When some of my friends heard what I fed my dogs, they thought I'm spoiling them because I fed them good quality meat and cooked them human food without salt. My kids always ask when they see food on the stove after I cook. " Are they human food or dog food?". I say you can eat that too, but add some salt. My husband told me to feed the dogs dry food because dry food has a lot of nutrients. I answered him I'm a mum, and I know what's best for my babies😅

Some veterinarians don't want your pet to be well, so they tell you to feed them this poison.

[@kerstin4516]

Oh my goodness! Americans have to do something about this grave issue. In Germany petfood companies are not allowed to use meat that isn't approved for human consumption. A customer of my father in law once wanted to have a cutting machine tested before buying it. So his company ordered a ton of meat to show the processing to the customer. Afterwards they didn't know what to do with the meat, so they asked a local petfood company if they want to have it for free. They said no, as they were not allowed to use meat of not certified origin. It ended up in a local animal shelter.

Once I realized what bad things were in human food, (allergic to lots), I started looking at ingredients of pet food so now cook my pup's meal and give raw food and make dog treats by hand, she is happier

[@sandrabeck8788]

Last time I heard, coyotes Fox and wolves are not eating up wheat and corn fields! At least I know the chicken Turkey pork or beef and veggies I feed my dogs is clean and I could eat it myself. It’s so easy to dump kibble in a bowl. You can’t have it both ways. You care for your dog/cat as one of your family, or you don’t.

[@BudzBunny422]

Majority of people aren't even eating healthy 😅 you expect them to cook their dogba meal 😂 trust me I understand where you're coming from. I cook my dog chicken and beef and deer during this season. My problem is the store bought chicken and beef might not be good because it processed

[@AlexiHolford]

I can barely take good care of myself. I do the best I can for my two dogs and three cats. I have spent thousands on vet bills and buy them the best food I can afford. But when it comes to cooking, I barely even cook for myself. It’s a good day when I wake up at a decent time, take a shower, brush my teeth, take my meds, take care of my pets and eat something. If I can stay awake all day, that is a very good day.

[@LG-jb9zs]

That laminated list of what Purina food to feed for what illness... I think it's unreal that a corporation is able to get into vet schools and have their foods be treated like MEDICINE when it's just dry crunchy starch nuggets. Every time I talk to someone who has a pet with a health issue (allergy, sensitivity, joint issue, digestive issue, kidney issue, etc) their vet will give them a bag of Hills, Purina, or Vet Diet WhateverTM Food... But can't tell them WHY the food is supposed to help. These vets can't even tell us what's in the food that makes it "special", and they'll push it even when they don't know the root cause of the health issue. (it's usually the food!)

It is absolutely terrible. Thank you for the vid.

i have been feeding a raw diet for bout 3 years,this includes at least 5 different proteins a week as well as eggs and oily fish at least 3 times a week all of my 4 dogs love it (2 chihuahuas 2 mini dachshunds)wish i had fed raw sooner to my previous dogs

[@raynalefevre2226]

I think we should feed our pets their natural raw meat diet like how we feed horses and other herbivorous livestock different types of hay.

[@Kholoured]

Agreed, I had a huge issue with my hard keeping TB. I was told time and again better grain better grain. It took more hay, mainly alfalfa for him and we lowered his grain in take by over 75%. His coat got better, hooves got better, skin,allergies were much less severe, and better behavior.

I lovebthis video, this needs to be a part of veterinary practice and made standard. I noticed a huge difference with my own dog. She was on kibble for years. I then switched her when I noticed she was slowing down and was having trouble running around like she used to. I had her on a raw diet for 4 yrs she got so much better. But sadly I had my mom take over her care and she switched her back to kibble and she has gone down hill fast inx3 yrs she has greyed considerably, gotten very obese, developed severe luxating patella issues, arthritis, anal glad issues, skin allergies, and has tarter build up that needs treatment every yr despite having hard chews to chew on to scrub thw tarter off... I've had to have a serious discussion w my vet that at age 15 this might be her time...

[@susancuello4073]

My chihuahua and Chihuahua poodle lived to almost 22 years. I bought dog food that was usually on sale.They also ate the food that I ate but I just just avoided giving them the onions I used when cooking.

[@Kuro_Reaper]

Living a long life is not always the same as living a fulfilled/healthy life. I am not saying your dogs were not healthy, as it is very possible for animals to live longer and be healthy! But in a lot of cases where dogs/cats reach really old ages they are suffering a lot from medical issues/age related diseases, which sometimes it would have been fairer to say goodbye instead of constantly medicating them just to get through another day. Lifespan and diet is of course connected, but it's not everything. If that was the case we would see humans who eat healthy outliving all unhealthy eating people. My nan is in her 80's, have been a heavy smoker for life, has no teeth because she lives on a diet of sugar and junk food. And yet there are people who never smoked and eat a much healthier diet and they pass much younger.

[@oscarpalacios7198]

[@pegschwalbach2500]

Hi there, I'm so glad to know that you know about this. How fast should I introduce the raw foods to my dogs? What do you feed your dog? Where do you get it? I have a puppy mill rescue who pulled out all his teeth. I need to take that into consideration for him. Do you have any ideas? I would be so grateful. Thank you in advance.

[@rbear4574]

@@pegschwalbach2500 I would introduce your dog or cat to raw food a little at a time. My dog won't eat green beans at all, she love raw veggies and cooked rice.If you will eat the meat you feed your pet then its OK.remember to make sure all food your pet is at room temp so not to up set their little tummy. For a snack I will give her butter and salt free popcorn. I pop it a air popper so its good for every body

I’ve owned 6 dogs and none of them have eaten vegetables. They eat around them or spit them out. They chew the odd blade of grass, but not much, I’ve never seen wolves or foxes eating vegetables.

[@kiwimema4300]

Unfortunately we are not chemists and our homes aren’t labs. Many vets have told me to feed my dogs (6 over 67 years) dry food, but I never have. What dog would choose that! Mine eat raw beef, a good quantity dry food is available with water all day and a raw chicken neck each evening for healthy teeth. The occasional raw egg for nice coat. It’s the chewy treats that confuse me, they say no bones, cooked or raw, so they have dried beef hide usually, saves my shoes which they naturally like.

[@savannahtropix615]

Warning : hides & "pet bones" CAN STICK in ur animals intestines - a 10K lesson for me !!!- my only dog treats after that are chicken meat & tuna cans & grass fed beef sticks ...

Personally I use pro dog raw and nutriment they are both a complete raw dog food diet that meet all nutritional standards all you need to do is thaw and feed my dogs have thrived on these foods for years they are fit and healthy with no health issues even my 12 year old is in great health.

[@argybargy2930]

We also use PRO DOG RAW. We've been using this company for 18months now after our then one Yr old Frenchie developed pancreatitis and bad allergy symptoms. The difference since switching from kibble to raw is night and day. He's in tip top health now. Interestingly he refused to eat the "hypoallergenic " kibble prescribed by our vet at the time. Smart boy!

[@AnjiDuff]

I swear by Ci dog food from Wales. All human A grade protein and choice of natural treats etc. I'm a vet nurse with a house crammed full of broken rescues and fosters. All get fresh veg, dark greens, Ci kibble and Lillys kitchen meat. Eggs and oils and supplements too. All have perfect pooh.

Putrid… processed food causes inflammation in humans but this is on another level of inflammation for dogs

[@IlSinistero]

There is much truth in this vid, but it’s sensationalized - yes, corn etc shouldn’t be in dog or cat food, but saying they might use road kill etc is simply not true, they produce such a lot of pet food, there is not enough road kill that it even would make sense to collect it etc, would cost too much. And if all pet food is that bad, why today it isn’t out of the ordinary that cats live 16 years or longer, while 30, 40 years ago 12y was already old for a cat.

[@For-Fox-Sake]

Agreed. They talk about how kibble companies use these diseased meats and roadkill, but that would only ever be the case with *really* poor quality kibbles. Here in the UK (or Europe in general), you're point blank not allowed to use any meats that don't come from a slaughtered source and/or don't pass inspection for human consumption under FEDIAF guidelines. In fact, there's a handful of companies that specifically only use ethically sourced and slaughtered meats as opposed to factory farmed animals.

[@naniraj5087]

At this point pet owners should stop feeding processed food and start feeding them real food. Its pretty obvious these companies dont give a damn. Whats compelling them to keep trying other brands and trying to find the perfect brand when u can makke them the best food urself?

[@For-Fox-Sake]

Because the main risk of making pet food yourself is an unbalanced diet. An unbalanced diet can have devastating effects - osteoporosis, stunted growth, seizures, to name just a few. Balancing a homemade diet is certainly possible, but it can be expensive and complicated.

[@kayfreschly6272]

My dog thinks nothing is as exciting as finding and eating deer poop after deer have been in our yard.

I was already irked by the music and even more so when they expose the manipulation of the pet stores. I do so want to find that perfect nutrition for my dog, but I am suspect when I know I'm being manipulated.

[@shawnastephens1536]

Fear mongering documentary. People need to chill out talk to your vet and ask them. My pets are on purina and they are doing well. Sometimes I'll add a egg, salmon as a topper. Purina has been around for over 100 years so they must be doing something right. These new boutique foods are a joke.
