    Thank you guys all for the helpful comments! I have a vet appointment scheduled on Friday for Mikey and I will be covering diet for him. I am 90% sure I will be giving him a more “cooked” diet with meat and veggies with a mixture of dry dog food and whatever else my vet suggests. I’ll be sure to update you guys in my upcoming videos!

      Where I live vets do not undergo any animal nutrition in their training, possibly a short non-compulsory lecture often held by pet food company representatives. Kind of like you wouldn’t go to a doctor to ask for nutritional advice, you would go to a dietitian.

      @@idarahmqvist1373 I totally agree. Most vets are partnered with Hills science diet which has mostly terrible ingredients (of course if you need a prescription food it’s necessary). I’ve seen so many vets recommend food with corn, by products, wheat gluten and so many other fillers.

      @meaganhelbig1824 2 года назад +4

      If you plan on making your food yourself, make sure that you supplement with the necessary vitamins to make it balanced. I’ve seen so many pups become nutrient deficient because of an unbalanced home cook meal. I’d look into bad ingredients for dog food. Meat should always be the first ingredient. Corn can’t be digested. By products are an unnamed meat source that can consist of anything they don’t want to name. Wheat gluten is the stuff they make veggie meat out of. Also kibble actually causes dental disease and it does not prevent it, common myth that sells vet dog food. Sorry im supper passionate about dog food lol

      Please don’t switch! Hills is a great brand and homemade diets can be so dangerous. Please trust the advice of your veterinarian and do not switch him off if the Hills food. I am a veterinary student in the US and can attest to the amount of nutrition training that we have that is *not* endorsed by nutrition companies.

    Mikey is adorable! but just as an FYI- wet/raw dog food is a lot healthier and natural for dogs to digest and eat. if you do choose to go the kibble route, I’d recommend adding a variety of toppers such as raw eggs, salmon oil, etc to provide more moisture and meet their needs better. the bk shop is really helpful in terms of diet, I suggest you check them out 💕

    Hi! I am a certified veterinary assistant and had to weigh in on the dog food questions since you said you're open to advice.
    When it comes to pet food it is always a grey area in terms of what ingredients are better than others. You are correct when it comes to limiting the amount of fillers that are in the food and having a diet that is high in good protein. Blue Buffalo is a no-go for the reasons you stated so thank you for switching in the best interest of the pup!
    A lot of consumers are not aware that Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, and Purina sponsor veterinary clinics, rescues, and breeders which is the reason that they are the most recommended when you go to the vet. My schooling was even sponsored by them, which meant the majority of our training in terms of nutrition was based around recommending those products.
    At a certain point once I left school I realized that ingredient wise, a lot of these foods are not superior, and the reasoning behind recommending these products lies in the fact that we are not taught any different.
    When people look for "no corn/wheat", they normally go the route of a "grain-free" food. When grain-free foods are made, they normally substitute all grains with legumes or pumpkin. Most veterinarians within recent years are anti "grain free" foods due to a study that was released linking grain-free dog foods to a heart condition called DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy aka enlarged heart). The study was very narrow and done using brands of grain-free foods that use legumes/pea protein as a substitute for grain. There are many different types of grain-free food, some are pumpkin based and some are legume based, which was the problematic trait. There is no evidence linking non pea based grain-free foods to DCM. There has been a surge of people switching onto Hills and other vet-recommended foods with the fear of DCM. This food has become a very popular switch due to the fact that it has both grains, which is recommended by veterinarians, while also being free of corn and wheat, which is what people don't want in the typical Hill's Science diet recipes. The part that is confusing from my perspective is - We are taught not to recommend grain-free foods because there is a link between legumes/pea protein and DCM. However, Science Diet No Corn Puppy has pea protein in it, and it's fairly high up on the ingredient panel. From what I've been taught, it is a very odd decision. I cannot give you an answer on whether or not this is good or bad, but it is something to bring up and research nonetheless. Ingredient wise, this food is much better than the standard Hills recipes because, as you said, it doesn't contain the fillers we don't want. However, if I could personally change the recipe I would remove that pea protein ingredient. If this is a concern, switching to a grain-free food that is not legume based would remove both the fillers as well as the pea concern. Not sure where you're located or what foods are locally available, but again it's just something to think about. :)
    I hope this wasn't too confusing to read, have a good day!

      Excellent advice! After the big recall in prescription food a few years ago I became obsessed with researching pet foods. My newest ridgeback also had anal gland issues causing me to need to investigate further, his poops tended to be soft.
      It took a long time and working with my vet along with my own research to learn he needed a couple of days a week of raw/higher bone content and then the rest a high quality kibble or wet food ( I love wet food for added moisture as I feel dogs and cats just don't get enough moisture unless they are hunting their own foods).

      @TeacupTeddyASMR 2 года назад

      @@jrmints80 That's very true. Pet nutrition is actually so interesting when you begin to look into it, plus it can be a very fun thing for us too. There's so many different things people can do to improve meals that often go unthought of. Like you said- adding wet food, a broth, goats milk, or simply rehydrating with water! I'm sure your doggie eats better than most. x

    I would recommend considering delaying his neuter. There’s benefits to allowing him to mature a bit before neutering. Allow his growth plates to close more. Pediatric spay and neuter can lead to a lot of issues later in life.
    It’s up to you, but I definitely recommend at least looking into that a bit! Best of luck with him. :)

      @@Zoeclarke01 There are pros and cons to both neutering/spaying and deciding not to. Neither is a clear cut decision as both increase risks for different issues. Waiting until two years is the standard to ensure proper growth and avoiding issues associated with paediatric neuters. I personally will not be surgically neutering any future male dogs unless medically required - chemical castration is more likely. Any female dogs will be spayed due pyometra risk not being worth it, but I will still wait as long as possible [2 to 3 years].

    • @tepidmars

      Came here to say the same, my chihuahua was a pediatric spay and I can see where it stunted his growth, he looks very frail and wonky compared to male huas that were able to fully develop.
      There was a really awesome study published on the pros and cons of altering based on breed but I believe the general consensus was that pediatric spays are usually more harm than good especially with males. I would just encourage you and anyone else to do your research and have a dialogue with your vet. Worse case he requires a little more management so he doesn't get anyone's intact girl in the few extra months until you get him altered

    I don't have many recommendations for dog food as I'm still learning too, but the only thing I would suggest is putting a tablespoon (ish) of water into dry food kibble. its pretty hard for dogs to digest, especially with how short of a digestive system they have. it takes a job from the digestive system and means that more nutrients are able to be absorbed :)

    Please wait till he is 2 years old to get him neutered, it's best to allow his hormones to actually be in his system and to allow his growth plate to fully close. The hormones will let him mature and in the long run he will have a more docile and calm behavior. I made the mistake to get one of my dogs spayed at 4 months and she had that puppy behavior and so many behavior issues because of it meanwhile my shih tzu who was able to have one heat has a more docile, calm, mature and over all well rounded. It's your choice but it's better to wait till he is atleast 2

      I didn't fully watch your video when I first commented however I used to feed preformatrin and then open farm and my dogs Excell on it. Science diet, science hills, Purina one, blue Buffalo are some of the major food brands that have had recalls before. As for weaning him from his previous food give 3/4 of a cup of his current food then 1/4 of a cup of the new food. Kibble is also in general not the most nutrient dense since it's mostly full of carbonation to create that kibble form. To add nutrition I would wet down the food and instead of cooked meat feed it to him raw as it's better for him as well. I primarily feed raw in kibble form with a raw food topper with about a cup of water to my dogs food and I've noticed their coat, teeth, poop and over all health being alot better. To help with teeth health feed chew treats two to three times a day for 15 minutes to 30 minutes to allow him to really clean his teeth as kibble being filled with fillers and carbonation so as it cleans it also makes his teeth dirty again. I really hope I make sence but the best thing I can recommend is talk to your vet and talk to a nutritionist about what your looking for in a dog food and your goal for your dog. For example have a food that can fill him up faster, help with his coat, teeth, health and whatever else you want to have for your dog and they can direct you to the best food/ food combinations for Mickey, your life style and both your needs.
      Also for Mickey's Toy I would use it as a training opportunity to teach him manor, tricks and other fun stuff since he is so Toy motivated it would be an amazing reward for him. I hope it help but mickey is your dog and I have no doubt you will treat him, love him and care for him the same way you do with you pigs because your an amazing animal dad and an amazing person in general. I really like this video keep them coming and can't wait to see the changes coming to the pig room.

The bacteria and microorganisms in raw food and tripe is very beneficial for the gut microbiome to stay healthy and resilient, maintaining gut and immune system health. Some raw food brands pasteurize with pressure I believe, so that’s something to keep in mind.

    The tan/white colored older chicken looks like a rooster.
    He looks like a game breed and like he's been dubbed. So you can't use the comb and wattles to tell!
    But roosters have very long and pointed hackle (neck) and sickle (tail) feathers. Which he definitely has!
    The hen that you were petting also is missing some feathers on the back of her head. This can happen when they're with a rooster from him breeding them.

    Hello, I love this video how you added all your pets in one to get us to smile 😃. I actually think I'm going to get that vacuum. In need of a new one that is more convenient to pick up them little poops. The piggies are expensive but worth it. And you do take very good care and spend a lot of money on them. One of our piggies might need the incubator also watched her video. Don't pay attention to the backlash of people. That's why I haven't shared pictures of my piggies yet on any channels 😕. They shouldn't sell the cages in the pet store if they're not big enough for the piggies. But we do take great care and try to spoil them when we can. BTW love ❤️ everything you make. We're also using wood shaving still, one day we'll have enough to use fleece and get some of them cuddle houses and the great tunnels you make are so awesome!! 👍 It makes me feel a little bad to watch and not be able to get everything for our piggies. This is a question getting thrown out there? Do you donate any of your old items? My kids are grown up now, but I have two piggies and one grandpig so total of 3. I love ❤️ them I didn't know how much happiness they would 💓 bring to my life 💓. Apologize for such long comment. Just wanted to share today.

    Such a cute dog, i would recommend looking into raw feeding, its alot to take in at the start but there are so many youtube videos ect about it to help, i know its not for everyone i just like feeding animals as naturally as possible and have had nothing but great results after switching to raw

    So i got 2 kittens about a month ago and did some research regarding diet and health issues related to their diet and learnt that puppies should have similar care ( keeping in mind that cats are obligate carnivores and dogs are omnivores)
    1- kibble does not clean teeth its equivalent to people eating cookies or hard/ brittle food
    2- wet food is better than kibble in the sense of it providing moisture to prevent UTIs in the future. Good quality Hydrated kibble is just as good as wet food( dogs are better than cats in drinking water so might not be as important for puppies)
    3- no matter how much water ur pup drinks its not gonna be even close to their daily recommended intake.
    4- raw food is the new thing that seems to keep em healthy but needs alot of research and is quite overwhelming tbh ( its equivalent to giving guinea pigs and parrots their veggies, some people give it as a booster to kibble and wet food while others omit kibble entirely)
    So u might wanna look into it but do not feel pressured into switching ur pup to raw
    And lastly i do not live in the US so idk what food brands u have in pet stores but i heard orijen was widely available in pet shops and its a really good brand.
    I apologize for writing a long comment.

    OMG, Mikey is so living an adorable, I'm very happy for you, he's perfect to complete the family.
    I don't trust hills brand anymore, last year their formula had too much vitamin (don't remember which one) that caused some issues with a variety of dogs. Royal canin is a very good quality brand. He will need the puppy food until he's one year old, and like with pigs you have to switch little by little the old food and the new food so he doesn't get an upset tummy.
    I watched that video from Saskia, very informative. I hope both Winston and Wanda get well in no time. Great video, I love long videos.

      Royal canine can include ingredients like corn which is indigestible, by products which is the unnamed meat source that is too gross to put on the labels, soy or what protein which is basically just veggie meat. You also want meat to be the first ingredient!

    Mikey is super cute, I'm so glad that he has a forever home with you! You've probably received this comment already but unfortunately dry food is not good for teeth, I liken it to a human eating cookies, the only thing that happens is you get cookie crumbs stuck between your teeth. The best thing for maintaining their dental health is raw meaty bones :) A lot of vets don't like raw diets, but that is because if you do it incorrectly it is unbalanced, and an unbalanced diet is worse for you than a balanced mediocre food (such as kibble). Best of luck on your new doggy adventure :)

All other reasons for a head tilt have been ruled out by a vet. She's found someone to be her mom and two best friends. But I haven't found any info on the genetic head tilt. Help?

    AUUUSSTIINN!!! Read me please!!
    I really don’t think Hills is that great but I’m glad it’s corn and soy free as most of their food isn’t like that. I saw other comments recommending Fromm (an awesome Wisconsin based company) Open Farm (kick ass vegan company) and Nurtisouce (easy on the gut). Nutrisouce had a small/medium breed puppy that I think is a great option. Also the thing about kibble being good for their teeth is a myth, the ingredients that binds kibble together is what causes teeth plaque. Wet food isn’t flawed as a whole, companies like First mate and weurva have very clean ingredients. Wet food isn’t as important in dog diets as cats because dogs have the desire and intuition to drink still water as cats do not. If you’re going down the fresh food train that’s AWESOME!!! Just make sure that it’s complete and balanced as most home food isn’t. Just food for dogs has a supplement packet to balance out their recipes which I think is the healthiest and safest option for food prepping for your dog.
    I have been working in the pet industry for a really long time and I love to help!!

    Definately do some research about neutering. It has been shown that you should wait as long as possible, if you at all have to neuter. The lack of growth hormones can affect their bones I believe, and other important functions that impact their health. I have two Tibetan spaniel males, I will not be neutering if it isn’t medically necessary or stressful for the dog to be intact. In Norway it is illegal. Before (yrs back) in Sweden it was illegal as well.

    Everybody saying that he should wait with neutering needs to back off a bit. By now it's probably already done. But it's actually sad to keep them and not neutered and have raging hormones they cannot act upon. They get more calm for a reason once helped.
