Finally someone who knows his stuff. Farmers like in the 1960's, at my grandparent's farm, with eggs, chickens,grain. They would feed their dog good human food. He did not ever go to the vet once and he "Barney" lived to be 21 years old. He just went to sleep during the night. I was only 6 years old and I was devastated. But it goes to show that every dog food along with human food is full of preservatives and additives. Even in the best top of the line dog food. So when you cook fresh food and meat, chicken, vegetables that have no additives, make your dod a bowl and in a few weeks you will notice a big difference in his all round health, coat and energy level. Have a Great Day Everyone and Thank You.

Haven't heard of the lemon grass yet, but got in a bit of a dispute on another forum once, specifically on deworming. I stubbornly did a bunch of research, through a lot of old studies, back before pH Arma owned most researchers. Should have compiled it. I'm talking grainy digitized microfiche. There was a bunch of solid evidence, for a lot of simple, cheap, natural dewormers. Joel Salidin swears that just running chickens with his cattle he doesn't need to deworm, something just unheard of. People like him and the Doc here, I respect.
@ocsweetputube Жыл бұрын
Vegetables and fruits are great for deworming dogs. They contain high levels of fibre which help to bulk up the stools and expel the worms. Pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples & papaya are all excellent choices. Feeding your dog a couple of these a day will help to clean them out and keep them healthy. Ginger is natural for parasitic infections!

My dog gets 30-50% of her diet from commerical kibble and the rest is what I eat with some raw foods a few times a week (mostly chicken, such as drumsticks). I eat healthy. Nothing fried. Cooked using microwave or conventional oven, mostly, with sparing use of olive or avocado oils. I eat mostly fish (salmon, cod, trout, mackerel), shrimp, canned sardines, some chicken, occasional pizza, nuts (pumpkin seeds, cashews, pistachios), rice, various potatoes, in season fruits and vegetables. My dog gets weighted at least once a week and the diet gets adjusted to maintain ideal body weight. This diet guarantees proper minimal baseline nutrition (due to the kibble) and because the kibble is only one third of her diet, any problems with the kibble (past recalls due to Vitamin D and melamine contaminants) won't kill my dog. Also, my dog has a sense of smell that's 100-1000x better than mine, and I want her to enjoy eating the good stuff. She drools when waiting for my "scraps", which she does not do with the kibble. Also this diet is cheaper and probably healthier than a 100% raw diet, with the added benefit that I've lost weight. Too much red meat is bad for humans and I would have to imagine this will be true for dogs, as they are only facultative carnivores, domesticated and genetically distinct from wolves, with redundant ability to process carbohydrates. This sort of diet would be what the first dogs would have eaten some 10,000-30,000 years ago. In regards to their diet, what helps dogs survive long enough to propagate the species is different when comparing earlier dogs to modern dogs that don't have the same survival pressures, who now needs a diet optimized for long life. Having said all this, both of us will get a bite of a hamburger or steak several times a year, which she almost always prefers cooked.

Hi Dr. Jones! Awesome information as always! I want to take my pup out of kibble. Im just scared because I don’t want him to loose some of the vitamins and minerals. What vitamin do you suggest for complimenting homemade meals? Thank you!!

I'm no vet , but I wouldn't trust kibble to provide vitamins or minerals . Not since I've learnt that most dried and wet dog food , is more harmful than beneficial for dogs . Or jabs ❗ Lots of online for info regarding this ...Good luck 🤞

My train service dog with chemical detection used to eat eggs years ago, but now refuses! Perhaps an indication of hens fed inappropriately

Silly question, but is flax and flaxseed or brown flaxseed the same thing? Please. I need to know. Thank you.

I'm not quite convinced about flax seed for omega 3s for dogs. I've heard that they can't absorb them from flax, and that fish or krill oil is more suitable. Anybody know more about this?

Hi Dr. Jones. It's nice to meet you and your Tula. She is beautiful and lio so healthy. I need urgently to change Coco's food. He is a wonderful and amazing Yellow Labrador Retriever. Next month he will be 8 years old. With the time he has been growing with a lot of allergy and am tires of the medicine prescriptions. 1. I am trying to change his Diet to a more conciseness one and literally healthier organic one. 2. I'm retired old mami and food is also gettin very expensive. I love this video. For me you know very well what you are doing and suggesting. Also you seems to be a very sincere person I would like to know the amount of food I have to feed Coco (80nlbs) with these suggestions. Thanks for you patience and I would like your opinion.

My dog just gave birth to 6 pups. I need a diet plan for them to make all 9 dogs to eat healthy. I'm trying to look for a weekly meal plan that I can follow for them.

What do I do immediately after making a homemade diet for my furbaby? Do I freeze it? Can I put it straight in the refrigerator? How do I get it to room temperature? I heard cold food is not good for senior furbabies. Please. Help.

Is there a homemade food recipe for small dogs suffering from low blood sugar that causes seizure ? My Pom has occasional seizures from low blood sugar in which i give honey at time of seizure but there must be something i can add to the daily diet to stop this from happening.
