  • @ellietobe
    @ellietobe 5 років тому +138

    When we brought home a tiny 12 week old puppy a few years ago she refused to eat any commercial pet “food.” I went searching online for information on pet food. The pet food corporations provide zero information about where they source their ingredients or how those ingredients are processed. I did finally find Susan’s website and found some other interesting sites.
    People should take note that over the past 50 years over 60% of industry in the US has changed from being owned by individual companies to being owned by mega corporations that own multiple entities of various types of industries. These huge corporations have a huge amount of influence on just about every aspect of our lives. Most importantly, they have been able to “buy” influence in all the major political parties as well as so many other influential entities. Money IS power. It is these “special interests” who pay the majority of the expenses for major political campaigns. Illegal? No. We have laws about campaign finance contributions but then there are also the “super pacs” that can be formed that are not effected by those laws. It’s a huge hoax on the American people. We have the appearance of fair elections but the fact it that these “special interests” have been telling us who we get to vote for over the past several decades. Government agencies have gotten so huge and out of control that it is now the agencies that make the rules rather than the elected officials that supposedly protect the people. The FDA is a major offender. It is the billion dollar pet FEED industry that tells the FDA what ingredients they will approve and how processing will take place. Pet food is actually classified as feed and you better know that the livestock that you consume is nothing like the livestock that Americans consumed 50 years ago. They are now confined in filthy buildings making antibiotics, hormones, and other “medications” necessary on a regular basis. Steroids are used to bulk up the animals and slow down certain diseases. Genetically modified grains (that are banned in most other civilized countries) are fed to the livestock instead of the grass that animals once consumed NATURALLY. All these chemicals and “medications” stay in the flesh of the livestock and we and our pets consume it. You will not find a wild animal with cancer or heart disease unless it has some source of human or pet feed. If your pet itches a lot and you cannot find the source....many of the antibiotics used on livestock cause allergic reactions in dogs. Those antibiotics, along with many of the other dangerous medications, remain in the flesh of the livestock and can effect those who consume it. The commercial “food” that pet owners feed their pets have had the natural nutritional value cooked out of it. But even before that these corporations use the lowest quality ingredients. Yes, those blueberries may be in there but those are the berries that were squashed and rotting and the human food companies could not salvage. The “meat” is actually the lowest quality parts of the animal that has sat long enough to be foul. Animals that died before slaughter and diseased animals are just a couple of the horrid things approved by the FDA for pet “feed.” Other low grade organic materials are also approved. This is just one of the reasons that the ingredients must be cooked at such high temperatures. There are high quantities of harmful bacteria in those ingredients. The scam on the American people and their pets goes on and on. If you took the time to read actual proven facts on Susan’s website: truthaboutpetfood.com you would hardly believe your eyes. There are other sites available as well but Susan has taken the time to attend the actual pet food association meetings with the FDA and has the firsthand information.
    I began cooking food for our little puppy. It turned out she knew what was best for her because that kibble that we had tried to feed her was garbage even though it was sold as a “high quality” pet food.
    The pet food industry’s number one concern is the bottom line that the board of directors see. They want “feed” that can be easily transported and that can sit on a shelf in a storehouse and in the store for months and even years.
    Most of those synthetic vitamins and minerals used to bump up the nutritional value of this over processed garbage are processed in China. Because vitamins and minerals are not considered actual food that fact does not have to be disclosed. Most human supplements sold in the US are the same deal. Processed in China. China has the lowest paid labor force in the world (with India and other third world countries not far behind) and can under bid any western service. Much of the frozen fish sold in the US is now processed by China out on barges way out in the ocean. (Think about the human rights disaster that is) China was able to under bid and put out of business a large percentage of American fish processing plants.
    Our pets, just like our people, are being slowly poisoned by these huge corporations that now control the food supply. You will not hear about this in the corporate owned media which is also controlled by these “powers that be.” Corporations that own pet food companies also own multiple other types of businesses. The American people walk around in an almost totally controlled environment. It is an environment made and controlled by those at the top of the corporate ladder.

      taste of the wild is a high quality dog food but states nowhere the welfare of their meat last time I checked so likely uses factory farmed chicken. You will find wild animals with cancer and heart disease but due to natural selection there isn't that many. I live in the uk not usa but we have pretty decent pet foods here and around europe. Have orijen/acana worked for you? They are the only good brand I know thats in the us, here we got yarrah, lilys kitchen, yora and bozita. www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/shopping-guide/dog-food talks over issues, I don't want to feed a vegan/vegetarian diet since I eat meat and I find thats a little unfair even though its more ethical.

      Totally agree with you. Since one of my babies get sick this year with kidney failure, I have read and research all I can about dry dog food. And I was shocked by what I've found! Every single thing you said is truth and is so painful to me realize that I have been poisoning and harming my beloved dogs with this shitty products. And I'm so angry at the vets I've gone all this years because the primary interest on those mf is to sell their products and give a dam about the health and life of all the animals they attend. The animal industry, since schedule of the universities until a bag of kibble, almost everything corrupt and owned by the big corporations.

Needless to say, she ate every bit of the real food and left every piece of the kibble. She has spoken. There's my answer. Thanks for all you do.

    • @kangaroo4144
      @kangaroo4144 Місяць тому

      I have tried Carna4 and for the price. In my opinion. You shouldn't have to add anything as a topper. To be honest. My dog hates it. Eats everthing around that food. So I wasted $150. I can't even drown in liver topper. To get her to eat it.
      From a Puppy I have fed her Origen. She eats it. Ya some days I add toppers. Still a lot cheaper than Carna4.
      Recently I tried Stella and Chewy's Raw Blend. My dog actally bumps her nose on the bag. To tell me she's hungry. I put the food in the bowl, no toppers. She inhales it.
      So we can try and stuff what we want. Down our animals throats. But if they won't eat it plain. Whats the point in buying it?
      So in short. I'll never buy Carna4 again. Cause my dog doesn't like it.
      Origen, I would buy for sure. My dog likes it. I have a very health and trim dog, because of their food.
      Stella and Chewy's Raw Blend? My dog loves it.
      Maybe I mix it, with the 1/2 bag of Carna4 I'm stuck with. Hopefully she'll eat it.
      I'd love to see dog food reviews. Maybe show dogs eating the products. That they are boasting about. Cause to me, that's the most important, imho.
      Funny fact.
      Every time I drive by the Origen factory. When I'm 1/4 mile away. My girl has her upper body out the truck window. Nose in the air and smiling.

    Thank you for making this video. It is awesome!! Just one question on Carna4. What is the source of zinc in the duck's formula (shown in this video)? I have been home cooking for my dog and I have learned that it is almost impossible to have enough zinc in a recipe unless I..
    1) use beef as the main source of protein or
    2) add oyster or
    3) add zinc supplement.
    It makes sense to me that the Orijen one has zinc supplement added but it surprises me that the Carna4 one doesn't. Am I missing something here?

  • @biscaynebayfishing
    @biscaynebayfishing 2 роки тому +16

    I saw this video for the first time a few days ago, and I'm glad I did. My pup has been on Zignature dog food for a few years now and started off with the Salmon formula, and now she's on Kangaroo. It seems to me the formula has changed, because she's starting to scratch more and now has redness on her belly and under her arms and growing area. I don't give her any treats except for blue berries and her Joint treats from Glyde that contains shell fish. I'm taking her off Glyde to see if the shell fish is the problem and creating a yeast infection. All the vets want to do is give her pills that don't work like Apoquel. All Apoquel does is help stop the scratching, not fix the problem.
    I know this video is form 2019 and you mention that Orijen only has one added synthetic, (Zink). I'm looking for a new food for my pup, and don't have the time to make homemade food and considering Orijen. After further looking at their ingredients list, the list of synthetics is quite large compared to what you are claiming. Has this changed from when you first did this review? because this is a list of additives on the packaging from there original formula.
    , zinc proteinate, mixed tocopherols (preservative), vitamin E supplement, thiamine mononitrate, calcium pantothenate, copper proteinate, dried chicory root, turmeric, sarsaparilla root, althea root, rosehips, juniper berries, citric acid (preservative), rosemary extract, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Bifidobacterium animalis fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation product.
    I would like to see an updated video on these brands. Carna4 seems great, but very pricey for your average person.
    Keep up the good work!

They are so careful with their products they scan every package of food for metal contamination, they clean their machines daily, and they will tell you exactly where their ingredients come from if you ask! I highly recommend them if you're not trying to go the crazy expensive route! I will also add that Fromm has no form of customer care and used to have extremely shady business practices, they are working on it but don't be fooled!

Both of my pets gained a lot of weight on it. even if I cut their portions very small. And then they’d feel hungry all the time because the portions were so small! Maybe if you have an underweight animal I’d recommend it lol. They’ve eaten all kinds of different fresh food, canned, and kibble and nothing made them pack on the pounds like Fromm.
