I have an XL Bully. Has skin flare ups from time to time (small bumps neneath hair) with odor. I massage skin with coconut oil before I wash with medicated shampoo. Tends to help somewhat. Will try kefir to diet...maybe the solution? Enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work! 👍🇺🇲🐊
Add more fresh foods to the diet, that will improve skin health a lot. Think eggs, canned sardines, meats, veg. Add a good soil based probiotic also: SBO Probiotics - amzn.to/3yoURqU This helps with better digestion and when you add some fresh foods. Start small first week to get used to it. Kefir does help too (in a similar way to the probiotics I linked too but it's also live food which is important and helps here).
Garlic is excellent for this. Remember the foundation for skin/coat health is diet. Yeast is a product of sugars. Carbohydrate laden kibble fuels yeast. Minimize carbohyrates to less than 20% with protein at 60% and fats at 20%. A raw food diet maximises the potential for yeast to die back pretty quickly.
I should say L. Paracasei. Casei and Paracasei get mixed, though are specific and a good probiotic supplements will have both. I am with you on the carb thing, though Malassezia yeat metabolizes lipids. This is the kicker that throws a wrench into the whole carb thing. Malassezia metabolizes lipids of carbon chain of 11-28 (may have to check that - give or take an increment). That means I have to avoid topical products with coconut oil). I have been giving a little MCT oil of carbon chain 8 as this has been speculated to reduce Malassezia, and is a very good lipid for brain function and overall health of the mitochondria. Right now his kibble is rated at inly 15% veggie, and I try to add more meat products to his bowl with that. The trouble with Malassezia yeast as I see it is, dogs develop an allergy to it. Laying down creates a nice moist environment. The immune system may be causing the skin to secret substances as a result of the inflammatory response that may be feeding this lipid loving yeast. My approach is to discover was to turn down the immune reaction and provide food and topical treatments that will encourage beneficial bacteria to bring balance back to his skin.
@@Wookiemonsterfreak Greater proteins in the diet and less carbohydrates will bring beneficial changes. Eggs, fish (sardines), meats, green tripe and veg etc
@@DanScott1 I did use to give garlic but my vet said it is very toxic for dogs. I know the same thing is in onion but in much higher concentrations. My dog likes garlic what is your advice.
@@olihallam9667 Thanks for asking. I'm making a video very soon, outlining 7 health benefits of garlic for dogs. Garlic is safe and healthy for your dog when given in the right amounts which are way under the scientifically tested upper limits. You can give your dog up to 1 tsp of finely chopped raw, organic garlic per 30 lbs of your dog’s body weight per day.
Apply calendula liberally on the affected area and repeat as often as needed. You can also try this recipe. Recipe: Calendula Lotion For Hot Spots - 1/4 tsp table salt - 1 cup of filtered water - 20-40 drops of calendula tincture: amzn.to/3oJQB1p Mix together the salt and the water. Add the calendula tincture. Use a clean cotton ball to sponge the lotion onto the hot spot 2-4 times a day.
Hi Dan You have a excellent video.I have question about my Dog Greens + Probiotics can I also give him Flaxseed powder on his food too ,with the Green Probiotic? its everyday?
Been making ferments with L. Casei for a serious malassezia take over on my dogs coat. Still, it takes a dent out but it’s been a crazy few years trying to sort out this dog adopted by a couple who had trouble taking care of his needs.
Very interesting. Powering up the dogs immune system is a good focus. Diet is key here and with fresh food providing the live enzymes and potentially ferments like Kefir providing stronger gut colonies. This in turn aids the mouth colonies, which in turns helps the dogs saliva when licking at the coat to help keep skin clean. Focus on keeping carbohydrates/sugars/drugs/stress out of the dogs diet/life and the dogs immune system will respond, killing off the malassezia.
Whoa...Pet Ultimates is $140 from Amazon! Holy cr*p don't they know how to make $$$$. I'm in Australia so it's no surprise that many products recommended online for both my fur babies and myself aren't available here. It's like we live on Pluto hahahaha. I'll try the kefir and garlic. 😂 My 10mth old Cav X has had loose stools for nearly a week and leaves me lovely surprises in the house every morning. Poor bubba. I've done the usual fast for a day then bland food, but something is just not right. Thanks for your recommendations. I love how you have replied to so many people.
Yes, plenty of natural probiotoc options. Add some pumpkin or below ground veg to meals to firm up stools. If there's any infection issue, use oregano oil (neat) 1 drop in tsp olive or coconut oil once daily in food for 5-11 days as needed to fix issue.
@@DanScott1 I appreciate the reply. Yes I have been adding pumpkin to his food. I finally found the cause yesterday...he has been ingesting one of his toys. I found pieces of rubber in his stools! Needless to say that toy is now in the bin. Sheesh. He keeps me on my toes. Have bought the kefir and have been giving it to him and the older pooch and this will be a regular occurrence. The young one did NOT like the garlic hahaha. The older one was fine. I had a stern word with the little one, as I'm of Italian decent so snubbing garlic is sacrilegious! 😬
I have a Spitz and since few years he's been biting his paws constantly. I tried changing diet but he is too picky. He only eat pedigree. What can I do to stop that biting and what can I give him to eat as he is too picky
You'll want to transition diet or at least mix up the diet to get more fresh food in it and less commercial additive laden food in the meals so you can get this paw biting under control.. it's such a problem today! So go real slow and take out 10% of the meal and replace with canned sardines (in water), soft boiled eggs, part cooked and blended veggies, a little chicken meat for example. Work your way up to 50:50 canned and new fresh foods. Add this soil based probiotic: amzn.to/3yoURqU (only this type of probiotic) and this Live Enzymes: amzn.to/2ksvlx1 as they eat up yeast. Work towards lowering carbohydrates in the diet to 10% or less. No vaccines, no synthetics.. which means lowering the use of pedigree over time until you can transition him to fresh foods and the paw licking will go. For some relief to the paw biting as it takes time to stop even with great new diet, use Oregano oil: amzn.to/3ulnF1T add 2 drops to tsp of olive or coconut oil, mix well and rub on feet once daily when it's bad.
Hi Dan, can a dog allergic to beef still have cow colostrum and kefir? I’m wondering if dairy from a cow is ok even if the protein is not for a beef allergic dog.
Hi Dan, my golden retriever has lately developed very bad itchy and flaky skin with scabs all over her body. I make food at home for her (turkey, veggies, beef liver, added omega 3 and coconut oil) I’m thinking her skin reaction might be from a turkey allergy, but I’m not sure. Would switching to beef meat help? Thanks!
This is about balance. Tricky with no history but has there been a vaccination lately? Advice, NO vaccines, as they lead to auto immune issues, all sorts of complications.. as researched years ago. I'd mix up the meats more, add in eggs, canned sardines (in water), blend/mash the veg, add some omega 3 oil such as 1tsp daily of hemp oil: amzn.to/3vDdtjX Add this soil based probiotic: amzn.to/3yoURqU Add these freeze dried greens for tons of vital antioxidants: amzn.to/3R1m3HR 1/3rd scoop in food once daily. If older dog, use MCT oil instead of coconut oil, great brain food: amzn.to/3MDXeMq Start all new foods/supplements small and slow to begin with, esp, MCT oil - 1/4 dose to begin with, tested on myself, great stuff but too much too soon gets soft stools. May need some fasting too, 24hrs water only to clear out the organs and reset the body, great health practice. The present condition is based on vet drugs, poor diet, chronic build up. Take control, use fresh foods at least 50:50, no drugs/vaccs and lean into less cooking the food over time, ie eggs (freerange/organic) raw fed, meats rare etc.
Is it normal that once the dog starts taking probiotic, it can cause diarrhea and vomit? My dog's poop turn softer (on his second round) and he vomitted once with light green foamy water. I just gave him Dr.Mercula probiotics support for dogs, of which is a green powder. Can help me shed a light if it's normal?
Always start new supplements slow and small for first week so the dog gets used to new flora in the gut. So it's likely too much too soon that causes diarrhea. The vomit is clearing the stomach also. Just start at 1/4 dose and build over the week.
We have tried EVERYTHING for out Caucasian Shepard, Maremma, Pyrenees mix dog Apollo! The only thing that works is that darn shot, which for him is extremely expensive because he is 130 pounds! He can't have chicken AT ALL. He is now on 4health Salmon and sweet potato. Please help 😢
I have no idea of the history to make a call but add greens to the diet: amzn.to/49w0bKR for high antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, probiotics etc The usual thing here is as much fresh food as possible, good oils, very low carbs and no vaccs.
@@nancieshill Dogs, unlike humans, are histamine factories and they cause you to itch. Carbs cause histamines, food additives, drugs/vaccs cause histamines, stress too. The dogs diet is the main cause via yeast from carbs and additives. Kill and lower the yeast and the histamines/itch drops significantly. Feed fresh foods as much as possible, very low carbs, under 10%. Think sardines, eggs, veg, organs, meats. Anti yeast supplements are: Probiotics: amzn.to/3yoURqU Bentonite clay: amzn.to/3L1rq2R MCT oil: amzn.to/3tLlCnR Olive leaf: amzn.to/3uh3GTJ Pau D'arco: amzn.to/3M9DSyU Goldenseal: amzn.to/3KQIqc5 Dandelion root: amzn.to/33KWWT6 Add these greens to meals, 1/2tsp once daily in food. That's it, work in the above where you can, takes time but progress can be made over several months.
Hi Jade, here in the Uk we are starved of the vast variety of choice the USA has. For me it's got to be green vibrance. It contains 12 species of probiotic which is good and better than any dog specific probiotic anywhere. It also contains a whole host of greens, 74 in all! (probably the worlds best). I've been using it for me and the dogs for 20 years. Yes it has prebiotics too - important. It's expensive becuase it's the best but health first for me and my dog is everything: amzn.to/2ZY0Jaq Also Jade, if you can get some kefir, preferably organic. That's chock full of probiotics. It's a cultured milk product, fresh zingy and drinking yoghurt like. I culture my own here at home and use it daily. All the best.
I'd get these greens powder: amzn.to/49w0bKR It has lots of both pre and probiotic plus many antioxidants and lots of other healthy ingredients that will benefit your dog and save on several supplements at the same time. 1 tsp sml dog, 2 med dog and 4 lge dog.
Hello just came across your channel. I have a wolf hybrid & she went missing for 5 days after I got her back she had a stomach infection & wouldn’t eat. Took her to the vet & he prescribed antibiotics. 6 months later she’s sick again & is on antibiotics. What products can I buy from you to help her. She’s about 9 year old. Thank you in advance.. greetings from Texas.
Hi Juanita in Texas, please stop the vet antibiotics as soon as you read this. Then get some Oregano oil (antibiotic) that you mix with ordinary oil like olive/coconut oil at 1 drop oregano oil to 1tsp olive oil and give in food. Neat oregano oil is very acrid so always mix it but it's a great antibiotic: amzn.to/3ulnF1T If a cold/flu is coming on I take 4 drops in a teaspoon of olive oil, works a treat. I made a video on oregano oil. For a stomach infection, use silver 8ppm: amzn.to/2UXexmC Give a spoon direct by mouth or in food/water bowl. Use for 1 week only and give probiotics for gut health:amzn.to/3pZp7oB (add to food). BTW I don't do products, just recommend the best most natural and effective out there. Whats her diet generally?
@@DanScott1 hello again sir and thank you for replying. I bought some liquid oregano oil with extra virgin oil at my local vitamin shop. I will start giving her that today. My question is how often or how many days do I do this for ? Or should I do it daily for the rest of her life. I also purchased the prebiotics from your link & will start giving them to her as soon as they get here. I’m fixing to order the silver 8ppm right now. I usually give her chicken breast one day and the next day I will give her kibbles and just alternate. She is 120 pounds and it just worries me she will get sick again. I saw your video on garlic and will also start giving her some. She’s never been sick until she ran away one day they were fixing my yard and Found her 5 days later at another house. I thought maybe she caught something along the way. I appreciate all your help & feedback. My local vet want to fix everything with antibiotics & I just have a gut feeling that’s not too healthy.
@@juanitalacubanitaaa7941 Do it until the problem has resolved. NO antibiotics from the vet, the Oregano oil IS the antibiotic to use. Mix more fresh food into the kibble like raw eggs, canned sardines (packed in water) and lots of veggies 11/2 cups daily with food. Part cooked and well crushed/mashed/blended. Use the silver sparingly and for no longer than 10 days. Again it's another antibiotic and you must give the probiotics when using silver. Of course theres my ebook Feed Your Dog Better if you want a complete system of diet to work with. healthydogforlife.com/feed-your-dog-better-book-by-dan-scott/
hello, Thank you for your videos. I have a 2 yr Westie who suffers from allergies from food and environmental. I am now started to feed him home cocked instead of kibble. The vet does not recommend any supplements but the skin is sore, and he oftenly makes yeast in his ear.He has been on Apoquelle and Cytopoint. We stopped the drugs and I know he needs more support, what supplemtens should I give him? Also for the ear he always received antibiotic -Surolan.
Use silver spray on the ear for a 7 day protocol: amzn.to/3gJ16i3 At the same time give soil based probiotics only: amzn.to/3yoURqU Good, you stopped those awful drugs! The dog needs some fresh food in the diet and minimal kibble to cut back on yeast (ears). My ebook Feed Your Dog Better has the entire diet for you to follow step by step: healthydogforlife.com/feed-your-dog-better-book-by-dan-scott/ The ebook has the home cooked diet, raw diet and healthier kibble diet inside. I welcome your thoughts.
@@alinaelenapetrican5921 No, use the soil based probiotics I mentioned above. The others are milk based probiotics and to be avoided with your dogs health issue as they can make it worse by feeding the yeast.
Very helpful video!! Thank you. New subscriber. I have a 5 pound Chihuahua/yorkie mix that can be a picky eater at time. Would you agree that the garlic or goat's milk may be a better option as a probiotic? I notice she itches on occasion which I believe could be due to environmental allergies. Thank you in advance.
Keep carbs under 10%, no vet drugs, vaccs. Goats milk is good. garlic is good for particular health issues to fix, it's also a good probiotic and of course a good anti flea. But only use it with a purpose, not general nutrition. For any itch related issue only use a soil based probiotic: amzn.to/3yoURqU Also think about eggs (raw is best for nutritional value and it's a complete food), canned sardines (in water) and some part cooked and blended veggies. This makes it easier to reduce carbs if using dry food.
@@taniam.4554 Great help nutritionally but for reverse sneazing, try pinching the nose and massaging the throat at the same time when an episode happens or gently blowing into pups nose to stop it.
It's pretty good the greek style yoghurt, so yes I do recommend it. Make sure it's zero sugar. Kefir is the best, again sugar and other additives free and preferably organic.
Yes, you should see better stools (not so soft), better digestion generally, less gassy and improved gut health and breath improvements too. Should lower yeast issues some, improve coat some, better energy and feeling better too. Pet Ultimates has 22 species, none of the others come any where close: amzn.to/3xqa2i0 Milk kefir has around 26+ species, great too.
Hello, I have a 5-pound 4-month-old puppy how many grams of Pet Ultimates Probiotics should I give him a day? How many grams or milligrams? Your answer would be greatly appreciated
So people were saying that magnesium stearate dangerous for dogs and cats and that magnesium stearate is found in the pet ultimates probiotics/prebiotics for dogs and cats
Way too small amount to be harmful. This is a very mild additive and safety tested up to 2500mg per kilo. Way less of an issue than the additives in commercial pet foods.
Yes with lots of benefits too. I just made a video on garlic if your interested in garlics health benefits for dogs: ua-cam.com/video/i6mRpE-8jEs/v-deo.html
Lentils contain a group of proteins called lectins. Lectins are not digestible in the canine gut unless really well cooked! I prefer meats, eggs, fish etc And D-Mannose does bind lectins if needed. Thay do advance probiotic growth in yoghurt though if that's what your refering to?
@@DanScott1 I usually cook my lentils until very tender mushy only once in a while I'm interested In keifer but dairy I don't know about I have to try she's come a long way for a really overweight Chihuahua she was 15 pounds she lives runny eggs I give that to her 2 a week
I really want to give her garlic she loves fruits the vets always screamed no garlic wow I guess organic would be a good thing is cabbage good she loves it as well as Romain lettuce
@@monicaalford619 Cabbage and romain lettuce are great. The lettuce, just blend or fine chop and the cabbage part cook and blend is best as the cell walls in vegetables need to be broken open as dogs don't naturally digest veg. Raw organic garlic is great for dogs for many reasons (check out my garlic video). It's a probiotic, it's anti worms, antibiotic, anti bacterial, has minerals etc.
Here are some ways garlic helps keep your dog be healthy: Prevents the formation of blood clots (anti-platelet) Decreases cholesterol build-up (anti-cholesterolemic) Widens blood vessels (vasodilator) Helps prevent the formation of tumors (anti-tumor) Stimulates the lymphatic system to remove wastes Antibiotic, antifungal and antiparasitic Drug Interactions: Garlic can interact with several types of medications. Here’s a short list of ones you need to be careful with: • Immune suppressants • Heart medications • Chemotherapy drugs • Blood thinners • Insulin • Antacids • High blood pressure drugs. Don’t use garlic if your dog is on any of these drugs. Since garlic affects blood clotting don’t use it two weeks before any scheduled surgery. Using a level measuring spoon, feed the following amount of fresh organic fine chopped garlic per day, according to your dog’s weight: 5lbs: 1/6 tsp 10lbs: 1/3tsp 15 lbs: 1/2 tsp 20lbs: 2/3 tsp 30 lbs: 1 tsp
I give my 15-20lb, raw food dogs sauerkraut, plain Greek yogurt, and bananas. I didn’t know that they could eat garlic. So I will start adding a little of that to their food as well.

Think sardines, eggs, veg, organs, meats.
Anti yeast supplements are:
Probiotics: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Bentonite clay: amzn.to/3L1rq2R
MCT oil: amzn.to/3tLlCnR
Olive leaf: amzn.to/3uh3GTJ
Pau D'arco: amzn.to/3M9DSyU
Goldenseal: amzn.to/3KQIqc5
Dandelion root: amzn.to/33KWWT6
Add these greens to meals, 1/2tsp once daily in food.
That's it, work in the above where you can, takes time but progress can be made over several months.
Have you got any suggestions for a good pre/probiotics mix we are in the uk and can't get the ones you recommend.
Hi Jade, here in the Uk we are starved of the vast variety of choice the USA has. For me it's got to be green vibrance. It contains 12 species of probiotic which is good and better than any dog specific probiotic anywhere. It also contains a whole host of greens, 74 in all! (probably the worlds best). I've been using it for me and the dogs for 20 years. Yes it has prebiotics too - important.
It's expensive becuase it's the best but health first for me and my dog is everything: amzn.to/2ZY0Jaq
Also Jade, if you can get some kefir, preferably organic. That's chock full of probiotics. It's a cultured milk product, fresh zingy and drinking yoghurt like. I culture my own here at home and use it daily.
All the best.
@@DanScott1 Thank you so much for your reply it is very helpful! 🙂👍
@@jadelw7967 Hey no worries, great to help our dogs.
Cool video. What about bacillus subtilis strain
@@BulletsB4Guns_2A Thank you. Good strain for dogs. The idea is to get as mnay strains as possible into your dog. The best for this is Kerfir.
What are some good prebiotic?
I'd get these greens powder: amzn.to/49w0bKR
It has lots of both pre and probiotic plus many antioxidants and lots of other healthy ingredients that will benefit your dog and save on several supplements at the same time.
1 tsp sml dog, 2 med dog and 4 lge dog.
Hello just came across your channel. I have a wolf hybrid & she went missing for 5 days after I got her back she had a stomach infection & wouldn’t eat. Took her to the vet & he prescribed antibiotics. 6 months later she’s sick again & is on antibiotics. What products can I buy from you to help her. She’s about 9 year old. Thank you in advance.. greetings from Texas.
Hi Juanita in Texas, please stop the vet antibiotics as soon as you read this.
Then get some Oregano oil (antibiotic) that you mix with ordinary oil like olive/coconut oil at 1 drop oregano oil to 1tsp olive oil and give in food. Neat oregano oil is very acrid so always mix it but it's a great antibiotic: amzn.to/3ulnF1T
If a cold/flu is coming on I take 4 drops in a teaspoon of olive oil, works a treat.
I made a video on oregano oil.
For a stomach infection, use silver 8ppm: amzn.to/2UXexmC
Give a spoon direct by mouth or in food/water bowl. Use for 1 week only and give probiotics for gut health:amzn.to/3pZp7oB (add to food).
BTW I don't do products, just recommend the best most natural and effective out there.
Whats her diet generally?
@@DanScott1 hello again sir and thank you for replying. I bought some liquid oregano oil with extra virgin oil at my local vitamin shop. I will start giving her that today. My question is how often or how many days do I do this for ? Or should I do it daily for the rest of her life. I also purchased the prebiotics from your link & will start giving them to her as soon as they get here. I’m fixing to order the silver 8ppm right now. I usually give her chicken breast one day and the next day I will give her kibbles and just alternate. She is 120 pounds and it just worries me she will get sick again. I saw your video on garlic and will also start giving her some. She’s never been sick until she ran away one day they were fixing my yard and Found her 5 days later at another house. I thought maybe she caught something along the way. I appreciate all your help & feedback. My local vet want to fix everything with antibiotics & I just have a gut feeling that’s not too healthy.
@@juanitalacubanitaaa7941 Do it until the problem has resolved. NO antibiotics from the vet, the Oregano oil IS the antibiotic to use.
Mix more fresh food into the kibble like raw eggs, canned sardines (packed in water) and lots of veggies 11/2 cups daily with food. Part cooked and well crushed/mashed/blended.
Use the silver sparingly and for no longer than 10 days. Again it's another antibiotic and you must give the probiotics when using silver.
Of course theres my ebook Feed Your Dog Better if you want a complete system of diet to work with. healthydogforlife.com/feed-your-dog-better-book-by-dan-scott/
@@DanScott1 thank you very much for your help :)
@@juanitalacubanitaaa7941 Your welcome Juanita.
hello, Thank you for your videos. I have a 2 yr Westie who suffers from allergies from food and environmental. I am now started to feed him home cocked instead of kibble. The vet does not recommend any supplements but the skin is sore, and he oftenly makes yeast in his ear.He has been on Apoquelle and Cytopoint. We stopped the drugs and I know he needs more support, what supplemtens should I give him? Also for the ear he always received antibiotic -Surolan.
Use silver spray on the ear for a 7 day protocol: amzn.to/3gJ16i3
At the same time give soil based probiotics only: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Good, you stopped those awful drugs!
The dog needs some fresh food in the diet and minimal kibble to cut back on yeast (ears). My ebook Feed Your Dog Better has the entire diet for you to follow step by step: healthydogforlife.com/feed-your-dog-better-book-by-dan-scott/
The ebook has the home cooked diet, raw diet and healthier kibble diet inside.
I welcome your thoughts.
@@DanScott1 thank you so so much for your support!
@@alinaelenapetrican5921 Your welcome.
@@DanScott1 is youdigest a good probiotic/prebiotic for allergic dogs?
@@alinaelenapetrican5921 No, use the soil based probiotics I mentioned above. The others are milk based probiotics and to be avoided with your dogs health issue as they can make it worse by feeding the yeast.
Will it help ringworm fungus?
No, needs anti fungal treatment. Use silver, spray on the affected area: amzn.to/3iJ6hjB
Very helpful video!! Thank you. New subscriber. I have a 5 pound Chihuahua/yorkie mix that can be a picky eater at time. Would you agree that the garlic or goat's milk may be a better option as a probiotic? I notice she itches on occasion which I believe could be due to environmental allergies. Thank you in advance.
Keep carbs under 10%, no vet drugs, vaccs. Goats milk is good. garlic is good for particular health issues to fix, it's also a good probiotic and of course a good anti flea. But only use it with a purpose, not general nutrition. For any itch related issue only use a soil based probiotic: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Also think about eggs (raw is best for nutritional value and it's a complete food), canned sardines (in water) and some part cooked and blended veggies. This makes it easier to reduce carbs if using dry food.
@@DanScott1 Thank you so much! Will all that also help w/her reverse sneezing that my pup has on occasion? Mainly when she gets too excited.
@@taniam.4554 Great help nutritionally but for reverse sneazing, try pinching the nose and massaging the throat at the same time when an episode happens or gently blowing into pups nose to stop it.
@@DanScott1 you are the best thank god I found you
@@Anonymous-sb8ou Thank you, doing my best for our dogs.
I’m shocked that frozen plain yogurt isn’t here. Would you recommend against it?
It's pretty good the greek style yoghurt, so yes I do recommend it. Make sure it's zero sugar.
Kefir is the best, again sugar and other additives free and preferably organic.
@@DanScott1 lol that’s what I look for in any of the yogurts that I eat myself. The sugar is everywhere
I make kefir cheese so the whey is good for the dog???
It's an excellent protein for your dog.
So long after taking the Pet Ultimates Probiotics for Dogs do people usually see results?
Yes, you should see better stools (not so soft), better digestion generally, less gassy and improved gut health and breath improvements too.
Should lower yeast issues some, improve coat some, better energy and feeling better too.
Pet Ultimates has 22 species, none of the others come any where close: amzn.to/3xqa2i0
Milk kefir has around 26+ species, great too.
My dog is doing great on organic broccoli 🥦
Great cuciferous vegetable and one of the better options. Thanks for comment.
@@DanScott1 thank you very much Mr scott
@@monicaalford619 Your welcome Monica.
Hello, I have a 5-pound 4-month-old puppy how many grams of Pet Ultimates Probiotics should I give him a day? How many grams or milligrams? Your answer would be greatly appreciated
1/8th teaspoon or 1/4 scoop (provided in the product).
@@DanScott1 Thank you will be doing that.
@@pietvillarin5667 Your welcome Piet.
So people were saying that magnesium stearate dangerous for dogs and cats
and that magnesium stearate is found in the pet ultimates probiotics/prebiotics for dogs and cats
Way too small amount to be harmful. This is a very mild additive and safety tested up to 2500mg per kilo.
Way less of an issue than the additives in commercial pet foods.
Garlic is safe for dogs?
Yes with lots of benefits too. I just made a video on garlic if your interested in garlics health benefits for dogs: ua-cam.com/video/i6mRpE-8jEs/v-deo.html
All like to Dr. Dan.
Thank you : ).
Ok so i introduced my dog to kefir. But she now has gas is this normal
Shouldn't have gas!
Try feeding on an empty stomach for best results.
Give her less amount
@@cuarajhyrojayju4397 Yes, start with less and work up. Thanks.
I will combine the top two and give my dog raw goat milk kefir!
Excellent idea.
& lentils
Lentils contain a group of proteins called lectins. Lectins are not digestible in the canine gut unless really well cooked! I prefer meats, eggs, fish etc And D-Mannose does bind lectins if needed.
Thay do advance probiotic growth in yoghurt though if that's what your refering to?
@@DanScott1 I usually cook my lentils until very tender mushy only once in a while I'm interested In keifer but dairy I don't know about I have to try she's come a long way for a really overweight Chihuahua she was 15 pounds she lives runny eggs I give that to her 2 a week
I really want to give her garlic she loves fruits the vets always screamed no garlic wow I guess organic would be a good thing is cabbage good she loves it as well as Romain lettuce
@@monicaalford619 Egg is good protein for dogs.
@@monicaalford619 Cabbage and romain lettuce are great. The lettuce, just blend or fine chop and the cabbage part cook and blend is best as the cell walls in vegetables need to be broken open as dogs don't naturally digest veg.
Raw organic garlic is great for dogs for many reasons (check out my garlic video). It's a probiotic, it's anti worms, antibiotic, anti bacterial, has minerals etc.
I thought that garlic was toxic to dogs!?
Here are some ways garlic helps keep your dog be healthy:
Prevents the formation of blood clots (anti-platelet)
Decreases cholesterol build-up (anti-cholesterolemic)
Widens blood vessels (vasodilator)
Helps prevent the formation of tumors (anti-tumor)
Stimulates the lymphatic system to remove wastes
Antibiotic, antifungal and antiparasitic
Drug Interactions:
Garlic can interact with several types of medications. Here’s a short list of ones you need to be careful with:
• Immune suppressants
• Heart medications
• Chemotherapy drugs
• Blood thinners
• Insulin
• Antacids
• High blood pressure drugs.
Don’t use garlic if your dog is on any of these drugs. Since garlic affects blood clotting don’t use it two weeks before any scheduled surgery.
Using a level measuring spoon, feed the following amount of fresh organic fine chopped garlic per day, according to your dog’s weight:
5lbs: 1/6 tsp
10lbs: 1/3tsp
15 lbs: 1/2 tsp
20lbs: 2/3 tsp
30 lbs: 1 tsp
Need less expensive options
Garlic and fermented veg are good. The commercial powders are pretty expensive these days.
I give my 15-20lb, raw food dogs sauerkraut, plain Greek yogurt, and bananas. I didn’t know that they could eat garlic. So I will start adding a little of that to their food as well.
BS on giving garlic to a dog. It’s toxic
I'd call BS on your knowledge base about garlic and it's correct usage as a healer and it's nutrient value.
My dogs get fresh garlic every day. Garlic being toxic is a myth.
@@Tamara_1776 Indeed it is a myth.
