do you know if that is dangerous to dogs?

[@IcebulletZ]

Our old dog developed kidney issues due to a poor quality kibble, we didn't know better and trusted the vet until she hit kidney failure (age 15). At that point we switched to a high quality grain free filler free food as well as some more homemade stuff (eggs, vegetables, chicken, turkey and brown rice) to supplement. She lived until 20 but the food change made it so she no longer needed all the meds. Our puppy now has addisons and is incredibly picky food wise. We got her to finally eat a dehydrated raw food after trying a bunch of kibble and wet foods. It's expensive but she's small and a little goes far. We noticed a big change.

Say what you will about hills. My basset hound struggled with allergies, dry skin, shedding quite a bit. Tried multiple foods and hills works for him. He’s happy as hell. Doesn’t chew his feet anymore after being in the grass. His coat is shiny and he doesn’t have dry skin anymore. Simply from hills. Just like diets for humans, dogs are all different as well. What works for one may not work for another. I’m grateful for hills giving me a happy basset. I’ll stick to experience vs someone reading online and then passing it off as original content.

I do wish I could feed them a raw diet but I just simply couldn’t afford to do it properly. I’m not sure if you have ready made a video like this and I just have t seen it, but could you make a video on the expenses of feeding your dogs in a week?

Not to scare you but ToTW is currently or maybe always was very high in lead, heavy metals and other toxins. The worst offenders usually in all food in general is fish heavy foods and in this case the boar/beef is high in lead more lead then a house in the US someplace. You'll need to look it up on The Truth About Pet Food for more info. Clean Label Project shows toxin levels but they also say that Ol'roy is good so I think they are a bit biased, but the tests themselves aern't.

For people feeding premade food of any kind (kibble, canned, dehydrated, frozen, etc) I'd highly recommend rotating foods often; I don't trust any brand to be so perfectly balanced as to feed solely long term; you wouldn't eat the exact same thing every day. I check for good quality of ingredients first; if the protein level or something else is not quite what I want I can make up for it with a different food that balances it out that also has good ingredients :) If your dog has been fed the same food long term they'll need time to transition since they've developed a weak gut, and make sure to avoid foods that have any of your dog's allergens (If you don't know what those are an elimination diet is in order). My dog is doing so much better since I've started doing this, and no longer needs a transition time; I mix and rotate foods constantly. Your dog may always need a transition time but I think it's worth doing, your dog will thank you!!

Maam.. if hill science says 1.5 cups (for example) for puppy.. does it mean for whole day (like split 1.5 cups 2 times) ? Or 2 times each 1.5 cups or 3 times etc?

[@berenicealvarez156]

The amount is for a day. You’ll split it between breakfast and dinner.

[@1191megmeg]

I work in a pet store and its a constant battle between what the vets tell our customers and whats really correct. I'm sorry but Science Diet and Royal Canin aren't much more special then cheap grocery store foods ingrediant wise. "My vet said these brands kill dogs!" Well Science Diet and Royal Canin recalls have killed far more then a random tally of dcm cases out of 89 million dogs in America. Science Diet and Royal Canin fund all the research given to vets so it makes sense it's started a war against boutique brands but shouldn't animal health be based on whats good for them? You wouldn't see doctors recommend children live on a diet of bread and vitamins so why recommend the equivalent for our pets?

Dry kibble is like giving your dog the same brand of dry cereal twice a day

[@jacobking4106]

Their an animal and don't give a damn. I think that's been proven 😂

[@lexwaldez]

Kibble can be the base providing the bare minimum nutrish requirements. You can add supplements to jazz it up, just keep it safe and good for their tummies.

[@AZ-bj8gw]

That's why I, & my dogs, like "Taste of the Wild". You get the same base with different flavors so you can rotate it...

[@deannapye9661]

@@jacobking4106 The important thing is that it's not healthy. It's been proven that kibble is baked at such high temperatures that the nutrients disappear. The preservatives can be cancer causing . Dogs have just as many taste buds as humans so they enjoy tasty food too. I love my dogs and since I know this info. I cook all their food.

Look in igredients. The Kirkland nature's domain is similar to Rachel Ray one in my opinion.

[@natalyarudenko9025]

Kirkland signature food for dogs is made by Taste of the Wild, just it’s made for Costco. So it’s basically taste of the wild with a very minor difference in the ingredients

What do you think about the FDA's report regarding the apparent link between some grain-free dog food with the increased risk of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (FDA, 2019).

[@abbyshavel2784]

I have a dog and I did A LOT a research before we got him. Unfortunetly, that was before I found your channel. I found this a few months after. Once I heard that kibble isn't good for dogs, I immediantly wanted to change his diet. my parents refused to believe that "Human food" is better then dog food. I just found this video. My dog eats Taste of the Wild, and I was very relieved to find out that even though kibble in general isn't good, my dog is still eating some pretty good food. I still am trying to convince my parents to change his diet, though. Could you make a video on exactly what your dogs eat, and how much? Because it would be very helpful to find out more about a safe, healthy, diet for dogs. Overall, this video was very useful. Thank youu!

[@CocoonsLastHope]

The boar/beef flavored ToTW and the fish ones are both coming up as high in toxins while the canyon one is very very high in lead. The Truth About Pet Food has the full story on that, it's too long to copy here.

[@juliawolf927]

Diamomd Pet is the company that makes TOTW and theyve had MAJOR recalls. Plus im pretty sure some other flavors of the food have alfalfa concentrate
