Happy Purrsday! Yes, this is the fun channel. Puzzle Guy is for no fun. LOL (I hope this one doesn't get deleted)
Ed, I wore my Grumpy shirt for my next video. My wife often says the same thing!
The Meat Is Magic folks would flip over this food! Definitely a good food for a dog destined for renal or urinary issues. Probably not great for a high energy dog but great for an older couch potato.
You also need a “meat is magic” x tshirt too!
The first thing Amber said was this is NOT a debate about feeding vegan. Merely a review of this particular food. You get two minutes in the penalty box for "interference" LOL You want a vegan pet, get a kwazy wabbit!
This was interesting, thank you for sharing. I'm a vegan but I do not feed my dog and especially not my two cats a vegan diet. Honestly, my dog is so picky it's not even an option if I wanted it to be. If I don't mix canned and/or a bit of cooked chicken/egg into his kibble he won't touch it. He's obsessed with fresh meat!!
Hi!! I discovered your channel today!! After analyzing this food, would it be a good choice for a senior dog? I have never thought about feeding my dog a vegetarian diet but it make me wonder. My Veterinarian said my oldest dog (10 y/o) has slightly elevated liver values and that lower fat and protein might be a diet to think about (not my Vets exact words). I have watched several videos today - in search for a nutritional healthy for my dogs. And wondered about this food option. Thank you for your professional unbiased input! I’ll keep watching more videos on my dog food quest!

i think Gather Vegetarian food is way better
its organic and at least won't overburden the liver with Pesticide residues
Could you possibly touch on if Large Breed Dogs need Large Breed food past 1 year old. Also could you review Hills Large Breed Adult, Hills Perfect Digestion and Hills Healthy mobility.
No need just follow adult standards, all concerns regarding growth are done by 9-12 monthd
Awesome video! I can’t imagine feeding my dog a vegan diet! If possible can you review Stella and chewys dog food, I’ve heard lots of controversy around them
I think I looked into them and all the options were raw and I couldn’t get behind the processing so I didn’t look at it any further
Is there an acceptable % that is acceptable in an adult dog food for carbohydrates? A version of science diet I am looking at says it has 53.9% of carbohydrates on a dry matter basis. Seems high
There has been no established upper end to carbs in the dog. With that said carbs up to 60% have been found to be safe and effective, and necessary energy source. Specific minimum requirements change base on lifestage and activity level. I recommend reading SACN starting on page 66 for a more in depth explanation. But to answer your question, 53.8% is not considered high based on the published data.
Dr. Rea do hydrolyzed diets work? I’m just curious of their success rate. But with that said I know all pets are different. Thanks in advance for your time.
Yes they do, if utilized after a proper diagnosis
Ashley, hydrolyzed diets work the best for food allergies. No guessing protein sources, no waiting 12 weeks for results, no chance of the pet eventually reacting to the new protein over time.
Is this a good dog food for a dog who has pancreatitis flare ups, and has itchy reaction to chicken?
that question would be best directed at the vet who manages your pet for pancreatitis.
Speaking of harmful insecticides that are used on plants. LOL With warmer weather coming, any thoughts on doing an update to your video on flea and tick meds? "Safe and effective? Flea and tick meds from top to bottom" from about eight months ago?
No changes really
Aren’t these minimums and maximums though on the guaranteed analysis so not the actual numbers? Can we really use the minimums and maximums to score? Like the fat number is 8.0 minimum so below optimal but could the actual number put it in optimal range?
Yes, addressed in the video, it’s statistically insignificant to go into detail in the video, but feel
Free to further investigate on your own volition
@@AnimalDocReaoh okay. I loved how you used to investigate and give the exact numbers and I was surprised to see how much they actually varied sometimes and that you couldn’t just go by the guaranteed analysis numbers. You taught me something I had no clue about before that I thought was pretty important but now your saying it’s insignificant so I guess I’m just confused and I’m not sure if it’s important or not to look further than the guaranteed analysis.
I was just brushing on this topic and since it was likely to be systematically insignificant I didn’t get the exacts but if this food intrigues you…. Yes you should get exacts.
Happy Purrsday! YT keeps deleting my comment. No sense of humor.
Happy Purrsday
Happy purrsday to you
@@AnimalDocRea I came home from work today and my dog had pulled some hair out of her backside, Lucky my vet could take her in for cytopoint shot and anal gland expression. I don't think its food allergy but I started feeding her Craving Cricket the marketing says highly digestible, and she really liked it. I started the cricket food 2 months ago when her anal glands were last done. First I tried the treats then food she loves it. I found this channel looking for cricket craving review. I have learned so much from you! I feel better about the cytopoint shot after you explaining things. Thank you
