From what I've learned, the first 5 ingredients is about 85% of the food. So, that, in addition to the salt divide is really helpful to me.

So carna4 is the best one?

[@TheEmodarkangel19]

@@martinjunior1206 Yes, I would say Carna4 is the absolute best food (besides homemade) you can get for your cat/dog. However I looked at several places & found the only place you can get it is off their website which means it's expensive. If you can't afford that I would get the next best thing. Of course consult your vet before switching foods.

[@noctilucent7396]

The reason it cost a lot is because it's actual food without fillers. Other dog foods are mostly filler and food that has been cheapened hurting its nutritional value

[@kangaroo4144]

I have tried Carna4 and for the price. In my opinion. You shouldn't have to add anything as a topper. To be honest. My dog hates it. Eats everthing around that food. So I wasted $150. I can't even drown in liver topper. To get her to eat it. From a Puppy I have fed her Origen. She eats it. Ya some days I add toppers. Still a lot cheaper than Carna4. Recently I tried Stella and Chewy's Raw Blend. My dog actally bumps her nose on the bag. To tell me she's hungry. I put the food in the bowl, no toppers. She inhales it. So we can try and stuff what we want. Down our animals throats. But if they won't eat it plain. Whats the point in buying it? So in short. I'll never buy Carna4 again. Cause my dog doesn't like it. Origen, I would buy for sure. My dog likes it. I have a very health and trim dog, because of their food. Stella and Chewy's Raw Blend? My dog loves it. Maybe I mix it, with the 1/2 bag of Carna4 I'm stuck with. Hopefully she'll eat it. I'd love to see dog food reviews. Maybe show dogs eating the products. That they are boasting about. Cause to me, that's the most important, imho. Funny fact. Every time I drive by the Origen factory. When I'm 1/4 mile away. My girl has her upper body out the truck window. Nose in the air and smiling.

[@noctilucent7396]

Carna4 is restoring my dogs fur with soft fur and his ears no longer have gunk in them, my dogs microbiome is waaaaaay better!!! Carna4 all the way I hope thry never cheapen it!!!

[@ellietobe]

When we brought home a tiny 12 week old puppy a few years ago she refused to eat any commercial pet “food.” I went searching online for information on pet food. The pet food corporations provide zero information about where they source their ingredients or how those ingredients are processed. I did finally find Susan’s website and found some other interesting sites. People should take note that over the past 50 years over 60% of industry in the US has changed from being owned by individual companies to being owned by mega corporations that own multiple entities of various types of industries. These huge corporations have a huge amount of influence on just about every aspect of our lives. Most importantly, they have been able to “buy” influence in all the major political parties as well as so many other influential entities. Money IS power. It is these “special interests” who pay the majority of the expenses for major political campaigns. Illegal? No. We have laws about campaign finance contributions but then there are also the “super pacs” that can be formed that are not effected by those laws. It’s a huge hoax on the American people. We have the appearance of fair elections but the fact it that these “special interests” have been telling us who we get to vote for over the past several decades. Government agencies have gotten so huge and out of control that it is now the agencies that make the rules rather than the elected officials that supposedly protect the people. The FDA is a major offender. It is the billion dollar pet FEED industry that tells the FDA what ingredients they will approve and how processing will take place. Pet food is actually classified as feed and you better know that the livestock that you consume is nothing like the livestock that Americans consumed 50 years ago. They are now confined in filthy buildings making antibiotics, hormones, and other “medications” necessary on a regular basis. Steroids are used to bulk up the animals and slow down certain diseases. Genetically modified grains (that are banned in most other civilized countries) are fed to the livestock instead of the grass that animals once consumed NATURALLY. All these chemicals and “medications” stay in the flesh of the livestock and we and our pets consume it. You will not find a wild animal with cancer or heart disease unless it has some source of human or pet feed. If your pet itches a lot and you cannot find the source....many of the antibiotics used on livestock cause allergic reactions in dogs. Those antibiotics, along with many of the other dangerous medications, remain in the flesh of the livestock and can effect those who consume it. The commercial “food” that pet owners feed their pets have had the natural nutritional value cooked out of it. But even before that these corporations use the lowest quality ingredients. Yes, those blueberries may be in there but those are the berries that were squashed and rotting and the human food companies could not salvage. The “meat” is actually the lowest quality parts of the animal that has sat long enough to be foul. Animals that died before slaughter and diseased animals are just a couple of the horrid things approved by the FDA for pet “feed.” Other low grade organic materials are also approved. This is just one of the reasons that the ingredients must be cooked at such high temperatures. There are high quantities of harmful bacteria in those ingredients. The scam on the American people and their pets goes on and on. If you took the time to read actual proven facts on Susan’s website: truthaboutpetfood.com you would hardly believe your eyes. There are other sites available as well but Susan has taken the time to attend the actual pet food association meetings with the FDA and has the firsthand information. I began cooking food for our little puppy. It turned out she knew what was best for her because that kibble that we had tried to feed her was garbage even though it was sold as a “high quality” pet food. The pet food industry’s number one concern is the bottom line that the board of directors see. They want “feed” that can be easily transported and that can sit on a shelf in a storehouse and in the store for months and even years. Most of those synthetic vitamins and minerals used to bump up the nutritional value of this over processed garbage are processed in China. Because vitamins and minerals are not considered actual food that fact does not have to be disclosed. Most human supplements sold in the US are the same deal. Processed in China. China has the lowest paid labor force in the world (with India and other third world countries not far behind) and can under bid any western service. Much of the frozen fish sold in the US is now processed by China out on barges way out in the ocean. (Think about the human rights disaster that is) China was able to under bid and put out of business a large percentage of American fish processing plants. Our pets, just like our people, are being slowly poisoned by these huge corporations that now control the food supply. You will not hear about this in the corporate owned media which is also controlled by these “powers that be.” Corporations that own pet food companies also own multiple other types of businesses. The American people walk around in an almost totally controlled environment. It is an environment made and controlled by those at the top of the corporate ladder.

[@emmahandy1512]

taste of the wild is a high quality dog food but states nowhere the welfare of their meat last time I checked so likely uses factory farmed chicken. You will find wild animals with cancer and heart disease but due to natural selection there isn't that many. I live in the uk not usa but we have pretty decent pet foods here and around europe. Have orijen/acana worked for you? They are the only good brand I know thats in the us, here we got yarrah, lilys kitchen, yora and bozita. www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/shopping-guide/dog-food talks over issues, I don't want to feed a vegan/vegetarian diet since I eat meat and I find thats a little unfair even though its more ethical.

I'm from Wisconsin and work for a pet store and I had the chance to visit the Stella and Chewey plant and let me tell you they are serious about their pet nutrition! They are so careful with their products they scan every package of food for metal contamination, they clean their machines daily, and they will tell you exactly where their ingredients come from if you ask! I highly recommend them if you're not trying to go the crazy expensive route! I will also add that Fromm has no form of customer care and used to have extremely shady business practices, they are working on it but don't be fooled!

[@joannam1284]

Thanks for this information! I used to feed my dog and cat Fromm and it was NOT worth the price in my opinion. Both of my pets gained a lot of weight on it. even if I cut their portions very small. And then they’d feel hungry all the time because the portions were so small! Maybe if you have an underweight animal I’d recommend it lol. They’ve eaten all kinds of different fresh food, canned, and kibble and nothing made them pack on the pounds like Fromm.

[@kb8622]

As he explained in the video if too much of the vitamin mix is put into a food (due to a manufacturer error) it could cause your pet to get extremely sick or die and you might not realize that the food is the cause until it's too late. It's the main reason a lot of people switched to high quality dog food or completely raw. If there is a lot of vitimans used in a food there is a greater chance of something or someone making a error with the amounts and percentages needed in all the food.This is why the less vitimans used in the food is better.

[@JPE_DRAEB]

@@kb8622 Well all kibble has to be heated up high (600 degrees) which kills most of the vitamins etc. So they have to go back and add more vitamins. The only way to prevent this is to feed the raw.

[@biscaynebayfishing]

I saw this video for the first time a few days ago, and I'm glad I did. My pup has been on Zignature dog food for a few years now and started off with the Salmon formula, and now she's on Kangaroo. It seems to me the formula has changed, because she's starting to scratch more and now has redness on her belly and under her arms and growing area. I don't give her any treats except for blue berries and her Joint treats from Glyde that contains shell fish. I'm taking her off Glyde to see if the shell fish is the problem and creating a yeast infection. All the vets want to do is give her pills that don't work like Apoquel. All Apoquel does is help stop the scratching, not fix the problem. I know this video is form 2019 and you mention that Orijen only has one added synthetic, (Zink). I'm looking for a new food for my pup, and don't have the time to make homemade food and considering Orijen. After further looking at their ingredients list, the list of synthetics is quite large compared to what you are claiming. Has this changed from when you first did this review? because this is a list of additives on the packaging from there original formula. , zinc proteinate, mixed tocopherols (preservative), vitamin E supplement, thiamine mononitrate, calcium pantothenate, copper proteinate, dried chicory root, turmeric, sarsaparilla root, althea root, rosehips, juniper berries, citric acid (preservative), rosemary extract, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Bifidobacterium animalis fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation product.

Knowing my dog is eatinG Safe healthy food is more important than The Convenicence of opening a can or bag & dumping some down for him.

I do supplement her food with raw human food, and after your video I'll be making sure she gets some raw veggies and fruit in her dinner bowel.

[@papasmurfsky]

Victor is good. ProPac Ultimates is ok as well.

[@BigGreen21]

I use Rachael Ray Nutrish Dish, Dogs love it and the ingredients are pretty solid. $26 for a 14lb bag I believe Last 2 30lb dogs about 2 weeks. Get it at wal-mart.

[@gsdmomb530]

Raw is actually cheaper. But with a premium food your dog should actually eat less.

[@tashat60]

@@gsdmomb530 Yes. We feed our dog premium and he does eat less. This is so true.

[@ivyrose779]

Tractor Supply’s store brand 4Health is good.

[@malcolmweekes5715]

I know this is an old video but any thoughts on the Nutrience dog food brand - it's made in Canada and passed the salt divider test lol

[@euphoriaorphan]

THANK YOU so much for clarifying which foods were THE best for my dogs. It always seemed like a mystery. Glad to know Orijen is the real deal. Aweseome. Please make more videos going in depth on the REAL nutrition of dog food and dog food brands. :) Subscribed.

[@annademo]

How about big box store brands like BJ's and Costco?

[@adelineng1959]

Rodney can you review the brand Carnilove?

[@KraljHD]

Adeline Ng Im from europe and very close to the place where carnilove is made and in my opinion brit petfoods (the mother company of carnilove) makes the best dog food on the market. I feed mine with brit care lamb, but carnilove is basically the same high quality ingredients but more meat.

[@purplepassion8467]

I feed my dog raw buy somethimes he eat kibble also,i buy him Carnilove and in my opinion is one of the best.

[@4RT0119]

Orijen and Carna4 are better than carnilove... just look at the ingredient quality

[@KraljHD]

Arturo Uribe What exactly does that say about quality? That it says “fresh” next to it? You know that “fresh” meat can be tainted with God knows what, and you still wouldnt know? Fresh meat is 300% less concentrated meat protein than specified meat meals. Its a win win for them, they can say its “fresh” on the label and offer dogs less than what they need. Because fresh meat has the same amount of protein as meat meals in orijens eyes.

[@michellelodeserto]

i am getting a golden doodle and i want to feed her carna 4 just food for dogs and a little bit of raw meat from pure bittes is that good?

[@yahairaperez3851]

Hi there My 3 year old shitzu does not like the orijen original blend at all Tried for 3 months to see id he would adjust and he would smell the bowl of food and not touch it. he would literally wait till the wee hours of the night to grab a few kernels. I thought I was making a good choice but not sure why he doesn't like it

[@PawsuasiveDogTeaching]

Well i will be looking for better dog food for my Ruby. We recently started the Gentle Giants dog food and for the most part I think its a decent dog food. It does not have corn or wheat in the top ingredients.

[@mary9312]

I am getting a four month old rescue that is currently being fed Purina puppy chow- so I know I have to switch him gradually but what is a healthy choice commercial kibble for puppies? side note he has severe flea allergy

[@oneweak8938]

Sadly, Orijen’s formula has changed, and seemingly not for the better. A lot of the goodness is now listed behind salt. Further, they no longer claim 15% fruits and vegetables on the label, presumably because they can’t.. nearly all fruits and vegetables are now listed behind salt, leaving me to question the complete nutritional value of this product. The Orijen puppy formula ingredient list as of February 2022 is now as follows: Chicken, turkey, turkey giblets (liver, heart, gizzard), flounder, whole mackerel, eggs, chicken liver, whole herring, dehydrated chicken, dehydrated turkey, dehydrated mackerel, dehydrated chicken liver, dehydrated egg, whole red lentils, whole pinto beans, whole peas, chicken fat, lentil fiber, pollock oil, whole green lentils, whole navy beans, natural chicken flavor, whole chickpeas, pea starch, chicken heart, SALT, whole pumpkin, whole butternut squash, collard greens, whole pears, whole apples, whole cranberries, dried kelp, zinc proteinate, mixed tocopherols (preservative), thiamine mononitrate, calcium pantothenate, vitamin E supplement, copper proteinate, dried chicory root, turmeric, sarsaparilla root, althea root, rosehips, juniper berries, citric acid (preservative), rosemary extract, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Bifidobacterium animalis fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation product. As you can see, it’s still a great kibble for protein. In my case, I may elect to continue with Orijen and supplement with raw fruits and veggies. It would be interesting to see a comparison video of the old formula to to new. Source: www.orijenpetfoods.com/en-US/dogs/dog-food/puppy/ds-ori-puppy.html

[@cherrysalvador5645]

So what is d best dog food,I prefer raw foods or home made foods...??

[@irThumper]

Why does it say "turmeric" across your finger at the beginning of the vid when you are holding the sign card...?

[@justcharlie6038]

Turmeric is amazing, maybe it's there so you'll go research it

[@janiceemory6800]

Carna4 scored high but what my concern would be is the “ FAVA BEANS” they use. They do a awesome job with their packaging, no synthetics and organic ingredients. I believe the dogs are not supposed to eat or be fed FAVA BEANS. I Home cook for my for babies all organic meats and vegetables they won’t touch raw even if I warm it up. I wanted to add this as a in between meals they get fed twice a day and I believe they should have something in between those two feedings. Does anyone have any feedback on Carna4??

[@michaelfrick3687]

Oh my! Your effort and research was brilliant! This is the information every dog lover needs to know! Thank you so much!

[@mikahundin]

Great video. The ending is abrupt and I could not find the scoring before the salt divider test. The FaceBook group does not seem to exist anymore either. Where may I find the results of this review? Thank you!

[@nungiceman]

Thanks for the info. Really learned something new today. There're things I didn't know and really appreciated for pointing them out. I've gone through 3 of the dry food on your list Formm, taste of the wild and orijin. Apart from Orijin, my dog really didn't like the rest of them. I'm buying her Aatu for a while and she seems to be ok with them. Would be great if you do a review on them.

[@nungiceman]

@Aleisha Ibbetson Hi 👋

[@lori5455]

Starting using Origen for my Akita Puppy year ago. Has thrived. Now I hear that 'all protein' diets can cause heart problems! Years ago we tried to get away from corn, then soya then beet pulp now carbs are being recommended?? Its difficult to know what is best. Dog has done great on Origen Large Puppy so I will put him on the adult kibble and carry on with what results show me.

[@stevendrubich9978]

I would love to see a review and comparison on kibble vs fresh cooked food such as open farm or home made.

[@jasone3962]

So which one is the best one does anybody know after watching this video is it carna4?

[@amyivettesantiago7309]

Rachel fusaro sent me 😊😊 thank you for the review!

[@baublesanddolls]

I’m confused what they’re talking about when they say the salt factor. What do they mean about ingredients listed after salt?

[@joanies6778]

Salt is a marker because they cannot have more than a certain percent of it in the ingredients, and anything listed after it is going to be 1% or less.

[@kit1587]

I'd like to see a review for Nulo, Open Farm, Ziwi Peak in the future :)

Love Nulo!

[@angiemartinez8655]

i feed my dog real meat and vegis. with kibble , i am useing zigniture, is carna 4 better? and does it have chicken, because i dont feed chicken to my dog

[@lolajoker]

None of these dog foods were/are formulated by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and none do feeding trails to see if the dogs are getting the nutrients from the food and thriving on it. Most have legumes which is being associated with diet-related Dilated Cardio Myopathy.

[@KraljHD]

Dont put legumes on a bad light, especially with new tests. New tests have shown that pet foods made in europe have no problems with bad legumes, only those in america and canada where testing is barely there.

[@ingridmyers2708]

I get what you're saying but most vets don't actually know that much about dog nutrition because they aren't taught it in veterinary school. I mean just look at the vet diets like Hills and Royal Canin. I watched those brands slowly kill many animals when I worked in the pet food industry, they're full of rice/corn/meat by-products and any improvement in symptoms people see is kind of a trick. For example, Hills has a food to help dogs with diarrhea (rice+corn usually cause it in dogs if they're not sick or ate something bad) so their anti-diarrhea food has rice, corn, and super high amounts of miscanthus grass to act as insoluble fiber to keep bowel movements inside of your dog for longer. Even though what was causing the diarrhea in the first place is still in the food, they just add in something to treat the symptom not the cause. I have a plethora of examples from those two brands alone, but VETS still prescribe them every day and charge people crazy amounts. And actually many of those brands work with animal nutritionists and there are legal requirements for nutritional content of dog food. The dilated cardio myopathy was primarily linked to grain-free diets but the actual study behind those headlines is biased and inaccurate if you look into it and read the paper. What it really showed was that breeds predisposed to dilated cardio myopathy are predisposed to it, nothing else really.

[@gsdmomb530]

Board certified veterinary NUTRITIONIST?????? I have yet to find vets who know about neutrition.

[@monacledeye]

@@ingridmyers2708 literally nothing you said is factual. Stop drinking the koolaid holy moly.

[@ingridmyers2708]

@@monacledeye ??? I worked in the industry, this is what I gathered from multiple studies, personal experience, and working with brand reps/nutritionists from top dog food brands. I will admit some of the statements I made about vets were a bit too sweeping (and maybe made it sound like I drank the kool-aid to you), but everything else is backed up by ingredient lists and known facts about a dog's digestive system (it is short, and they do not have the necessary enzymes to break down large amounts of carbs). It's not some big conspiracy that's baseless. The pet food industry is worth billions, of course there's going to be corruption and companies cutting corners.

[@sierrafird639]

dried Pediococcus acidilactici fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Bifidobacterium longum fermentation product, dried Bacillus coagulans fermentation product this is what comes after salt, im confused what are these i tried googling but don't understand it, are these bad for dogs?

I can't thank you enough! I saw the documentary Pet Fooled last year and I've been looking for a new food for cat ever since.

Try to feed raw food for your cats (Small Batch, Northwest Naturals, Primal). Dry food is the worst diet a kitty can be on. :(

[@big_panda170]

I need your help.... Is Acana wild coast good for my 2 years old Female Labrador ????

[@anamilk1783]

Acana has several confirmed dog deaths due to hearth failure (dilated cardiomyopathy) due to the lack of taurine in their dog food. Please if you feed Acana or any other dry dog food; give your dog taurine supplement. You can buy pure human grade taurine powder from amazon that includes a 500g scoop. The daily recommended dose is 500g per 40lbs (although taurine is considered safe at much higher dosages). You can add directly to dog food or mix with peanut butter, butter, ghee, yogurt, unsweetened apple sauce, tallow, or chicken stock

[@baldwind19]

Thank you, it has concerned me that so many pets are dying less than their ideal age. Eye opening review, never thought much about the packaging or the extras added other than first ingredients was meat.

[@SmallSmartDecicions]

Sooooo what is the best dog food?

[@joshd.209]

The best food for your dog is the food your dog does best on. If you spend $100 on Orijen and your dog has diarrhea, what good is that to your dogs health? Every dog is different and while these are good guidelines to choose a good food, you have to take each food on a case by case basis.

[@KraljHD]

Josh D. The reason why dogs have diarrhea on orijen is because orijen is too rich and most dogs cannot handle that. In my eyes both acana and orijen are terrible. Imagine yourself eating one egg, one tuna, one cooked chicken, one piece of red meat, and so on. You would get sick to the stomach from the amount of difference in food, same goes for dogs.

[@monacledeye]

@@KraljHD I actually disagree, I think Champion uses the "richness" excuse to get away with it and sell Acana. What is "too rich" anyways? It can't be too high in protein since Orijen copycats and Wysong Epigen with 60% protein don't cause these issues in dogs. In reality, they're severely lacking feeding trials, it's one of their biggest issues.

[@KraljHD]

M V I meant “too rich” as in too many protein sources, look at the later part of my comment. I fully agree with you that they use that as their selling point and in my opinion they are very overrated.

[@kevintunaley5079]

I feed my greyhound Orijen and he doesn't get diarrhea, Perhaps its due to what each breed needs as Orijen works with my greyhound perhaps with a different breed it is too rich.
