WHAT WE EAT IN A DAY | Dog Nutrition & Diet

[@AmyinOslo]

I really enjoyed this video. Our pup pack have been eating raw (human grade dehydrated and frozen) for almost 5 years now and the benefits have been endless on our end! One rescue went off all thyroid meds and was weaned off heart failure meds within a year and the others have just greatly benefited with their all around health. Mine are all seniors and boy has it really brought out the puppy in them. Note: I also have added supplements to their diet along with fruit and veggies and oils.

[@herkythecavalier]

Amy excellent! Thank you so much for the information! May I ask what supplements you use?

[@khogan7661]

i’m curious as well

[@milenanunes77]

Hi! My dog used to have so many tummy issues with kibble 😢 we tried various brands for sensitive stomachs. He was sooooo picky too!! Never wanted to eat , sometimes had to hand feed. I was scared to change his diet, but with the help of our amazing holistic vet I changed to raw🙂 and what a difference!!! No more tummy issues for a year now! He loves the food and he went from a strict diet to eating almost everything ❤️ I add fruit and veggies and some supplements. He eats eggs, sardines, cottage cheese, kefir. He has blood tests every six months and is doing great! Love your pups❤️

[@marjoriestevenson56]

My dogs don't like eating out of metal bowls. When I changed to plastic, they ate much better. Also, I give part of their meal in a bowl and part in a treat ball which makes it more fun for them. No more problems with getting them to eat. Love your videos. Keep them coming!

We have feed our cavies Canisource for the last 5 years. It is so true about the grass. Makes such a huge difference. Also the amount of tears and staining - hardly any at all. Also their poo will disintegrate closer like raw diet ( where on raw their poo will turn to dust within 2 days ) We love this dog food!!!! Also we add 1/2 cup hot water to the cani-source - let stand for 10 minutes softens it up real nice I feed our first cavi BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) / RAW for a number of year when I was a stay at home cavi mum, but when I went back to work and when we started camping, we switched to cani-souce. I would prefer to feed BARF or RAW, but the time and clean up takes a lot of time. Also we found a lot of resistance from vets and animal professionals. We only switched due to convenience and time management for us. We would not have switched if he had not found cani-source. We also tried the orygen for a bit, but found the protein % was too high for our cavi at the time.

[@herkythecavalier]

me4getz this is so super helpful, thank you! Why is the high protein percentage an issue for you?

[@me4getz]

The high protein was very unsettling for Maysin's tummy. He was having consistent loose stool / diarrhea and out vet and breeder thought it was due to the high protein, once we switched it was never a problem again

[@deborahschroeder5732]

What a helpful episode! Love all of your episodes. You have helped us very much prepare for our new addition. We just picked up our 9 week old Cavalier this past Friday. We are in love with him!

[@lieky811]

Our cavelier quickly did not eat any chunks as a puppy. We then gave raw meat (Carnibest). It is up within 5 seconds. She loves it and she has a beautiful coat, little feces and is super healthy. She will be 5 years old in December.

[@luciusmaximus1169]

My Labrador was on raw food he had nature's menu and did really well on it but did have to remember to get food out of freezer. It was cheaper than the food he's on now which is a dry kibble. He had raw to begin with because he is allergic to some foods such as wheat and beef so he was on raw chicken or turkey as well. He now has a hypoallergenic kibble called Burns and he has canned pilchards on top which helps his coat be super shiny.

[@herkythecavalier]

Thank you so much for the info!

[@luciusmaximus1169]

Herky The Cavalier your welcome 😁

[@deusimperator]

Orijen is the best dog food around ... mix of Orijen and raw. The got goat milk when they were pups

[@tracyn4015]

We have the same type of dog. We were spending so much money at the vet because of allergies and ear infections. He would get heat spots , raw area on stomach , between paws and ear infections were getting so bad they had to sedate him to clean out 😔 someone informed us about raw and their experience with their dogs. So we switch our baby to raw and since then he has had ZERO skin problems , skin allergies or ear infections. He loves eating it now.

[@rdstobbart]

You are great. Love the girls and the content. Needed this. Our little miss is a very fussy eater.

[@kiwisjpeg]

My dog is just like Milton sometimes she won’t eat unless hand feed 🤦‍♀️

[@herkythecavalier]

[@janetlewis7381]

"I eat everything." That's a Cav for ya! 💓

[@Purify123]

LOVE IT!!! My Cav was just like Herky! He always would catch flies & eat them (we don't have many flies but if there was one flying around he would get it).

[@bellamaria4991]

You have helped me soo much! My fam wants to get a calvier pup for Christmas so thank you🙃💗

[@lilapaolillostudent9108]

love Herky and Milton!!!🐕🐶

[@clementscanes6135]

You didn't mention where is the best place to purchase these bags of food from. I've never seen this product from in my pet store before. I'm in Ontario. Do you have to go on line. Thank you.

[@gorsneg]

if you love your dogs as it seems you do, please, do them a huge favor- feed them raw diet! it healthy, natural and tasty for any dog!!! there are tons of info on the net about raw feeding. It doesnt have to be expensive. I make my own mixtures and it cost us around $60 a month but makes my pooch happy, with a great coat and full of energy!please, please, read about raw feeding! your dogs are adorable and we wish you guys the best!

[@leonajones4702]

Thank you for resharing this.

[@WackiWorm]

Just bought some origin after watching this! Thanks !

[@sharonchurch9310]

Where can I get a hoodie like that for my cavalier?

[@Michiiiaa]

My dog is the pickiest ever when it comes to food, that's why he's raw fed. I fed him wet dog food at first but the only kind he liked gave him gave him diarrhea. Then, I tried to switch to a good kind of kibble. He wouldn't even touch his bowl and hand feeding only worked for about a week🙄😂 Now on raw, he's excited as can be when he gets his meals and jumps around my legs till I set down his bowl. It makes me incredibly happy to see him finally enjoy his food😍

[@herkythecavalier]

Mischella so glad! Thanks for sharing :)

[@elizalarkin8923]

I wonder if I can get this food in Australia

[@funwolves148]

I love your pups and your pups hoodies I wish my dog had that but my mom doesn’t allow me to buy stuff for my dog he is a Maltese and he is a male he also does inappropriate things

[@popsquirt9370]

Is Purina a good option that’s what our whippet eats but I don’t know if a cav eats the same

[@cheryljuliette5017]

So adorable! Great and thanks for all of your knowledge of their daily nutrition. We live in Atlanta where it can be extremely hot! Can you develop a video on your pups fur maintenance, and flea and tick prevention especially during the summer orvperhsps year round. Thanks in advance! #HerkyMilton 💕

[@RaeWadeRoars]

Obsessed with feeding my dogs raw and educating on raw

[@shaunnadolny9332]

Hello you are so amazing I really want a cavalier do you think that they are good with large breeds

[@laceyamy6734]

our dogs were fed raw for about a year because our labrador has a wheat allergy, however we changed to burns dry food which is natural and hypoallergenic because we like to take our dogs on holiday with us and we couldn't bring the raw food with us :) they love their new diet would highly recommend

[@herkythecavalier]

Laceyamy thank you so much for the info!

[@cosmojinxable]

Our Cavalier pup is actually due today, so I am binge watching all your videos to prepare! Great info! One question, do they get cold easily? I notice yours wear clothing quite a bit. I’m in Washington State. Thank you!

[@CommanderWiggins]

Everyone in the comments is proclaiming how great raw diets are, but I feel bad because it just wouldn't work for us. Our dog Phoebe hates healthy stuff like the diva she is, and refuses to eat most fruits and vegetables which are so important for raw diets. And prepackaged raw isn't an option either, she's a Golden Retriever and it's just not financially possible to feed a dog her size prepackaged raw. (We're talking about an 80 pound tank of a dog here, not the 65 pound breed standard) At least she does well on high quality kibble and wet food.

[@luciusmaximus1169]

Deku Kitty wow I've never heard of a picky golden retriever. I have a labrador retriever and he would eat anything the only time he got picky was when he wasn't feeling well and only ate fish for the day once he was on meds he bounced back. Our beagle can be a little picky trying new things but once hes tried it he will stop at nothing to get more!

[@CommanderWiggins]

Lucius Maximus She'll eat anything that isn't fruits or vegtables. Our other Golden loved them. Not her though!

[@alisonsedgwick2501]

My Cavalier whos 9 eats Royal Canin kibble with a small about of Harringtons wet ,she won't eat it dry & fed twice a day... raw would be no good for her she wont eat vegetables or fruit Cavaliers are different only you who knows them it's not always text book

[@joannam1284]

They are so beautiful here! Are they still eating the same? I ordered the canisource as it just became available in the USA and I was trying to find some video reviews of it.

[@tyasiawaddell5667]

Soo if you give the dehydrated raw. Do you give less kibbel. Also. Is one dog healthier for being smaller or bigger

[@paddipadou2013]

[@pinkfemme100]

The breed have problems with heart murmers. Our Bella did not have a problem with it or have any medication. The only problem we had later in her life were her Anal glands. Generally it was just the one side, but with medication it soon cleared up within a around a week. Bella did have meat but the vet put her on dry food after her first bout of Anal trouble which firststarted at around 7 y/o/ But she used to have a roast dinner every sunday when we had ours. Ours used to love her cup of tea three or four times a day.

My cavalier is obsessed with flies!!!

[@Lavenderrose73]

That's so cute, and I appreciate the feeding tips as I am looking at possibly taking in a Cavalier King Charles puppy or young adult hopefully before the end of summer. I've heard not so good things about pet food and about how I should be making my own, but I don't know how well I would keep up with that. I'll definitely look into that pet food you were talking about and I figure I might on occasion cook up some ground beef with some brown rice as my cleaning lady said someone feeds her dog. my biggest concern about it is that while I don't have to work a nine-to-five job, I do have a freelance job where I scan groceries for a shopping app so I need to go to different stores in my area and this would be my first time owning a dog. Also, I would only get one (ESA means no pet rent!) and I'm wondering how I could ensure that she fares well when I'm not home. Besides, I still have church on Sundays as well.

Herky and Milton are so cute! When I spoke to my vet, she told me to make sure the food she eats has some grains in it. She feels its better because of heart problems cavi's can get. What are your thoughts on this?

Do you have any opinion of Taste of the Wild (Salmon), or the Blue Buffalo puppy food?

[@scottishgirl1100]

Orijen is wayy to high in protein and fat for any small dog. I have a miniature schnauzer and they need low fat and low protein. i like to be around 23-25% protein and 11%-15% fat with added fish oil to food once a day

[@siennal7230]

I have a 9 week old cav she Dosent like eating

[@annmariegreene1445]

[@brookenewsom6695]

I feed raw and kibble! We have 9 Cavis and some are like Milton and others like Herky! I follow Dr. Judy Morgan and Dr. Karen Becker. I make Judy Morgan's puploaf recipe, but feed raw instead of cooked. I add garlic, brewer's yeast and turmeric and probiotics. I post a lot on my page about raw feeding and natural pet care! facebook.com/paintedblessingscavaliers Also, watch The Truth About Pet Cancer series! So much info about raw feeding!

I learned about the Raw Diet from the channel Simply Rox. She will tell you from an owner's stand point about the benefits of raw. If you want to learn more about it, look up Dr. Karen Becker with Mercola Health here on KZbin. She can explain it even better. I'd love to feed raw if I had a dog but it's really expensive.

Train of thought now from holistic view is cooked pumpkin is better because it is fibre. Rice turns to sugar when metabolized which is inflammatory.
