    Victor produces high energy/performance formulas…high fat. Orijen tundra is high protein but not high fat nor designed for dogs requiring big output of sustained energy…

    I’ve been feeding Purina One Lamb & Rice to my blue pitbull for about a month now. He was eating Purina One Chicken and Rice and we made the switch to the lamb and rice because a vet told us he may have a chicken allergy. Well his hotspots, rash on the white of his neck and chest area, and now something he didn’t do before but licking his paws raw has all gotten worse with the lamb and rice. There’s no wheat in the food, or atleast when I read the ingredients there was no mention of yeast. What else could be a problem? I feel awful for him because I know he’s suffering. He scratches and licks his paws all day and night. No fleas. No ticks. Baths every 7-8 days in summer and 3-4 weeks in winter.

    So my pitbull has pretty bad allergies. Hotspots and licks his paws raw. The two veterinarians I’ve taken him to were no help at all. One wanted me to pay 450$ for an allergy test, and they both sent me home with a medicated shampoo and prednisone. I feed him Purina One Lamb and Rice but it doesn’t say there’s any yeast in the food. Any ideas what could be causing this? He was on Purina One Chicken and Rice but I switched him over to see if maybe he had a chicken allergy but it actually got worse. He wasn’t licking his paws raw until switching him to lamb.

    Diamond/ Bully Max/ Victors/ Retriever/ Blue those are all good I favor bully max but they’re bodies are all different so your dog maybe more compatible with the ladder also it’s good to get a expensive and a cheap like a Purina and mix them that works really well and when I say really well you’d be surprised right now I uses bully max mixed with pedigree I’m thinking about doing a bully max mixed with victor’s next

    VICTOR Classic Hi-Pro Plus Formula Dry Dog Food Or Diamond Puppy Formula Dry Dog Food for a pitbull puppy ? Which bag has more protein?

  • @petshoptalk576
    @petshoptalk5763 жыл бұрын

    Definitely not diamond. Chicken by-product meal is the first ingredient on the Diamond Puppy. That is hardly any meat at all, if any. If I had to choose between two of them I guess I would pick the Victor since it seems to have more meat than diamond. Even though a bag may have a protein percentage on it you have to see where they're getting the protein percentage from is it from meat or is it from corn wheat soy or rice? You always want to see what the source is

    Nothing better than the pet store employee trying to sound like he has a clue about dog food. How many manufacturing plants were visited before shooting the video, also what were feeding trial results of each, how about evaluated digestible content percent based on real feeding trials? Any life cycle studies that back your data over the life of animals? Nope but looking at the bag magically makes it better,. Feed what you want but get your information from the facility making your pets food not a store employee

  • @petshoptalk576
    @petshoptalk5763 жыл бұрын

    1st I am not an employee I own this store. Secondly I was born into this business so the trials you speak of were taken by my customers who then relayed the information to me where I then in turn write these ingredients on a whiteboard and connect ingredients with other ingredients from other dog foods to find the culprit ingredients that are causing the problems. I have visited too dog food manufacturing facilities in my lifetime, this is only because most dog or pet food manufacturing facilities will not let anybody in. Victor dog food is one of them. This is usually because they're hiding gross things. Anyone that asks me which food they should feed their dog or cat the first thing from my mouth is a balanced raw diet. Looking at a bag does not make it magically better even though lies and fake numbers are magically printed on it based on your verbage I'm sure I could easily outwit you when it comes to talking about pet food. Whenever you're ready for debate just let me know son

  • @MrAlfisher3

    @@petshoptalk576 Sorry that you feel offended by my comment, but there are MILLIONS of videos online just like yours, but when you compare tangible data from real feeding trials, peer reviews that were done under controlled conditions, more often than not the "better" feed becomes a placebo. So if you have statistical data, as well as blood tests showing before & after the results of a dog that started out on a feed like Victors and switched to one like Orijen that can scientifically conclude your assessment to be valid I'd like to see it, otherwise I have to take it as propaganda which 90% of these vlogs are. Congrats on the feed store, I have a distribution service and pet food is a item we carry. But you and I know that business ownership does not equate to expertise, that's the equivalent to expecting a Used Car Salesman to be a master mechanic.

  • @petshoptalk576
    @petshoptalk5763 жыл бұрын

    Firstly I would say a balanced raw diet is the best thing for any dog. If that is not practical you want to find a kibble that has the most possible meat inclusion. Origen, Acana and Rawz dog and cat foods have the most meat that I am aware of. The percentages are as high as 90 percent. You should try to include as much meat possible even if it's leftover scraps, muscle meat is around 70% water so to keep your dogs liver healthy and to help prevent urinary tract infections you should try to include muscle meat as often as possible as well as the stomach also known as tripe along with organ meat for a balanced diet.
