This is a much needed and appreciated eye opening video.
So where’s the nutritionist?
Looooved this video and it’s super helpful! Definitely changing EVERYTHING I’m feeding my dogs. Mind = blown
Thanks for making videos like this. Very helpful!!
Blessings and thank you much for the information. God Bless
Hey Thank you for the video! I love your voice.
I subscribed! Thank you so much ! ✨✨✨✨✨ awesome video!!
good video thank you.
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!

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!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Such a worry that there seems no governing body out there to protect our well loved dogs from eating rubbish.
Awesome.
I have purchased Science diet there, but threw it away when Ali learned how bad it is. Great video!!!

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??
Wow thank you! I didn't know that Waggin Train by Purina were the ones that were recalled. Yikes. I won't be feeding Purina anymore.

I have 3 dogs and might switch them Fromm dry to Diamond naturals small breed chicken and rice the purple bag.

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.
is diamonds puppy food bad? the purple bag..
I'm curious, do you ask permission to film or just walk in and start filming?. I'd looove to do this here but we don't have big pet stores, just small ones where you can have people listening or staff is always nearby. :/.

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.

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.

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.

Both meal type protein to achieve their goals , both are good foods.

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.
I thought all those smoked bones were bad for dogs as well. That’s what I was told. I heard only raw bones from the butcher, not cooked.
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.

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
2 жыл бұрын
@@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.

Why do you say no potatoes and legumes?
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! ❤️👍
