More of these please! I find so many people are scared of improving their dogs diet because the internet seems to want to punish people who arent all or nothing raw. Videos like these can help so much!! Loved this.
Had to pause at 3:00 because I just wanted to say thank you for saying what you did about giving your dogs the water that you would drink. My dogs get purified water 24/7 and have been fought on the topic for a while. But it made me smile to hear you say that.
Love your content. Wondering if you had any suggestions on how I can get my 4 month puppy to eat all his food? I'm currently transitioning him to open farm. I've tried toppers, bone broth etc. Thx
Hey Bryce 🙂 I just became curious about adding water to kibble because we’ve been doing it for over a year now. The veterinarian on the RUclips channel Vet Med Corner has just put out a video stating that there are zero documented health benefits for a healthy dog to need added water to kibble , but there are proven serious health reasons to not add water. I’m just asking because your video here was a year ago and I didn’t know if you were aware of the health risks and had more information to add about that…..
Just because there isn’t any research to support this topic yet doesn’t mean logically, we shouldn’t feed our animals dried food for every single meal. We all thrive on fresh whole foods with 70% or so moisture, so what happens when a dog goes to an everyday food with 10% moisture? They could try to drink more water (which you will see many dogs drinking extra water on kibble) but it’s probably hard to compensate for all of that moisture loss on top of the water they already drink. We will continue to add extra moisture to our dog’s food because their bodies are over 70% water and they didn’t evolve eating dried food ☺️
@@thebkpets thank you for your quick response. What about the dangers of bloat and GVD that the vet sites about adding water? She states that the risks out weigh any possible benefits that have not been proven. I’m sorry if I seem like I’m arguing, I’m not, I’m just curious because I know you’ve been looking at food nutrition for dogs for a long time and a RUclips channel (that I trust), feels you are genuine.
No no we love the questions! The reality is, either a dog eats food with water in it or a dog eats food and then goes and drinks water. Volume of food isn’t what concerns us about GDV, it’s more them jumping around and playing right after they eat. Dogs are gorgers, in the wild, they would eat a ton one day, not eat for a few days, and eat again. They can handle water with food as long as they wait to play at least an hour after eating ☺️
@@thebkpets I saw someone ask the vet on the RUclips channel Vet Med Corner what’s the difference between a canned food with a higher water content and adding water to kibble. The vet replied that kibble and canned food were created to be eaten as is, and not to be ingested with added water. In the video, the vet makes reference to a dog food company that experimented with adding water. It created bloating and diarrhea in some dogs, so why risk it was her deduction. I never noticed a problem with my healthy dogs, but recently I noticed a difference in my son’s dog with GI issues. According to a different vet, adding water to her food was putting stress on her pancreas. I know you have multiple dogs. Have you noticed a difference from dog to dog?
@@MG-zv9od this is an interesting idea, and I have an elderly dog who ate only dry kibble his whole life, except table scraps of usually high protein varieties, and he is a little breed, but has suddenly stopped being willing to eat kibble for the most part, I mean he will go 2-3 days with NO food at all to show me how unwilling he is to eat it. Vet says he has dental issues and maybe that's why, whatever the reason I am switching him now to 2 meals per day of wet food mixed with kibble, and he eats it that way. But I did notice before I gave up on the dry food only diet and had tried adding water to a couple different brands I tried him on that it seemed to make him sick, and he also mostly refused to eat it that way. Maybe some dry food ingredient is made unpalatable or more difficult to digest by adding water to it? Not sure. Just thoughts. Either way, I've decided to make my own kibble and keep going with the wet food in between for my boy, I guess. But I just miss being able to leave a bowl of food out all day and know he would be ok, like before.
We do feed a raw diet! Well, two of our dogs eat a raw diet and one eats a gently cooked diet. But we will make content to help those you do feed kibble. What we show in videos is not always exactly what we feed on a regular basis, but it is a product in that category that we trust and recommend
@@thebkpets okay. To me it’s all or nothing but they’re finding research now is even if you give a little fresh food a RAW it helps the cable thanks for making your video

You should make a tour of your dog shelf area!

This is just what I was looking for!
Feeding fully raw or mostly raw is not in my budget at this time so its helpful to find ways to incorporate some fresh foods into my pup's diet 😊
Can Kefir be given with each meal or just one meal a day?
I love this! Your vid’s inspire/teach me to do better (: been 3 months since we’ve done plain kibble and I don’t plan on stopping soon!

Absolutely love your guys content! Have you ever been told you are so similar to Steve on Blues Clues ?! I would totally believe ya’ll were siblings!!
You are going to have some pretty calm dogs 😂🐾
Thanks I will look up the open farm did not know they made raw.
Are grains bad for dogs? Open Farm offers grain included as well as grain free food and I'm not sure what the benefits or drawbacks are.

I love your content! How many times a day do you recommend feeding this type of meal to your dogs?
We feed two meals per day like this with these toppers!
Whoa; i gotta find a poor man's version of this!
Meant to say, just pure raw that is nutritionally balanced
why rinse off the canned sardines in olive oil?
Just went in and looked. There’s just too much in that, but can I ask why you don’t feed a RAW diet just pure barre that is nutritionally balanced

I think the salt content is wayyy to high on your *extras*
Broooo. Keep the dog bowls atleast to the height of their knees. So that they need not bend much.
How did the ancestors eat in the wild? On risers?
@@thebkpets live in the ancestral world. Don't wear cloths . Don't get civilised. Live in jungles. 😑
Dogs have been eating the same things we eat for literally ten thousand years. “No table scraps” is bs dog food company propaganda.
