      That is so awesome! Are you using MCT oil?

    • @treasuretrovel3816
      @treasuretrovel3816 Рік тому

      Dogs do not need MCT oil to produce energy when eating a species appropriate, high protein, moderate to low fat diet. They produce the amount of glucose they need for daily metabolism via gluconeogenesis from protein. The major fats in a wolf diet are from wild ungulate prey so very low Medium Chain Fatty Acids. MCT oil blends contain mainly coconut oil and palm kernel oil, two very unnatural components of the ancestral, canid diet. Also, I should point out that Palm Kernel Oil results from environmentally destructive practices (like plantations of palm from slash and burn rain forest destruction) so that stuff definitely definitely not in line with your carbon footprint concerns with pet feeding. Not trying to be negative just interested in facts.@@HolisticVet

    I would not pre-cook and then pressure cook the meat and egg. This over-cooking depletes a lot of the B vitamins and the A, D, E, K in the yolk.. Overcooking the yolks also oxidizes the fatty acids. Skip the frying of the meat and then add the eggs at the very end to the hot mix which is more than enough cooking for them. I also think you have too high a veggie: meat ratio. No canid evolved to eat this much vegetation. But, all in all, great that you cook for your dogs and that you, as a veterinarian are promoting fresh food for dogs vs. kibble. That is a very rare thing among veterinarians who usually try to gaslight their clients into believing that they should be feeding Science Diet (one of the worst mixtures of toxic garbage anyone can feed their dog). I'll check out your nutrient powder.

      Hi there. That is a good point about lightly cooking. My recipes for cats add minimal carbs, but I do add them to my canine diets. They really don't need an entirely carnivorous diet as cats do, and we need to think about our carbon footprint when it comes to our pets as well. They can thrive on added anti-oxidant-rich veggies and healthy fiber as well. Thank you for your valuable insights!

    Hi - every "vet approved" video I have watched has a great recipe, however, they also promote their own supplement for the dog. Are these supplements really necessary if you're feeding a whole food ancestrally appropriate dog diet? We have a new almost 12 week old black Lab and want to feed her a natural whole diet. We don't want to keep her on the kibble that the breeder used (Diamond Naturals). Thanks in advance.

      Hello, the supplements provide our furry family the best nutrition possible. It is loaded with trace minerals, vitamins, calcium, and dehydrated organ meat. I developed this formula during the pet food recall in 2007 and started out with all raw organ meats. Eventually, I brought in grass-fed beef organ meat from New Zealand, which is easier for me to work with. The premix is made in a human-grade facility and all fit for human consumption. And I am a veterinarian :)

      This recipe was developed with the help of a PhD animal nutritionist who is a consultant for zoos worldwide. Cats are obligate carnivores. Dogs are facultative carnivores. You must adhere strictly to a carnivore diet with cats. Dogs can use other energy sources efficiently and be healthy. For the sake of our planet we have to feed pets what they need, and what is essential. If they can utilize other energy sources and their protein requirement is satisfied, why would we worsen their carbon footprint? We have to feed our pets for health while also being aware of decreasing their carbon footprint.

And why are you over cooking everything you just cooked all the minerals and nutrients out the food , and where is the organ meat like liver and hearts or gizzards ? This food is lacking everything that keeps your dog's diet balanced and nutritious, vegetables should be steamed or given raw and definitely not so much it should be just a add on to the meat, sweet potato can cause diabetes in dogs if given to much , I have been cooking dogfood for years and made a lot of mistakes in the beginning but you learn as you go and you should really discuss your cooking with a veterinarian , because this is not a healthy meal for a dog

      Hi Ramona. In my cookbook there are recipes for raw feeding, Instant Pot recipes, and crock pot recipes. Raw does not work for everyone. And certainly, providing options for those that prefer to cook are better than feeding processed commercial dog food. All premix nutrients are added when the recipe is cooled (after the meat and vegetables are cooked) so they are not heated (taurine, calcium, trace minerals, vitamins). I developed this formula during the pet food recall in 2007 and started out with all raw organ meats. Eventually, I brought in grass-fed beef organ meat from New Zealand, which is easier for me to work with. The premix is made in a human grade facility and all fit for human consumption.
