I fed my collie Costco brand dog food for the last 12 years of her life. She passed last year in her sleep at over 16 years of age. She got regular vet visits lots of exercise, and most of all love. I highly doubt that she would have made it much longer even if I would have raised her on expensive food.
😮
@@sodapopjamthe only problem is the ingredients I recommend iams for a budget option its alot healthier and real meat as first ingredient
@@sodapopjam yeah it sounds like it's good for yours but my Bluetick begale he is only 2 and does well on iams so we're planning to keep him on it
AAFCO doesn’t mean anything. His endorsement of AAFCO makes his opinion worthless. Do some research. AAFCO is run by representatives of the pet food industry. Therefore they set their own standards. That’s like the creator of this video rating it 5 starts because he is part of a review team.
man ur saying talk with ur vet..but vet is getting tons of bonus from animal food companies
same thing with doctor lol.
No one gets a bonus from pet food companies. That's false.
Rick Anon that's not true. Every vet tells you to feed your dog science labs dry food. Which is absolutely horrible food.
I dont care what your vet tells you. Just because they recommend something doesnt mean they get a kick back from it. Ive been a vet for 11 years and I never have received any financial bonus for selling royal canin.
PS. Science diet is store brand pet food. Hills Prescription diet is veterinary exclusive because it has to be prescribed. So you dont make any sense whatsoever, no vet tells anyone to feed science diet.
Rick Anon, Hill's Prescription Diet...Science Diet...doesnt matter. They both contain inferior ingredients. Does the science in the prescription diet work to treat the ailment its intended for? Of course....with inferior ingredients.
And Science Diet is not a "grocery brand". Grocery brands are labeled as such bc you can find them in grocery stores. I've never seen SD sold in a grocery store. Grocery brands are those like Pedigree, Ol Roy, Dog Chow. Grocers are beginning to carry better foods, but I've never seen SD. You have to go to a pet retailer for SD.
My advice for anyone with a healthy dog is to feed it the best quality food you can afford and that is found through lots of research. If your dog has an ongoing illness needing a special diet the best thing to do is find a holistic vet that can prescribe a diet using high quality ingredients and not just pushing a brand.
If someone doesn't want to invest the time to research what the best high quality diet would be for their dog then they can use the prescription food their vet recommends. It'll do the job.
The real issue here isn't whether or not prescription diets work or are legitimate, but whether they are the best option.... And indeed they are NOT.
My cat lived for 21 years eating meow mix ..... just saying
What😳
Jizz Wad.. You’re very lucky. Meow Mix ingredients for cats is about as bad as it gets. You obviously never looked into it. Wish I had my dog for 22 yrs.
Ikr my cat lived for 14 years eating 9lives then I switched to meow mix, she'd still be alive now but unfortunately she died in a house fire.
I had 2 cats that lived to be 20. They ate Purina Cat Chow and Friskies canned food.
That food almost killed my cats
so, how much is hill's paying you?
nytr l exactly... So tired of vets being paid off to blatantly shove a certain brand down our throats at the expense of our pets' health... All the "clinically proven", "100% real meat" etc labels don't really convince me... all they do is make me wonder why would that need to be on there? For me personally origin is the best dog food out there albeit a bit expensive but even if you think that's too much they also make acana which has 50% meats and 50% fruits and vegetables no wheat, corn, rice etc. I changed to acana after my dog's surgery and she's been thriving on it ever since...
so... the "vet" in this vid tells me to "ask a vet" which is exactly why I came to watch this "vet"... thanks, bro.
I just spent $53.89 on a bag of VICTOR Nutra Pro. My mind was already telling me not to spend all that damn money but went through it anyway. Never again will I spend such cash on food i personally don't think a dog should eat period. They can eat what we eat with no problems just don't go crazy on the portions. Home cooked meals way better than them rocks in a fancy bag any day.
AAFCO is a joke. It's funded by the large conglomerates that produce the largest lines of pet food on the market, such as Purina, Science Diet, Royal Canin, etc. To say that the 'AAFCO' seal of approval is what you want to see on your pet's bag of food is utterly ridiculous.
Amen! And AAFCO is public regulators operating under a private corporation. A lot of aspects of it are illegal… like charging citizens to engage in the rulemaking process, but it has to be challenged in court. Funnest fact of all. The regulators… most of them are beyond stupid. And I’m saying that with respect. Erin Bibb, George Ferguson, Stan Cook. I wouldn’t trust my kids around them. And regulators want to conduct themselves privately because honestly if this was all public, there’d be zero public truth. So they try their best to create illusions. “Look for aafco” and that’s it. HA! No thanks! I am not a stupid consumer !
Dont ask a vet actually😀 they will refer you to Royal Canin and Hills😃😃😃
1. Ask your puppy breeder what kind of food the puppy used to eat. And follow at least fir a month. Then you can switch to another brand or for a diet of your choice.
2. Carefully read all ingredients on the package. Preferably no corn, no weat, no cabbage or beans. They create alot of gas and indigestion.
3. Canadian brands are good but too heavy and pretty fatty for toy breeds. Dont be afraid to experiment with local manufacturers. They doing great job.
4. But be prepared to spend some money for testing different options. Before you ll get a best choice for your dog.
I have posted comments on other videos from this guy before. In part I agree that not every expensive brand is great, but in general, the more money you spend, the less crap is going to be in them. I have had cats for years and carbs are so not needed yet they are in the first 5 ingredients in over 80% of commercially name brands. Talk to your vet and find out what they believe is important. Read labels and find out besides the meat, added vitamins and minerals(usually necessary), what else is added in. THAT is where and what will hurt your pets.
I stick with diamond been using it for years with my pitbulls
Did you notice a change in diamond dog food in the last two years? I'm considering switching my older German Shepherd but saw about 2 years ago a lot of people started complaining that it even looked and smelled different.
My previous cat ate Purina and 9 Lives cat food for most of her life and lived to be 20. My current cat also ate supermarket cat food for most of his life. I had to switch him to wet food though, and currently the only wet food he will eat is made by Weruva and Fussie Cat.
Same here. I had a cat in the 80s and we fed him supermarket cat food. No big deal.
SepherStar you sicken me. animal abuse
but weruva and fussie cat is good stick to that
@@whiskeyneat97 i know this is 4 years old but how is feeding your cat animal abuse?
My 1 year old kitty is very active and slim. She's on the hill's science diet 1/2 cup a day divided up into two feedings per day. I haven't taken her to a vet yet because I adopted her from a shelter and Shes been fully examined spayed shots before she left.
Me too !! I'm looking for something cheaper tho
Never knew about the AAFCO stamp. Thank you for posting.
Thank You for "PET FOOLED" the documentary releasing in January 2017. Your preview on u-Tube looks amazing!
Is farmina cat food is good ? Because my doctor mentioned it
I just took over caring for a 14 year old pomeranian (owner passed)she came with Pedigree, but tonight I shared tuna with her and she ate a whole plateful and looks actually happy!!I think I won her over!
Nutritionally, is there a difference?can we switch?
one of the biggest indicators of weather or not your choice of food is good is to constantly look at the feces when your dog goes to the bathroom. My dog got very sick on regular meat and she had the runs for days. I fed her Purina One and she was too constipated on that formula. I went to Kibbles and Bits and she thrived on it but I knew that it wasn't very good food. I just picked up some Purina Dog Chow and if that's not right for her I'll try Pedigree. If I still can't get it right....well she thrives on Kibbles N Bits LOL.
My vet reccomends Purina One Chicken and rice I was at the vet yesterday and he said it's fine to feed my boy purina one chicken and rice and that it's healthy my.poor boy is on antibiotics and a drug to stop the diarreah he has had for a while so since my vet said it was ok I'm sticking with Purina One for now until he says otherwise
How is your dog doing now my dog is having the same problems as your dog. My vet said Purina also I tryed it and at first she did better but now her Diarrhea is worse than ever don't know if it's the antibiotic or the food. I just switched her to bill-Jack Digestive solutions food because it is easier to digest. They have a probiotic in a spray I'm trying that too.
He is 100% correct. Look for brands that follow WSAVA Global Guidelines...currently Purina, Hill's, Iams and Royal Canine (Eukanuba for dogs too) ONLY! Seriously, don't fall for the boutique brands rhetoric. Human grade meat is not better. By products are not evil....
Look up peer review papers by certified veterinarian nutritionists (they take extra training). NOT info from boutique brand/petstore trained "pet nutritionists"
My boxer is 15 and I feed him Ol' Roy from Wal-Mart
Lab 14 and. Boxer redhealer mix 16 years on olroy and both still kicking ..
@@stanfen yeah, and if you play Russian roulette, you'll be fine 5 out of 6 times. Ppl who try to use their individual bias against a full spectrum fact.
@@kaguscon live on a farm and ranch all my life .you really think these are only two dogs I've had. Funny, cause I can't remember a time in life I haven't had a dog running with me ..btw ..mine live in a feed truck ..no worries .you can't lock them up when in store ..they can open the dam door and get out anytime they want.. when I want a soi boys advice on how to feed my cattle horses and dogs and run this place. I'll keep you in mind ..
I know when I read the label of hills and Royal Canine I scratched my head, But if you look into the research centers for both they are amazing. I can say this, my dogs smell better and movements are better with Royal canine. We have switched our new Frenchie to Hills because she's really picky I'll update in a few months.
Please update
What are the chances of companies that produce junk food for people actually creating healthy food for pets? None….
You're a joke. A balanced raw diet is best for your dog if you can't afford that orijen is hands down the best dry dog food I have found.
I feed my dog 'k9 natural' & Ziwipeak. My dog once got cancer and slept all day before mass removal. After mass removal I feed her k9 natural & ziwipeak. She's also been more active and more healthier than before (according to the medical examination)
I feed my dog Dog Chow or Pedigree. However,I do notice a shinier coat with Pedigree. There is no reason to spend money on expensive foods since the dogs last the same amount of years.
‘the dogs last the same amount of years’ this part of your comment gives the impression that you think animals are disposable. Pedigree is one of the WORST brands you can feed your dog. Just look at the ingredients. GRAINS UPON GRAINS UPON GRAINS AND JUST PATHETIC ‘MEAT BY PRODUCTS’
I just lost my baby Rottweiler and my vet recommend Purina pro plan dog food is that good or is there something better...... Please help I don't wanna lose another 😭
I feed my baby girl Who is 8 months blue wilderness it's been great she's 8 months old and looks amazing I used to feed that Pedigree crap and she's an active breed a Chatahoula leopard and she barely had any energy now she is very energetic and Overall very healthy so from my stand point I would definitely recommend Blue wilderness but make sure you mix both of the foods up to about 14 days to avoid an upset stomach and diarrhea.
@@Hrgrvvsgirl thank you will try...
ramdom we lost cats cause purina couple ingredients from china
Brother it's 2 years now. How's ur doggy doin please reply
My now 83.3lbs 9 year old goldenddodle had his front paw amputated on May 28th about a week ago do to bone cancer (osteosarcoma) I switched his diet from kibble to Dr harveys paradigm food. How ever is costing me about $250 a month. I acording g to my math I have to buy about 25lbs of fresh meat (chicken,beef,turkey etc) to ad to Dr harveys food. This prescription kibble dog foods will be way cheaper but many people told me to stop giving kibble since it feeds cancer:(
No thanks Doc, I am not going to give even a cent to those corporations who don´t know and don´t care about my dog but just look for their profit, I will do it my self with human quality food I buy in the supermarket and I can choose quality myself and balance the diet following guidance from Vets who know about pets´nutrition. Good luck
Any suggestions why other dog food makes my dog sick? If we stick to a certain brand. And they do not get sick. But tried lots of it no use. Any suggestions why only a certain brand that they do not get sick to? Are dogs are 100% healthy on the product. We also prefer to stay on dry. Also we did try the dry food from other brands... Still the same results... But once we keep feeding them the original diet there sickness goes away...
Great videos buddy. Really informative.
Good evenig Doc.
Need your opinion
Can i start giving smart heart food to my 4 months old male lebra dog. Can i switch it from royal canin and start giving this food. Iam bit confused whether to use it or not . Requesting you to please advise the same. Thanks
A vet is a pet food expert like a doctor is a nutritionist. AAFCO means nothing, American standards are horrible. Thats like saying the FDA is good. (Im American btw) Buy Canadian pet food.
Great review,thanks for sharing this informative video.
very useful and informative video about the pro's in looking for super healthy pet food products.
super cool vid, ththanks man!
Not helpful. I think people should have affordable food for their pet and good quality. Too many animals going hungry and no one cares.
Him bragging about that stamp is like a doctor bragging about FDA approved stamp. You really think the FDA has your health in best interest? Just do your research look at dog food advisor .com and you will find what you need. Don’t listen to vets or UA-cam comments. Do the research yourself because it’ll be unbiased. My vet recommended iams without me asking so it’s whatever but I prefer orijen. But just keep affordability in mind as well.
I'm kinda mad b/c I've been feeding my dog pedigree puppy chow for 7months and I doesn't even have the AAFCO stamp. It didn't say that in their commercials
+HappyFace ok
Good advice. Thanks Doc!!
Awww, my short lived crush is over. How many nutritional courses did you take while you were in school? Why didn't you touch on feeding your pet according to what they are?
Dogs and cats are carnivores, they should be getting meat diets, not corn, potatoes, and rice. It doesn't matter if it says AFFCO, if it is not species appropriate, you may as well feed them the bottom of your shoe, they'll get the same amount of nutrition.
I implore you to read the Orijen White Papers before making any more videos about pet food. It's well known that vets get one course in nutrition while attending school, typically sponsored by Hills. About the worst thing that you can feed your pet is Hills. Dogs and cats need meat, not processed pet food.
Very true! I'm very picky on what goes into my pet tummies. But I do have one cat on SD CD food because he has pee pee issues and almost died from it.
Lannie90210 SD will kill him, not cure him. Your cat is a carnivore. Not a single vet, nor scientist will contest that cats are 100% carnivore. Look at the ingredients in that SD, and tell me how much carnivore do you see in there? Is it 100% meat/bones/organ? Then it's not going to make your cat any better.
I tried about 4-5 different brands before i found one that I liked and my dog would eat. I started with the cheap stuff which he loved, buy it gave him the shits. Finally settled on Newman's Own brand. Been about 2 years now and I have had no problems.
i feed my cat kit n kaboodle original by Purina, is that a good cat food to give my cat ?
i want to ask if eggs are good for dogs? should i feed them cooked or raw? my dog is a chochow. pls reply thanka
No
How about the most important deference between a cheap dog food and the more expensive dog food. That is the amount of clean up that is required when feeding the cheap dog food. The cheap food runs through the dogs like water!
Is blue buffalo bad because I am about to get a dog and don’t know what food to give him
AAFCO, may be a good starting point for what to look for, but also look at the ingredients and the brand's reputation. I would stay away from food that plainly say "meat" or "meat-by products" as you don't know what type of meat it could be (cow, pig, chicken, horse, even cat or dog meat). A brand's reputation also is important because would you risk feeding your pets or animals a brand who has recalls (voluntarily or not) every year?
My vet is all for raw food diet! She is an amazing vet! And my cat has VERY FEW hair balls!!!! Not like before ( and he was eating a high quality pet food) and my three dogs are thriving on raw!
Amazing
The ingredients are important!
Feed you animals like feed yourself. Don't be a hypocrite
is the Evo Turkey & Chicken brand good for cats ?
+Nurul Safina Defiantly one of the good brands.
Is pedigree bad as some reviews I’ve read?
Is Orijen regional Red good voor corgi?
You're wrong. The cheap junk like Purina, Old Roy and Pedigree contains gluten, wheat meal , soybean meal and meat by products. Those products will harm your dog. You should be looking for a dog food is grain free and don't contain meat by products.
"And most importantly, do not look at the ingredients"
Most mainstream vets know little to nothing about proper canine nutrition. What they know is the twisted, skewed and slanted nutritional info they've been taught that is backed by the big corporations like Purina, Mars, Hill's, etc. I'm pleased with the comments since it shows people are catching on to this nonsense. This video fits better on a late night infomercial than being labeled true care for the pets you are entrusted to look out for. I go to my vet for everything besides nutrition bc all they like to do is push Purina Rx formulas where the first ingredient is "meat by product meal". Now I wonder what kind of "meat" that could be?
LOL...yup just what the fancy $$$ brands want you to think. Untrue. Purina, Hill's, Iams and Royal Canine are by far the best foods you can feed. By-products does not mean low quality.
@@forfam1992 they are actually some of the worst. Bigger business usually equals lower quality as they are mass produced and all companies want is money. Smaller more ethical businesses as long as they are regulated are best as they source the best meat that’s human grade and pay attention to the ingredients they add. By products do equal lower quality as they aren’t human grade,they are they meat left over from the human meat industry
@@kartkeys Not true. Purina, Hill's, Iams and Royal Canine follow guidelines set by WSAVA Global Guidelines. They are science based foods, tested, and nutritionally complete. Of course the $$$ brands want you to believe the opposite. Look for certified veterinarian nutritionists for info, they take extra courses in their vet training. NOT "pet nutritionists" who are trained by boutique brands/pet stores. lol Human grade means nothing. Most of the boutique brands cannot properly answer to the WSAVA Global Guidelines
I use blue buffalo is that a good brand.
Great video
I don’t live in the USA and I just adopted a dog with some problems. The advice here is as bad as most kibble. Dude looks good, though. What's he eating?
Is the rachel ray brand good?
Hihi mr vet, I want to ask about pancreatitis my dog has it.. what can I do to help him?
I have a dog that scratches a lot. can anyone recommend any food That’s good for him?
Eliminate Chicken.
BS. He makes money to promote this food. He also make money to promote heart worm meds, probably several hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few years period for this 1 vet. Read Terriermans Blog about the billion dollar heart worm scam.
Great info- what I noticed though is that AAFCO is the acronym shown on the pet food bag, while the screen reads AFFCO 2:00 minutes in-
And it’s public regulators operating via private meetings. They’re so scared of the public they won’t even hold public meetings. Their gig would be up if regulations were made publicly!
Let's look at reality for a minute when your dogs fodd is mainly comprised of synthetic vitamins and minerals to make up for all the nutritional deficits in the main source of protein in the food. your feeding your dog a science experiment. Less ingredients equals better food equals healthier dogs with reduced risk of cancers and other health issues.
Thankyou, this helped so much :D
Thank u❤️
The breed of your dog alone what matters if you dont have a working breed its pointless to feed your dog top of the line high energy high performance dog feed you have to stick with food that's fit your dog life style. If your dog dont hunt complete or push his or her self to failer then you realy dont need it. An theres only a hand full of breeds that need food. Like german shepherd Belgian malinois the true american pitbull terrier dutch sheperd dog breeds that will work all day
LMAO why?? JUST WHY??? Why do individuals feel the need to wear scrubs and stethoscopes to look like doctors and vets. You need a lab jacket for your next vid??
Hopefully you have a video about ingredients that should not be in your pet's food or at least the first second or third ingredient like corn I see a lot of people buying pet food in the first ingredient is corn corn is not good for cats or dogs and unfortunately people will go with the cheapest food which is usually crappiest pun intended want proof look in your yard and or at the litter box
Is the AFCO stamp is in the US only?
What to look for in Europe? Thank you (:
I'm sorry nobody wants to help you for 3 years now! 😕
My cats are on a fresh food diet which is 100% meat with no cereal, veg or binding agents. It’s cheaper than most wet foods and for the life of me I don’t understand why dried foods are not either banned or banned from calling themselves 'complete foods'.
how do you do this? my cat is a fish lover and loves the smell of fish he meows like crazy when i cook a salmon and loves the fish type of wet cat food the most but when i try to give him straight fish he wont eat it no matter what. but if i have cereal he will drink my milk out of it i have to watch for that. he absolutely loves milk but i dont think its good for him from what ive heard so i dont give it to him. he seems quite healthy i give him blue cat food mixed with urinary hairball cat food. I give him a fancy feast can every other day or every day and little bit of greenies. i put hairball gel in his mouth and urinary gel in his mouth may every few weeks. ive been doing this same method for about 10 years hes 13 years old and seems healthy. h. doesnt have bathroom problems at all never has to go to the vet. i have the best vet but every time i take him theyre just like hes totally healthy. I have to always give him things for urinary and hairballs. i wouldnt know how to do a fresh raw food diet with him.
He didn't say anything about dogs and cats being carnivores, so look to make sure that meat is the main ingredient. He also didn't mention moisture, since cats especially get most of their water from the animals they kill when in the wild.
I read ingredients before I buy something
This is laughable, all the brands he showed are horrible and are nothing more then "Pet Food McDonalds", makes me wanna puke. I feed my furball Orijan cat food, she took to it right away and just inhaled it. She's never done that(and I've tried a variety of high quality foods lol). But Orijan is defiantly out there as one of the best dry foods.
im usint orijen too its amazing!!!!!!my little kittt loves it.i mean it lovess it
+Tiberius Nolan It also contains Taurine, which is very important and vital for kitty's health. They also offer freeze dried meat treats. Orijen is pricey but you're buying quality, not cheap ass shit. Like think about it, how'd you like to eat nothing but McDonalds for the rest of your life? you'd get very sick. Same holds true for your cat or dog. Sadly not many know properly nutrition for their pet.
+Jonathan Wiebe You're bashing organic foods with articles that actually support reasons why organic is better. The study from Stanford found that organic foods did in fact contain 30% less pesticides, and found less in childrens urines consuming the foods as a result. That is the food you buy at the market. You know how to get 100% pesticide free genius? Grow it yourself. GMO foods require new herbicides that are also being consumed, and if you live near the farms you're breathing it.
Do you know about Orijen food? Have you researched their brand in particular? The argument between Orijen Food, Merrick, Evo, Taste of the Wild, etc are not that they are "organic" or not, it's because the quality and preparation of the ingredients is such that they provide high nutrient content without losing quality in the processing. These foods are balanced, free from tons of fillers and substitutes, and are minimally processed which helps both with nutrient content and digestion.
jwathas what do you feed? What are some good dry dog food?
What about Purina One Chicken and rice
Most vet prescribes food that they have partnered with and if you look at the ingredient it doesnt even have real meat. Like starts with bone meal or chicken meal. I am sorry to say that pet world is a scam and this includes some vets as well.
I am sorry to say but the best thing you can do is research, read the ingredients and not just look for AFCO stamp. Just because there is a stamp does not mean it's a good quality food.
First 4 to 5 ingredients should be real meat and innards. There should be Taurine if it is cooked food.
I am disappointed that a vet made this vide..that's my opinion ..
Nothing is better than scientifically designed, fresh, wholesome food customized specifically for your unique dog! The food that mimics the nature! Check it out and join our Crusade!
Awesome!
My cat loves his Iams kibble
what is bakers like?
so no specific answer
He is fine!!!
I had to change my cats food because the company that owns it tests on animals (Palmolive-Colgate) I'm switching them to wellness now, the cans are 12c (aud) more than the other brand
Have any of you tried Avoderm?
Sponsored by AAFCO
Purina's website claims "At Purina, we're passionately committed to making pets' lives better". Recent news has cast doubt upon this statement.
The president of AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) recently admitted on camera that it is a commonly accepted practice for euthanized pets to be sent to rendering plants where their bodies are blended and cooked into a mixture known as "meat and bone meal" that is used in many dry pet foods.
Purina is the most commonly purchased low-cost brand of cat and dog food by low income pet owners who cannot afford to buy the more expensive high quality foods. It is also used in many rescues and shelters.
All of the following Purina dog foods contain meat and bone meal:
Purina Dog Chow, Alpo dry dog food, Purina Beneful, Purina Active Senior, Purina Fit & Trim, Purina Little Bites, Purina Healthy Morsels.
All of the following Purina cat foods contain meat and bone meal:
Purina Cat Chow, Friskies dry cat food.
Purina does not list the ingredients for its Deli-Cat and Kit & Kaboodle brand cat foods anywhere on the Internet.
Aside from the horror of your pet eating the processed remains of dead animals, there are more serious health risks. The phenobarbital used in euthanasia has been found to remain in significant amounts in meat processed from euthanized animals. Euthanized shelter pets are often sent to rendering plants with plastic flea collars and ID tags still attached, where they are shoved into the shredding machine and these chemicals and other items are processed into the resulting meat mixture that is used in pet food.
I don't believe they are putting Euthanized animals with collars and ID tags on and putting it in dog food that sounds ridiculous.
i feed my dog pure balance
My cats don’t like all the “better”, more expensive kibbles. If they like the cheaper kibbles , so be it.
This video is brought to you by Ol Roy dog food.
What about royal canine..???
Royal, Hill and Science Diet are all shit
This would be the man i'd want to marry.
A balance raw food is the best!
Can someone please just give me a name of a cat food that is actually good? This video is crap I know that much.
Buy powercat food..its the best cat food , not expensive High quality ... Powercat food is halal food, .. Power cat is the most famous and high quality cat food in the Philippines.... Majority if the cat owner in the Philippines prefer powercat.
Just talked.to.my vet today they reccomend Hill science
Purina and anything for a senior dog
Best dog food is what ever paid 'experts' say.
Do you have and email address? I have important questions about my pup?
I use the cheap kibble and bits when giving them their flea pills since they need to have a meal with the pill I know they will eat the kibble like lucky charms
That's not good

I was feeding my 2 month old Mini Chihuahua Pedigree for puppies and was told he wasn't getting all the nutrients he needed for growing, so i was switched over to Eukanuba for puppies small breed. Has anyone here tried it? I mean is it any good? I just got it today😕
Eukenuba is waaaaaay better than Pedigree, good choice!
EpicZA911 made by the same company
Eukenuba is pretty neutral overall. It's not really bad and it's not really the best either. Just look at your dog's stools and see if they are consistent. If the dog has watery stools or if it looks like it's hard for them to poop then it's time to move on to a different formula or brand. People can say they know the magic formula for dogs but each one is extremely different in what it can tolerate and what it can thrive on, even dogs of the same breed and even litter.
Here's how to look for good dog food:
You look at the back, Check the ingredients:
Try to Avoid grains, soy, and Corn.
All Dog foods have fillers, but no two fillers are alike.
You will find there are either fillers or binding fillers( it keeps the meats and whatnot together)
Any solid kibble will have binding fillers to keep it together so it won't crumble apart. That part of food is a part of life and is necessary.
Peas for example are excellent binding type fillers for dogs (and fish) they help the digestive tract and help avoid constipation. I would hope the number 1 filler is pea/similar binding filler. If it weren't I might consider avoiding that brand. Talk to your vet on what vegetables are good in a dogs diet and it will give you a good starting point on what to look out for in dog food.
Some brands use other good binding fillers that are uncommon that are just as good if not better, so don't let that stop you from choosing a just as good food for your dog if it does not include peas, if that makes sense.
Dog food companies avoid peas or other good fillers because corn, wheat, and soy is sooooo much cheaper.
DOGS ARE OMNIVORES, straight meat diet is not only unnatural but is unhealthy. Save the straight meat diets for cats. Cats NEED meats or they get sick if there isn't enough meat and too many fillers. If your food has excessive meats and little to no veggies, I would question it for dog consumption....
Lastly, MOST veterinary diets.... you know those ones at vet clinic offices on the shelves.... avoid them. They aren't that great.
I worked at a veterinary clinic for many years, they contract Deals with the clinic to exclusively for use in clinic at a great discount, in return for their loyalty and selling rights (my clinic rarely ever sold food because we didn't need to stoop so low as to make profits from dog food sales.... those companies didn't like us for it but oh well) The deal is exclusive for that clinic because it honestly is not that great and no one in their right mind would buy it otherwise if they were smart enough to read the ingredients and know what is in it and how much.
With that said Some can and are seriously needed and are good for very specific medical cases, but those are usually never sold to the public, it is through a vet prescription ONLY (diabetes, UTI, etc...) (hence why we on occasion would sell food.That food IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE FOR YOUR DOGS MEDICAL CARE, don't skip it). other than that, the regular perfectly normal dog vet stuff is garbage.
YOUR WELCOME!!!
Shining Sakura not all dog foods have fillers my dogs food dose not

Thank You Thank You Thank You, Doctor!! I knew it, it is all in selling pet owners something that isn't for the sheer need to make MORE $$$$ as many of know, pet owners spend a lot of $$$$ each year on their pets. My spoiled cat hates the more costly wet and dry food. She turns her nose UNTIL I open her preferred brand. I have three strays that live outside and they all get wet and dry food, 4x a day [morning, noon, early evening and late night], which is costly.
