Tractor Supply Trip With A Canine Nutritionist: What’s Healthy, What’s Not

[@dangerousdiva6741]

Are you a board certified veterinary nutritionist?

[@drillsergeant623]

So where’s the nutritionist?

[@mrwolf31]

Hey Thank you for the video! I love your voice.

[@langstonrowe8243]

My vet said, no bones!!!

I subscribed! Thank you so much ! ✨✨✨✨✨ awesome video!!

[@jamesledbetter6107]

good video thank you.

[@williamwaldrop6684]

I've been breeding n raising dogs over 55years u can't beat pro plan purina

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Sure can. Better ingredients lead to healthier dogs, who have bigger litters, stronger puppies and fewer issues.

[@kevinrund3078]

How is science diet dog food?? Why aren't potatoes good for dogs? Thank you

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

SD is the worst. Dogs don’t need carbs in their diet. Companies add legumes, potatoes, corn, soy, to cut costs and they continue to raise the price per bag.

[@christopheraikman6594]

Taste of the Wild is the best

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Actually it’s one of the worst. It’s an expensive bag of beans. Look at the ingredients

[@TonyChin226]

This lady went to McDonald’s right after she told us don’t feed your dog anything from tractor supply.

[@carrieelizabeth3203]

Can't find that list on FB

[@BlackAdder1970]

Why don't veterinarians give you a list of dog foods and treat that are acceptable? I talked to my vet and they approved several of the foods on your don't feed your dogs lists. So who are we to believe?

[@youtubehatestruthtellers8065]

Because they can be bought off and they'll tell you anything

[@benjiemontano441]

Thanks for making videos like this. Very helpful!!

Yes!

[@rickrock6333]

Thank you for the info !! I’ve done my research and found , Midwestern dog food has recalls . The sports mix killed dogs . I’m terrified to feed my dogs anything from this company. The FDA reports are all on line .

[@Matthew_Bean]

So, what treats are actually good for your dog?

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

I have lists in my group and treats/chews videos

[@ther6256]

Did the Wholesome’s puppy food make the approved list?

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Unfortunately not because that brand had a recent recall

[@JustJocelynK]

What are your thoughts on 4Health food at Tractor Supply

[@Tyler-360]

Is 4health good ?

[@alexandrawhitelock6195]

I fed Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete for a high drive sport dog..,he did fabulously on it..,was surprised.

[@JPE_DRAEB]

What about Victor purpose Nura Pro that Tractor Supply carries?

[@The_Woof_Pack]

Thanks so much for posting this. I feed my dogs and puppies raw but I also foster pregnant and nursing dogs with puppies and puppies under 8 weeks. So I need a good kibble I can feed them and recommend to their new owners who aren't comfortable with raw feeding. I also use kibble for a treat during training sessions and I don't want to feed my babies garbage!

[@The_Woof_Pack]

I went and bought the Wholesome Fish Meal & Rice Formula since my tracker supply was out of the other one. And my dogs LOVED it! I had a nursing mama who's weight had dropped and she would only eat her kibble if another dog was around. But she loves this brand and ate so much of it! Then hours later she was full of energy and acted just like a puppy all silly and playful!! This video was a lifesaver! Thanks so much!!

[@TheShawnm28]

I have researched Acana dog food and it is supposed to be good quality food. Is that accurate ?

[@luvmyhousefull]

I just bought the Diamond Naturals Large Breed Lamb and Rice for my guys. We’ll do a slow transition and see how they do on it! (Feeding Nutrisource chicken and rice now).

[@reynaldomeade9990]

Blessings and hey, I started my dogo off with that but idk what happen if it was something else she ate or what, but I had to switch to hills science diet sensitive stomach and skin because of skin and stomach, looking to switch dog food but not sure which is more healthier more protein. Also I follow Dr Becker, what u think of her. God Bless

[@reynaldomeade9990]

Blessings and hey how's is that diamond natural food working for your dog.

[@KLTV2]

I’m in the process of switching from Victor Hi-Pro Plus to Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy Lamb & Rice. So far the transition is going good and the puppy is loving the 50/50 blend with no real issues thus far. I think the Victor is a good food with decent results but not quite as premium (natural) ingredients as the Diamond Naturals. I’m keeping a close eye on his stools and skin & coat.

[@Idk-tb9wl]

is 4health a good brand?

[@christophera4364]

One of the best you can get for the price point. You can get a big 45 pound bag for 50 bucks and it has decent ingredients.

[@apbt067]

That sport mix had a bad recall not long ago to.

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Correct. Not the variety I used to recommend but I took it off my recommendation list

[@MattTheTrucker]

Why can they just put whatever they want on packaging? Why do we let them? We does nobody protect unsuspecting consumers from blindly feeding their dog garbage? I hate this country

[@soshea5655]

Any thoughts on the victor brand kibble?

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

I reviewed it in my group. I don’t recommend it

[@ThatAnimalChannel]

so does 4health beef and rice not make your list of good tractor supply foods

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

I would have to look at the ingredients

[@angelaa.8179]

What do you recommend as a good small breed puppy food? Both a kibble & wet food

[@generalsoul1]

My blue pit has some kind of allergy. Vets haven’t been very helpful. He’s got hotspots, a couple patches on his skin with hair loss from biting and scratching himself all day and night and he’s licked his paws raw. I’ve tried him on 2 different kinds of purina (lamb & rice and true instinct venison) and he didn’t get better. With the lamb and rice purina he actually got worse. Also tried Victor hi pro and he didn’t get better or worse. I’m at a loss at this point. Two different vets were no help in the situation.

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Pm me on Facebook for a consultation

[@jaceyzatsepa]

Hi, I'm trying to find good treats for my goldendoodle and sheepadoodle. Do you have any recommendations?

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Yes! Go to my latest videos and look at the healthy treats videos. There will be a link to Momentum Carnivore Nutrition and use code ALI25

[@calvinnapier9977]

2 huge things left out in this video is that vast majority of the dog foods here are cooked at round 300° killing off most of the nutrients. Then most of vitamins added to these foods are synthetic and not natural the way they should be! Some of the foods Acana, Orijen, Stella Chewy and Carna4 to name just a few are some that don't over cook and use natural vitamins along with human grade food to make their dog food!

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

It wasn’t left out, it’s understood that if you feed processed food it will be over cooked (including the ones you listed). Additionally those foods are high carb, and some contain problematic ingredients like legumes and potatoes. If you want to feed real “human grade” food then you will need to make the food yourself from a complete and balanced recipe (which are free in my group). I absolutely recommend you look into it! ❤️👍

@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals From a pet nutritionist! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpXQo4qVe7CHppY

[@rolandb7539]

What you failed to mention when you were going through the dog food is, high carbs in addition to high protein is good and in fact NEEDED for sporting breeds who work. Victor Pet food i believe is the best and see a difference in my Service Dog.

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Those dogs do better on a higher protein higher fat diet, but yes they can eat high protein/high carb. My question is this...how many people shopping at your local tractor supply store do you think have a working breed? Additionally, why not feed a high quality sport food (for example sport dog food.com active whitefish) instead of pricey/middle of the road? There are many factors to consider. I tried victor on 10 dogs and had issues with 7 of the 10. For these reasons I don’t recommend it for the average pet.

[@joshuahedrick]

@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals I don't know how you can call Victor pricey and middle of the road when it's half the cost of sport dog food and the ingredient list is almost the same for the first 5-7 ingredients save potato. I don't want my dog eating potato so I will stick to victor

[@Americca_Is_Doomed]

@@joshuahedrick have to agree, i have currently 6 dogs all sport dogs nd all eat victor with no issues. I've fed victor to all my dogs since it's release in 2007 and have had nothing but great results. Sport dog food and victor are very similar depending on the formula with victor being cheaper. Both meal type protein to achieve their goals , both are good foods.

[@thehooksetter9025]

I too use victor I have a AKC White German Shepherd and victor is all I feed her never no problem. I appreciate what the lady said but she said pretty much don’t buy any of the dog food what’s my dog to eat

[@WareWolf831]

Can you recommend a kibble for small/medium dogs in the Diamond price range?? Are you approving all Diamond natural or just the large breed lamb??

[@dholiday9315]

Good video. Maybe add a disclaimer that there is not one good dog food for all breeds or all workloads for dogs. If you have a bulldog breed aside from an English, but to include Olde English Bulldogge, or a working breed the high carbs in Diamond are desirable. If your dog will not work, or is not a high metabolism/high energy outdoors type dog this could potentially cause issues correct.

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

While they can function on high carb they should ideally be fed a higher quality food with more protein and fat. Dogs can process carbs but nutritionally they don’t have a carb “requirement”

[@dholiday9315]

@@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals Correct it isn’t required, my point is a dog with a high workload needs a quality energy source. We take in sugars for this sometimes, dogs take in carbs and process them into sugars for energy. They don’t need them, but just boosting protein and fat in a working dog you will see them lose weight, lean out, or tire out faster in the field. YMMV just experience on my part. Disclaimer I feed diamond naturals, and supplement with natural foods and vitamins as well to round it out. I wasn’t trying to argue with what you said, just add that it’s a blanket statement when all dogs are not equal in their nutritional requirements based on what they do daily. Thank you for the video and response, always looking to expand perspective and knowledge.

[@ellisonfam5600]

If you find a dog treat that has a preservative, how do you know if it’s ok or not? Or should you stay away from all preservatives altogether?

[@PadFootPomsPoodlesPals]

Preservatives are not all bad. Ideally if the food or treat as good ingredients then an additional preservative is not bad

[@amyanderson9652]

It's kinda like adding lemon to homemade blueberry or strawberry jam..something small but ok to keep it from going yucky
