    *I just had my dog's glands expressed today, because she was doing the butt scouting thing. Her glands were inflamed about a year ago and I know the signs to look for but I am definitely going to try this. Thank you!!!*

    Helpful information, but DIFFICULT TO HEAR DUE TO THE UNNECESSARY 'BACKGROUND MUSIC'. Please consider producing these videos WITHOUT the needless background noise. For people with hearing issues, it is frustrating to separate the dialogue from the noise. (Yes, I realize there is Captions... but if one is listening to a video while performing another task, reading the captions is not possible. Also, sight-impaired people may have issues reading the captions.)

    My dog scoots at times and that stuff is so gross smelling. I started cooking a Vet approved dog food recipe and it does have calcium power as 1 ingredient that I make by grounding up egg shells. (Not sure if that will provide the Calcium you talk about)
    Just started this week.
    I inherited a older pup and I've noticed she is having digestive issues (acid reflux in the form of "vurping"...as she doesn't throw it up but burps and swallows. And she has noisy digestion. With her 1st family they feed her low quality store bought dog foods and some chicken & rice.
    She is special to us and so anything I can do to help her is important to me. ☺️

    • @DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM
      @DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM  2 года назад +4

      There are two types of bone: flat bones and long bones. Long bones are weight bearing bones like femurs, while flat bones are there to protect the organs (like ribs and pelvic bones). Weight bearing bones are more brittle and splintery and they have yellow marrow inside, which makes them a fairly dangerous chew unless they're small. It's less likely dogs will break teeth on flat bones because they're thinner and softer.

      Does your dog have allergies or leaky gut? My old Chili's nickname was Scooter because her bum was rubbed raw from her constant scooting and she was raw fed and no drugs or vaccines. However, she had raging leaky gut and resulting food sensitivities - when I cleared up the leaky gut, the scooting went away, as did the itching. I would consider food sensitivities/leaky gut (they're usually one in the same).

      With any fibre products it is best to take with a healthy amount of liquid as it can cause constipation. If the wet food has ample amount of liquid you can continue feeding it in there, but just be sure you pup is drinking lots of water throughout the day!

We have switched her to raw, she takes a high quality probiotic daily and we add extra fiber to her dinner.

    Great video! We have 3 dogs and 2 of them had anal gland issues but through diet changes one of them has gotten completely better. But my chiweenie still has issues and every once in awhile I do have to help express his anal glands internally when they get to a certain point where diet isn't doing the trick and it seems to be really bothering him. I do agree that it's not something that should be messed with, especially routinely. His anal glands seem to be in the wrong area compared to what I see through articles or videos from vets. His are more at 10 and 2 or 9 and 3 if you were to look at the anus and compare it to a clock. He is overweight which doesn't help matter's. I got him as a rescue when he was 9 months and he was so thin and every time I would feed him he would inhale the food as if someone was going to take it away from him, and then he'd throw up. I had to use a bowl that made it harder to eat fast but he still eats his food faster than my older Chihuahua and then tries to go and eat his food as well.
    I am on disability so I can't afford a complete raw diet but I do give my dogs freeze dried or air dried meat for 1/4- 1/2 of their meals. What are your thoughts on freeze dried or aired dried? I am going to look into some raw recipes and see if I can afford to do a more raw diet because I love my dogs so much and want the best for them.
    I am going to definitely try bone broth and physillum fiber and see if that helps.

    Although most of the advice you gave was really good, it was a bit careless of you to advise people to feed their dogs bones without warning them that the bones should NEVER be cooked. Cooked bones could splinter and puncture the dogs intestines, or cause the dog to choke which can cause death!
    You also suggested feeding beef rib bones, but you should have been more specific about what types of bones small dogs can consume versus what large dogs can consume.
