A Few Common Questions:
Does this apply to cats as well?
It appears there have been reports of cats having similar symptoms. In an abundance of caution, it may be worth swapping your cat's food if you wish since it appears to be a contaminated ingredient source.
Does a general brand name like "Purina" or "Hills" mean I should avoid their various lines (ex. Purina Pro or Hill's Science Diet)?
I believe that the use of a larger brand name like this indicates that multiple brands under that umbrella have been reported. In an abundance of caution, it may be worth swapping your pets' food if you wish since it appears to be a contaminated ingredient source.
Should I avoid treats from these brands?
In an abundance of caution, it may be worth swapping your pets' treats if you wish since it appears to be a contaminated ingredient source.
I will be sure to update if there are major developments, but if you are interested in following this matter more closely, I would highly recommend following Dr. Morgan's facebook page for additional updates and resources.
I have started making my dogs food at home. Any good recipes that you like? I've been basically doing one recipe but swap out the protein, and or veg I use. I also use different toppers so they don't get bored. My corgi mix loves blueberries, but my jack russel/pit mix hates them and tries to hide them... Found that out the hard way.
Dr. Judy Morgan, from whom Skylar got all this information, has some great dog food recipes. I've been making her "pup loaf" for 7 years now. I have cavaliers (so does Dr. Morgan) and they tend to have allergies and some skin issues. I haven't had any of those problems since I started making their food. Plus they love it, they are excited when I'm baking it. I make a double batch and freeze it in containers to last 2-3 days once thawed. A double batch makes enough to feed our 2 - 20# dogs for a little over a month.@@jeannettebarnes2193
Yes, it absolutely does apply to cats as well!!!
Avoid the same brands for all their cat food, dry, wet, treats and all products.
I stopped trusting the whole "industrialized" food industry both human and animal. We can't trust what they say because they sneak ingredients into our foods, nor do we really know where these ingredients are sourced (i.e. China and the like) where they don't bother to test extensively for toxins and other contaminates, or where regulations are of low standards. This is foods for animals, look at some of the things they let human eat! They are adding everything from toxic food coloring to bug base proteins. We only get to find out about some of those things. Yeah, I rather be an alarmist than blindly poisoning my dog and myself.
I'M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW, I HAVE 4 HEALTH FOR MY SERVICE DOG, I ALSO HAVE MERRICK, THEY WERE TO BE THE BEST! ARE YOU STATING ALL THESE YOU'VE LISTED ARE BAD?? WHAT ARE WE TO FEED OUR DOGS? I'VE BEEN FEEDING HIM PEOPLE FOOD, BUT DANG YOU CAN'T TRUST THAT EITHER ANYMORE. BUT HE HAS ALLERGIES, LEASTWISE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE VET'S. NOW I'M WONDERING. HE HAD SORES AROUND HIS EYE'S, I'M TALKING BLISTERY OPEN SORES, HE'S LOST HIS HAIR AROUND THEM ANDI DON'T KNOW IF IT'LL EVER GROW BACK. I'VE BEEN PUTTING ALOE VERA ON IT, THAT'S HELPED TREMENDOUSLY, BUT STILL NO HAIR, HE LOOKS LIKE A DANG RACOON. NO ITS NOT FUNNY. HELP? I'M NOT DONE WITH YOUR VIDEO.
Yup, the WEF has voiced how pets create a lot of carbon and we know what that means. Purina exposed themselves for what they are doing, homesteaders like myself with chickens eating Purina chicken feed found their chickens stopped laying eggs. Tractor Supply and Purina were the common thread confirmed by thousands of concerned homesteaders who figured it out through forums. We all left them and went with organic and local grain suppliers. As soon as their diet changed the eggs returned better than last. All these companies happen to be owned by huge corporations like Black Rock/ WEF affiliates.
Interesting and sickening to know. But not surprised. Thanks for sharing. I hope your livestock are doing well and healthy now
They're all, literally in bed together.
Boycott these woke CULLinary companies.
@@yaiburanakul8505I’m stealing that one! Sad but true!
Thank you for this information. The more I learn about WEF I'm convinced they are evil and have an agenda for all living things to rid and kill.
9 years ago I adopted a very old dog. He was found out on the street , so no one knew how old he was at the time of adoption. I think he was around 8 maybe even 9. He was severely abused, in horrible shape and had terrible teeth . He refused to eat dog food. I tied all types of dog food, including fresh and frozen, and he did not like any of it. He forced me to give him table food, and guess what, he lived 7 more years , never got sick or had cancer and died from old age from kidney failure . My new dog only eats people's food, and his treats are made from human food
Good man
factory dog food is all the left over parts from dead animals including any tumors they cut out of the dead cows, pigs or chickens. they throw some of those tumors into sausage and hamburger too because its all about making money
I hear you. I have three dogs - ages 12, 13, 13. Healthy because I have always cook them meals . . . kidney, liver, chicken hearts, carrots, yam, celeri, etc.
@@talmage_ur Good job! It really not that hard to cook dog food amd it is a lot cheaper than buying expensive US made or organic dog food because who knows what they really put in there . Most pet food , even if it said made in the USa , some of it always outsourced from somewhere and most likely it's from China. Another day I watch documentary on chinese food that made out of non food items - it is crazy ! They can make fake meat, fake eggs , fake butter and much luch more. They often use meat from animals that passed away ... amd who knows what and whose meat they are really using . If they can do this for human food , imagine what they can do for dog food !!
@@HELLWARS101 Also keep in mind that dog meat is also used. It's astounding how they treat dogs . . . not as pets but as food source. Another thing to know about fake food is how they process garlic . . . did you know that they bleach garlic buds and that's why they are so white. You'll also notice how garlic from China is less expensive than from other places. . . I stay away from Garlic coming from that country.
I've fed my dog table food, mostly meat and fat, for years. Although his eyes are cloudy, he's fit, at 16 years old
As a kid I remember our dogs were fed alot of what we ate, they loved it.
Yeah, I never fully understood why many vets back in the day were adamant about not feeding table food and insisting only processed dog food or specialty dog food. I think they didn't know better themselves. I never had show-dogs or purebreds. I had rescued mutts. When you live paycheck to paycheck you don't throw away food. We mixed ours with the dry dog foods when I was growing up, most times it went to the chickens. Now I stay away from certain grains base dog foods, while growing some things to mix in my dog's food myself, like squash and papaya, while being careful not to add too many scraps that are process foods or loaded with sodium or anything that is unhealthy for dogs. But one thing all dogs need is MEAT and FAT. People that think they can make dogs vegans shouldn't own a dog.
@@ZenThruAnger most American dogs are obese, they don’t need the fat. In general, when people are talking about ‘table scraps’ and ‘people food’ they know that most people only give their dogs the stuff they WON’T eat. That translates to chicken skins (almost entirely fat), the fatty line on steaks, etc. In addition, excess salt is significantly worse for dogs that it is for humans, and many spices are toxic to dogs.
So if you’re feeding fat scraps that have been salted and/or seasoned, at a minimum you could be contributing to obesity and heart problems, and you could possibly do even more harm.
If you’re feeding them ‘good’ people food without any salt or seasonings, there usually isn’t a problem as long as it isn’t so much that it upsets the nutritional balance in their diets.
Our foods are also poisoned. Things are horrible that all foods make us and animals sick and due.
Smart
Plus all the bone cancer 😢
There killing our pets and we are paying them billions to do it….
Cancer in general
Linking Vaccines To Joint Disease In Dogs | Dogs Naturally
I've noticed a huge rise in cancer in dogs over the last 3 years alone. What's changed besides their agenda to remove all our pets that's what! Do you think it's just a coincidence?! Think again.
😡
It's the vaccines, too. They do not need a rabies shot every year. Many of the vaccines are unnecessary. A Dr, Jones on YT will tell you which ones to pass on.
They are doing the same to us.
Medical Technologist. The pet food company does NOT need the entire bag or can of food to test it for pathogens or contamination. Mix it and send a sample, give a similar sample to your veterinarian, freeze the rest. Do NOT sign ANY form provided by the company forfeiting your right to sue. Submit a bill for veterinary care, threaten to sue if they do not pay it. With a deadline. Then give them the name of your lawyer at the end of the letter which indicates the date you submitted the sample of the contaminated food. Send it registered mail so they have to sign for it or decline it.
No, never speak about your intent to sue. The reason for this is if you tell them your intent to sue you may be giving them an edge by giving them more time to prepare for the lawsuit and that intent or certain wording may be held as evidence of a frivolous lawsuit which would also hurt your chances. Just talk to a lawyer before you speak to anyone about a lawsuit.
Lawyer. I agree with the other poster, NEVER threaten to sue. The company will just circle the wagons and you’ll get nowhere. Reality check: lawyers and litigation are very expensive. The potential recovery in cases like this is not large enough for most attorneys to take the case on a contingent fee basis; therefore, you will spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on attorney fees in excess of any possible award, unless you are part of a class action lawsuit, in which case the lawyers will make a nice fee as part of the recovery and each class member will receive a nominal sum.
Do not send them the bag. Put sine in a zip link and write the product number etc but keep the bag so you have the initial fir proof.
Some farmers discovered that the chicken feed from Purina stopped the chickens laying eggs ! They switched brands and they started laying eggs again !
My friend chickens stopped laying eggs from feeding Purina ❤
Yep and they did it all on purpose because egglands best had a huge free range chicken farm coming online.Its the _ _ _ _ _ _ business model deciet. Just like their other business banking.
Same. After I started fermenting it they started to lay consistently again
The feed is all gmo!! Chicken should be eating and foraging naturally, but instead they are on an assembly line eating a feed from all gmos.
does that word start with a j and end with a h?@@karatekid6026
I adopted a 5-year-old dog in 2020. Previous owner fed Acana and I continued (mixed with homemade). My dog began having blood in diarrhea in August last year (after 3 years of her adoption). We ran numerous tests, including blood stools which came back negative. Her health began to decline rapidly. Colonoscopy was done in October and we found out that she had colonic carcinoma and 10 inches of her large intestine were all carcinoma tissue. Impossible to remove. It was so difficult to say goodbye in such a short period of time. I still mourn and cry. I miss her. She was my dream dog.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with the world.
@magali.bazzano I'm so sorry for your loss... Until you meet again... ❤🙏
OH, bless you and your sweet dog.....I am so sorry, but you will see your doggie in heaven in bliss....
So sorry...my heart goes out to you...❤
This is what I think Chinese imports cause, because of the type of "preservative" they use in a lot of things. After the first outbreak several years back, they reduced the amount but didnt change the type of preservative. Trick will be in finding out where the pet food comes from. Actress Katherine Haigle is in the "safe" dog food business now. Look her brands up.
I am so sorry.
I think this is a good wake up call to realize that "pet food" can't be trusted. It's time to start feeding our pets REAL FOOD.
People food also wake up
unfortunately, not everyone can afford to fed their pets special food or make their pet's food themselves
Extremely ignorant to do that. Many common spices and herbs are toxic for pets such as onions, garlic, oregano and nutmeg. Salt is also very bad for dogs. So unless you cook bland food, don’t give it to them. Also sugar is bad too. Dogs need cleaner food than humans do as we are more so trash cans insensitive to most things.
We are on one tight income with 5 pets. It's 100% about priorities.@@nospoonfulofmayonnaiseforme
Yes our food supply is so tainted.@@judymeek5732
I’ve already decided to start making my pups food. But, think it’s just our pets food? They poison our food and water as well.
Jesus is coming. April 9, 2021, my vision went black for a quick moment, then I saw in gold letters - Thus saith the Lord. About four hours later, April 10,in my sleep I heard - Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 1235 AM, our area had a 3.1 eq.
Huh?@@shawnalLovesJesus
You are absolutely correct. Jesus said that unless the endtime days be cut short, no flesh would surrvive.
Grass fed meat and eggs...everything else is poison. And, with our destroyed & depleted soil, you'll still need to add magnesium. Our food supply is actually human self immolation.
Distill your water. For you and your pets.

When I got my cockapoo she refused 4kinds of kibble and fresh pet. I resorted to feeding her cooked meat, fish, eggs, cheese, assorted veggies and occasionally rice. She just started eating peaches. She is now 3 and the vet pronounced her perfect and the groomer always comments on how healthy her skin and coat is. I am so glad I “ listened “ to my pup.
Feed quality fresh meat veggies eggs fish no kibble it's ultra highly processed rubbish!
What about Cat foods?
I have had my Cats become sick from a feed store pet food called Wholesomes Chicken & Rice.
U are an awesome momma to your fur baby! This story warms my heart. Thnx 4 sharing.🫡🥰
That is interesting. I fed my feline boy's exclusive by Purina from a feed store for a long time. One of my boys passed away at 16 years old and my other boy who is seventeen refuses to eat that food now. They have always ate other food usually Prescription Diet.@naddinayazell1414
Why would you feed your dog peaches? Extremely high in fructose and absolutely not a dog species food! Also, vegetables and rice, are just fillers. Dogs are carnivores. They need meats of all kinds.
:( About two years ago, I put my dog was on very expensive perscription Hills Science Diet for kidney disease - he was doing quite well but began developing muscle weakness which I attributed to the kidney disease. Then, a few months later, he suddenly developed bloody diarrhea which the vet tried unsuccessfully to treat with antibiotics. I made the devastating decision to say goodbye to him because I didn't want him to keep suffering and end up dying a traumatic death alone. If his medical-grade food is what caused this, I would be even more devastated than I already am.
I had a little dachshund who lived for years eating kibble with no health issues. At the time I had switched her to Pedigree because of the issues with dogs dying from eating Beneful. Then around age 12 or 13 she had a bout of pancreatitis, colitis, and gastritis. That was only the beginning. Over the next several years she would have a bout of the same symptoms. After the first instance, the vet never said what it was but he would treat her with the same meds and the symptoms were always the same with bloody diarrhea and vomiting. He put her on Hills Prescription Diet Digestive Care after the first bout and she was on it until she died. I wonder now if the food is what caused it. Her last bout was so bad and I knew whenever I took her to the vet that afternoon that she wouldn't be coming back home. It about killed me to have to let the vet send her over the Rainbow Bridge. I felt like I lost my child. She would have ben 16 years old in 2 weeks. Now I no longer trust any kibble after what I'm finding out on the FB group about the dog foods. I have a 1 year old chi mix girl and I'm working right now to slowly transition her to healthier refrigerated and some home prepared foods.
My11 month old rescue was about to be put on Hills prescription. I declined after reading the ingredients and having read about feeding my dog human grade food I can fix myself. Unfortunately I see Blue Buffalo on the list.😠. We just started feeding about 1/2 BB and 1/2 my fresh mix of homemade .
Science diet is poison. Dogs shouldn't be eating corn meal . All disease begins in the gut.
Our Bronson has been on Prescription u/d food for the past 6 years. I am worried Bout him at 13. I have avoided making my own food for him due to his condition.
I had trouble with Hills Science diet too , I believe that my Beagles bone density problem was due to her Science diet.
Its been going on longer than you think. It has gotten worse.
My dog refuses all purina foods. So i gave it to others . Thought my dog was just bring picky.. those dogs wouldn't eat it either. This was a year ago. My dog when she first ate Purina (ive tried different purinas) she came down with lumps all over her body. Not itchy. Acted sick and stopped eating.
Yes...they want our dogs gone. Investigate where the meat in the dog comes from...a deep dive. I was so sooo disgusted.
I believe it has been going on longer too. My cat was sick around September- October of last year. Every time I gave him instinct. It was the freeze dried kind. It had gone rancid and I didn't notice until I stuck my nose in the bag. They told me I just used it too slow. Saying you only have two weeks to use it. I never seen that on the package so I just assumed they must have been right. Maybe I did have it open too long. But now I think they may have been covering up for themselves. Because they asked me to return the product to Petco.
When they were serious chemical fires from trains, a lot of the chemical smoke settled on cornfields, which were then harvested and deemed not fit for human consumption so they were sent to the pet food manufacturers for pennies on the dollar.
Great observation. This is a likely theory
bT field corn that develops black mold or aspergillis or spoils in silos or just drops on the ground contaminated with pesticides and insects is all still allowed to be used by animal feed processors.
@@robertmarmaduke9721 that's scary. Wow
My 3 year old pup had bloody stool several months ago. The emergency vet checked him and said prescribed an antibiotic. A month or so later I felt compelled to start making their food myself. I was still sprinkling in some dry food (Purina) but recently stopped totally with the Purina just a gut feeling. Thank you for this information.
Purina Puppy food almost killed our Peppe years ago with same symptoms due to causing inflammation of his gut/intestine. He got better and then we gave him the left overs as to not waste the food and then he got same horrible illness again. I had to throw away the food and cook for him & buy more expensive organic dog food.
Stella and chewys? Darn it
Once you watch "Pet Fooled" you'll never look at some kibble brands the same again
Our South African Mastiff lived till 13 and all he had to eat was raw food and some table scraps.
Blue buffalo here from Costco. My dog has been refusing at least one meal each day for a week. Yikes
Same, we just got new food to us, Blue Buffalo gave our dog lethargy, itchy skin and he stopped eating two days after we bought it. We can hear his tummy bubbling and making noises.
@@cangel201 I went out same day I posted and bought the nutrisource food and switched them over. They have been completely switched for a full week now. Everyone is eating. No more gurgles. No more wierd poops.
@@SalamattderWhat mind if food did you buy? Also do you recommend anything that’s not overly priced
@@coltonlevi4385 I got Nutrisource. So far all three of my dogs are eating normal schedule each day. Skin looks good. Normal bathroom trips. I’m happy.
Blue Buffalo is a hot food for high energy dogs. If you give it to calmer or even smaller dogs, it can cause itching, lack of appetite, hair loss, and gut discomfort. If you want to shop Costco choices I switched to Nutra Nugget most recently and previously Kirkland Specialty Salmon (Blue Bag). Both have been good for Yorkies and a Double Doodle. Good hair, good weight, like the food.
Oh my goodness! I lost 2 pets back to back…both with these symptoms. I’m curious if this has been ongoing issue…I lost one of them about 5-6 months ago, the other one close to a year ago . This truly breaks my heart
Was any of the food…Purina made? Maverick made my dog sick.
@@roxanne1092 yes, I originally had them on Pedigree for adults, then switched them over to Purina One (True Instincts) brand 😩 thinking I was switching to a healthier option
It breaks my heart for you. I am so sorry for your losses. I cannot afford to nor do I have the health to make my dogs food. We need to pray and put Love over their food. Think like Dr. Emoto's experiment.
@Roxanne, yes, several Purina brands, and the list may not yet be complete.
Its covered in this video.
Lost my dog last September. He was eating Taste of the Wild. I still have the bag of food, and another unopened bag bought from around the same time. I'm thinking about getting it tested
I have been feeding mine Farmina N&D from Italy they were on Blue Buffalo but our small local pet store advised to get off of Blue buffalo. So not surprised to see it on the list.
Farming is now being made in Serbia and people have been having the same types of problems. I purchased a bag two weeks ago to transition off of Hills SD , But I decided against it after people started complaining about it, even people that had already been feeding this. Serbia is not an EU country, and probably doesn’t have to follow EU regulations.
Maybe its by design by W EF. Too many animals on the earth like humans 🤔
Yeah, the World Economic Forum. They are a sick bunch. They should be fed insects and not our pets.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Too many dogs. They are important to humanity in so many ways, not the least of which is emotional support.
Good one ruffledfeathers
@@greatestever8976 It is. I bet you didn't think of it, or did you 👍🏻
Low grade Processed dog food is so toxic for your dog! I went to a dog food plant for work and it was rancid old food products and expired animal meats they were processing to extract the fats, protein and carbs, then they turned it into kibble. The place stunk so bad I would put vicks vapo rub in my face mask and it still stunk. I feed " Just for dogs" which is in the refrigerated section of petsmart and real healthy food along with high quality kibble with limited ingredients that are trustworthy. My dogs are much healthier now. Thank you for this video! (Also never feed any dogfood from China, it killed alot if animals years ago.)
This does not appear to be just low grade processed food. This includes high end as well. I've heard this could be coming from the company who supplies the vitamin spray that goes on the food
All the shit on her list is, expensive "food".
@@stephend9899 I feed raw and dehydrated raw plus whatever I eat...meat, some spinach plus bone broth that I make and organ meat.
And what dog doesn't love a bit of lactose and sugar free, fresh whipped, home made "puppachino" 🙂
Could you tell me the names of brands of real healthy food along with high quality kibble with limited ingredients that are trustworthy?
Recently my 6 year old dog passed away due to sever and strange seizures. I had been feeding him Acana food for 4 years. This is very concerning.
I had to say goodbye to my 8-year-old dog in October 2023. I had been feeding her Acana. Bloody stool. Diagnosis was colonic carcinoma.
Seizures?....How many vaccines has he had. Be careful.
Sadly, not everyone is able to afford to pay for "the List"
Thankfully, due to these vids, more people will be informed of what's happening.
Kudos to you❤
Sadly that's true, I know people these days that are eating gravy train thanks to our current administration.
I am just....reeling.
We just buried our baby, Dukey December 13th, 2023....
He had extreme bloody diarrhea, bloody vomit, not eating, lethargic, everything you mentioned....
Took him to 2 different Vets, both said "We don't know, guess he just has a bad stomach"
Then 4 weeks later after suffering, he cried all night, literal screams 😭 we rushed him to the Vet the moment they opened....
They said he was dying and said its best to put him down....
We have never been thru this, before....he was just a tiny, sweet, soft hearted baby that didn't deserve this.
We thought we were doing good feeding him Purina 😢
This better stop.... it's unfair to these babies who rely on us to take care of them 😠
I had to learn the hard way too. I'm sorry about your baby. Homeade for the rest of our dogs. Enough is enough.
I was feeding Taste of the Wild. My Boston has an enlarged heart and will see a dog cardiologist Friday. His life has been shortened! I was already researching how bad grain free food is and now this! I am so angry. Thank you for this information. If you hadn't researched and posted none of us pet owners would know.
Lost my dog last September. He was eating taste of the wild... I thought I had another 3-4 years at least with him.
My vet said the peas, pea protein powder and legumes are causing the heart issues. They’re seeing it quite frequently.
@@cathyann6835hydrolyzed protein is toxic.
Basically, grains help with the uptake of taurine. No grain means difficulty or little absorption which can lead to cardiac problems, particularly in larger breeds
Both of my little chihuahuas died of enlarged heart and had bad murmurs. SAME EXACT THING! I fed them 4Health!!!!
The other day, this guy's dog passed on after a life of about 17 Mos. He had a seizure. Noted the dog ate about 30 mind. earlier. He fed the dog 'pet food.'
O my gosh! Thank you! This may be the answer to what is wrong with my dog! We just paid $1300 for er care for my 14 year old dog who suddenly stopped eating. It was not long after our veterinarian prescribed Royal Caanan wet food and treats. We transitioned her food over about ten days. She was doing fine then refused to eat for four days. Even hand feeding chicken, she would just take a few bites. ER veterinary kept her and had an ultrasound done. They could not find anything except the mild kidney failure we knew about and the reason for changing food! Currently, I had been hand feeding her chicken and rice and shes now eating on her own.
Thanks for the information! I was just helping a customer earlier today switch her dogs off Acana… (I’m still bummed out that Acana and orijen got bought out by Mars!)
What did you suggest for her?
What!! Know that I really liked Orijen but my dog started to have problems with it so I had to get off of it but that was the best dog food for my dogs for a long long time.
My dog, Millie, has been eating "Taste of the Wild" dry dog food. I ran out of the last couple bags I bought for her in November 2023 and started her on a bag I bought January 15. The first coule days were fine on the new bag of food that I had started feeding her on January 29 then by February 1 she was only partially eating it and now she completely refuses to eat it as of February 6, 2024. I bought two bags at the time so I opened up the other bag and she refuses to eat that too. I am putting her fully on some home cooked food until I can get this sorted out. She is very hungry at the moment and otherwise seems fine. I am cooking her up some food right now.
Lost my dog last September. He was on taste of the wild. He went outside to sun bathe, and never woke back up.
Stay with homecooking if you can so you control the ingredients. Use a slow cooker and make big batches and freeze some. Lots of great recipes online.
Heartland Harvest gave my dogs projectile diarrhea and vomiting. Changed to retriever hi pro and it is gone
@@kathywilliamson1826 I talked to my vet again about dog food problems. She saod that large dog food companies in general have numerous recalls and advisories about their dog foods.

Any large company usually can't be trusted with human or pet health. When money is their sole reason to operate, one should realize they do not have our best interests at heart. It is naive to trust them.

Bloody diarrhea is definitely a Parvo symptom, bloody vomit is not a common symptom.
Blood in their stool is not always a parvo indication, it's an indication it could be but can be ruled out with testing at the vet.
They always test for that…done every test possible…two dogs, two different breeds, two totally different ages. Get sick every 3-6 weeks (blood out both ends and barely move). Spent alot of money to keep my dogs alive this past year…3 different vet opinions…don’t know how much more we can handle. Have to stay in pet hospital for multiple nights with IV, antibiotics, and 24/7 watch (doggie ICU). It’s expensive! Can’t just be dog food on our end…we’ve tried everything possible (I don’t say that lightly). Same symptoms every time. Complete medical mystery!
It’s one of the first things every vet has tested for with both of mine.
I don't believe for a second parvo is a thing. I think all these easy. scapegoat " viruses" are just poison cover ups. But of course they want to further poisoning by injecting all kinds of vaccines. Bottom line when it comes to our pets is they are a huge money maker for a bunch of huge heart less industries.
1/6/24 vet insisted on Hills OD kibble for pancreatitis. Scratching started immediately! Hot red belly lasted weeks. Pulling out hair until bleeding. Rubbing head on wall until skin came off, every day! Scabs under arms. Stopped all dry bag food 2/19/24. 2/27/24 all scratching stopped!!! No scratching 3 days now! Thanks for video!
I give my dog canned Hills Prescription for pancretitis ( I stopped the kibble). I also use/include organic white meat chicken, (cooked veggies)carrots, sweet potato, brocolli florets, green beans, greens and I found dehydrated chicken treats ( no additives, only chicken) made in Canada. I found using fiber mixed in the food helps bulk up dog's stools. Also a vitamin and probiotic daily. Dog has been doing well since his diagnosis of pancretitis a year and a half ago. I may try some dry Nutro food since she recommended it and see how he does. I need to not overdo the veggies and cause diareahea. I cut the chicken in chunks, boil it, drain meat, put chicken chunks on tray or plate in freezer. After chicken is frozen you can put in zip lock bags and the chicken won't stick together so you can take out what you need every day. Another dog I had was scratching from terrible yeast but it wasn't controlled by benedryl and ocassional cortizone injections as per vet. Sardines worked (fish oil/omega 3 fatty acids) My dog was40lbs and got 1/2 can sardines "in water" daily and a good food Nutro "Salmon and Sweetpotato" no grain. It helped a lot !
THATS BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 4 COMPANIES MAKING ALL BRANDS OF DOG FOOD
IS CHINA INVOLVED?
Blue Buffalo has had a number of recalls in the past.
My dog threw up after eating that trash food
The original owners sold out the brand.
It’s really not as pure and great as it used to be because the brand was sold. It’s just like any other crappy dehydrated dog food. That’s mostly corn now.
My cat ended up in the ICU after eating that garbage. I almost lost him.
Their entire production come from China!
Very reasoned video. Hopefully, whatever is going on is figured out soon. It may or may not be the food. A year ago, one of my cats started throwing up anything I fed her. Wet, dry, even fresh chicken. Her sister continued to eat the same food without incident. I fed her nothing but raw ground beef and a little dry food for about five weeks. She has been fine ever since. My cats have been on a mostly homemade diet ever since. All pets are different. What works for one, may not work for another. It is up to us to do what is best for our pets.
My dog got violently ill for months. I took her off Blue Buffalo and it stopped. It cost $1200 in vet bills.
Last year there was a train disaster in East Palestine Ohio. The crops were contaminated as well as the soil and water. I did a check to see if Diamond Naturals purchased any ingredients or manufactured in this area. I feel with all of the other disasters happening that contaminate soil and water we possibly have an answer to what is poisoning our pets. I will be making my dogs food - great recipes on Dr. Andrew Jones channel.
You know you may be onto something
Thank you, for the information, hon. I appreciate it. So does my Staffordshire.
Last year when I got my new dog (after not having one for several years) I found myself in the pet food store puzzling over which bagged food to buy. I chose a fairly expensive one due to the healthy sounding and transparently sourced ingredients. Now I’ve adopted my original dog’s litter-mate/brother. With an extra mouth to feed, I was thinking of compromising and adding a cheaper food to the expensive one. Like one I could pick up at the supermarket when I didn’t have time to go to the pet store. Your video has changed my mind.
I purchased “the list” you linked to. I am pleased that my first choice of the expensive food was one of the good ones and it is on the list. No more compromising and trying to save money. I’m fortunate to be in a position where I can afford to feed my pals quality food.
Great info TY much ! I saw that recent video with Dr Judy Morgan
Thank you so much for all the info! Switching to Nutrisource as I found a local supplier! Yay ❤
Thank You!
From my entire FAMILY, including the Maltee-Poo that’s my elderly Dad’s constant companion.
Our Dogs ARE our FAMILY!
ANY pet food company that causes harm to occur in ANY one of my FAMILY members….
WILL Suffer Severe Consequences to their bottom line.
Boycotts DO Work…
Especially when all pet owners participate.
Look at Bud Light and the boycott campaign waged against the brewer.
THANK YOU!!❤
Thank you soooo much!❤
Thanks so much for this, and especially for including a raw food option in your brand recommendations at the end. I’ve been feeding my girl Hill’s canned (sensitive stomach), but mostly Instinct (kibble w/freeze dried raw pieces, freeze dried raw toppers, & frozen raw chicken bites). She’s been on all of this for a while and I don’t see any physical issues if I don’t add in random treats, BUT recently she has been extra aggressive, more than I’ve ever seen her before.
Not saying it’s due to her food, but it’s good to know I might not be feeding what’s best for her, so I gotta look into a change. And a vet behaviorist. And how to clone myself so I can work like 4 jobs to afford all this. 😭😆
I'm so glad you did a video on this. I've been following this issue for weeks and have been a part of Kelly's group for at least a year.
We bought a bag of our usual kibble (Kirkland signature beef and sweet potato from Costco by diamond pet foods) which we mix with Steve’s raw beef. Dog first started to refuse this bag immediately. 3rd day threw up. 4th day vomiting and watery diarrhea. Put him on BRAT and he recovered in 2 days. When he started showing signs of illness I started searching the internet for any reports of food contamination and found nothing, but I sealed up and threw the remaining almost full bag in the garbage.
BRAT (Banana Rice Applesauce Toast)
Please take the extra 2 seconds to spell it out; this is serious and you shouldn't assume others are familiar with an abbreviation.
Problem is I feel vets are taking advantage of people with dogs and is becoming a real joke 🙂
Thank you for sharing this video!
😢 my sweet boy had to be put down 1/2/24. Tumor in stomach. He was eating purina and blue buffalo. Its the hardest thing to do. 😢RIP Copper💜🕊🐕🕊💜
😢so sorry for your loss
I have an English Bulldog. She has been having seizures for the past 3 months now. We feed her Taste of the wild. She is only 2 years old. The vet told us it could be the Heartworm/flee/tick treatment. We have stopped that particularly brand and still having seizures. I will do more research on these issues with the foods. Thank you for your video.
I don't know if this is helpful or not...I adopted a puppy mill shih-tzu as a puppy. When she was around 6 years old she began having seizures. We couldn't figure out what was wrong. I went to the local feed store and mentioned it and they suggested it might be alfalfa. I had adopted a rabbit and rabbits eat alfalfa. Our dog was eating the rabbit poop. I took the rabbit back to rescue as I had no way to keep the rabbit poop away from the dog. Once our dog quit eating the rabbit poop (alfalfa) she quit having seizures. Using alfalfa in dog food is widespread. I cooked her food from scratch after that. There may be other ingredients that are common in dog food that is causing seizures in your dog and gradual elimination of individual ingredients is almost impossible.
Are you using scented oils for your house,definitely will cause seizures in your pets
I had heard negative things about Purina beneful and only fed my shih tzu Blue or Eukanuba. When he started to have bloody stool, I looked at his treats and found some were Beneful. I warned my ex about what I'd heard and stopped feeding him them and the problem quickly went away fortunately. I currently feed my dogs Gentle Giant, but also feed them veggies (they love carrots and celery) and to get them to come back into the house after being let out I've found Arby's roast beef works like a charm. A small sandwich between two dogs lasts 2 days or 6 unsupervised trips to the back yard.
My dog died last year. I would give her only food from these companies. We were so careful with what we gave her. She had all the symptoms on the list before she died. 😢
Our dogs had these symptoms recently. We thought it was just us. Thank you!
Be sure to fill out the survey if you find the time, even if you feed a different food than the ones listed!
I lost one of my dogs, Dec24th, on Purina, he had these symptoms suddenly...I thought it was because of his old age...now I question. Since I have switched to Open Farm for my other 2 dogs and pray this is good for them.
Don’t blame your dogs passing away on Purina . This is fear mongering and hype created by a few people who have an agenda, greed. Dr Morgan is a scammer who is creating fear and anxiety for the sole purpose of directing people to her on line store saying “what I carry in my store is the only food I approve.” I expect a cease and desist letter with a threat of a lawsuit soon by the companies she has listed. Horrible person!
@@karenbee1898Feed your dogs real food instead of processed kibble. My dog eats sweet potatoes, rice, and chicken and has been for the past decade and a half.
You are not alone. At first I freaked out thinking someone tried to poison my beautiful dog but she refused the food. She literally in her own way told me I am not touching that $#it. She has been nursed back to health but it was rough going for about 3 days. Got rid of that food.
I have fed my 5 year old Standard Goldendoodle NutriSource since he was a puppy, and he has thrived on it. His digestive health has been great and he loves the food.
Our healthy 10 month old great princess died suddenly. Took several days to find him as he wondered off to die. Didn't think of food until raccon got into remaining foog's bag and we found it dead by bag. This was Purina complete.
Shocking, I'm so sorry. 😢
Oh my, how horrible
Thank you so much for this video. I have been following the fb groups but was waiting for your input. Last year we switched all our dogs to Fromm and we mix in canned stella and chewy. I am grateful that you had recommended fromm. I am currently trying to decide if we should switch the canned food. I hope you will keep us updated as this evolves. Thank you.
Oh, good. Then I'm happy I've been feeding Fromm's from after the first bag of free puppy food ( Royal Canin) which the breeder recommended ...!!!
I've been using Nutrasource for at least 10 years. My dog is a senior now and I switched to the senior food. I love Nutrasource and highly recommend it. My dog is a rescue, I got her at 10 weeks old. She has golden retriever in her, possibly spaniel and poodle, and who knows what else! She's 32 lbs. She's very sensitive to different foods and Nutrasource has been a perfect choice for her. Previous to using Nutrasource I used Orijen but quit because it upset her tummy. I use the Nutrasource canned food, too, for those special occasions.
This is why I feed my dog the same meats and frozen vegetables I myself eat. Human grade food is the end of the line... there is nothing safer. His Vet says "he eats better than me!" True. It's more cost effective but the beauty part is peace of mind. Make the switch and save your beloved dog's life.
How is that more cost-effective?
@@barbarat5729You're not saying what you feed your dog... if it came out of a factory or an American meat processing plant of human grade food. You apparently feed your dog either dry dog food or canned. That's why there's dead dog's because their owners by factory made dog food where anything goes. Shop and you'll see that one beef steak is cheaper and safer than any can dog food portion for portion and kibble dog food isn't worth mentioning. If you saw how kibbles is made you'd know.
I hope you realize that your dog has different nutritional needs than you do. If you’re feeding your dog the same as what you eat you are probably missing key nutrients. Make sure your dog is getting the organ meats that most humans don’t like and avoid. Liver, lungs, heart muscle, kidneys, etc… all are highly nutrient dense and have vitamins, aminos, and minerals not present in regular whole muscle.
Feeding your pet a whole food diet is great if you can afford it and have the knowledge to ensure they are getting all of the right vitamins, minerals, and aminos. Without the right balance you can do just as much harm as buying cheap processed foods.
@@jasonmelby6221 Off Topic.You can feed your dog what comes down a conveyor belt, but not me. And he gets a complete and well rounded diet. It's not even wise to say I should give my dog liver, lung, heart muscle, kidneys etc. simply because I won't eat that stuff... he's been getting these and more all along. I've had dogs more since I was 4 and have plenty of dog keepers I speak with every day on our walks. I don't need an education on dog nutrition.
@@oldmanjoe6808 no need to get so offended, you may be an exception, but it is naive to believe most people understand dog nutrition and without significant research it’s not hard to unintentionally cause harm to our beloved pets. There is a lot of misinformation in the market and ingredient labels are set up to be misleading.
I just went back to making homemade food for my dogs as nothing feels safe right now. Switched from Purina Pro Plan as it started making my dogs ill last year and went to Victor, dogs started refusing food… found out there was a recall… switched to Pure Balance Salmon, one of my dogs got extremely ill and I stopped feeding it immediately. Too many issues in a short period of time and feeling like a repeat of the menu foods situation all over again 😢
Peas, beans, pea starch, legumes, potatoes and sweet potatoes have replaced the grains as the carbohydrate in most dog foods. These block the function of taurine. Taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy
Aldi has chicken quarters in a 10 lb bag for around $5-$6. My dog likes this best.
Thank you for sharing ❤
I live in a city that has really bad water. High amounts of carcinogens. My dogs drink only good quality bottled water. Please check out the quality of the water in your area.
Great advice. A lot of male cats are developing urinary blockages, I attribute this to bad water and feeding them dry food. Cats ideally should get their moisture and hydration from their food, they should never be fed kibble. I distill my water and all my pets love it and are thriving.
I agreed with kibble from Science- Diet it gave our Golden Retriever diarrhea. Once we switched back to wet food his diarrhea stopped. Puppy Chow did the same to him and made him so bloated he could barely walk. Science Diet was recommended by our dog doctor and vet. Can't belive everything the vet and doctor advised. We're planing homemade food for him.i feel kibble us dangerous for pups I don't know for adult dogs since our is only 9 weeks.
This same thing happened back in 2008, 2009, somewhere around there...if this goes the same way, it will eventually spread beyond Purina. It wound up being a supplier which the vet in your story touches on. I was a practicing CVT at the time and I remember that it started with a few brands and by the time they tracked it back to the supplier it had encompasses most pet food brands ALL going through the same supplier. NONE of the pet food companies pulled their food pre-emptively. Every single one waited until reports of dogs getting sick from their food became plentiful, even after they should have known their food was likely contaminated. This went on for months and implicated most major manufacturers. I will say there were two brands that I know for sure we're not involved back then, and because I was in the industry, I dug deep into both brands and was assured that they would not be involved in a mess like this because of the way they source their ingredients/ make their food. However, one was Royal Canin and it is on the list this time 🤔😡 The other is likely still a good one though 1. Bil-Jac: It is a weird little dog food brand made in America, completely. It is made in small batches and it looks more like rabbit pellets than dog food. They have it at Pets Mart, and I talked to them directly during the last dog food crisis and they said they only source from here in America and they have personal relationships 2ith all their suppliers. The downside of Bil-Jac is that it is made in relatively small batches and they don't have the ability to scale up to mass production (which is why it is likely safe) but that means it can't support a massive uptick in customers. Still, my PetsMart always had a few bags in stock because Bil-Jac is more of a "feed store" or farm supply type brand and few average consumers know it even exists. The second caveat is that Bil-Jac is low grain, and it is soft-cooked, not hard-baked. Both of those are good things for digestibility and nutrition, and that is why I was feeding this obscure little brand BUT that makes for a soft rabbit pellet type kibble that is not as shelf-stable as most commercial dry foods. You can't store it in the heat , etc.
Thank you for keeping us informed!
I've fed Doamond high Energy for years. My dogs never blew their hsir cost. When we saw what did performance wise on the show thats all we feed. Puppy, lactating, and stud dogs.❤
I have 3 dogs who all were throwing up, diarrhea 2 of them had muscle weakness, all 3 of them refused food. My older doxie had a horrible seizure and had to be put to sleep 😢I took all of the dog food back to the store to be refunded. I fed them Purina One plus small breed.
I have same thing going on with my dog on a bunch of medication
I have been following this along , we are new pet parents , our dog was the chicken chow when we adopted her and we had switched over to a lamb recipe but she had so much itching so we put her back on what she was eating from shelter till she had what i think was a seizure, she was alseep she was shaking and breathing odd i woke her up but she wasnt their like and her eyes rolled it took a bit to get her back scared me so bad . Shes our first dog . My mom told me about the group on fb . So we quit the chow and shes on homemade now . Shes doing so much better and hasnt had another one .
Most dogs are allergic to chicken including their eggs. Google it.
A lot of dogs have issues with lamb.
Are you using scented oils to make your house smell good,really effects pets,especially tree tea is fatal to dogs.
Want to thank you for your easy to understand and follow updates. Researching now for a cat food. I already cook for my small dog but do feed 2 outdoor cats that call my garage home. Yikes! I had chosen 4Health for their dry food (water added) along with canned.
Thank you also for your nonjudgmental advice & encouragement! Ok, off to find cat food. Small town here so I know it’s going to end up driving a distance or online ordering.
Thank you for this video🙏
I'm glad you put Fromms on that list because we've been feeding our dogo per the advisement of our breeder that food since he was a pup.
I switched to Fromms many years ago my GSD’s love it and I believe it’s reasonably priced as well
I use fromm now for about 5 yrs and thankful i haven’t seen them on recalls before
So Fromms was on the list? Or not?@@Drew-oh7fr
They are?
Just got the word from my daughter that her dog got really sick, out of the blue and they had to put him down. RIP Zed. DC
So sorry to hear this, deecee. 😢
Thank you SO much!!! I’ve had my suspicion, now confirmed. Can’t thank you enough. Will be making her food from now on! 🤬🤬🤬
Thanks for the info❤😊
The problems can come from suppliers as well I would think. I just don’t understand - are they not mandated to test after processing and before. Shipment? I had a dog who suffered from high vitamin D but I really don’t know how something like that is missed especially if they say they test the ingredients. We need better regulations.
First Mate user here and have been super happy with this product.
Me too! I buy the duck with pumpkin
Great information thank you. I usually switch between Fromm and BB but only feeding Fromm for now.
Thank you ❤
My border collie mix and maltipoo was having bloody stools clear back in July from Purina Dogfood. I ended up having to making them their own bland food for a couple weeks until their gastrointestinal tract healed then switched to Nature’s Recipe they’ve been doing great! Never changing to anything else plus their skin issues disappeared as well.
This is so helpful to send to people like my mom, who is trying to feed better kibble so just switched to Orijen. I told her about the Mars thing, but she wasn’t super worried. This video is helpful so she can see why the ingredient changes do matter. She’s getting Nature’s Logic mixed with Primal now 😊
Natures Logic Distinction made my puppy smell and gave her constipation.
Just found your channel. Thanks so much for this vital information! My dog has stopped wanting to eat her IAMS. I'm now only able to give her Honest Kitchen, Wellness Core toppers, and unKibble.
Btw, that blush is absolutely perfect on you.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I feed Petcurean Venison grain-free dry in combination with The Honest Kitchen grain-free base mix which I feed either alone just the water mixed in or I add white fish to it. My dog is allergic to chicken. He also has an allergy or intolerance to beef, pork, and pretty much all grains except rice... He also has to be on a lower-fat food because of pancreatitis in the past - for that reason, I do not feed raw or wet food, I've found pretty much all of them too high in fat.
I was surprised to see Stella and Chewys on the list. I don’t use it but years ago I used it as bait in show rngs
Thank you so much! Love my fur babies.❤
😢 I appreciate your video. I will be taking notes the second viewing. There’s so many recalls lately on all kinds of foods. My dog has been having issues and my daughter’s dog. They are both older, but I suspect the food.
I had my dog eating the Kibbles and Bits dry kibble, he had random seizures. I took him to the vet and the vet could not help him because he did not have consecutive seizures. I started to research if maybe he was allergic to something in his food. I changed his food to FreshPet food and he was rid of the random seizures forever. The more Natural the food the better the animal is as nature intended.
So sorry your doggie was having seizures😢I just started my new doggie on kibbles n bits. Thank you for your information, I'm going to switch now.
What would you recommend that isn’t too pricey? 😬
@@coltonlevi4385 not sure because everything is pricey right now but I use Freshpet Vital Grainfree bison and beef refriderated dog food from Petsmart.
Kibbles and bits is trash!!
@@coltonlevi4385 homecook using a crockpot or slow cooker.
Thank you so much for posting this! I feed my allergy suffering dog a combination of unique protein foods (avoiding chicken), so mix several different brands in a combo meal so he doesn't get tired of his food. I have been using the Acana Whole Grains blend as one of his foods and I did notice the past two months that he isn't as keen on finishing his meal as usual, and his stool is sometimes loose. I'm trading the Acana (sad; it was such a good brand, which he enjoyed) back to Honest Kitchen as the addition to the Earthborn mix that is the basis of his food.
Usually, allergies are to the grain and other fillers.
@@rp8211allergies also from denatured and hydrolyzed protein, like the over processed garbage found in pet foods.
Interesting and informative! I swapped to Farmina from Acana/Orijen over a year ago based your recommendations. I'm glad I did now. However, do you still recommend it? I did not see you mentioning Farmina this time around. I noticed my senior dog is less motivated to eat the kibble past 2 months...but none of the other symptoms with what was stated in the video. Also noticed Stella and chewy jerky bites has been less enticing for her.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information. I will share this with my friends and family. I cook for my fur baby using AKC Recipes because there were so many recalls. My pup is my little heart. ❤
