I am trying to find a good intro way to do this. Any video or website suggestions?

[@massiepro8392]

I’m from India, my family gives human foods to all our pets, they hardly had any health problems. Meat, vegetables, even fruits, they eat it all. If it’s good for us, good for animals as well.

[@crunchybunnylady]

I often give my dog a share of what we are having for dinner...unless I know it's something not good for him. I always think about "what were farmers feeding their dogs before kibble was invented"? Likely some scraps and leftovers.

[@winningrabbit9843]

Awesome information!!I started making my own dog food using brown rice, hard boiled eggs, carrots, pumpkin beets (small amount), peas (small amount), homemade chicken stock, ground beef or ground chicken and freeze it in large batches. My older girl who used to have arthritis now runs with my younger dog. They also get kelp and cod liver oil.

[@phtm35]

How much does that cost per meal?

[@ocsweetputube]

Brown rice contains arsenic.....small amounts, but why risk it?!? Use white rice 🍚 & you can eat it too!!

[@MA-vm6jl]

@@ocsweetputubeall rice can contain it. Brown rice is better for you. If u can just get organic rice.

[@edschulhof6303]

@@ocsweetputube Boiling the brown rice, like pasta, removes about 60% of the arsenic. All dogs are different. The bigger the dog, the more they can tolerate. Dogs digestive systems are stronger than a human to handle bacteria, minerals, etc. It's up to the owner to decide.

[@kalbarridogs]

Rice is not a good food for dogs, way to high in carbs which turns to sugar.

[@Manhunter5068]

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.

It's the same with my grandpa he only feed his German shepherds human foods he feed them Ham 3 times a week with garlic,as well as garlic chicken,garlic beef basically he gave them garlic everyday mix it different types of meats from Ham, Chicken,pork,beef, turkey,lamb and sea foods daily and all of his German shepherds lived around 30 human years healthy as an ox, he never had to take them to the vets as they never got sick never had fleas nor anything. People don't realize that store bought dog foods are the worst things to feed ones dogs as store bought dog foods shortens dogs lives and causes all kinds of health issues in dogs down the lines.

Keep an organic garden plot with a variety of grasses, so your dog can forage for the greens. It instinctually is attracted to especially lemon grass. The grasses have natural anti-parasitics, a.k.a. dewormer.

When I go for a walk with my dog ​​in the meadows, in late autumn he picks and eats a few rose hips from the bush 🤣 and he loves chewing some mint leafs, barley grass

[@ocsweetputube]

That's awesome & good to know!!

[@ricksanchez3176]

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]

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!

When we had ducks, we used to add an egg to the dogs food. They loved it. They usually get any of our left over meals if it is okay for dogs. They love raw carrot especially when I am pealing them, the dogs line up to eat the carrot peel. Here in the UK they get fed on Harringtons kibble (wheat free as dog has allergy to wheat) along with tinned dog meat. If suitable for them, they also get any leftovers from our meals.

[@keithawhosoever5384]

My two Romanian rescues love raw meats , chicken wings... basically any raw meat . I'm cutting down on lidls/Aldi dry dog food , adding raw meat when I can along with carrots . They love dried rabbit ears , and dried sardines (Amazon's) , as well as tinned sardines. I was told they were three when I adopted them ....five years on and thankfully no health problems .

[@joefish4466]

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.

Kale also has a lot of nitrates. Bad for dogs with struvite crystals. What can we use to cure struvite crystals?

Do you add all those 10 ingredients together almost each meal or give doing ingredients done days and other ingredients another day?

Lol, this is healthy human food too! Our dog has a very expensive dog food, but also enlisted to do dishes, so he gets most of this (bar chicken liver) on a daily basis, in addition to his own supply of (human) tinned fish - such as salmon.

I need to share this. I have a oversized Black and Tan. She had an anal gland PROBLEM that despite vet visits every three months never healed. In frustration I treated it MYSELF... No info on that, using logic. Oral antibiotics were not the solution, yet the vet kept prescribing them along with a prescription fee and vet visit charge and the cost of the antibiotic from his practice. , I will say that after I treated Annie my way the source of the infection was gone. , I have been giving her a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin every morning on her kibble . It has been two years now with no more problems. Pumpkin worked wonders after a determined pet lover eliminated the source of recurring infection. Unfortunately Annie is still a bit overweight but we are working on that a tiny bit less food SLOWLY reducing her intake and getting her moving more. She is a real couch potato.

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.

So my dog is on a wet canned food but is still getting hard stools. No kibble at all. Can any of these suggestions you showed us in this video help soften his stools?

Dr. Jones I watched your video on pumpkin seeds for dogs. Will pumpkin seed oil capsules work the same as the raw seeds? I have some 500mg organic pumpkin seed oil capsules and was wondering if and how much would be safe for my 1yr old 5lb yorkie? Thanks for all your help.

Was wondering since you can do the egg daily but some of the other foods are only 2-3 times a week, would I still give my pup half an egg along with the chicken liver on those 2 days?

[@kafani12]

Can you explain the guarantee analysis on a dog food bag please

[@joannevelazquez1995]

Thank you for sharing this information

Hi... Super knowledge have few questions thought hope u can educate me Feeding half boiled egg daily to small breed is okay? Boiled pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin is ok? Feeding one meal kibbles and one meal as home cooked veggies ,eggs or chicken etc? Also the flax seed needs to be roasted and grinded in powder form ? Do we let dogs fast once a week if they dont want to eat food ?
