ABOUT TODAYS VIDEO: How to pick the healthiest kibble for dogs
Here are 5 things a kibble must have to be considered the healthier option.
Number one is perhaps the most important and something I want you to really take on board. And that's the fact that a canine, your dog, simply does not need carbohydrates in their diet to thrive, period!
Number two, following on from number one is that the ingredients in a kibble must not contain corn, rice, potatoes, wheat, soy or barley. These ingredients are high in carbohydrates, often GMO or genetically modified organisms, contaminated with mycotoxins and with high levels of Glyphosate in them.
Number three, as I just mentioned, the kibble must contain naturally derived vitamins and minerals because the synthetic alternatives is not well absorbed or even widely recognized by your dogs digestive system, often seen as foreign objects and expelled from the body as smelly, expensive and very concentrated urine. Synthetics also lead to health issues with acidosis, stones and UTI's.
Number four is the protein levels of the kibble. They need to be as high as possible. Preferably 30%+ and on a dry weight basis, that's important. And has to be at least 75% animal based protein. So make sure the first 3 ingredients on the nutrition panel are animal based.
And Number 5, the kibble must have ingredients you know the origin of and where they were made. This one is tricky when the manufacturer states proudly made in the USA and the ingredients are shipped from China. So always be chasing up the pet food manufacturer for their pet food ingredient origins and stay vigilant.

I bought the Ketonatural for my dog. I hope it works! She has fatty lumps in her chest and it's hard for her to get up. What else can I do for her!?
Hi dan, i just wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for helping me get informed about k9 diabetes. With your videos i was able to take care of my pup for 3 years after her diagnosis. She's i no londer with us💔! Thank you for your videos and from time to time replying to my questions! I am very grateful.
Your most welcome. Sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences. It was a pleasure to help where I could.
Thank you very much for the information!
Your most welcome Maria.
Thanks Dan. Great information. Dan your the man.
Thanks Alan : ).
You are so helpful.thank you so much.
You are very welcome.
Thank you so much! I intend to order this food
Your welcome.
Love the videos and all the great info . Do you have anything on heart worm prevention?
I did a video on how to treat a dog with worms naturally: studio.ua-cam.com/users/video2LkzSgeOpGw/edit
This also works for heartworm. Just run the 28 day protocol once annually in September as prevention. Oh and the remedy is: Black Walnut, Clove & Wormwood Extract: amzn.to/2S8paBE
I am always happy to listen to your videos that help me take better care of my little Chihuahua.
Thank you, appreciated.
Thanks Dan for addressing micotoxins in the grains! My Lil girl is so healthy ( 8+yrs) because of your advice!)
Excellent, glad to help our furry friends.
Hello Dan you have such good content here any new videos coming?
Hi, next month I'm starting again with new content on all areas of Natural dog health. Thanks for asking.
Hi Dan! Thank you for your very informative videos! I have an 8 year old German Shepherd with a chicken allergy. I've always had him on high quality kibbles with low carb counts and added fresh food as toppers since he came to me at 1years old. He was already neutered then (neutered around 6months old I believe). He has been a lean body condition score his whole life ranging from 4 to 5 out of 9 because I was always aware more weight would put more strain on his joints. But that being said, he is a large GSD who at BCS 4 (ideal lean) weighs around 98lbs.
Recently I noticed he has some difficulty jumping that he never had before and some pain in his joints. My vet recommends putting him on Gabapentin (for Nerve pain?) and Carprofen or Galliprant (NSAIDs) but I'm hesitant to start him on what she called lifelong pain management drugs espcially an NSAID. Would you have recommendations?
Hi Ashley, sensitive dogs GSD's. I highly recommend ignoring your vet, a sad path indeed to a sad end, trust me.
For the joints use omega 3's (canned sardines: amzn.to/3vaXrj6 and omega 3 oil: amzn.to/3vDdtjX), Green Lipped Mussel Oil: amzn.to/3Yx9Z10, and CBD oil: healthydogforlife.com/CBD Buy a full spectrum CBD oil and use a 500 mg or 1000 mg strength. All great for dog joint health and pain management.
I recommend NO Nsaids or gabapantin. The above is better and natural.
And here's some diet help:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (best) soft boiled (ok) and preferably organic, canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better.
If not liking to prepare vegetables then these freeze dried greens are antioxidant packed to help protect cells from free radical damage, cellular repair, support immunity, joints, skin issues, heart and eye health: Core Immune CARE Greens: shrsl.com/3uv18
Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables.
Always add a quality probiotic to improve digestion and gut health: (skin issues/yeast/itchy dogs/allergies) use this one: amzn.to/3yoURqU and for all other dogs use this one: shrsl.com/3uv7l
If you want an excellent, VERY low carbohydrate kibble at just 5%, (high carbohydrates cause chronic inflammation, with itchy skin, yeast, poor gut health, ear infection, UTI's and hot spots, and nearly all kibbles are 40+% carbs!).
Ketona has high protein at 47% (dogs thrive on proteins), correct fats at 15% and natural additives, so have a look at Ketona Kibble: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble. I recommend still adding the fresh foods even with the best kibble.
By introducing fresh foods, really lowering carbs use, introducing greens, omega 3's, proteins and a better more suitable kibble, your dog will respond with healing and improved health over the next 12 weeks.
Some must do's:
Zero vaxx once adult (auto immune disease issues rife from over vaccination)
If Rabies is mandatory, use Protect after shots: (Humic & Fulvic acid) amzn.to/33P2P1i
Very low carbs in diet, 10% or less (cause of inflammation, poor gut health and later, cancer)
No vet drugs, there's effective natural alternatives (always!)
Feed a healthier diet with at least 50% fresh food in it.
NO white foods ie white rice, potato, pasta..
Hi, thank you for so much information..u been giving over the years thank god i came along to the channel so professional and plesent to watch. Thank you....New Subscriber and big fan...
Thank you, means a lot. Appreciate the comment. More videos coming in the fall.
Just found your channel while looking for remedies for my dogs arthritis. Watched a vid from two years ago but thought i would ask about crushed egg shells for dogs. I will continue to binge more of your content, thanks!!
Hi and thanks for dropping in. The crushed eggshells is for calcium needs and only really needed if feeding raw meats with no bone content.
For arthritis there's a number of great help: there's omega 3 oils: Hemp Seed oil: amzn.to/3vDdtjX, proven to aid joint health,
there's antioxidants that really help in a number of ways including joint aid: Green Vibrance: amzn.to/3cOgzLu,
there's Green Lipped Mussels (powder): amzn.to/3sZnTfN proven very effective for joint health and there's the traditional Glucosamine - amzn.to/3wIWbVl a good long term option.
And if quick help needed, almost a wonder fix with many dogs and that's CBD oil: healthydogforlife.com/CBD
@@DanScott1 Thank you so much!!!
@@DanScott1 I will look into the CBD. Any particular one? He's a 71 lb dog. 👍
@@Peter_McKenna587 Your welcome.
@@Peter_McKenna587 healthydogforlife.com/CBD The 600 I think it's called. Try that first. Start at half dose first few days, then up to full dose and if no effect after 1 week, give 50% extra dose for 1 week, then try 100% extra dose and review the results to see which dose has best effect. We are all dose dependant.
Hi Dan, I feed my dog Instinctive Bites which is available from Pet Circle, an Australian pet supplies co. Would love and appreciate to hear your thoughts on its nutritional makeup, etc. Have found your channel to be very informative. Thanks from Oz.
I could not get passed a bad gateway to that brand so can't really comment but to say it uses synthetic vits/minerals, probably around 30-40% carbs. Reasonable ingredients, so pretty average dry dog food.
I definitely recommend this information, just use your kibble in the scenario:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (best) soft boiled (ok) and preferably organic, canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better but not essential.

Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables and freeze dried greens.

@@DanScott1 Thank you for an incredibly helpful answer Dan! I've read it all carefully. At the bottom you mention adult dogs not needing vaccination, if I'm not mistaken? So you don't think they need yearly vaccinations once an adult dog as it can affect their immune system?
I did look up the Ketonation kibble brand but unfortunately they only distribute within USA at the moment.
My dog unfortunately has kennel cough at the moment so I started on your channel watching a video about that. He also has a lot of skin allergy issues, itches. I will definitely try to incorporate those other fresh food ingredients into his diet that you mention and see how he goes.
I might need to take him to the vet today for antibiotics to help his kennel cough however. And there, I will ask about the echinacea tincture you pointed to in your other video. Thank you once again!
@@anthonyt7813 For the cough you need natures antibiotic oregano oil: just find a good one, add 1 drop to tsp olive oil and add to food for 5 days once daily to fix the cough.
Give ZERO vaccines to your dog! They will simply ruin your dogs health.
Your dogs immune system is very low, don't give vet drugs, they'll make it worse!
Start fresh foods in the diet, low carbs, no synthetics.
Where are you based?
We started our dog. Who has seizures, on Ketona a year ago. Nice to see it is recommended by you.
Good choice. Glad it's working. Re seizures, to stop or slow them to onece in a blue moon, I recommend lots of fresh foods in the diet, ie eggs, sardines and veg. And to use a strong CBD oil daily.
Here's how to split the kibble meals:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (best) soft boiled (ok) and preferably organic, canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better.

@DanScott1 Brody is 8 years old. He has been having seizures for 3 years. They started 19 hours after he received his rabies booster. He would have then every 9 to 30 days. Last Sept 2022 he had them every 4 hours. I gave on and vet prescribed Phenobarbitual. Checked blood a month later and his liver was off the charts. Was told to slowly discontinue the Phenobarbital and added Keppra. Still having seizures 9 to 20 days.
They added Zonisamide.
Still the same. I had been giving CBD (nuleaf naturals) from the beginning. I was told to discontinue as it caused his liver numbers to go up.
Brody is also on MCT oil, salmon oil and proviable probiontics. And Keppra with fresh cooked chicken or beef. I just read about magnesium and started giving him bisglycimate magnesium a week ago. I will start adding the vegetables and get him on a more healthy diet. AND add the CBD oil back in his diet. Thanks again for your wonderful advice and help. Its much aporeciated.
Seizures started 10 hours not 19 hours, after being vaccinated.
@@sylvialacey-dogs4381 I see. Does the diet information resinate with you? I'm thinking of how this helps lower the frequency of seizures.
@DanScott1 Yes. Thankful for your information and help.
I will be adding the vegetables to his diet today. He is already taking salmon oil for his omegas. Should I stop that when giving him the sardines. We've given sardines as toppers on his kibble before.
You Have been such a big help. The Vets I have gone to have not been much help. Just want to increase medication when medication is obviously not working.
I started watching all your videos. So glad I discovered you on youtube.
Hi Dan,
You have been so prompt and detailed in your advice for the situations with my SARDS pup. I am so grateful to you for that and have been recommending your channel to my friends.
A couple of days ago I noticed a couple of patches on my pups inner thigh with a waxy pale yellowish residue. I noticed a similar waxy deposit in her ears too. I clean her ears regularly, I’ve never seen this before.
Please let me know what you think this is and how it can be treated.
(Bindi has been on .2mg Levothyroxine twice a day for around 3 years.)
From my research it looks like yeast. I could be wrong.
Thank you in advance for your help.
This is a bit tricky as there's complications from what your telling me and I have no history. If it was me, Id be all over a fresh food diet, no kibbles, no synthetics, NO vaccines, NO dewormers and the rest.
And I'd use the natural options to get the glands to respond correctly, not Levo.
Starts with good diet. And yeast means carbs/vaxx/synthetics. Fresh food/supplements needed for this too.
Thank you. I have made the switch to raw chicken patties, no vaccines, one preventative (because I live in tropical Florida), probiotics, fish oil, flax, no other grains, veggies like spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, squash, green beans, eggs and sardines.
I’d appreciate it greatly if you have any suggestions for natural options for Levothyroxine.
I thank you again for your invaluable advice. I only hope and pray that I am doing right by my little girl.
@@create-hx7pe Natura Options For Hypothyroidism In Dogs:
Herbs:
Mushrooms: Sacred 7 Mushroom Extract Powder - USDA Organic - Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Maitake, Shiitake, Turkey Tail, Chaga - amzn.to/3CLiI6y
The best immune system booster and protector, i use them.
Ashwaganda and turmeric also excelent properties.
Nutrceuticals/glandulars: Standard Process Thyroid support, Thyroid complex (Sold through vets) Speak to professional about these.
Get a holistic vet and run a Metabolic Nutritional Analysis via Smith Ridge Veterinary Center. Once the analysis is done, they’ll make up a glandular supplement tailored to your dog’s results.
Fresh, spring or filtered water only.
Plenty of exercise.
Oh and well done on the diet transition, it's the biggest part of the equation to help your dogs conditin. Remember to blend/puree those veggies after a very ligh part cooking.
Hi Dan,
Thankyou so much for your help with these videos- I've watched and rewatched many of your videos to get the best info I can on healing my pups yeasty or gut issue. Diet is key for sure, I just changed her diet back in December to the Badlands Ranch superfood complete, this was before I found your videos, I think it is a great food so far! It's expensive, I guess to some but honestly I think it's worth it. Have you heard of this brand it's from the actress Katherine Heigl and let me tell you my dog is a very picky eater but she ate this one right up and every day since. I had an unfortunate incident at the vet in the past with vax and I have to say her allergies had gotten 10x worse after it. My husband took her to the vet for a separate problem and they gave her a second set of shots so she got two doses of every vaccine within a 3 month time frame. I was so angry they did that. They messed up big time thinking she was there for shots and my husband didn't say anything I guess not realizing but I still feel like he should've known too but the vet should have known that she had her shots already and I just wished I didn'thave to work that day to have taken her myself! Made me beyond angry then I asked what complications could happen and they were just like she'll be fine over the phone and it's good that she's not a small dog. That was unacceptable to me, then I realized I was the wrong one for following the every day thinking I'm doing the best for my girly by listening to the vet and not questioning all they do. So I started researching and realized I'll never get her vaxxed again. On top of that, the diet I changed completely. She still suffers a little from paw licking and sometimes scooting but I don't think worms though bc her poop never has anything that resembles what I'm supposed to see if they were worms. But I do think that the allergies is it like she's itchy bc her gut has been overloaded with bad for forever! Any tips will be appreciated and still just thankyou for these videos! Thankyou again really!
For the sensitivities from shots: Colostrum: amzn.to/3H79rad
For the system/blood sugar balance and more: Dandelion Root Extract: amzn.to/33KWWT6
For diet, add some extra organic raw eggs into that diet and some part cooked and blended veggies or the freeze dried option: Green Vibrance: amzn.to/3cOgzLu
And some soil based probiotics for gut health: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Thankyou for responding, sorry if I sounded mad in my post just thinking of the situation got me upset. I will definitely take your advice about 3 days ago I got the soil based probiotics from your link in a different video and will get the others you just suggested here. Thankyou again for responding as well! We pet parents appreciate you bringing us to the light on this stuff! I love my dog she's apart of my family just want to make it right! Thankyou again!
@@everclearwonderful8796 I understand, that's what this channel is for, the natural, more caring approach. Dogs are other people too.
Thank you, Dan! Can a bump on the lower eyelid be treated naturally? She’s had it for 2 years, I think it’s called a chalazion... We appreciate you!
I don't know a ton about them. They often resolve on their own or by using a compress helps. I know vets can sometines pin them to release blocked follicle, so that's an option, maybe.
Diatery wise, I always suggest GV for better circulation:Green Vibrance: amzn.to/3cOgzLu
Can you suggest a can dog food that's healthy for dogs. Thank you!
Here's an option that gets good reviews. www.chewy.com/canidae-all-life-stages-chicken-rice/
I'd still want to add eggs and canned sardines into the meal several times a week.
Hi Dan, I hope you are doing well. First of all I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for your help. You are truly amazing.
My boy is 9 years old and sometimes he vomit yellow water, usually in the morning. He eats twice a day.
Also he has a small lump on his belly, It is neither enlarged nor deformed.
It can be serious for him ?
I would be grateful If you help me with that Dan 💓
That reads like yellow bile. You know when you think of food when your empty/hungry, it can set off your appetite and stomach acids start flowing which can be uncomfortable. For a dog the stomach acid is strong and so he's throwing it up for relief.
Is the lump soft and movable? (ie not fixed and hard).
What country are you in?
@@DanScott1 It is soft and moves a little but not too much! I have to press it between my fingertips to move. I mean It doesn't move just by touch.(I don't know If I was able to define it clearly or not)
I am currently living in Northern Cyprus.
Do I need to take my dog for pathology test ?
Hi Dan,
I have a six year old German Shepherd.
I switched his previous kibble and started him on KetoNatural along with egg, veggie and sardine as suggested for the last month and a half. I also add probiotics and enzymes. His stools were rock hard and more ball like than longer sausage shape. I loved the results of the KetoNatural but worried about such hard stool on a consistent basis. Any suggestions?
Thanks for all the great video's and advice, good sir. Much appreciated!
Thank you Kim, your most welcome. I'd add some extra part cooked and blended above ground veggies to the mix and to soften stools. Also pumpkin is good here too. And some casual drinks of plain coconut water for extra hydration, important.
Thank you, Dan! Will try that.
Hello, I know this is a longshot considering your last video was posted six months ago on UA-cam but I figured I would comment just in case there’s a chance he might answer. I just came across your channel and I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your Contin. I understand it’s all about dogs but I didn’t know if you had any channels like yours that you can recommend me to look at for information about cats as well. Thank you so much for your honesty information and I hope you make more videos!
Your welcome. Yes, I will be making more videos from next month. I don't know any good cat channels though.
A lot of what I say on this channel does work for cats, maybe just ask first.
Hi Dan, I would value your advice to me on how best to wean my Maltese puppies from their mother's milk over the next few weeks: they are four weeks old this Thursday 11th Jan 2024. So what home cooked foods would be best for them? And what ratio of protein to carb should I use for their diet? I will of course make sure the food is soup like in texture and easy to lap. For me, it is not an easy thing to find a factory produced puppy dog food that I would consider helpful or healthy. Your knowledge on nutrition is greatly appreciated. My surname is Scott also. Thank you Dan.
Well Mr Scott, it depends on what diet you want to fed them?
They are small dogs so I'd want to feed them a raw food diet knowing I can stay on budget. And in this case raw green tripe is the best puppy food.
Here's an example of a pre-made raw food product provider: shrsl.com/3yxwr
And here's one that provides the ingredients to a raw food diet: shrsl.com/3yxwk
Or you could move onto freeze dried raw, here's an example: Bixby Rawbble Freeze Dried Raw chicken - amzn.to/3YH6GVD
Bixby Rawble - Freeze Dried Lamb - amzn.to/3kDbUmX
But I'd still go with green tripe for puppy food as it's a complete food nutritionally. Comes as frozen chubs usually, just defrost to above room temp and serve. Pups go nuts for it too!
Hi Dan, hope all is well! We miss you! You helped me get my dog well a while back and we are very grateful. Will you be back on this platform? Frangipani and loyal companion. ❤
I'll be back, already made a few videos but tech faults means a new computer first.. so new video out this month fingers crossed. Lots more to say yet. Thanks for your calling in, appreciated.
Oh wonderful! Very glad to hear that you are well! Looking forward to new videos, you are our favorite and best dog advocate and a fantastic human being for doing what you do! Grateful every day! (If I could, I'd send you a new computer.)

Hi Dr what prebiotic and probiotic do you recommend. I need help..my 5lb yorkie has NLE or MUE necrotizing Leukoencephalitis.😢 he’s on prednisolone twice a day atopica 10mg twice a day and he gets cytosar subcutaneous injections every four weeks going on 2yrs this Dec. It seems his liver enzymes are increased. Now I am going to try the milk thistle, and he’s had this bout of what seems like an upper respiratory sinus infection lots of sneezing violent shaking of his head, pawing at his face. It’s been over a month. He’s been on 2 rounds of Clavamox I’m thinking it Has to do with his gut health but not sure. The sneezing is aggravated when he starts to eat. He has bad teeth. It could also be the sinus. He’s also started to snore a little bit. I stopped the antibiotics and started making his food ground turkey, blueberries, carrots, broccoli, spinach, and pumpkin no oil or spices but I want to add a prebiotic and probiotic as well if that’s going to help him. My dog has no insurance and I am paying all of this out-of-pocket. It’s getting very expensive, but he still has quality of life. I don’t want to take that away from him. Thank you for your help
I would be very grateful for help, my dog needs a zinc supplement but I don't know what kind of zinc I can give him and what dose? he is a small dog of 13 pounds
The best source of zinc is oysters, but it's also plentiful in red meat and poultry. Other good sources of zinc include other kinds of seafood, nuts whole grains, breakfast cereals, and dairy products.
Or maybe something like this supplement if not wanting to use fresh foods: amzn.to/3Ui56tQ
Hi Dan, I have a 4 month old frenchie who is not as interested in his kibble. I am not sure if it has to do with him feeling unwell for eating a chicken bone a few days ago but he seems fine and his stool is normal he is active and playing so im hoping he passed the bones he accidentally ate a few days ago. But I noticed he is not as interested in his food anymore, He can eat his beef snacks all day and devour them but if I give him kibbles he just doesnt want them anymore. What can I do to help him eat again. Any advice would help . Thanks!
Ah, this is a classic case of, the dog ate fresh food, found it incredible and life giving, now understands kibble is crap and does not give that life giving feeling like fresh food.
Frenchies are smart, what you'll now need to do is this.. but your Frenchie will love you forever if he can have this improved diet:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (best) soft boiled (ok) and preferably organic, canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better.
If not liking to prepare vegetables then these freeze dried greens are antioxidant packed to help protect cells from free radical damage, cellular repair, support immunity, joints, skin issues, heart and eye health: Core Immune CARE Greens: shrsl.com/3uv18
Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables.
Always add a quality probiotic to improve digestion and gut health: (skin issues/yeast/itchy/allergy dogs) use this one: amzn.to/3yoURqU and for all other dogs use this one: shrsl.com/3uv7l
If you want an excellent, VERY low carbohydrate kibble at just 5%, (high carbohydrates cause chronic inflammation, with itchy skin, yeast, poor gut health, ear infection, UTI's and hot spots, and nearly all kibbles are 40+% carbs!).
Ketona has high protein at 47% (dogs thrive on proteins), correct fats at 15% and natural additives, so have a look at Ketona Kibble: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble. I recommend still adding the fresh foods even with the best kibble.
By introducing fresh foods, really lowering carbs use, introducing greens, omega 3's, proteins and a better more suitable kibble, your dog will respond with healing and improved health over the next 12 weeks.
Some must do's:
Zero vaxx once adult (auto immune disease issues rife from over vaccination)
If Rabies is mandatory, use Protect after shots: (Humic & Fulvic acid) amzn.to/33P2P1i
Very low carbs in diet, 10% or less (cause of inflammation, poor gut health and later, cancer)
No vet drugs, there's effective natural alternatives (always!)
Feed a healthier diet with at least 50% fresh food in it.
NO white foods ie white rice, potato, pasta..
Hi Dan what do you recommend for preventative for hip and joints for your dogs? Supplement wise
For instant improvement of existing condition, it's CBD oil: healthydogforlife.com/CBD
Inflammation is the underlying cause of artritis in dogs, not age. Long term low grade chronic inflammation is the cause of most ill health in dogs.
What are the problems:
Processed kibbles are inflammatory.
Additives and preservatives in pet food are inflammatory.
Sugars and starches (carbs) are inflammatory.
GMO's are inflammatory.
Over vaccination, vet drugs like flea&tick or antibiotics are all very inflammatory.
Bad fats in the diet are inflammatory.
NSAIDS eventually make inflammation worse.
How to fix this:
Start by fixing gut health, with fixing the diet.
A far better option is adding fresh foods into the diet.
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (best) soft boiled (ok) and preferably organic, canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better but not essential.
If not liking to prepare vegetables then these freeze dried greens are antioxidant packed to help protect cells from free radical damage, cellular repair, support immunity, joints, skin issues, heart and eye health: Core Immune CARE Greens: shrsl.com/3uv18
Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables and freeze dried greens.

Hey Dan, I have a 12 lb Shitzhu. He is having very bad red skin issues and ear problems. I am going to start him on Ketona. Should I feed him half of what is recommended and then the rest I would like to add your recommended fresh foods (eggs, sardines, vegs). I don't know how much fresh food to give him daily to make up for the other 50% of kibble. Also, is there anything else you would recommend to help with his conditions? Thank you so much!
My ebook has all this in detail so you know exactly what to do and how much: healthydogforlife.com/feed-your-dog-better-book-by-dan-scott/
I'd use a soil based probiotic to add to each meal for better digestion: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Go slow and small first week or so to smooth transition of diets including the probiotics.
Work on 1/4lb of added fresh food daily.
Hi Dan my pet has lung cancer … I have started the cbd oil and tumeric paste is there anything else I can do ?
I have emailed you about this.
Hi Dan, hope.your well, 😊 it seems.They have taken your more recent videos down?
Dashs ear problem has resolved itself, so thank you for the advice on that, I was cleaning his paws, three days ago and I was crying of the rain from his head after I sent over his head with my hand and felt something in the outside flap of his ear, near the edge of the tip of the ear, it wasn't there on the afternoon, just seemed to come from nowhere?
I thought it might be a bite? But not sure it's quite hard looks like a large pimple?
Not sure what to put on it?
Not sure what it is, I been putting cider vinegar on it but it's still there? Would it be anything to worry about?
Could be just a temporary cyst. Use oregano oil: amzn.to/3ulnF1T 1 drop in tsp coconut oil, mix and apply for 7 days.

Tricky question and I don't know one in the UK. There will be a boutique one somewhere, an expensive one but I cannot see it from a short search, just the usual crap usually served up in search results. Needs more digging.

@@JoshChambers-wg9og You really need to add some fresh foods to the meals to make it better/healthier. Think raw eggs, canned sardines, blended part cooked veg, meats and organs.
This video just showed up on my home page. Very good information. For those who must feed kibble for whatever reason, Ketona seems to be a viable option. I would hope dog owners would feed at least some wet food or homemade food as well. One thing is the high protein. AAFCO maximum for an adult dog is 30%. High levels of protein, especially in an older dog, could cause problems. Not saying it will, but all pets are different. You would want to watch the results of their blood work. A 24 pound bag of Ketona for $4.87 a pound is not extreme. The fresh chicken and ground beef I feed my cats are cheaper. Also, the second ingredient is chicken meal. Not a big fan. The Ketona website does not have the nutrient profile for calcium, phosphorus and sodium.
Thank you. It's not so much high protein as quality of protein for older dogs. The additives are natural and carbs are very low at 5%. Dogs don't do well on carbs and most foods are 40%+ carbs.
And yes, I do recommend adding eggs, meats, sardines and veg to really make a meal complete.
That AFFCO maximum is off by 20%!
@@DanScott1 Thank you for your reply. I agree, the better the protein source, the lower the amounts of nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus, which is better for pets. The nutrient levels established by AAFCO are based on the levels that would be found in the natural prey of a dog or cat. The numbers come from the "Small Animal Clinical Nutrition" book, which uses studies, from Germany and the USA. (Table 12-4 and 12-5, Page 254, SACN, fifth edition)
@@edschulhof6303 They do their best but it's all a complete guess as to the exact needs of dogs nutritional profile set up 2 million years ago. Reductive reasoning is limited in this respect.
@@DanScott1 We all just want what is best for our pets. It should not be this difficult to find food that does not make them sick.
@@edschulhof6303 We do and it should not be this difficult but the non-laws surrounding pet food have been lumped in with commercial animal production foods and therefor taken advantage of to produce low quality pet food from human and animal industry waste.
Ideally we would be better not using ANY commercial pet food and making our own with food we know the origen of.
After that it's small run artisanal pet food producers with high motivation to better quality pet food.
Hello Dan, our dog has been eating chicken, usually organic, for the last three years. We tried the raw diet, but she had horrid diarrhea. When we give her grass fed or organic steak, she has diarrhea or a lot of gas. Pork is the same story. For the last month she had slimy or mucous like poop. Then we tried a yeast guard protocol, and she has brown pudding or mucous like diarrhea. Our conventional vet just gives drugs. I just have no idea what to do. I purchased oil of oregano with organic olive oil, not sure if I can give it to her, thinking she may have parasites? I am desperate for help.
Start from scratch, move slow with the chiken and build in little bits of egg, sardines, veg, other meats etc.
I dont know the history so difficult to tell health issues but gut is at the center of it. Oregano oil is for infection mainly, 1 drop in tsp olive oil daily for 7 days and stop.. if there's infection.
Use a soil based probiotic only: amzn.to/3yoURqU and start very small dose, then build to normal dose over two weeks.
Also try Colostrum: amzn.to/3H79rad for the sensitivity.
Everything new in food and supplements has to start small and slow.
No vaccines, synthetics or vet drugs.
Add a 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar to one meal each day and or 1 clove fine chopped garlic to meals twice weekly for any parasites.
Thank you so much!

Hello there. My dog has foos allergies to salmon and xhicken and beef. The ketona brand doesnt offer turkey or lamb, do you have any othwr suggestions?
The second option is from Orijen original dry dog food, their classic line, which is moderately processed, synthetic free and has around 40% protein, 17% fats and 18% carbohydrates. And there's 9 recipes across the range.
The Origen dry dog food is second to Ketona in carbohydrate volume at 18%, does not contain excessive minerals and vitamins to cover up poor ingredients and is made in house.
Please view this option: amzn.to/3vw70gs
Is 46% protein too high for a St Bernard?
@@thomnedell430 About spot on. Free dog feeding studies were around 47% protein consumption.
Is it better to give veggies raw carrots,brocolli, kale, spinach or are they better steamed/cooked? Also what meats to you suggest adding to kibble to boost it?
I think part cooking, then blending is the best way to give veggies. The usual meats like chicken, beef, lamb pork, turkey etc Maybe some raw green tripe, it's a complete food and of course eggs and sardines.
I'd also add a good soil based probiotic so your dog can assimilate the foods better: amzn.to/3yoURqU

I don't know your dogs history but my advice is a raw food diet and strong CBD oil essentially as this has worked in the past with clients. As you can see. it's big issue and so needs clear changes. Just wean the dog over to a raw food diet over 1 month while giving CBD several times a day: healthydogforlife.com/CBD

Hello! I’ve been feeding my dog and 3 puppies a raw diet (mainly chicken and beef). But it’s so expensive that I recently switched to a protein rich kibble (ORIJEN Grain Free, high protein). Now I’m wondering if I should leave them on the raw diet for health benefits? But I was confused on what else to add to a raw diet. Can they live on only meat?
Raw will always beat kibble hands down for health.
There is another high protein kibble and very low carbs called Ketona: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble but again, it's expensive because of the protein content.
For raw check out raw green tripe for example as it's cheaper than pure meat, very well digested and a complete nutrition food: shrsl.com/3yxwk
It's a puppies favorite too.. nice and smelly.
You'll have to do the math but raw eggs and sardines are protein rich which can be added to the meat options.
You can make friends with a local butcher and ask to save the scraps. There's raw cooperatives on facebook for example that order in bulk to save costs. Same with local raw feeding dog owners clubs who can get deals which is great if you have freezer space.
You can even advertize on craigslist or gumtree for freezer burn produce wanted.. just a thought.
Dogs need around 50% meat, 15% bone, 10% offal/organs ie liver, 5-10% veg and 15% fats.
The 15% bone content is important for calcium that goes with the phosphorous in the meat for balance and if not feeding meaty bones then use bone meal powder: amzn.to/3OsOXMf
15% fats is important, no less that 12% and no more than 20%. The meat has fat in it and the rest would come from adding some extra omega 3 oils if needed.
Hope that helps.

I have a question that may be a bit off topic but I thought I would ask anyway. I recently changed my dogs food from Carna4 kibble to Steve's raw diet. I currently have chickens that free range and have noticed my dog occasionally eating the chicken poop. He doesn't eat his own just the chickens. I thought at first he might be missing some nutrients from his diet but thought this new raw diet would satisfy his nutritional needs. Do you have any thoughts on this with regards on how to remedy this problem? I would hate to keep the chickens in the coop all the time because I would like them to get a well balanced diet of greens and bugs. Im not sure if its safe for the dog and if I should be concerned. Thank you
Must be something the dog likes in the chicken poop. If you feed the chickens natural based foods and they eats bugs/greens the poop the dog eats will be fine and better than commercial foods lol.

@@bj5253 Once you start feeding a more fresh food based diet, the ears simply stay clean by themselves. For now as a probiotic, give a quarter tsp of fesh fine chopped garlic once every second day added to meals and also a small piece of banana in the meal. This gives probiotics and prebiotics.
If the ears are clean now, nothing to worry about. If there's a little dirt, use cotton bud/cotton ball and some saline water (pinch of salt mixed in small cup of fresh water). Any water falls down the ear canal, the dog will shake head to get it out.

Hi Dan, we have a mix dog- German shorthair pointer/ Porcelain Hound- her mother passed at 6 years of diabetes and Thyroid issues- her daughter who we have was diagnosed with Addison disease at 3years old- now 6 years- and just diagnosed with diabetes- she was over weight at 84 lbs- lost 16bls in less than 6 weeks weighing in at 67lbs- we have her on insulin injections- we just started Feb 9th - twice a day - eating a can diabetes food with kibble- twice a day
She is so young… we saw your video in hopes this is something we can do for Pearl ? Can you please reach out to me?
Hi Cindy, I'd change up the diet and add a supplement or two to focus on very low carbs (carbs are bad for dogs), good nutrition, lowering inflamation and improving gut heath.
The lowest carb kibble I know is Ketona, basically a protein based kibble: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble
Now, with this kibble you take out one third of your dogs meal volume and replace with eggs, canned sardines, a little meat option and some part cooked and mashed veg. Also add a little bit of raw liver or other organ based food, just a heaped desert spoon full daily for extra vitamins and minerals and again, add small to begin with to avoid upset.
Do this daily and feed two meals daily with injections after as you usally do. Transition to this diet option over two weeks with old to new foods and add this soil based probiotic from the forst meal but start it small first week: amzn.to/3yoURqU
She'll pick up more vigour and health on this diet. And keep an eye on insulin needs as the blood sugar numbers will drop.
NO vaccines, no carbs, no sugars, no fruit, no synthetics.
Also buy in some freeze dried greens and add a 1/4 scoop to each meal: amzn.to/3R1m3HR
Tons of antioxidants much needed and other good ingredients (wont need to prepare veggies if using the greens).
peas, lentils and beans - became associated with a serious heart condition in dogs called dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM;
Whole flaxseeds and ground flax can accumulate in your dog's digestive tract and form a blockage, leading to constipation
Not the best dog food but the whole DCM thing is onerous. Whole flax obviously yes but not fine ground, in fact, quite the opposite.
Hi Dan I need your urgent help . I have a golden retriever and I had given him a simparica tablet last night at 10 pm but after that he is having 2 seizures and the vet asked me to do his blood check up and heart check up please suggest me what to do

Vet has given him 2 months medication and since 10 to 15 days he doesn't have a seizure waiting to complete the vet medication course and also I have started too give him fresh food . But his deworming is due coming 12 th November please reply to me what can I do
I request you to please make more videos
I wanted to buy your book please suggest how to order I am from India
@@HappyFamily1810 Fresh food is very important, it helps. Use fresh raw garlic for deworming. Medium dog: 2 cloves fresh raw garlic, very fine chopped, let sit 15mins then add to meal once daily for 14 days, then after this it's just twice weekly. This will keep worms out.
How do I order ketona kibble in India. Through this link it says only delivering in the United States?
Sorry, I think only avaialble in the US.
Use what you have but find out it's carb content, then split it with fresh foods. ie 50/50.
@@DanScott1 then can I go for Nature's logic...with 50% kibble and 50% fresh food?
@@bj5253 Yes.
Im very skeptical about kibble. As I’m skeptical about processed food for humans too.
Based myself on common sense and little bit of research, eating food over “products”should be the way to go for all us and our pets. How can I trust a kibble? A product made for human convenience for modern days which stays “good” no matter what?
There's no kibble you can trust because it's not fresh food. Even the best kibble needs the addition of fresh foods to make it workable as I state in the video.
So your right to be skeptical.
Hi Dan
What oil would you use to help heal nails that have been torn?
My Dash has some how caught his left and right last nail on each paw?
How he done that is a !mystery?
The one nail has torn so the underneath bit of the nail has separated from the top bit of nail? So the bottom bit is hanging he won't let me near the nail just the paw.
The other paw both front paws, is split down to the pink bit of nail.
How he managed to do that the the nails on both paws I don't know but he must be in pain?
I have been bathing his paws in sea salt warm.water, but not sure what else to use for the best?
He is accident prone!!!
Yes, he's had an incident. They will heal naturally while you keep them clean. For fastest healing, use some lavender oil, diluted in warm water and cotton ball it onto the area once daily. Great healing speed and soothing to the dog: Organic Lavender Oil - amzn.to/36laJRE
3-4 drops into cereal sized bowl of warm water, mix and swab with cotton ball. No need for salt water either.
@@DanScott1 okay thanks Dan, what can i give him for the pain?
@@nikkibaxter5550 A good CBD oil helps reduce pain: healthydogforlife.com/CBD plus it relaxes, soothes and heals.
Hi Dan my Dash's nails are doing great! Thanks
Can you recommend a CBD oil I can get from England please?
As my friend orders for me as I have no bank account and she only orders from Amazon or eBay?
And I don't know which one is good, and there only seems to be hemp oil on the amazon? I already got the hemp oil.
Hey there. New subscriber here! Can you help me with a natural ear cleaner. Thanks
There's several options but one I like is lavender oil: amzn.to/36laJRE

Our dog had surgery for kidney stones. Will the ketona kibble be safe for her and help her from getting stones again?
Yes it will but with this extra diet information I highly recommend you follow also:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (best) soft boiled (ok) and preferably organic, canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better but not essential.
If not liking to prepare vegetables then these freeze dried greens are antioxidant packed to help protect cells from free radical damage, cellular repair, support immunity, joints, skin issues, heart and eye health: Core Immune CARE Greens: shrsl.com/3uv18
Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables and freeze dried greens.
Always add a quality probiotic to improve digestion and gut health: (skin issues/UTI's/yeast/itchy dogs) use this one: amzn.to/3yoURqU and for all other dogs use this one: shrsl.com/3uv7l
If you want an excellent, VERY low carbohydrate kibble at just 5%, (high carbohydrates cause chronic inflammation, with itchy skin, yeast, poor gut health, ear infection, UTI's and hot spots, and nearly all kibbles are 40+% carbs!).
Ketona has high protein at 47% (dogs thrive on proteins), correct fats at 15% and natural additives, so have a look at Ketona Kibble: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble. I recommend still adding the fresh foods even with the best kibble.
By introducing fresh foods, really lowering carbs use, introducing greens, omega 3's, proteins and a better more suitable kibble, your dog will respond with healing and improved health over the next 12 weeks.
Some must do's:
Zero vaxx once adult (auto immune disease issues rife from over vaccination)
If Rabies is mandatory, use Protect after shots: (Humic & Fulvic acid) amzn.to/33P2P1i
Very low carbs in diet, 10% or less (cause of inflammation, poor gut health and later, cancer)
No vet drugs, there's effective natural alternatives (always!)
Feed a healthier diet with at least 50% fresh food in it.
NO white foods ie white rice, potato, pasta..
@@DanScott1 Thank you very much! The vet has her on a royal canin kibble and the first ingredient is corn! The protein is only 17%. I’m so glad I saw your post and really appreciate you helping me with this. She’s a picky eater but loves broccoli and sardines!

@@prempremkumar6770 I gave you the answer already!
I said: Feed fresh foods not commercial foods. Think eggs, meats, veg, canned sardines, fish. Don't feed cooked fatty foods, bad for pancreas. Cooked chicken is ok but no fat on it or skin and zero rice! Use the above.
@@DanScott1 ok sir thank you so much 🥲 how many days to take to cure this problem sir tell some medicines I will give
@@prempremkumar6770 I can't really say, depends on how well you feed a fresh food based diet. Look for Milk Thistle and Dandelion root tincture both great for your dogs needs.
Hello doc, is it safe to feed a dog brown rice and what are the benifits??
Brown rice is good for energy for dogs that need the extra calories. Not the best nutritionally for a dog as they really only need proteins and fats.
But if the dog is lean, high energy and exercised a lot then it's worthwhile and much better than white rice which is useless having been bleached to look white which in turn kills the kernal, the best most nutritious part.

Hello sir. Recently all my house members devloped conjunctivitis. I am scared my dog will get it too. Please can you tell me some remedies ASAP. Thanks in advance
Ah yes, the old pink eye. Yes, it can be spread to the dog as bacterial infection. So no one touch the dog ok, at least unnecessarily.
Get some spray silver and everyone spray their eyes if it's still ongoing - this one: Silver spray: amzn.to/3gJ16i3
And use it on the dog if he gets the infection and will kill the bacteria. Don't use ongoing, just when needed.
Tastes and acts like water so no worries spraying into the eyes.
@@DanScott1 ohk thanks a lot. Is there any other medicine needed? Some eye drops or any oral medication if she catches the infection.
@@bj5253 Your welcome. No, just this, it's antibiotic also and will fix things quickly. Can also add 1tsp to meals if infection strikes. Use for 5 days only if needed then stop.
@@DanScott1 thankfully she didn't catch it😄. But seriously thanks for these remedies and natural treatments. Other vet prescribed medicines are truly just poison and I am so done with those! Also I wanted to ask that by the amount of research and through your videos I have finally decided not to vaccinate my dog anymore. All her puppy shots are done and all the unnecessary shots are also given to her. But I also plan to travel with her soon bcoz I can't leave her anywhere and I also want her to travel. I usually travel with my own vehicle from state to state. I just wanted to ask how safe it will be regarding travelling in terms of she being not getting any vaccines further. I live in India and in my state there is almost no rabies. But if i travel will she be at risk of catching diffrent viruses? Also there are no titer test accepted here. I just want to know that does the risk increase if I don't vaccinate her further and travel?
@@bj5253 Those shots last 7-11 years as thorougly tested by Dr Ronald D Shultz many years ago. You can look that up.
Viruses are created from within the body and stay in the body, the transmission theory does not wash with me. Heck, this was first proven back in circa 1880.
Just have 100% pure oregano oil with you, mix 2 drops in tsp olive oil or other oil and add to food for 7 days if you do have bacterial or viral issues to deal with and you'll be fine.
I recommend NO more vaccines for life, your dogs covered.
My dog is suffering from mega esophagus problem...and he is vomiting every time...
Plz tell me any treatment or home remedies for dog...plz save him🙏plzzzz respond me sir
This one is tricky. 80% of pups do not survive, sorry. Some pups have a better long-term prognosis than others with severe symptoms. Pups with the best chance of survival are:
Pups who gain weight
Pups who are able to be calm and rest after feeding
Pups who don’t have repeated bouts of aspiration pneumonia.
After feeding, sit the dogs bum/or standing back leggs on the floor and have the front legs up on your lap for as long as possible to allow food to travel down into the stomach.
Make up and feed bone broth to get nutrients into the pup if hard food is not going in.
But it takes a significant commitment of time and energy to nurse the pups who do survive to one year.
Hello, I had a greyhound with the same problem. We took her kibble and mixed it up in a blender with water to make a smoothie. She loved it and had no problems keeping her food down. Worked like a charm. Hope this helps.

I have always heard about toxicity of salt in dogs and it should be avoided. But I have read some articles about how himalayan pink salt can be beneficial for dogs when given in moderation( just about a pinch ) I read that it can be good for bones, helps in lower blood pressure etc. Also there is some amount of salt in commercial dog food. I would really like to know your views on this sir.😇
Too much of any salt is bad but the pink rock salt has up to 96 trace minerals. I use it for me and dogs. Table salt is generally processed, lacking in minerals while rock salt is still in it's pure form and cleaner.

I switched the food of my 14 year old Cockapoo, who was diagnosed with SARDS in 2019, from kibble to raw and home cooked food. She used to throw up bile almost every day on kibble. That has since disappeared. However, due to SARDS, she gained a lot of weight (26lbs to 40lbs). Suddenly in September of 2022 she started to lose weight. She has a good appetite, but I think she’s losing muscle mass. Her hind legs are thin and they occasionally do collapse. What can I do to strengthen her legs an regrow muscle? She’s had luxating patella since she was young, and arthritis. I gave her Myos for muscles for a couple of months. Concerned about her cholesterol level with that product.
I do walk her 2-3 times a day.
I’m sorry for the long question, but I am not sold on my vets solutions.
I’d greatly appreciate your help PLEASE.

@@create-hx7pe I took a look at this but there's not much to go on. Lots of talk, not much actual 3rd party data to back up claims made.

Hi Dan
I have a question so I recently found out that Mars incorporated brought Orijen and Acana I’m beyond sadden that they sold to them I know that the kibbles will never be the same. Although I do home cook meals kibbles are a help as well when your training and transitioning. What would be a good kibble to give to my yorkies ?
I am making a video about a premium kibble I like and it's call Ketona: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble
it's the lowest carbohydrate kibble on the market at 5%, 47% protein, 16% fats and all natural additives.
Dogs suffer greatly with chronic inflammation from too much carbohydrates in their diet.
Unfortunately most research debunks much of the (mis)information he is sharing. Please consider other sources when researching animal diets. Dogs are omnivores, not carnivores and rely on carbohydrates for a balanced diet and energy source.
A dog’s teeth reflect the mechanics of the ripping and tearing of food. They also possess a shortened gastrointestinal tract, versus the longer GI tract of an omnivore or herbivore. In addition, dogs don’t have amylase, an enzyme that breaks down sugars, in their saliva, like an omnivore and herbivore would have. The relative inability to convert plant based sources of Omega-3 fatty acids into EPA and DHA is also a strong indication of carnivore status.
Despite this, omnivorous humans have been feeding dogs omnivorous diets for years, filled with plant based protein sources such as corn and rice. And this is why dogs now live to an average age of 11.5 when they are genetically able to live into their 20's.
Cheap omnivores carbohydrate diets are killing dogs at a faster rate than ever in history.
visonary pet is 1g carb
Yes, I've had a good look at that one. It's 33% fat which is very high and over twice what dogs need - 12.5% to be exact. Too much cooked fat for me, may lead to pancreas issues.
Hello sir. Please help! My female dog is 2 and a half year old, spayed. From last 6 months she has developed rashes on her belly chest and hind legs wherever there's no hair. I have tried changing the food, stopped kibble, stopped chicken gving fresh food now. Then started just giving fish and veggies. Also thought that it can be pollen or other environmental allergies, so kept her indoors for a month. Using natural floor cleaners...her bed toys everything around her is clean. I don't understand why the rashes are mot going away. I also give her hemp oil coconut oil. I have used neem oil on her rashes..sometimes they go away and will come back within 2 days. It's really frustrating. She is super healthy and active no other problem. She is eating her food well. Don't want to give her any antibiotics...gave once months back but it didn't work.Just her liver blood reoprt was slightly on higher side as I told you a while ago..and I am going to start milk thistle soon. Please if you can help me know why she is getting those rashes and how do I deal with it. Also no parasites, fleas or worms...just ended her wormwood treatment of 28 days and she has no worms. Thanks.
Topically, treat the rashes with oregano oil: amzn.to/3ulnF1T Add 1 drop to tsp olive oil or coconut oil, mix and rub on where needed. Make a batch up to use.
Try Colostrum (for allergies, sensitivity, intolerance & off Apoquel): amzn.to/3H79rad for a month or until pack finishes.

Those carbohydrates are inflammatory to dogs. So are the 'no grain' alternatives they use instead like potatos, soy and tapioca etc. It's important to give low carbs to dogs as it's proteins they thrive on. So eggs, canned sardines, fish generally and meats/green tripe are the best foods for dogs. That's why I recommend mixing up a kibble diet with fresh foods:

Slippery Elm Bark Powder - amzn.to/3CbHXx0 start with this to stop the blood and lower inflammation in the gut. This is probably leaky gut. Feed on empty stomach.
The diet needs some fresh foods in it ie eggs, canned sardines, veg. Use soil based probiotics: amzn.to/3yoURqU start them small and slow!
And try some colostrum for the sensitivities: amzn.to/3H79rad
Get off vet drugs, vaccines.
Is this UK Freshpet?
Unfortunately this dog food isnt available for Canadians.
Shame. Look for a low carb offer, then split with fresh foods is best way to go in that case. I think Origen may be 15% carbs, the next best.
@@DanScott1 thank you Dan .
@@denisethomson7685 Your welcome.
Karna 4. is the only kibble that I feed my dog! it is the best in Canada and its made in Canada not china where most kibble is made from God knows what!
True, a better option that's for sure. I still recommend adding some live fresh foods to it. Reduce 30% and replace with eggs, canned sardines and part cooked and blended veggies for live enzymes, fresh foods and more health benefits that kibble alone.
I very much wish I could afford this dog food, I feed part orijen and part cooked fresh frozen, butternut box.
I believe orijen was taken over last year by some big name, no doubt the quality will go downhill.
Orijen is pretty good ATM. Yes it may change, will see. Your mix makes the difference, fresh additions to the diet are important.
You state in the video the first three ingredients in the kibble should be animal based but the ketona dog food you are promoting has peas as its second ingredient, not an animal product.
It's the third ingredient. Yes, it's 7% or so. It's because the 1st ingredient has huge protein concentration. So basically it's 46% total protein, 90% of which is animal based and way higher than any other kibble on the market (even after taking out the pea protein). And super low carbs at 5% (so important) and no-one else uses low carbs!
Looks like they have peas, and ingredient split.
Peas are small percentage of the protein as I stated. Whats the ingredient split? I'll take a look, thanks.
They have no puppy food.
They? Ketona? The kibble is small, puppy sized.
The are NO healthy kibble on the market. Feed your dog what dogs eat, raw meat and bones.
Yes, I agree.
Bones pierced the esophagus of 2 of my mom's dogs. Don't give bones.
@@DD-ee2nv Cooked bones should never go near a dog. Raw meaty bones well covered in meat are ok with a well 'bone mannered' dog.
