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😅

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.

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.

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.

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

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

It is absolutely terrible. Thank you for the vid.

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.

One of my dogs used to go to the chicken coup every morning, take an egg and roll it down a concrete step to break and eat while warm. So cute 🥰

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...

Our mixed breed pack of 3 rescue dogs (55#, 65# & 75#). No matter what we feed, they finish in less than 2 minutes, regardless of what protein or carbs mix, or dry versus refrigerated meat source.

If my pup prefers my dinner instead of the vteranarians diets expensive food that tells me the sales pitch is wrong

My nephew prefers eating candy than vegetables. Therefore, the doctors are wrong.

I feed ground meat, eggs a good mineral mix and some veggies thats all. All my 7 Springers are super healthy.

I was feeding my dogs Beneful. Last week they both threw up. Within 24 hours my older baby passed away. I didn’t think it was the food but I threw it all away and bought Iams just in case. Our younger dog got better. I’m not going to be feeding her kibble anymore. I can’t prove it was the food, but she was fine and I don’t know what else it could have been.

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.

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!)

I saw that, how are they not asking “uhm professor? this is really biased, why are we hearing from purina what to feed instead of independent research? is that not the basis of legitimate research?” I don’t trust any research done on a company’s products done by the company and no legitimate scientist does either!

I'm just learning about this now and I'm absolutely shocked. I'll definitely be sticking to blue buffalo They use real deboned meat, not soy and corn 'protein'

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I have done an enormous amount of research on dog food brands and I can say that 98% of the feed, yes, feed we give to our dog is shear GARBAGE!!!

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

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

20:53 Talks about being manipulated by the lighting and music at the pet store. All the while, there's manipulative music in the background of this video. Huh? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Disconnect, y'all. 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.

51:23 Why is there a Russian flag in the scene of a court proceeding with a woman in a black robe? What is this supposed to represent?

the emotions are real and powerful. what a companion animal is worth is based on the asinine belief that non-human animals have less value than a human life, why do they? explain to me why my dog is less valuable emotionally than your kid. you actually can’t. there is a knee jerk reaction, I understand, but emotions aside you can’t logically state why my dog is less valuable. how about why is my dog valued similarly to my car or my microwave? they are worth far more to me than any appliance. I have literally not eaten to instead give my dog my food so they could eat. you can’t convince someone who does that out of love for their pet that their pet is the same as a toaster oven. btw, ceo’s greed is to blame. 3m was told their forever chemicals used in fire fighter foam (pfoa’s) caused rampant cancer and they decided to ignore it for DECADES to keep making profits. now 98% of humans have some level of pfoa’s and even polar bears do, no level of pfoa’s are considered safe and they CAUSE CANCER. ceo’s don’t care, the general public is ignorant, and as long as profits roll in ceo’s will keep making sure they get that updated yacht and new mansion at your expense and your pets expense. if they’ll do that to humans what do you think they’ll do to your pet?! and they even resort to flat out lies and misinformation and misleading information like the words used on labels to keep it that way. it’s disgusting

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.
