  • Why are so many of our pets overweight? According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 60% of cats and 56% of dogs in the US are obese or overweight. Of course, no pet owner would purposely make such grave mistakes when it comes to feeding their furry friend. Nonetheless, there are several things you should avoid so that your pet will be happy and healthy!
    Do you know, for example, that you should never give your pet human food? A lot of the products we humans eat contain too much salt, sugar, artificial colorants and sweeteners, and fat. All these additives are extremely harmful to pets.

    SUMMARY:
    - While plastic bowls are inexpensive and convenient, they’re not the best for your pet’s health. Both cats and dogs can develop different allergic reactions to plastic. On top of that, some dogs like to chew on their bowl, which means they risk ingesting pieces of plastic.
    - Dogs can develop serious health issues if you let them have avocados, garlic, raisins, chocolate, mushrooms, peaches, or grapes. Most of these products are just as toxic for cats too.
    - If your cat or dog gets treats too often, they’ll lose their appetite for their everyday nutritious meals. This can result in pet obesity.
    - Just like people, dogs and cats should be fed according to their age and lifestyle. Younger animals need to eat more often than older ones since they need more nutrients for proper growth.
    - Dogs especially can't control how much they eat when they see food. Their instincts will scream at them to gobble up everything they find on their plate. This problem is less prominent in felines.
    - Surprisingly, there are those who feed dog food to their cats and vice versa. Interchanging pet foods will lead to serious health complications.
    - Pets, especially dogs, love bones. At the same time, this doesn't mean that you should feed bones to them. It doesn't matter if these bones are from pork, poultry, fish, or beef.
    - Tuna can be used as a treat every now and then. But if you turn it into your cat's everyday diet, this will cause malnutrition. What’s worse, a tuna diet may lead to mercury poisoning.
    - Believe it or not, neither cats nor dogs should be given milk. If, for whatever reason, you have to bottle-feed a newborn pet, you should buy a special formula for puppies and kitties. Cow milk isn't a good substitute for their mom’s milk.

      Not all automatic feeders are plastic, though. There are metal ones. I’ve even seen ceramic and marble automatic fountains. A great way to allow water to circulate and make your cat happy! But yes, there are metal automatic feeders. Just gotta look for them and. you don’t get the convenience of glancing at the top to see if it’s empty.

    once i found my cat in a very weakened state, hiding in the storeroom and being very dirty so i took her to the vet to see what's up. apparently she got into a fight with a dog based on bite marks the vet found on her leg but otherwise she was fine, just a bit dehydrated (it was summer). the vet told me a trick to make her consume a bit more water than she did by herself: get a bowl of water, dip your hands in it then pet her to soak her fur. she will lick it off and it will end up in her belly

      you can also try mixing a bit of water into the cats food. if it’s wet food it makes it easier to lick up and helps them consume water and if it’s dry food, it makes the food mushy and helps cats eat it easier

    Free feeding works great for my cat because he eats a little when he is hungry. A full bowl lasts for days, he knows that the food won’t disappear and only eats when he needs to.
    We monitor his weight so he won’t gain unnecessary weight.

      We had a dog like that. When I was younger, we had this dog who was my dad's baby. I think that the dog thought she was #1 wife, and my mom was #2. My dad would literally make a plate of food for this sweetie every night after we had dinner. He would cut everything up for her, and put salt and pepper on everything. Surprisingly, this dog lived to 15. Unfortunately, she got a bad infection because she wasnt spayed, and had to be euthanized. I never saw my dad cry before that day. He loved that dog (Brandy) so much. Hes also gone, and I truly hope that they're together again.

      I also forgot, we had another sweet dog (poodle and bichon frisee mix). When I was dating my husband, his grandfather gave my family a GIGANTIC chocolate bunny. I had no idea where youd get such a huge bunny. Anyway, one day we came home from going to the store. Ths chocolate bunny box was shredded, and the chocolate bunny was gone! My dog (Buster) ate the entire thing! We panicked. But he was 100% fine. Oddly enough, nothing happened to him. He was another one who lived to be 15. He was a wonderful little dog. I miss him.

      My Pepper had the same thing.. 4 years ago she passed. I was messed up.. My bride and daughter were ALL messed up. I never fully mourned her, I had her 15 years. Just been so busy with all that was going on in life I never had a CHANCE to really think about it, be sad about it, nothing. I just kept moving...
      Now a cute little Tonkinese has picked me to be her person, I guess. Just was at my front door and was like, "ok.. I'm here! Guess what? I'm yours!" "I like it here, and I think I'm going to live here..."
      She is VERY loving, probably the most loving cat I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like this... And Pepper was an absolute love bundle. I was just going to help this new one out a little, you know? To eat comfortably, without the competition from the other bigger cats outside, and just relax... She was just a skinny little thing.. and I felt bad. Then my wife and kid, after they saw her, and her behavior, said no no no...I GOTTA keep her now, because she trusts me completely... And trying to find her another home would be terrible and traumatizing for her.
      ... In a week, I FINALLY just, broke down about Pepper.
      4 years later.
      This little one just made me break down somehow.
      It still hurts.
      My little dainty Pepper pants.
      They pick you, I think. That's what my wife says.
      This new little one... She's very easy to love, I can tell you.
      Eventually another is probably going to pick you again. That's how it works.
      And you will have no choice.

      Agreed. But I really...REALLY recommend not giving out medical advice to anyone when you have no idea what you're talking about. Even licensed vets can't give out medical advice online. They'll lose their license. So even though your mom's a vet, don't. If it's stuff like: walnuts cause seizures.
      Then that's fine but nothing you'd have to have a proper 6 year veterinary education for.

    At 5:18 you show a food silo with a plastic bowl. Using it for water is okay, but using it for food still makes it free food as the food keeps dropping down while eating. And the plastic is prone to bacteria like you said earlier in the video. My cat gets fed four times a day from an automatic dispenser that's supposed to be fitted with a plastic bowl, I use stainless steel instead. I use a silo like that for water. It's a convenient way to keep him healthy besides a healthy amount of toys and playtime.

    I was with stainless steel bowls, but for some reason I heard they weren't good for them and switched to plastic.Now after this video to steel again.Every other thing on the list I'm avoiding.
    It's ridiculous about the food.They say that corn, wheat etc. are bad for cats and dogs, but you can find them in a special science made foods.Especially the big companies like Whiskas, Royal Canin etc.It's just blows my mind.So I feed my felines with food which is grain free.Well at least it doesn't say on the ingredients label.From companies that aren't that big which have commercials thrown in you face.

    • @Whimsy3692
      @Whimsy3692 5 років тому +2

      I'm only saying this because I care, and have been listening to Jackson Galaxy. Grain-free doesn't mean anything on big company labels. They are legally allowed to put them on the bag, yes, but it only means they'll substitute it with something else, like soy, or cheese, or blueberries, cranberries, or some other sh*t vegetable. Something they have no business eating, and something their bodies were never designed to digest. Cats are hunters, and are only designed to eat meat.
      I once saw a Friskies can that had CHEDDAR CHEESE in it. From _Friskies,_ no less. I went, "that's disgusting." I guarentee you it's the same sh*t in Kraft products, too. If it's awful for people, imagine what it does to your cat.
      You can switch your cats to a raw diet. It helps with digestion, their coat, dental issues, and more.

      I don't use brand that is popular as Friskies, Whiskas, Royal Canin etc.They are just awful.I use Sam's Field grain free for neutered cats.It's rare to find grain free+neutered.It has chicken, rice, oil from salmon, potatoes, dry apple 6 %, tomatoes 1 % and carrots 1%.
      Before that I used to buy Applaws.But they don't grain free+neutered.
      As to the coat... they have amazing coat and I don't even brush them.But that's maybe their genes, not from the food.
      And to be honest... no matter what text is written on the label... even if it's true... it's a food that's baked or stuffed into small granules which it's ridiculous by itself.They definitely have some smelly stuff for cats to like and want to eat.
      And of course they are predators so I try to feed them with foods that they can actually hunt in the wild.By wild I mean woods.Fish isn't they natural food and it can be dangerous too.I feed them them with real chicken too.But I have nowhere near me farms with "happy" chicken, so I don't know how much poison the selled ones in the store have.I'm a vegetarian and it doesn't bother me, but I'll try even harder for my cats!

    Also, one thing they forget to mention is that free feeding can lead to animals not eating enough as well. Since they know the food will be there, they can often end up ignoring it since they can come back to it later, which they may not since they're distracted by so many other things or just don't feel like it at that time.

      They know the difference. I'm sure they can sniff it out quite easily... There was a cat that used to come to an older shop I worked at. Sweet little thing. She used to grab and paw at my hand, ...which had a water bottle in it, and meow, and love bite and look at you like, "hey I want some of that, can I has some?"... She wanted the water from the bottle. So I'd pour it in the cap, and put it down, and she loved it. That was what she wanted.. So that became all we'd give her. She wanted NO part of the water my coworker put in a bowl on the ground.
      The owner of the shop wound up taking her home. Last I saw, at a party at his house... she became a big fuzzy happy cat. She was an absolute sweetheart.

    Good information. One small side note though. If you don’t favor plastic bowls don’t suggest a food dispenser later on that is also a plastic product..!

    My cat is always hungry even though I give her a high grade food with freeze dried raw (Nature's Instinct). This is because she is on anti anxiety meds. It makes her hungrier than normal. I haven't figured out how to combat that. Her vet says let her be hungry being fed normal since she's not starved and even 2lbs overweight. But I feel so bad.

      Did you ever think about getting her a friend?? Perhaps a younger cat.

      I had an older cat that was always hungry. Turns out their thyroid can overwork as they get older. Her thyroid was pumping out over 5 x the hormones it should have been. The medication only helped so much.

    My cat has always maintained his own diet very well and stops eating no matter how many treats he gets or chicken, fish, meats and organs we offer him from our home cooked meals and how much food he’s got in his bowl. He’ll have a taste and that’s enough. He’s the perfect weight for his adult age, with amazing health mashallah. I truly get amazed how he doesn’t eat any of his food that stays out for too long, his bowl has to be cleaned regularly, he drinks well, he hates junk food, oily/fatty foods that have been offered to him like fried chicken or take away meats, he’ll only eat home cooked chicken and fish, he don’t even like canned tuna he hates it 😂👏🏼 love my baby brother, he’s always been a smart kitty ❤️❤️❤️

    Free-feeding can actually be good if your pet knows how to control themselves. We have two cats, one of whom would simply eat the entire bowl and then beg for more. She is on a feeding schedule. But the other one, she will go to her bowl and nibble at it whenever. She never eats the whole thing, or even half of it. So in isolated cases, if your pet is a confirmed grazer, I think it should be fine.

    Thanks! I learned not to feed my cat in a plastic bowl, and to give only enough food for her to finish at one sitting.
    Yes, she is over weight from my constantly keeping foid, both wet and dry, out for her.
