Yeah. I agree. My dog eats some kibble, some canned, some raw, some home cooked. She’s 14-15 years old, with no health issues.
The quality of human food has dramatically decreased so it's safe to assume that our pets' food quality has decreased, as well. Hence the reason for all the sickness and disease in both humans and pets. When I was a child, we never heard of a diabetic dog or a dog with allergies.
Yeah I'm 68and growing up back in the day I never saw a bag of dog food.They ate what we ate.Beagles and Malamutes.Never sick and never vaccines.
It's all the vaccines.
🎯 both comments.
My dog has been on raw food for 4 years.. I buy it from butchers or supermarket.. meat, bone, heart.. a little green tripe, liver & kidneys.. he’s never had an upset stomach.. poo is always well formed.
In fact, rejecting jabs & flea/tick & worm medication and turning to raw has been the best thing for his health
We just feed our 3 Alaskan Malamutes human grade raw meat which we also make our meals with. They eat exactly what we eat but raw. What is not safe is people depending on processed food and not knowing what exactly we consume. Times need to change and Dr. Jones you are changing them through natural options. We do have choices so why not explore them without fear. Our 3 Alaskan Malamutes are being fed on biologically appropriate raw food which is much healthier for them and cheaper for us to buy. We have been feeding our dogs past & present on the BARF diet for 19 years and have been to the vets a handful of times in that amount of time. Being scared to take control of our own lives has left the consumer powers that be to influence us to believe what they sell. Thanks Dr. Andrew Jones for your commitment to educate the masses.
Yes, wild dogs eat meat, sometimes several days old. Dogs are Carnivores, and I don't think grains, vegetables, or fruit is appopriate in their diet. They would eat very little in the wild, unless they were starving and hadn't killed an animal to eat. My dog used to catch and eat rabbits, and all that would be left is the fur and the head. Just like humans, dogs are almost 95% Carnivores.
100% agree, I lost 3 dogs to cancer, I realised the common factor and changed to exactly what you do. Best decision ever!
Other than raw meat are there any dry dog foods you recommend?
No. None.
BUB: WELL said. We have stop eating processed food, drink filtered water (dogs too) and stop getting all these vaccines (dogs too).
I started the change in my diet
by throwing out all vegetable cooking oil.
I make my own dog food, quality Beef, chicken, Turkey and LIVER!!!! Toss in a can of Sardines, 3 kinds of fruit and. large can of pumpkin. Carrots, Squash, Broccoli, sweet potato, sometime green beans..... A tiny bit of brown rice. They love it and it is cheaper than poisoned kibble❤
Don't forget a calcium source like eggs and ground organic eggshells or bone meal. Also seweed kelp for trace minerals. I make the same.
How do you make it bonzibonnie, in a crockpot, pressure cooker, etc. Also what 3 fruits do you add. I have 2 in mind-cranberries and blueberries perhaps? Also do you use all 3 proteins as ingredients at one time. And when you say a large can of pumpkin, is it the standard size can or the really large one usually right next to the standard size. I really appreciate and thank you in advance for your help and look forward to your response 😊❤
@@donnafernandez3712can you make this in a large quantity and freeze it? I have two big dogs. Cooking twice a day could be tricky. I use kibble..expensive kibble but I'm getting the impression kibble is kibble. I'm learning. Thank you!
@@donnafernandez3712dont feed your dogs more then a couple tablespoons of pumpkin at each meal Google it she is probably making a week's or few weeks or months worth, also washed egg shells or bone meal for calcium also you can order or watch a video from this dr on vitamin supplements his I'd I believe one a day or meal
Seems like you are overdoing the squash (pumpkin, sweet potato, and also squash). Why so much squashy foods? What fruits do you use?
Dogs used to live to be 30 years old, back before dog food companies came out with dog food. In the 1800s and early 1900s what did they eat back then, raw meats and organs from cattle, sheep, and goat farmers and hunters and fishermen plus table scraps. I am personally going back to that with my two German shepherds because I want my dogs to live to be 30 like in days of old. Dog food companies are way too greedy and have ruined our trust in them. The fact that they make dogs die way before their time now is all the proof I need. love your videos thanks for the good work
Amazing how they're worried about the bacteria in raw food, when dogs sit around licking their butt!
and the samonella scares are because it can make the human sick not the dog. Just washing hands will kill the samonella.
And any butt they can lolol
😂😂😂😂😂
I’d never give my dog Ol’ Roy, the cheapest kibble out there. Or any commercial dog food. I cook human-grade food for my dogs.
I agree with this 1000%! I've seen Ol' Roy take a good dog to where he was skin and bones. And uncontrollable diarrhea....
I know people who work at the local pet food plant. They make a lot of store brands. Ol' Roy has the lowest quality specs of all the brands they produce.
15 years ago when i got my first dog, i had no clue about dog food ingredients or anything. I unfortunately fed ol'roy to my puppy/dog for the first year or 2 of her life. I eventually got educated and gradually fed her better and better food.
She died at the age of 13 about 3 years ago. My new dog just switched to raw.
I’m going on 20 years incorporating raw! Never had any contamination or illness
We've fed our two dogs 100% raw food (mainly organic) since they were puppies...one is now 12yrs old and the other is 9yrs old. They have both been unbelievably healthy all their lives, beautifully toned, no fatty lumps etc. We'd never feed them anything else! Our vet certainly hasn't made much money out of our dogs.
I have a 4 month old Labrador, did you supplement with vitamins? I’ve been scared into not feeding real food 100% due to possible lack of vitamins.
My dogs eat chicken, pumpkin puree, sweet potatoes, carrots, veggies, refrigerated cooked rice., eggs. They are so healthy.
Do you cook these ingredients together? Do you prepare a large amount for more than one meal? I have two large dogs and I'm ready to learn how to not do kibble.
Same here for my dog and dogs over 40 years never had health issues 👍❤️🇬🇧
Kibble is ultra highly processed "convenience" junk food for dogs!..I keep hearing about health issues of owners dogs sadly when I see them to talk to, and they tell me the vets put them on these kibble fad diets like hills🙄🤣of no benefit and expensive with no results.
I say to them why don't you home cook their food its ? healthier dog!.
Replies I don't have time..lazy!
I don't know how to do it?..ignorance learn it's not brain science!
Its probably too expensive...it's not.its mostly cheaper than buying 12 kg bag kibble paying £60+which is crap, or paying much less half that for even worse cardboard crap, which is crap!
@@Regi254. Hi regi🙂 here's how to make some easy home cooked homemade healthy meals for your dog..
1/Boil water first in 2 separate large crocks enough to fully cover chicken legs then cook boil simmer 4-5 kilos of chicken legs casseroles for 1 HR 10 mins,make sure chicken is fully cooked no pink meat showing that you can see,drain off water be very careful very hot water and heavy 😲then let cool down in casseroles outside and cover netting stop any flies or put in cool dark place closed in.
Now Strip off all chicken skin discard,de bone chicken being very careful of small bones difficult to see!
Put stripped chicken meat into containers put bottom fridge coldest part min 3-4c.
You can keep up to 4 days.
2/Next large pan water boil up add 2 large Sweet potatoes
peel and dice up into chunks,boil water and Cook 15mins until soft,drain cool down and mash up,put in container fridge .
3/Do the same with 4 large carrots same method.
4/Next large pan water boil up add 500g+ of frozen long green beans or more depend size dog ect simner about 7 mins drain cool down put into container fridge .
5/Pan water boil up, add 4 large eggs simmer cook 10 mins,drain cool down put in fridge .
Btw you can use the egg shells a source calcium!,put them in oven on tray low heat and bake 15 mins then take out and crumble into powder add to dogs food.
6/Brown Rice 200g wash through clean with water twice ,cook it up(no salt!) I use a rice cooker,let cool then put into container fridge.
7/Tins of sardines in sunflower oil I give my dog a GSD 48 kg 1 can a day rich in omega 3 & 6 oils mixed in food.
Yes it takes a few hours+ to cook prepare but if you make a batch for 4 days then not so bad👍☺️🐕❤️🇬🇧
To vary the meat protein diet I will alternate this diet and buy 3 kilos fresh beef mince human grade,cook it in a large casserole pot until brown and thoroughly cooked then drain out all most of the fat which will be a lot, leave a bit for taste flavour and dogs do need some fat in their diet,let cool put into containers fridge.
You can also use turkey mince also as alternative meat protein.
Btw fresh herbs can be sprinkled mixed with dogs food too, rosemary, basil,marjoram.
Alternate veggies can use light boiled short time spinach,rich in iron,brocolli remove stalks just heads.
Hope this helps you?, it not hard but basic cooking like you would do for you or family!
Good luck and hope this helps you to cook healthy meals for your 🐕❤️🇬🇧
@@Morticia855Nice! Why remove the broccoli stalks?
VCA is owned by Mars Candy, Corp. They also own Royal Canin. Mars controls 43% of all pet food sales. Hill's nutritionists say corn is good for dogs and cats. I say corn is used to fatten hogs. Not what I want to feed my cats.
Exactly and they put all these fillers and poison in these dog foods and then charge a fortune for them
My vet says corn isn't good for them so my chi gets none
@@loisrussell3649 There is a brand of cat litter that uses corn and wheat. Just like Hill's expensive cat food.
Omg I love this guy 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶he’s honest and factual!!! Best advice on here for anyone looking for dog food 101
I'm the grandma to an English Mastiff and he was raised on a grassfed raw diet for the first year of his life and there was never an issue with it. He still gets plenty of raw, but also some Honest Kitchen, Orijen and grassfed beef/bones/organs raw by Stella and Chewy.
I thank God for you Dr. Andrew. You are heaven sent & a blessing.
I have been giving my Labrador raw dog food for over 10 years and another dog I had to put down with Cushing disease was over 15 years old, and she had raw food for 14 of those years. Both dogs have never had worms or salmonella. I worry more about my Labrador eating garbage off the ground or kibble of any kind. They get raw food with organ meats, veggies like carrots and spinach raw eggs with crushed up egg shells, fish slightly cooked...plus the big dog can eat any live game he can catch. Most Vets need to let go of this notion that raw is bad for pets. They should send their profitable inventory of kibble back to their supplier for a refund. Most people cooking chicken or turkey for their family knows how to handle raw food. Vets are putting profits ahead of healthy pets and stop using scare tactics to increase their sales.
Absolutely true!!
Is it expensive to feed raw? What do you give them? I have a 10 yo border collie and a 2 yo lab mix.
@@ReneeW59get yourself a copy of this booklet Raw Dog Food by Carina Beth MacDonald. It's great, easy to follow and walks you through all the aspects. For me it made changing to this so easy. I have never looked back, everyone thinks my dog is 2-4 yrs old but he'll be 12 next March. Still loving life and trotting with the others. I just wish I had found the book and started earlier, I might have saved 1 of the 3 dogs I lost to cancer!
@@ReneeW59It's not really expensive. A bag of good kibble can cost $80.
You can buy a family pack of chicken legs/wings or beef, some carrots, blueberries and feed them for less than around $35.
Not really true. My dog eats what we do, only no spices or food that will hurt her. She does get some raw food every now and then. Wild dogs, absolutely have the stomach to properly kill things off. Our dogs? Well, their dna has changed quite a bit. They have been bred to have better temperaments, the more desirable traits. I lived near 4 coyote dens. The pups can be mean as well. Our pups? Sweet as sugar most of them. That's why a lot of stray dogs do not make it. They stave to death. Or eat rocks. Wild dogs do not do that. They hunt mice and rats if there is nothing. So, no, he is correct. While they're similar, it doesn't mean they're the same. But what does he know, he only went to school and studied this.
I read once that grapes and raisins became toxic to dogs when the growers started using fluoride based pesticides on them. That up until a few decades ago, people used raisins as training treats and dog treats with no problems. Anyone else ever heard of this?
I have been advised since a long time ago by my vets to not give grapes or raisings to dogs. Other people share the same opinion coming from their ien vets. Its one if those things in which the animals I care for will not serve as testing specimens. Not need to push when they can take other fruits or dried fruits or homemade snacks/ prizes.
I had heard that the poisonous part of the grape was the seeds.
I unwittingly gave my cocker spaniel grapes whenever I had them myself. She developed kidney failure and had to be euthanized.
Regarding grapes: please also never let your dog eat currants. They are the same family as grapes. My pomeranian ate a few currants that had fallen off a bush in my garden. I shooed her away from it, but didn't think twice about it. The next day she was seriously ill and was hopitalized for 3 days. Even most of the staff at this emergency vet hospital didn't know about currants. I was always very careful to not let my dog eat a list of about 10 foods that are toxic to dogs. Well, she was deemed as recovered, but it set in motion a long slow decline from chronic kidney failure. She was fine for a couple of years, though she tested as having rather high protein in her urine. The last two years she became increasingly ill. It was such a tragedy, because she'd been a very happy, healthy, active dog until she ate the currants.
I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing it may save another dog.
Aww I’m sorry. Thank you sharing.
A long long time ago I fed my dog Pedigree and he got so sick and couldn't stop throwing up. Thanks to you Dr. Jones we all know better now.
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
steeabella, Hopefully your dog is doing fine now. My dog's been eating Pedigree dry as half his meal servings every day for 6 years. He's 10 years old, was 4 when I got him & still only has one health problem he had when I got him & they had him on diet dry dog food. He was never satisfied, always hungry, grumpy. He's been on half Pedigree dry, half whole-grain cooked oatmeal, boiled egg & real chicken with broth ever since I got him, plus his healthy snacks for hip & joints, skin & coat. He's gained some weight but is even-tempered & contented. Am just pointing out that all dogs aren't the same & neither are their digestive systems.
Un4-tunately, when we adopted our pup Rolo from the pound, Pedigree is what they gave me. Never had a d0g B4, do didn't know NE better. When he came with pancreatitis, that is wen 👁️ started researching pet f00d. Switched to cooking him real f00d....ground turkey,beef, with sweet potato. Only problem was...I kept v@cc'ing him. Didn't real-👀s the truth the. He passed N 2018...@fter I had taken him 2 a vet and they couldn't figure out what was wrong .....just charged me 700...and said he needed more "tests". Looking online, it was obvious he was hemoraghing (sp) internally....found a Chinese herb that could have helped, but he passed in my arms that night. 😢 Never trusting vets @gain. Or d0ctors either....
stellabella5269: No question commercial dog fod is not good for dogs, but Pettigree is one of the worst.
"Farmers Dog,?" I have no idea....But I know clean healthy food that I can purchase for me to eat,
and feed to my dog.
I also know the history of human vaccines, and had I known it when I was raising my children, I would never have vaccinated my children.
When I got my 5 1/2 month Shih-Poo puppy, he was vaccinated, so I have been putting a small amount of milk thistle on his morning meal to help with any liver damage from the vaccines.
There are other things I add to his raw diet to prevent mosquito bites, fleas and ticks, and parasites.
Do the research!
Nod: Me too. Those I do trust recommend what the research has verified.
For example, Mark Hyman, an M.D., that is a "functional medicine " doctor.
I follow Jason Fung, M.D.; Rashid Buttar, O.D., (deceased now) ; Dr. Tenpenny; John Cambell, M.D.
Why? Because my own research has supported what all of them teach.
Same with Vetanarians.
@@sheilasmith7779 If you lived in a mosquito infested climate like I do your dog would die from heartworms if not given preventive medicine.
Thank you for bringing awareness to the fact that euthanized pets actually get rendered back down into pet food. It's sick and disgusting what manufacturers will do to save a buck at the expense of our pets.
Welcome
We are lucky here in New Zealand to have some great raw food suppliers. They make a frozen raw mince product in multiple options including mixes that exckude the common allergens chicken and beef. We found raw through trial and error as our pup had skin and digestive issues. After 2 years on raw, he's healthy and happy. The mixes we buy include ground meat, bone and organs and tripe. Theres lot of wild meat options including rabbit possum salmon venison and goat. For salmonella etc its just the same as handling our raw meat and chicken. I wash my hands when I fikish dishing him up. Dogs digestive systems can cope with eating dead animals so frozen fresh meat can hardly cause an issue. Our vet is based directly across the road from the Raw Essentials food shop and yet they had never heard of them when I asked and didnt recommend raw. The vet waiting room has one wall lined entirely with processed kibble. Its a huge industry.
When i did the research into raw I read about a zoologist who ended up working for a guide dog training place in Australia. He was shocked by how many dogs had allergies and gradually changed all of them to a raw diet with astounding results.
We all know that over processed food is bad for us and we are enxouraged to eat as close to natural as possible for good health.
Why would animals be any different?
Great comment. The pet food industry like the human food industry is profit based, not health based, they use the cheapest ingredients they can get away with, lie about it being healthy and mark the prices up as high as they can for maximum profits. Hence the increase in cancer and chronic illness for humans and our pets.
Our local butcher makes a ground up meat, offal, bones loaf - so basically what they’d normally throw out I guess(not much fat) - you can choose chicken, lamb, or kangaroo - it is wayyyyyy cheaper than the high end dry kibble we give our dogs. Used to get Royal Canin but that’s over $200/bag now in Australia!!! That’d last us just over a week for our two large dogs. Crazy!
Now we get the dry dog food from a local fodder store. And the dogs get their raw mix 2-3 times a week.
Happy doggies!
My 7 dogs eat home cooked, instinct frozen raw, instinct dehydrated raw, Weruva pouches, and Fresh Pet, mostly. Throw in other high quality food here and there, like Honest Kitchen. I make sure they get healthy grains like oatmeal❤. They are all seniors. Ages 13 to 16. ❤
@greenize1959could you share what products you use from honest kitchen and any other high quality ingredients please. Thank you 😊
I don't think grains are appopriate for dogs. You would never see a wild dog eating oatmeal, corn, wheat, etc. Dogs are Carnivores. All my dogs have lived long, healthy lives on just meat, eggs, bones, cartlidge, and animal fat, with occassional organs added.
No grains are healthy for dogs. My frenchie eats raw as the basis of his diet, some grain free kibble, raw fish, raw egg and some cooked vegetables, occasionally a little bit of fruit, but no grain. When he accidently eats anything made from grain he gets very gassy. Grains are for mice, birds, rabbits etc.
@@sidsnyder8043 I agree, no grains for dogs, the only time they would eat grains in the wild would be the partially digested stomach content of their prey.
My last dog ate freeze dried raw food. My present dog has never eaten "traditional" dog food barring the grain free puppy kibble he ate in addition to his raw food. At around six months he stopped eating the kibble all together and has thrived on the freeze dried raw food. When he has run out of his food or has been a bit persnickety I have a vet approved recipe for raw meals that I put together myself using all organic meats and organ meats as well as
Organic veggies and berries...
I have one of the more enlightened vets who does not have an issue with raw food diets ... ❤
Would you care to share your recipe? Which freeze dried raw food do you use?
Doc, why should you never give fish? It's the only kind of dog food that doesn't cause my dogs skin allergies to flare up. Plus, omega 3s are extremely beneficial for dogs.
I might be wrong, but I think Dr. Jones was quoting another vet when he said about the fish, not that he agreed with it. My dog gets raw fish once a week and he's very healthy.
I think he was quoting other vet too - all's I know is I've been warned to go easy with fish in cats cos it doesn't contain all their nutritional requirements and can be addictive - I don't know if this is true?
Thank you for your videos. I’m glad you mentioned the “meal” as an ingredient. There’s a local food company and all their dog and cat foods’ first ingredient is (protein)meal … chicken meal, lamb meal, etc. When I asked them about it, they told me that it’s actually healthier because they use all parts of the animal. But what I’ve noticed is my dogs and cats often won’t touch it depending upon the batch.
True, but most processed dog foods are full of fillers, like different grains. I don't think grains of any kind are an appropriate food for dogs. Even vegetables and dried fruits are not necessary, as dogs are almost entirely Carnivores. They get all the nutrition they need on the muscle meat, fat, and bones of mostly ruminant animals. A dog in the wild eats almost the entire animal, even some of the bones for calcium and the cartilidge for collogan. I never had a problem with my dogs eating meat or beef, lamb, chicken and pork fat.
Meat meal could be and usually is the cheap animal left overs left on the abatoir floor like feet,eyes,testicles,heads, tails, intestines,teeth you get the point,a friend now sadly deceased who worked for an abatoir told me all this is sold to pet food manufacturing companies for meat meals dogs cats,🙈
Dogs and cats can sometimes 'sense' when something isn't right, when something is bad for them, a red flag. Could be a good to consider feeding them Dr. Jones better meal alternatives instead.
@@Earthy-Artist Every species of animals, including humans, has a species, specific diet.
@@sidsnyder8043 dogs are similar to humans, fruits and veggies are very healthy for both dogs and humans.
My husband got pedigree last month all four of our dogs got diarrhea and threw up for days. Never again! Not for any reason ever!
Nutrience is a good brand or origen or akkana
Did you follow the recommended 7 days gradual shift from one to another? If you switch in one go it’s is a known thing that the digestive system will get upset. I have dogs all my life from pure breeds to strays mix-and-match and never before did I have a problem when i switch their kibbles. Not saying that the pedigree is good or bad, just curious if you followed the recommendations?
Saving one pet at a time on UA-cam group about food poisoning in the kibble 8 brands named. Don’t use any Purina or Big box store brands.
Feeding pets commercial food is like feeding your kids McDonalds for every meal.
It's still better than starving. "Healthy" food is so expensive and eating certain foods is trendy. You can become paranoid if you listen to all these videos as everyone has a different opinion.
Actually, that’s absolutely wrong. A kibble can be formulated and cooked correctly by top board certified vet nutritionists and chemists to provide the exact balance of the nutrients your pet needs. Human processed foods are extremely unhealthy and are made just for taste, not nutrition.
@@laurelbozman6997 chicken leg quarters and pork neck bones are cheap
The same metabolic ailments in humans as in pets are caused by eating poison.
Chicken legs are cheap so are veggies so saying healthy food is expensive nope!
I've been feeding my dogs Perigee for years. Never had a problem or seen a recall on it. My dogs have all lived to be 16 or older.
Pedigree is not so bad.
I agree. Our breeder says he’s not a fan of the “fu-fu” kibble. So our Lab eats Pedigree…and you should have seen him when we brought the big yellow bag in the door! So excited!! Pedigree and Purina have been around a long time. I’ve never heard about a recall either.
Over the years, we have fed all of our dogs, all Labs, Pedigree, and each dog lived to old age and had a shiny healthy coat. Those fancy expensive brands advertised on tv have had bad recalls.
Too many people jump on the bandwagon with expensive foods or raw/cooked foods. Fine if you have money but I can only afford kibble and my pets still live long with no issues.
I got a puppy a few months ago and she got an allergic reaction to some puppy food so I took her to a local vet and established her .. he treated for the hives and we talked about food choices for her and he told me he opposes raw and if I planned to feed her raw .. I’d have to go someplace else .. 🤷♀️.. never had that happen before.. she’s a Boston terrier and I’m still trying to figure out what to feed her ..
do your own research and go with that. You know your dog best.
Ya well I was there for hives and he was talking diet and doesn’t approve of raw and apparently of people who feed raw.. he’s a really old vet too.. not that it matter I suppose .. I’ll probably drive her up to my regular vet.. I moved but it’s doable to drive her 80 miles bc I don’t care for any vets in the area I’m in ... it was a Saturday and the hives weren’t going away and she was only 4 months old and all swollen up .. that’s all I really needed him to do was treat the hives and to establish her incase of an emergency an I couldn’t get her up to my regular vet i had for 25 years and 2 other dogs who would help and guide me on how to feed her raw if I wanted…
There are holistic vets popping up all over. Traditional veterinary medicine is so out of touch with today's reality. My suggestion is you switch vets. If that's not an option, feed raw and lie to your vet. Chances are your dog will be much healthier and won't need to see a vet very often anyway. Feeding raw is your decision and if a vet cannot respect that, it's time to take your business elsewhere. Good luck.
This channel has a what i feed my dog video can’t remember the name but its good
@@straight.no.chaser1708 but is it specific for puppies? Bc I think it matters .. they need extra nutrients..

Thanks Doc , & God bless 🙏
You are such a gift to your community of pet parents!! ❤
Thank you Dr.Jones! I am sooo greatful. Your the best!
My Murphy ❤️ is a 3 1/2 year-old intact Cocker spaniel. After week six we stopped the kibble and started making his food in the crockpot. We have graduated to pressure canning pork, chicken, beef, London broil, chicken/beef liver, etc… And he gets about 3 to 4 ounces of meat, rice or potato, peas, carrots, pumpkin, apple twice a day. He is thriving wonderfully! Yes, he does get a little bit of yogurt or cheese. We stay away from salt, onion, garlic! All the best, peace
I too am very appreciative of your kindness to all your pets and to your followerstoo😊❤. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously and sincerely. what a gift Dr. Jones. I will definitely invest in your products!
I just want to thank you for all the info you give to us pet owners, to help along the journey of our pet’s lives. Many more Blessed years to you and Tula❤️🙏🏻
You are the greatest gift to all of us 🐾🐾🌟
Love and appreciate you, Doc! 💗🙏💗
You are so welcome
My daughter keeps telling me not to give my dog puppy chow. I knew it wasnt the best brand but i thought it was better than most. Now that i watched this i will be looking into alternatives for him.
Me too. I pay $75 for 30 lbs of Purina pro plan. I have a 70 lb'er and one 80 lbs. They eat a bag every two weeks. So that's $300 a month. I believe the raw dog meat in the grocery store is more expensive. Good Luck w your research on a better dog food. I'm right behind ya!
Thank you
Our boy was given 6 months to live ...cancer.... We put him on a keto diet, tumors shrank...its been over 5 years.
I love this channel Thank you !.
Glad you enjoy it!
I do raw freezed dried or slightly cook. Totally raw just freaks me out. My dog has chronic pancreatitis. I have to feed her the lowest fat.
I use to peel grapes and give it to my dog. I didn't know it was toxic and gave my dog a seizure. I felt so bad.
Crap, peeled grapes are bad too?! Thanks for sharing ✌️
Great video !
Thank you, Doctor!
Welcome!
Love your content so just sharing my experience. Spot on about the raw food and Vet recommendations. Funny thing, dog trainers I have interacted with, all feed fully raw to thier dogs. The healthiest dogs I have ever seen are Mexican street dogs and all raw feeders. Of friends who have had pet health issues, including myself, kibble was the diet (I have since switched to raw). However, ALL of the "absolutely never feed your dog THIS" stuff. ALL of it I have given to all my dogs for decades. Never an issue. Maybe just my experience but I think these "never feed" foods need to be in large quantities to be of any issue, or the dog has other health issues (IMHO). My wife is from Mexico and thier experience has been the same for all of thier dogs going back 50+ years.
My favorite time of day was always dinner prepping I used to peel the vegetables straight on to the clean kitchen floor or make a game of catch with the dogs, you would be surprised at how many people would be disturbed by what I was doing... How could giving my dog Fresh Clean Vegetables be wrong I would say to the neigh sayers... Many years later and look it's the healthier way to raise your pets ❤ how could fresh veg go wrong 😊
Love Fox Jones-- he is so refreshing! Honest and not pushing toxic foods and shots. Always find myself watching his videos for any answers I am looking for. Grateful to and for you Doc Jones!!
You know A LOT. I’ve just recently begun giving my dogs raw chicken. I’m trying to transition from kibble to homemade dog food. Thank you for your videos! I’m learning a lot! 🐶🐾
thanks again for another awesome informative video. i got a rehomed Pom who is 15 lbs instead of 11 lbs because he was fed Purina Dog Chow and Milk Bones both of which I think are crap. It's been a food battle with him because when you "kid" has always eaten at MacDonalds switching to salads is a no-go. So back to hamburgers but with a better bun and better meat (metaphorically). Slow transition to "salads" and lose weight. Now I'm looking for low carb make it myself recipes.
Thank you Dr Jones! Great info as always! I feed my 11 yr old GSD boiled boneless skinless chicken, or cooked lean ground beef, or soft boiled egg along with raw carrot, raw cucumber (varied with each meal) on a base of veggie dry food, so no meal, no bi product, nothing derived from animals in the dry food at all... I add the fresh protein with the meats I cook for her. She cannot have raw as she is a cancer survivor.
Thanks!
Thank You!
So what do u reckon the brand for the good kible..? Thanks doc

Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
Love the beautiful yellow Lab. Don't understand why.
Thank you doc for the info. We put our boerboel on a limited food diet. 5 ingredients high protein.
Sounds great!
My beloved Rottweiler 11.5 yrs old and sheltie 14 yrs old before passing, Pedagree was what they ate.
I love a copy of your book how do I get it
I've had six Dobermans since the mid 70s and when I got my first puppy, my excellent vet recommended that I should feed her dry Pedigree puppy food and switch her to adult Pedigree when she got older.
He recommended that I feed her twice a day and that I should moisten the food with hot water and let it absorb until it cooled. The food expanded in the bowl and not in her stomach and she didn't need to gulp down a gallon of water in order to digest the food.
She lived to be 14 years old...as did all of my Dobies except one, who was a blue and had to be put down at 8 because of an inherited, untreatable skin condition that blues get.
My last Dobie made it to 14.5 years old and ate Pedigree twice a day all of his life.
The rescue Dobie that I have now was in bad shape when I got him. Very dry, flaky skin and hard stool. They gave me a big bag of Purina Pro Mix with him, but I weaned him off of it and switched him to Pedigree and his skin and hard stool problems went away.
He also gets a little of what I eat mixed into his food every day...meat, fruits and veggies...and raw beef marrow bones to gnaw on to keep his teeth clean. He gets no commercial treats, bully sticks or rawhide chews.
I can't afford to feed an 84 pound Doberman 'specialty food' and commercial dog food that you pick up in the store is pretty much all of the same, so you just pay more for the name.
I was able to get Pedigree in Costco or BJ's but they stopped carrying it in favor of the more expensive brands, so I can order it online from Chewy and get it delivered to my door. Can't get the 55 pound bags, and the 40 pound bags cost as much as the 55 pound bags used to, but it's still a good price compared to Purina.
Thank you for sharing!
It's the dose that makes a substance poisonous. One small grape is not going to upset a large dog.
Pancreatitis is a horrible disease. No bacon for my dogs. Thank you for the great advice.
I feed raw to one of my cats plus a bit of can and I trust the safety of this food. The manufacturer processes the ingredients as soon as they arrive. The cold chain is never interrupted. When I purchase, I use an isolated bag with a bottle of ice on my way home. I follow the instructions for thawing and conservation. I really like the format. They are patties of 120 g. easy ti portion. I add just a bit of water and mix. They have the same format for dogs. The brand is "Faim Museau". It is produced in small batches and all ingredients are traceable. Like I tell people, the risk is the same as if you were preparing some raw chicken for your own dinner. Wash your hands before and after. They have chicken, chicken with salmon, sardines, beef, etc.
When I spent several hours in the waiting room of our local veterinary emergency clinic, I was surprised to hear the receptionist ask everyone who called with a dog emergency if they fed the dog a raw food diet. When people walked in without having called first, again, that was a question the receptionist asked them. A very clear bias against feeding raw. Interestingly, they didn't ask the cat owners.
I don't think it's bias. They are probably asking because they see it often.
I guess I'll never have to worry about using VCA veterinary.
My dogs have been on raw in the proper proportions (80/10/10) are thriving on it. I started with a diabetic dog, who did very well at stabilizing her blood sugars. I won't change back to kibble.
Blood titers are very good too for my youngest, I'm making sure my dogs have a long healthy life
Thank you Doc.!!!
😮awww,i always thought pippy was your dog❤. What a cutie pie
EXCELLENT advice Thanks Doc!! I quit feeding my dogs bagged empty calories kibble years ago and wish I never gave it to them. Not healthy for them at all. One of my dogs loves chicken liver! I also feed them ground turkey. No more food colored dog food. Not even canned food
Welcome and yes better food better dog
Dr. Jones- what brand of dry kibble do you recommend?
Wow!
I’d like to know the opinion on dehydrated raw with fruit and vegetables diets?
Hi, could you please let me know what triggers formation of bladder stones in frenchies and how to keep them at bay? Thank you!
Regarding Xylitol...have you notice that dog "toothpaste" has xylitol or sorbitol in it??? i, myself, have become highly allergic to both, as well as anything else with "natural flavor" in it. You'll even find these in most, if not all, health food supplements in liquid or powdered form, touted as organic. They cause extreme fatigue, body pain and migraines if i ingest them, for at least a day or more.
I feed my 23 year old cat a raw diet of pureed liver and a meat blend of grass fed ground beef, liver and kidney!! Kibble is available if he chooses but rarely does he eat it.
@nannygranny9534, That makes sense. Any cat or dog will choose meat over kibble, & it's nearly impossible to get them to eat dry food once you've given them ground or chunk meat even from the store-bought can.
Wild dog I completely agree with you so these other veterinarians can talk until their head comes off there not going to change my mind.
2x I gave my young dog a raw chk wing just the small part and she got diarrhea. Vet said she had a bacterial problem. So recently when I got fed up with kibble smells horrible- I bought whatever meat was on sale & cook her food- mostly meat. Mix in Blended whole eggs, greens, juice from lacto ferment, pumpkin. DE & Slippery elm etc. Change it up next time. She gets alittle of what I cook us too. Thankfully she is not big, so not a big eater.
Is the Dog food brand Fromm a good choice? I'm getting a new puppy soon and I want to make sure he has something that's good for him
The breeder we got our Boston Terriers from also raises rabbits and chickens.
The rabbits and chickens are dog food...and human food.
What do you think of arcana dog food?
Hi! Would you suggest Nulo for cats and dogs? Please let us know what you think about this brand. Thanks 😁
Dr. Jones, do you recommend any raw food companies?
my nearly 14 year old Cockapoo was diagnosed with Renal failure about 4 months ago. The vet prescribed Royal Canin Renal support. Can you recommend a better option?
Ugh! The thought of turning dead dogs into dog food..yuk!!!
On the subject of grapes:
.When my jrt was young, she used to jump up and pinch all the grapes on the vine, and that was 11+ yrs ago. Shes 14 now.
Vets who don’t recommend raw food usually do that because they get kickbacks from certain major pet food companies. In addition, any vet who is concerned with raw food does not have a firm grasp of comparative anatomy and the anatomical differences between carnivores, omnivores, and humans. Avoid them.
Well do you mind linking what kibbles are safe and affordable. Almost all have meal in it and if it doesnt the bags like 12oz ....
My 3 Yorkshire the eat raw some time i cook for them some végétale with Brown rice and some the manufacture food
“But what do I know?” 😂I love this guy.
Thank you, Dr. Jones! What do you think of freeze dried raw minimally processed food for dogs and cats?
Good question BelleWhittington. I would like to know what Dr. Jones' take is on that.
Raw freeze dry is the basis of my dogs diet. There is a company here in Australia that does, organic, human grade, ethically farmed freeze dry food for dogs and cats. It's expensive, but after doing a lot of research it was what I decided on. Check out Karen Becker's video on the list of best to worst foods for dogs. Balanced home made raw or bought is the top of the list, but freeze dry was up there.
Didn't know Pedigree sucks socks! Been feeding my babies that for years ugh, im done thank you Dr. Jones 😊
It’s sad that we don’t have quality pet food available as standard!!!
What do you recommend for dogs with a collapsed trachea my dog is 13 years old he’s taking hydrocodone for over a year and it’s seems like he’s used to it already because he’s hacking a lot during the night what can I do to help him
I make my own dog food. Real food plus a whole food human vitamin is better than any kibble
Raw roo meat & dry grain free kibble. Perfect!
