I love seeing the visual aspect of the rankings It's helped me understand what to look for I feel much more educated after watching your videos!
I've never read a book so fast! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU Learning about his dogs and experiences was just the icing on the cake - bed this book through and through. We're working with our new pup and Brandon's advise was just what I needed. Wish he'd just come and train for me haha but it's good for us and happy to have this new set of tools to use on our pup.
I love your videos! I started watching your video a couple years ago and completely changed what I feed my 3 dogs. They are a lot healthier now! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything!
OMGGG YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH!!! My dog finally stopped having his upset stomach and weird behaviors with his food. Ty for suggesting these! Could you tell me more about the NULO dog food?
Love these ranking videos and love your channel 😊
Love your vids! Addicted to this channel so much valuable information! Keep up the good work! Also is Fromm gold adult dog food good to feed?
Thanks for watching!
Hi! I just found your videos and I love them! I was wondering if it would be possible to do a tier list of dog food subscriptions (i.e., The Farmer's Dog, Tailored Pet, etc,.)
I’m so glad I found your channel! I recently became a certified pet nutritionist and after everything I’ve learned, my cat is off all dry foods and is only fed canned food (weruva, PureVita, Fromm, Fussie Cat, or Open Farm), and raw food or gently cooked!
What do you recommend for a 7 year old shih-tzu? I was curious if I could have a dry food, with a dif brand wet food on top, but not all of it, as well as incorporating goat milk etc, please share your thoughts
The meal plan you have used as an example is a great option!
I would love to see rating petco food now! Specifically wet ones! I’m also confused if I should switch my dog to senior formula since he turned 11, my vet told me that it’s up to me
I literally appreciate your videos soo much! You have helped make me such a better dog mom(switched to Orijen dog food because of a previous video you did and my pups LOVVVVVE IT and I feel so much better feeding a dog food with such good ingredients) , I’m wondering if the different varieties such as (small dog , original, etc) actually matter? I’ve noticed most of the time the ingredients are very similar.
I asked the women at the pet store I shop (Krisers Natural Pet), I asked the difference between stella &Chewy's small breed and the regular, and she said the difference is that the small breed has smaller kibble that may crumble more easily. But she said there is no difference in the ingredients. This is also a question you can email to the pet food company you use. Stella and chewys for example, responded to my inquiry within just a couple of hours. 🖤🐾
Orijen is terrible which causes heart failure in dogs over time. The foods that vets recommend are purina pro plan science diet and royal canine. Canine nutritionist do not have the same credentials as a veterinarian nutritionist. I wouldn't listen to anything on this channel. Also stop reading pet food ingredients. ITS ALL MARKETING TO GET YOURE MONEY!!
New sub! Very informative video. Thank you for your recommendations.
I would love to see this kind of video ranking Petco foods. I would also love to see a review on Orijen grain free high peotein.
Your videos are so helpful❤ at first I had one of my dogs eat Purina puppy food and my other dog authority but I did some research and I didn't like the ingredients so I decided to feed both my dogs the BIXBI brand (Lamb and chicken recipe) and they love it 👏🏻 over all the best dog food in my opinion since one of my dogs have allergies since I switched helped with the allergies and taste better! and their brand is great & also their wet food too! It's a-bit pricey but for my fur babys it's worth it 🥰
Thank you so much I was so pissed off trying to read online blogs or other things or big websites ranking food and it just felt like all of them are being bought out by the dog food companies to give them good reviews and you were being very open with your opinion and it's so easy for me to actually be like yo this is all s*** this is good. It really makes me feel that I'm giving the best food to my dogs
Love it…can we see a PetSmart tier list for canned dog food as well
Hello Skyler! Thank you for a honest review on this, do your rankings apply equally for puppies? Thank you!
Just found your channel. Love it! Any videos on how to do homemade food?
Love to see you review foods from the high end categories like Venture, Fromm, etc.
Can you review in a next video the Backcountry raw infused? Their mix with raw coated kibble and freeze- dried raw.
Love you’re videos! ❣️
Great ranking! I went with Prestine Wild Caught Salmon. My chihuahua has been eating it for two months now 😊
Omg thank you for the ss part😂 I have taken them with me to the pet store to decide on which food to buy I’ve gone to 2 stores after getting informed from you’re videos I’ve been to Petco and pet smart in Petco I found Orijen and nothing in pet smart today I’m gonna go to mudbay and see if I can find anything else including toppers I really wanna find essence but I haven’t yet💔
This was so helpful thank you so much
Hey! Love the new video :) Brief thought between Wellness and Fromm gold puppy? Thx!!!
I was most shocked that the Bixbi is cheaper than the Merrick I am currently feeding my dogs. This video has been extremely informative
Thanks for your help and info!
I LOVE your videos...and watching quite a few as we speak. Im about to get a japanese chin pup,and we care about the right food. Can you give me a couple of YOUR choices on what one to buy him as a pup...and the other as an adult. I also read that chins can get hypoglycemic,if they arent eating the right food....its why i ask.I'd sooo appreciate it. Great videos!!
Hi! I love your videos. They are very informative. It would be so nice to get a video on dog/ puppy food for specifically small breed dogs.
Thanks for the videos because of them I switched my 7 month old bull terrier to Essence and we top the kibble with fruits and veggies you can already see a difference in just 2 months. THANKS AGAIN
That is awesome!
Could u do a ranking on the grain friendly First Mate dog food? I would love to see it if u do a part 2!
Hey. Love your content. Used to feed my dogs orijin and decided to check out other brands. What are your thoughts on Teepee Grain Free 80/20 dog food? It's uk brand. Recently came across it. Are you planning to make videos about cold pressed dog food?
My dogs were always super thirsty and not super interested in eating dry food plus some behavior issues even after 2 years of training. After watching a bunch of your videos I decided to just get a recipe from the vet and cook for them. It is definitely so much more work, costs $150/month more, and had to buy a mini freezer just for them but my dogs are much less thirsty and LOVE eating. The behavior issues are kind of non existent now!
Thank you for making these informative videos from our home❤️.
Hi, if we follow the correct recipe for our pets, this is a very healthy choice , for them. Check out DR. Karen Becker@ NilooZa
@@Just_Lurking8 I love Dr. Becker! Read the Forever dog earlier this year. Awesome book.
@@Niloo1395 Yes, so when we get educated, I feel so guilty for what everyone is feeding their pets…
@@Just_Lurking8 Oh I totally agree. It’s changed the way I think of the world. Most people love their pets like family but one single mistake of trusting a food company can ruin their pets’ health.
Thank you for your videos they’ve helped a lot with our new puppy! I would appreciate if you could review Nulo dog food. There isn’t any detailed and recent videos on nulo.
Thank you! Would you add Pet Supplies Plus / Wag n Wash pet store dog and cat foods to a review? Love your content!
Hi Skylar. Love your vids! About the Wellness in the Hell Yeah category. I bought a few bags and there aren’t 5 meat ingredients. My bags look identical but only lists Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, then oatmeal, peas and brown rice. No Turkey at all.
Is it still a Hell Yeah do you think?
I would love to see a best priced video from the “Oh, hell yeah!“ category. Like a top 5 best priced in that category. We really wanna up our game but within our budget :/
For working retrievers, I feed the highest fat, highest protein kibble on the market: Red Paw Poweredge 32k. First ingredient is menhaden. A favorite kibble among mushers up here in interior Alaska. Expensive but worth it...525 kcal/cup.
Enjoying your videos. How do you rank Fromm brand?
Thank you
Lover your reviews. Based on an earlier video of yours, I have used Karna 4 and Essence for my babies. I add my home made bone broth, a spoon of fresh pumpkin and some raw topper to each meal. How do the Chef's Kiss products listed here compare with the Chef Kiss products in your earlier video where Karna 4 and Essence were listed?
I’ve been feeding my pit mix Wellness for years! I always get compliments on his shiny coat. So relieved to see it’s a good brand!
Hello tattooed dog trainer! Thank you for your informative videos. They bring a great help to me and my dog. I would love to see one with Petco! Thank you !!!!
Would love to see a ranking video for tractor supply dog kibble ! Definitely having a hard time choosing
I would love to see a video for generic brand dog foods, like Target’s Kindfull brand, Meijer’s True Goodness, etc! Gotta find good dupes!
Alyson baby 😍 where u been all my life
@@secredeathbruh are you serious
Hiii, this is most definitely a long shot. However, I’ve been watching your videos religiously to learn more about the best food for my puppy! My puppy is 8 weeks old (eating Purina UCK), I went to the pet store and got “Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused Puppy” and cannot find any information from a reliable source on if this is a good food for her. I also got the “Instinct Raw Topper” for her as well from your advise! That was the only raw topper I could find! Could you do a review on Backcountry possibly?? I would LOVE to know more information, I cannot find any😩
Would happily watch a Petco ranking! And if you could cover Nulo and Solid Gold wet foods
Been feeding my maltese wellness for 9 years, shes 11 now and you couldn't tell, great brand of food and she loves it in any iteration.
Thank you so much for your videos! Never met smth sooodetailed and well explained on dog food! Do you have smth on cold-pressed food? Is it generally better than just dry food? I have read reviews and people write that dogs poop less and poops are smaller and a lot of dogs get better hair and weight on cold pressed. What is your experience? Love, x
Was wondering what your thoughts/opinions are on the Open farm brand?! I just bought my first bag for my cats and they do dog food as well.
I would LOVE to see a ranking video for commercial raw/fresh foods. I feed my pups FreshPet (specifically the multi-protein formula) but if there's a better option I can afford I'd gladly look into it.
I generally love fresh pet for it's ease of buying & use, my issue is the amount of times I've found mould in it fresh from the store 😭
I second this!
Just buy regular grocery store ingredients
The ingredients low tier in my opinion. I’d recommend apupabove or open farm or small batch for gently cooked and smallbatch, Steve’s real food, primal, tuckers, northwest naturals (I could keep going) for raw food. Hope this helps!
@@WuzzupItsSunni What do the prices look like?
Thank you so much for the insigh,t lesson learned.
Do you have a video that talks about peas/lentils being linked to DCM? How do you feel about them as an ingredient as a pet nutritionist? Would love to hear your opinion!🥰
Would love to see a ranking video for brands of fresh and raw diets for dogs.
Thank you for sharing! Do you know if these product brand; Ishkan and Bowwow Origi7 from Korea are great for dog?
I can’t believe I watched a 35 minute video about dog food. Great job and my dog thanks you.
I know this is an older video but ive been looking on giving my dog better pet food and have been looking at the Wellness brand do you think it would be better for them than purina? and thank you so much for tier list :)
Hello, I love watching your pet nutritionist videos but my country has none of these.
We have Smartheart, Jerhigh, Earthborn, Taste of the wild, Pedigree, Royal Canin, Iams and Purina.
Which is the best for my dog?
Please do a video ranking raw pet food companies for those of us who aren't able to make their own. Thank so much for your informative content!
I'm currently working on a new ranking system just for this concept! I have yet to find a commercial raw food that would rank below Oh Hell Yeah!
@@TheTattooedDogTrainer there are just SOOO many different companies and I'm new to the Raw feeding world so it's very overwhelming.
Was looking at the Nutro today, looks like it’s been updated. The updated list is now Chicken, chicken meal, whole grain barley, split peas, brewers rice.
What would you rank American Natural Premium? Duck and pork meal. I appreciate your ranking!! Just started GOATS MILK!!!! Love your videos, great value 👏 I appreciate you!
Great info. Any info on First Mate dry kibble out of BC Canada. Thanks
Can you make a tier list of all types of the dog foods like an overall rating for raw, wet, & dry compared to each other like this video?
Amazing! Thanks 🤝
Make another video I’m happy I found you…you are a big help
Have you given a review of Open Farm or Stella & Chewy?? My dog does not like dog food but seems to like these brands in the freeze dried. I mix a little kibble with it along with pumpkin.
Can you please please rank commercial raw food!! I’m just starting to learn for my cats and want to incorporate convenient more cheap stuff asap while I learn more about making raw recipes. There’s the freeze dried, toppers/mix ins, and also the pre made grounds like darwins or viva raw, maybe pre made would be a separate video. I want both!
QUESTION! First of all thank you so much for the video. We have three dogs that have been doing great on Castor and Pollux dog food for years and years. One of our dogs lived to 17 on this food healthily, we have a 15-year-old pup who has eaten nothing but Castor and pullox and she is going strong and still chasing squirrels with no meds or dysplasia or anything.. Now they’ve discontinued our dog food, 😢 we have a few bags we’ve hoarded, but are looking for good parallel to that dog food. Do you have any suggestions?
Please please do a video on Veterinarian pet foods like Hills, Canin, etc. thanks!
I'd love to see a video specifically for puppy food!!
I've been studying animal nutrition for years as well. One thing here I don't like here is your ranking of the Liberty food. Can't forget that the chicken as the first ingredient is by weight before the cooking process, so I suspect the lentils is probably the first ingredient by weight as a finished product. Still better than most I guess, but as an exclusive DIY raw feeder, I have a hard time praising ANY kibble. Great content for kibble feeders to do better, and I have shared some of your videos on my FB page.
I would love to see a video on prescription dog food brands
please make more of these video's!!!! there are hundreds of new dog food brands
100% agree. I could watch these all day. 🐾
Where would you place Eukanuba?
We had a Husky and Golden who we fed Eukanuba to. We are bringing home an Irish Setter in two weeks and I have been searching for someone to rate Eukanuba to see if I should continue with the new pup.
Can you do a tier list on dental treats? Please
Can you PLEASE do a ranking video of all the LIMITED INGREDIENT dry (and wet canned) dog foods? Many dogs have allergies, and are switching over to these diets in record numbers, according to my vets. Thank you!
We switched to Orijen after one of your videos and have improvements with allergy issues.
So glad to hear that!
Can you go to Walmart and rank their food? I'm more specifically wondering about the Pure Balance Pro+ Puppy.
May you do one for the puppy stage!?!
Can you please review wellness core raw rev and whole hearted active performance and blue wilderness
I agree with your ranking on the wellness core dog food… to me it’s the best dog food because my dog grew pretty big in a short amount of time!
I watched your other video on dry dog food, and I have a question for you. I looked up Carna4 to get some for my puppy, but there is no puppy recipe. Is it okay if puppies eat dog food?
My family has 3 senior & special needs pom mixes and my partner has a husky. All 3 poms have bad poultry allergies. One also has alopecia & can't digest red meats. He's 18 yrs old and has been allergy tested multiple times throughout his life. We mostly have to stick to fish & insect proteins and vegetarian dog food like V Dog or WildEarth. Hell be 19 in April and is doing amazing. We also supplement with additional fresh fish, brown rice & veggies
Trying to find a video where you include acana. Been grain free for years because of skin issues but am trying to switch back over to grains, trying out the acana lamb and pumpkin dry food
what do you think about nature's recipe's grain free salmon, sweet potato, and pumpkin recipe dry dog food
as well as their original grain free chicken, chicken & venison, and chicken & duck recipes variety pack wet dog food?
I've recently started my adult chihuahua on a diet mixing the dry and wet dog food + adding some freeze dried raw dog food as a topper (stella & chewy's meal mixers superblends and orijens' freeze dried tundra).
Yay ! An update!!
Thank you! 😊
I recently switched to Liberty based on your recommendation and just found out that PetSmart is discontinuing the product. I'm so bummed that I now have to transition my dog to another food. Would love if you could do a dog food ranking for food sold at Pet Supplies Plus. Thank you.
Thank you for the unbiased video; I feel like pet food reviews and information is one of the most confounding corners of the internet. I find it so hard to trust information as they all seem to have conflicts of interest, or am I just paranoid?
Is "Tribal" or "Celtic" a better kibble? (I fed both of them to my dog, I don't have any "Celtic" food left, but I still have "Tribal" food and I don't know which one to order/buy now) My dog eats a varied diet consisting of high quality canned food, cooked meats and kibble and she is doing well. I was wondering which raw meats are safe to add to kibble and which ones aren't.
Thank you for posting these educational videos but I am still needing some help. I have a mini schnauzer, he is 3 yrs old named Arthur :) I was feeding him the Royal canine schnauzer adult food. After watching your video I have now ordered the Royal canine and the liberty chicken recipe small breed food to mix together. I did check the ingredients on the Royal canine and I feel like from the ingredients you wouldn’t recommend it because the chicken is the 6th ingredient which I find sus too but so many vets have recommended it and I’m just kinda confused too because I guess schnauzers have fatty blood and have pancreatitis issues so I’m hoping to get some guidance from you about this if possible. I just want my dog to be healthy
I would love to see the can food ones!
I believe I've watched all of your videos and I've never seen you mention Instinct products, especially the Raw Boost line and their frozen Raw Bites. Any particular reason why?
Great video! I would love if you did a cat version :)
Awesome video! Can you also provide prices for 10 or 22 pd bags
Would it be safe to assume getting one of the “Oh Hell Yea” in the small breed version is a good option?? If not it’d be awesome to get some small breed rankings!
What do you think about diamond natural grain free kibble
I have a question work freeze dried and air dried dog food do these food need to be rehydrated with something before giving to dog if it is of the shelf at petstores?
Hello! I really like your educated dry dog food rankings. I want to ask have you considered doing one for Petco? Unfortunately, my little pug/bulldog baby has some allergies. He’s excessively licking his paws. I feed him blue buffalo wet dog food and now I’m noticing in the blue buffalo wild dog food has a lot more negative than positives. I didn't know that rice may cause inflammation. I want to buy him the best quality food. Exactly what you say “no fillers, chemicals, or by products etc.”
Please make a video on rendering and kibble and ultra processing.
Hi in any of your videos do you review the brand whole hearted ?
I’d love to hear your opinion on Canidae. We recently switched to their Pure salmon and sweet potato recipe. I’ve noticed that the kibble has changed in shape and in color. It used to be much smaller and darker. I haven’t looked to compare ingredient panels from the old to newer batches as I no longer have the old bags. I’ve spent countless hours deciding on what to feed our 3 bulldogs. Now that I thought I found one they went and switched up the kibble. Tell me I’m not crazy lol
Blessings and hey I understand what your saying, I just started the same canidae also a few days ago, so far my dogo likes it, needed something to help with her allergies and sensitive stomach and skin, will see what happens, God Bless
Please review Natures logic Distinction!! Maybe vs Carna4. There is a huge price difference between the Canadian and American food with a similar formula although I know Natures Logic is extruded but they use dried ingredients to preserve all the nutrients. Thanks!
