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.

[@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.

[@theaarongarcia]

Vet schools are funded by big pet food manufactures. It's so sad

[@Dobbs3]

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.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

Exactly. This isn't orginal. What I say doesn't matter at all. It's what's in the food that matters. I'm only reading the garbage you are feeding your dog.

@@HappyTailsAnimals you do understand you are no where near educated enough or understand the science behind nutrition to be throwing your opinion out there as facts.

Blue buffalo is definitely not good, I work at a boarding kennel and find that the dog hates it and will refuse to eat it until it absolutely has to.

Thank you for sharing this, it's really educational and helpful for first time dog owners. Also, I did see research about the issue of Taste of the Wild and confirmed that some of their products contains heavy metals which causes medical issues with your dogs. I read the shared document about the lawsuit and I have to return the dog food that I ordered because I can't risk my dog to get sick. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to ruin the brand, I'm just sharing and raising awareness. Up until, the case is still ongoing. You can try to do a research about this as well, you'll most likely be directed to the main source where the shared lawsuit file can be checked and read.

[@miss.evaaaa7359]

OMG thank you so much for this video, I’ve been doing research for a good dog food for the past week and this video helped me to decide 100% on one. My new havanese puppy will be fed well❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@austinburton9247]

I’m so glad seeing this video because I feed my dogs taste of the wild and my vet always gives me heck for feeding that rather then science diet which is a brand she stands by. It’s funny though that she also sells that brand in her clinic and not the one I feed🙄😂 I’ve given my dogs science diet in the past but they always ended up having dry skin really bad and my one dogs allergies would act up, but they really do well on taste of the wild so that is what I go with for now. 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? Like all the ingredients that you generally use in their weekly meals just so I could get an idea of how much it would be for my two boxadors? I have a 1 & 3 year old boxadors and they are my babies😍 Love your channel keep up the great work!!!!!!

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

God vets can be so annoying 😑

[@py528]

Science diet is sadly not good quality food. They use corn gluten meal which is not fit for human consumption but it's actually a "leftover" after making corn syrup and sweeteners. You can Google all this it's all there.

[@CocoonsLastHope]

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. It's based on a really weird star system, best to just press on the food and see the results.

At one time, Iams was really popular with vets! I still feed my dogs Iams lamb and rice formula. I had one dog that lived to be nearly 20, and she was med-large range. I am thinking of switching because I have small dogs now.

[@kierapetit9761]

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!!

He was older, and although his blood work came back normal, he stopped eating and became ill quickly and we did not know the ultimate cause of death. The vet thought it may have been a type of stomach cancer or another form of cancer undetectable by blood work. Any way, like I said, I don't believe the food was a contributing factor, but with the recent news from the FDA, I am very afraid and confused on what to feed my next dog.

Wow, very well I learning how to feed my dog.

I feed blue buffalo, but i use the one that isnt grain free :P And i love it, but of course i supplement with raw foods, and stuff, i just can't afford feeding three dogs 100% raw food since im 15 and spend all my money on them. 😂

Kara Equestrian I feed my dog a high quality food that’s not grain free and supplement with 95% meat wet food , raw food and meat

[@67lilbear]

Order online through Chewy - right now BB grain free formulas are $20+ off regular price per bag

Blue buffalo also has two law suits against them and recalls constantly

I want to do the same but my parents won’t let me

@@Jovemelina where yall get this fake info if you look every dog food brand has had recalls and the only one ive seen on blue was 3 years ago and it had nothing to do what was in the food.

You did a great job in helping me decide, I loved how you went through each dog food. I'll definitely keep you as a good reference for my three fur buddies 🥰

Took a my new puppy to the vet today for her first shots. This is not my normal vet, with the vaccination schedule I found a place much closer to home for her shots. Dude lectured me for feeding my other dog Taste of the Wild. Puppy is on Diamond Naturals, planning to switch her but that's what the person I got her from was feeding. Why do vets recommend Science Diet so much? I tried that with my adult dog and she was always constipated. Every poop was tough on her. She is healthy, plenty of energy for a large 10yo dog. Never a health issue.

I love it when people who arent vets give people advice on what to feed their dogs

Its even better when people ask surgeons for nutrition advice.

Vets are trained for surgery not nutrition. The nutrition classes are given by kibble companies.

My Miniature Schnauzer is almost on the winning side of a hard fight with pancreatitis and immune mediated polyarthritis, where he temporarily lost his ability to walk. He will need to be on a low fat food, moving forward. The vet is recommending Royal Canin Gastro Low Fat, but my dog has been on quality (animal protein, healthy veggies) grain free foods all his life and I don’t like the ingredient profile of this food. I have sense found out about Solid Gold Fit and Fabulous (Chicken, Sweet Potato, Green Bean formula), which is both grain free and low fat. Can you share your opinion on this brand, and particularly, the profile of this dog food specifically?

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Get your dog which ever food is closest to biologically appropriate that you can afford.

Can you re-rate these without taking into account price?

[@reagantroll]

Wait, a minute. Vets recommend Royal Canin, but she doesn't and I'm supposed to pick her expertise? I mean, i can agree with marketing bullshit and all that, but my dog still is relatively healthy on it. Plus, not everyone has the time to cook homemade food. :)

[@samanthaswann5071]

The thing is, vets aren’t trained that much on nutrition and they just normally name name brands. Do not trust what ur vet recommends for animal food.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

You don't need to trust me. There are plenty of sources out there for you to trust about RC including several vets.

[@bronwynreijnders7205]

I'm curious why you say more than 28% protein is too high?

[@chloec2165]

A raw diet is the BEST option for dogs. You should check out the documentary 'PET FOOLED' on Netflix - it is shocking what companies put in pet food. It is our responsibility as owners to ensure that our pets are healthy and happy.

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

I dont think I want to watch that 😆 lol. But I bet it's a good documentary

[@teaestrada1973]

I work at a pet store and I hate recommending Blue Buffalo. Too many people bring back open bags saying their dogs had complications with the food or they just wouldn’t eat. Plus the brand really hits the whole grain- free niche hard. But my coworkers are always quick to convince people Blue Buffalo is a safe and blanket option for dogs.

[@princevegeta2956]

Do you recommend nutrish? If not what do you recommend in target?

[@michaelashaperonova]

Can you rate small dog formula dog foods? (Cesar, Purina Beneful)

[@j.u.4688]

Blue Buffalo Wilderness uses peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and alfalfa to bump up the amount of protein. It is plant protein vice animal protein which is completely different meanwhile the carbohydrates are around 36% according to dog food advisor. Carbohydrates should only be around 5% to no more than 14%. That’s the problem with almost all dry dog food...high carbohydrates and using higher plant protein to boost the overall protein of the kibble. Plant protein is a lot harder to digest than animal protein for dogs, but it’s cheaper to use in dog food.

[@henznx9338]

So should I feed my dog this?

[@j.u.4688]

Henznx I’ll be honest with you...I went from kibble - to premium kibble - to fresh commercial - to DIY cooked meals - to combo DIY raw/commercial raw (sold only online). It was a gradual progression over six years. I have been feeding raw for two years now. My dogs have been doing very well. My Older dogs (which have passed) did kibble, home and then fresh cooked. The three dogs I have now have only done home cooked and/or just raw. Their carbs are only around 7 - 13 %. Two of my dogs can’t do grains, especially corn. My other dog can’t do legumes. All kibble has has one or a combination of those. Causes bloody diarrhea and vomit over time for them. I was able to figure this out through eliminating foods, which is easy to do on a raw or cooked diet. You can try freeze-dried for the meals, if you don’t want to go down that route like Stella and Chewy’s, Northwest Naturals, Honest Kitchen, or maybe Primal. Just a suggestion. I give freeze-dried as a snack for the dogs. Hope this helps. Good luck.

[@henznx9338]

J. U. Ok thank you I’m getting a dog soon and I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what food to get him

[@j.u.4688]

Henznx the highest quality is raw, then freeze-dried, then dehydrated, followed by fresh cooked. After that is canned followed up by dry kibble. You are going from the least processed/freshest to the most processed/non fresh in that order. People have differing opinions on raw, but for those like me who have been doing it for a while, I think the dangers are overblown. I use a commercial online raw company for my dogs’ food. It meets the AAFCO standards. I have a vet that supports me and helps. In the end I believe fresh, minimally processed is best over dry kibble. However, people have to decide what’s best for their pet.
