This is what I call a real veterinarian. A humble, a competent, a down to earth man, who even didn’t care about combing his hair.
😂❤
I TOTALLY AGREE; AN HONEST, TRU VET. HOW REFRESHING.
I’ve been making my dogs food for about 6 months. Ground turkey, chicken,carrots, broccoli, yams, potatoes, oats, eggs w/shells, brown rice and apples. They are looking and behaving so much better.
best way to go
I've been doing this for 7 years with my Shih Poo.
Also 1 teasp of ACV in her water to keep her urinary tract infection free.
Avoid the oats. They are full of poison.
Keep an organic garden plot with a variety of grasses, so your dog can forage for the greens. It instinctually is attracted to especially lemon grass.
The grasses have natural anti-parasitics, a.k.a. dewormer.
Totally planning this already for our animals after we move to the new house. :D
When I go for a walk with my dog in the meadows, in late autumn he picks and eats a few rose hips from the bush 🤣 and he loves chewing some mint leafs, barley grass
That's awesome & good to know!!
Haven't heard of the lemon grass yet, but got in a bit of a dispute on another forum once, specifically on deworming. I stubbornly did a bunch of research, through a lot of old studies, back before pH Arma owned most researchers. Should have compiled it. I'm talking grainy digitized microfiche. There was a bunch of solid evidence, for a lot of simple, cheap, natural dewormers. Joel Salidin swears that just running chickens with his cattle he doesn't need to deworm, something just unheard of. People like him and the Doc here, I respect.
Vegetables and fruits are great for deworming dogs. They contain high levels of fibre which help to bulk up the stools and expel the worms. Pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples & papaya are all excellent choices. Feeding your dog a couple of these a day will help to clean them out and keep them healthy. Ginger is natural for parasitic infections!
Love this guy and his honesty. His dedication to his friends speaks multitudes! ❤ yah Doc!
Awesome information!!I started making my own dog food using brown rice, hard boiled eggs, carrots, pumpkin beets (small amount), peas (small amount), homemade chicken stock, ground beef or ground chicken and freeze it in large batches. My older girl who used to have arthritis now runs with my younger dog. They also get kelp and cod liver oil.
How much does that cost per meal?
Brown rice contains arsenic.....small amounts, but why risk it?!? Use white rice 🍚 & you can eat it too!!
@@ocsweetputubeall rice can contain it. Brown rice is better for you. If u can just get organic rice.
@@ocsweetputube Boiling the brown rice, like pasta, removes about 60% of the arsenic. All dogs are different. The bigger the dog, the more they can tolerate. Dogs digestive systems are stronger than a human to handle bacteria, minerals, etc. It's up to the owner to decide.
Rice is not a good food for dogs, way to high in carbs which turns to sugar.
Great guide!
Here are the shortcuts:
1) 0:46 Sardines
2) 1:12 Chicken liver
3) 1:45 Chicken eggs
4) 2:10 Olive oil
5) 2:43 Ground flax seeds
6) 3:14 Pumpkin
7) 3:38 Yogurt
8) 3:59 Sweet potatoes
9) 4:22 Carrots
10) 4:59 Kale
thank you!!
Thank you!
Thank you, Stelios! 🥰😎
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you for sharing. 🇬🇧💛🤍
Finally someone who knows his stuff. Farmers like in the 1960's, at my grandparent's farm, with eggs, chickens,grain. They would feed their dog good human food. He did not ever go to the vet once and he "Barney" lived to be 21 years old. He just went to sleep during the night. I was only 6 years old and I was devastated. But it goes to show that every dog food along with human food is full of preservatives and additives. Even in the best top of the line dog food. So when you cook fresh food and meat, chicken, vegetables that have no additives, make your dod a bowl and in a few weeks you will notice a big difference in his all round health, coat and energy level. Have a Great Day Everyone and Thank You.
This diet also improves their teeth. Over time even with the soft food tartar is gone and gums are better.
I’m from India, my family gives human foods to all our pets, they hardly had any health problems. Meat, vegetables, even fruits, they eat it all. If it’s good for us, good for animals as well.
I often give my dog a share of what we are having for dinner...unless I know it's something not good for him. I always think about "what were farmers feeding their dogs before kibble was invented"? Likely some scraps and leftovers.
I love how Tula just sits on the counter. 🥰
I do. My chichi has human DNA she loves "people" food. She loves sardines. No dry food. Thank you!
Great vid Doc, thanks
My little mutt ate over medium eggs fried in olive oil for breakfast with me, pretty well daily. And loved baby carrots for a treat. He made it to over 18 years, don't know how old he was when I got him.
Good stuff! and pair it with our Ultimate supplements:
drjonesnaturalpet.com/supplements.html
@@VeterinarySecrets will do
I want to add that pumpkin helps deter dogs from eating their own pop .
Awesome video! I found sardines packed in water, great quality, at Trader Joe's, and my dog loves it. I didn't know about the kale, and will try that too with carrots. I totally forgot about the chicken livers... that's incredibly inexpensive and nutritious add to their meal.... thanks for all of the great tips. Peace❤
I recently started adding more fresh foods to my pups kibble. With inflation it's been hard to eat nutritional meals myself but this guide made it super helpful. Those sardines look promising. Thank you for the info! ❤
my border collie has sardines in his kibble 3 times a week,so good for him,and his fur is lush,every one always comments on how lovely he looks,he 5yrs old.the pic is when he was a puppy
I love this! Thank you, doc! Great ways to spice up my dog's human food. 😊
I freeze one can pumpkin in an ice cube tray (makes 16 servings) and use one cube/day with a spoon of plain greek yogurt on kibble, my girl loves it and eats the kibble last!
Hi Doc. I'm from the Philippines. I ordered all your supplements except the CBD oil which is illegal here. My dog is 8 years old and is doing great. I also follow your dog nutrition diet. Thank you for everything.
I have been giving my dog Your Canine Dog Health Plus..He is so much better, more Energy, Eyes improved..Ill be buying more Thank You
I always cook for my dogs, I never use much dog food. I used Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice. I ran out and bought Supper Premium it was very good Turkey, Set potatoes and fruit and veggies. Wrong it gave Nina a GI issue. So after 2 days she recovered. This was purely my fault, I'm going back to way I've always done things. None of my dogs have EVER gotten sick. As a rescuer I get recalls almost every day.
Thank you once again. Amazing. My dog likes raw broccoli 🥦 stalks. Keeps her from eating grass. 😱
I've been including most of these items in my dogs diet for a few years. Although, I feed them a mostly raw diet (pumpkin is the exception), so they get raw chicken liver, raw whole sardines, raw farm-fresh organic chicken eggs with the shell membrane, raw carrots and absolutely no kibble 😉. Plus a bunch of other stuff not related to this video.
Please do a similar vid for cats. My kitty yells at me as i prepare vegetables, tofu lol of course she gets some including plain canned pumpkin - she’s a senior but has no clue going strong as ever!
I've been feeding my twelve-year-old Minpinzu homemade organic food since I saw your video about 3 years ago. I add your Ultimate Canine supplement and he is doing great! No kibble here!
Sounds great!
Be sure to use a magnet on any meat, even if it’s labeled organic because sometimes they supplement with seed that has graphing oxide a big no-no
Thank you!
Holy moly! After researching this, I'm freaked out! Thanks for the heads up.
What do you mean? Use a magnet? 🧲 Run it over it?!?
Great information. Thanks
Thank you so much for your videos. You are a bright, light, exude, love and compassion.🎉🎉
Great Video!!! We are so Blessed by Your Videos 😊
Great advice and my little Shih Tzu Harley loves his boiled eggs and chicken livers and now I'm going to try the sardines and olive oil along with other suggestions from you. Thank you so much and thank you little Ms Tula 💗❤️❤️
Wonderful! Glad to help :)
Great video! Thanks Dr. Jones!
Yeah ✨ our pups are getting all the goodness… thanks for keeping me on track & being able to source from our Home P S … our pups love a raw carrrot before bedtime, it’s their toothbrush 🐶
Thank you Dr Jones❤
I cook long grain brown rice that I add to a quality/expensive dog food to stretch it out. The dogs like it.
Thank you dr jones ❤
One thing I do. I save the meat bones we eat off of and put then in the freezer instead of throwing them away. When I have enough, I use them to make bone broth for my dog. I add that to her food.
Thank you Doctor. I have already been adding things to kibble, but you named some more!
God Bless You
You're my dogs vet! We love you. Thank you for all your posts.❤
With prayer and coconut oil I was able to heal my cat of cat leukemia. She took to eating a small amount of the oil really well in the beginning, but then I opened the next jar of the oil and she refused it and has not eaten it since. I am concerned about what they've done to make my fussy cat refuse to eat it. 1:31
Thank u my dog won't eat know dog food
You're an international treasure! Thank you!
Thank you for the great video.
Love how she sits and really seems intrigued about what your saying and doing.
Thank you for sharing this information
I am so glad you made this video! THANK YOU! I've been adding cooked meat and certain vegetables to Sadie Grace's kibble, but you've given me a few new things to try! Dr. Jones, you are such a gift to pet owners! 💖🐶💝
Many thanks. Great suggestions.🐾🐾
Awesome video-thank you! Quantities, frequency and preparation. Thank you!!
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much for the information. Sweet potato and egg is popular with my toy poodle but will have to try a few more. ❤
Thanks for sharing ❤
My train service dog with chemical detection used to eat eggs years ago, but now refuses! Perhaps an indication of hens fed inappropriately
Thank you for safe foods
Can I use organic, cold pressed virgin coconut oil instead of the olive oil?
My dog loves the coconut oil.
Coconut oil would be better in my opinion
My dogs absolutely LOVE organic cold pressed virgin Coconut oil! I even brush their teeth 3 times per week with it. I wonder if there is a limit on amount? 🤔
Thank you for the wonderful information for my little poodle. ❤
Thanks for all you do for our beloved pets. What are your thoughts on Carna4?
I make a one-pot rice dish, with 1 lb of ground turkey, some mixed frozen veggies or just frozen peas and four cups of rice
Too much starch, ditch the rice.
I second this. Ditch the rice or make it a minimum, and make sure it’s brown rice.
When we had ducks, we used to add an egg to the dogs food. They loved it. They usually get any of our left over meals if it is okay for dogs. They love raw carrot especially when I am pealing them, the dogs line up to eat the carrot peel. Here in the UK they get fed on Harringtons kibble (wheat free as dog has allergy to wheat) along with tinned dog meat. If suitable for them, they also get any leftovers from our meals.
My two Romanian rescues love raw meats , chicken wings... basically any raw meat .
I'm cutting down on lidls/Aldi dry dog food , adding raw meat when I can along with carrots .
They love dried rabbit ears , and dried sardines (Amazon's) , as well as tinned sardines.
I was told they were three when I adopted them ....five years on and thankfully no health problems . No vet visits either for jabs , or flea treatments.....no fleas ❗
🇬🇧✝️🆓
Thank you 😊
Love Tula!!! 💜
Boiled eggs and Sardines... Ok gotcha.. Quick question, what does Tula not like? 😂🐶🤣
Thank you for these wonderful videos. Coincidentally, the past few days, I had fed my dog a “casserole” of carrots, a dog food with chicken liver in it, pumpkin, olive oil, and some brown rice. Sometimes, I give her tuna fish, too. How much tuna is safe to give dogs? Thanks!
I add all kinds of leftover veggies to my dogs food…Spinach is really good for dogs too…I add that with chicken broth to the kibble….they usually love it. I sometimes add a couple sprinkles of grated parm. cheese too
Thank you Dr. Jones for this information!! I do add additional 'human' food to my dog's kibble daily. I appreciate having this list to know what additional items I can give her. I give my dog a raw egg daily. Should I be cooking them??
Thank you so much 😊
I’m sharing this video. People need to hear it from a vet to realize it’s good to feed your pet real food instead of kibble.
Thank you doc yr the best.
Excellent!
Awesome information I’ve always given my poodle cross 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseeds stops any itching and I only ever bath him with clean water and he smells so soft and clean I don’t think dogs should be bathed in shampoo it’s can’t be natural for there skin.But now I’m going to add some sardines what a wonderful idea and not expensive.Your advise is so helpful thanks Elaine nz
Excellent 👍🏼💯💯 TY for this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐕🦺🦮🐕
Hi Doc!! Is the chicken liver cooked? I think so??! But just checking. Great video! Thanks for the information! You ROCK!!
Great work
I guess I'm kinda surprised that you feed your dog kibble at all. In watching your videos you seem to be against kibble for a lot of reasons, food safety being a big one. You're the reason I switched from kibble to cooking for my dog. She seems to be doing well on it (your recipe) and really enjoys it, so thanks for that.
I gave all that to my dogs my dogs are Chihuahuas and one small poodle
My border collie has scrambled eggs for breakfast , and 100% hamburger with some veg for lunch and supper. Pure Balance Lamb & Rice available if she wants it. Vet says her coat is the most beautiful he has ever seen.
Do you cook the meat?
@@lorieengustian4820 yes.
Doc, what do you think of cornbread? My dogs LOVE it, mine has no wheat, and the meal is boiled before baked.
Yes it is safe and yummy
@@VeterinarySecrets awesome
That is great. I go on about cats not needing corn and my two goofballs will eat cornbread or the corn tortilla of a tamale if I let them. 😜
@@edschulhof6303 lol
Great video. Will begin with some of these for my 13-year-old JRT mix. One question - she is diabetic. Would the pumkin, sweet potatoes, and carrots be detrimental to her maintaining a low insulin level?
Fantastic 🎉
Thank you. I started recently to add cooked poultry to the kibble, sometimes I cook chicken hearts as addition.
Dr. Jones, shouldn't the flax seed be ground freshly every time?
Thank you for your love of animals and sharing your wealth of knowledge. Do you have any homemade dog recipes that are available to make? I realize certain supplements/minerals are necessary to add to this- please advise or give a link. Blessings!
Thanks!
I started making my own dog food to add to my dogs kibble but I have 5 dogs and one has constipation issues and I make with hamburger, a can of pumpkin, 3 eggs ,a can of sardines and riced cauliflower with my 5 lbs of cooked hamburger and also organic oatmeal, really helped my standard poodle before had to give her pumpkin or olive oil on top of her kibble now just make half of their food
Thanka!!!
I'm just concerned about sardines because they come with a lot of sodium.😢😢
Great video…can you do one for cats too?
I was looking for a comment just like this!
Thanks again, Doc. I love it when I buy and cook these items for my dog, feed it to him, I leave the room and come back later, only to find again and again he eats around all the extra good nutricious stuff you're recommending. Tonight I'm going to mix some pumpkin puree in with a little vanilla ice cream and see how that goes. He seems to be having some stomach issues which has me worried... the perfect supplement for my high blood pressure... and he's only a year and a half old.
I don’t have hbp but have had debilitating anxiety; I find that tactical breathing, prayer, and when need be the chant of “I’m a good dog owner and I’m doing the best I know how” while getting their food ready helps keep me less worried. Hope that helps!
@@nadirabotwin7435 Thanks for your reply. The overshadowing problem is that 2 Years ago last month the dog I loved with all my heart passed from cancer after I've had him for 12 years. I'm teary eyed just typing this. In his declining days I spent most every moment in tears. Now that I have this Labradoodle and when he shows signs of not eating his meals, no matter what the reason, I get sick, worried and can't help recalling the loss of my last and most wonderful dog. You're not alone in the anxiety over you beloved dog... life without a K9 Best Friend is a worse fate. Best of health to you and yours.
Dr. Jones I watched your video on pumpkin seeds for dogs. Will pumpkin seed oil capsules work the same as the raw seeds? I have some 500mg organic pumpkin seed oil capsules and was wondering if and how much would be safe for my 1yr old 5lb yorkie? Thanks for all your help.
I really like this guy and I don't like many people.
Good information. Maybe do a cat video? My cats eat mostly homemade or some wet food. They get a tin of sardines or red salmon once a week. Wild caught, packed in water. They won't eat liver, raw or cooked. I do mix in a little pumpkin with their food. They sometimes eat a little broccoli.
There is much more to come, with videos that appeal to both cat and dog lovers alike.
The question should be “Is it safe to feed your dog dog food “? I brought my dog back from near death by just feeding her meat and vegetables.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍thanks
At dinner time I give Miska a little bit of kibble N&D and then on top of it I give her either chicken, turkey or fish, and then she’ll have either brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, or carrots, and sometimes I give her the whites of a boiled egg.
In the morning I give her a little bit of canned food Ziwi peak or rawz but now that ziwi peak want $10 a can I am giving her Rawz or first mate with her supplements. I tried to find the package chicken liver. They don’t seem to have any in the stores that go to. And I go to Walmart, Sobeys, and superstore.. and I also give her goats milk. She really likes that.
Hi Dr. Jones!
Awesome information as always!
I want to take my pup out of kibble. Im just scared because I don’t want him to loose some of the vitamins and minerals. What vitamin do you suggest for complimenting homemade meals?
Thank you!!
I'm no vet , but I wouldn't trust kibble to provide vitamins or minerals .
Not since I've learnt that most dried and wet dog food , is more harmful than beneficial for dogs .
Or jabs ❗
Lots of online for info regarding this ...Good luck 🤞
Are any of these food off the table if liver enzymes are a little high?
is there a good diet for my pup who is having a high level of liver enzymes. vet gave her denamarin but she decided she didn't like it anymore and spits it out! Thanks for the channel!
I need to share this. I have a oversized Black and Tan. She had an anal gland PROBLEM that despite vet visits every three months never healed. In frustration I treated it MYSELF... No info on that, using logic. Oral antibiotics were not the solution, yet the vet kept prescribing them along with a prescription fee and vet visit charge and the cost of the antibiotic from his practice. , I will say that after I treated Annie my way the source of the infection was gone. , I have been giving her a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin every morning on her kibble . It has been two years now with no more problems. Pumpkin worked wonders after a determined pet lover eliminated the source of recurring infection. Unfortunately Annie is still a bit overweight but we are working on that a tiny bit less food SLOWLY reducing her intake and getting her moving more. She is a real couch potato.
I refuse to use kibble after my last two dogs both got cancer using store kibble. I make all the food for my two dogs from scratch and there has been significant improvements in health benefits for my dogs and my cats. I had a cat that was fat overweight and had bathroom problems all from being on a kibble diet. He’s lost the weight and no longer has bathroom troubles after eating the homemade food in just 3 months
I feed my dogs sardines when I give them Ivermectin by mouth to prevent heart worms. They ❤️ love sardines. I have chickens,so unending supply of eggs. Sometimes they eat them raw,but they love them scrambled.
Once in a while they get a quality peanut butter sandwich. Probably not too healthy,but Vienna sausages once in a while😌 .
I got Olympic organic plain yoghurt. The ingredients are skim milk from grass fed cows, organic cream from grass, fed cows, skim milk powder, active bacterial culture, including probiotic culture, and. bifidobacterium.
My schnauzer Loves all these
Lol, this is healthy human food too! Our dog has a very expensive dog food, but also enlisted to do dishes, so he gets most of this (bar chicken liver) on a daily basis, in addition to his own supply of (human) tinned fish - such as salmon.
Kale also has a lot of nitrates. Bad for dogs with struvite crystals. What can we use to cure struvite crystals?
My dog loves hard boiled eggs, loves his carrots, doesn't like yogurt and he's not a big fan of kale
And add our Ultimate supplements to your dog's diet :)

Hi Dr. Jones. It's nice to meet you and your Tula. She is beautiful and lio so healthy.
I need urgently to change Coco's food. He is a wonderful and amazing Yellow Labrador Retriever. Next month he will be 8 years old. With the time he has been growing with a lot of allergy and am tires of the medicine prescriptions.
1. I am trying to change his Diet to a more conciseness one and literally healthier organic one. 2. I'm retired old mami and food is also gettin very expensive.
I love this video. For me you know very well what you are doing and suggesting. Also you seems to be a very sincere person
I would like to know the amount of food I have to feed Coco (80nlbs) with these suggestions. Thanks for you patience and I would like your opinion.
This is how I started and then went to raw/gently cooked food. Just add chicken, beef, or another protein meat to what the Vet says is good and you have a balanced dog meal. Just add a raw meaty bone as well
What about for cats? Please do one for kitties 😊
@maralonent6257, I mix the following into my cats' food. Sardines, chicken livers, an egg, yogurt, lard and chicken hearts. These are all inexpensive items. I don't like flax seed so I won't give it to my cats. I don't give them veggies either though it won't hurt them. Another thing I give them once in a while is dried spirulina. Since my cats are indoor cats they don't get grass to eat so spirulina replaces grass. They enjoy the variety. The items add a lot of minerals and vitamins to their food, and most of these items cost less per pound than cat food. Try eggs and chicken livers. I like sardines in spicy tomato sauce. My cats prefer the sauce to the sardines at times. I hope this helps.
