This what I feed my small and medium sized dogs on a daily basis: broccoli, fresh sliced carrots, a few green beans that are lightly steamed then minced followed with lightly cooked ground beef and turkey. the steamed vegetables are mixed together with the lightly cooked meat. Then I add 1 1/2 tsp (medium sized dog) of flax meal, 1/2 tsp chia seeds mixed in with vegetables and meats, and for my smaller dog, smaller amounts of chia seeds and flax meal, and because she is currently at 10 yrs old I also give her 1/8 tsp of turmeric on a daily basis that is mixed in with her vegetable/meat mixed food. One time a week I also give them raw beef liver and at times salmon or no salt added (in water) sardines. 2x/week I give my dogs a pro and prebiotic type of food; Stoneyfield Probiotic PLAIN yogurt and 1- 1 1/2 tsp of pure pumpkin puree. What else should I be adding to my dog's diet? I have seen the raw food diet for dogs, but this I am unsure of; I need help to balance my dogs' current meals so I can be reassured that they are both getting the proper nutrition their bodies absolutely need on a daily basis. I feed my dogs routinely; anywhere from 5:00am-6:30am in the morning and anywhere from as early as 3:00pm - 6:30pm for their second evening meal. Their second meal consists of lightly cooked ground Turkey then lightly steamed and minced cauliflower, peas, and some sort of green colored vegetable.

I have been rescuing pit bulls and have them on a raw diet, however my 5 year old rescue started developing allergies the past 2 years. Once a year for about 4-5 months (usually starting in May ) he gets red inflamed skin, loses hair and it excessively itchy. My other dogs are doing fine and we ruled out mites, fleas and food sensitivity with elimination diets. We are completely baffled.

Hi Dr. Thank you for your video on best human foods for dogs. If I buy curcumin instead of turmeric do I still need to add a bit of black pepper? Thank you
Thank you for a great video ! What proteins are best for dogs I currently use chicken but I want to make sure I’m giving my dogs the best protein options they’re both Maltese/Poodle around 15lbs.
Great video :) I would like to see video about cat raw feeding, most videos on internet are about dogs, so I miss something more about cats. I´d like to know what other stuff than meat (mussle, organs, bones atd.) is good for cats :) what other than that they can benefit from? Thank you :)
Cats are basically carnivores. They need muscle meat, organs, and bone. That's it. Feed a variety. Different kinds of poultry, Beef, pork, fish, etc. They don't need any vegetables and definitely no fruits. And absolutely no carbs such as rice, etc.
I have a female border collie. that gets UTI flair ups (i give her supplements for this daily) I have been feeding them Health Extension Lamb & RIce. My question for you is I have read about Peas being an aggravator for UTI's but I see this ingredient in almost all dry dog good and canned. does this mean only raq peas? should I not add into fresh food home cooked? I do all cooked and healthy scraps to their food. also, should I stay away from white starches?
I need help with making food for my two schnauzer/Scottie’s sisters that have just been diagnosed with kidney failure. I have been mixing a little ground up hard prescription kibble with cooked vegetables and lean meat, alternating meats of salmon, lean chicken skinless, pork loin all baked in the oven. What spices are safe for them
I love the promotion of animal protein and fats. Couple of questions. I think of what a dog would eat in the wild. We have the American wolf. Where would they find their source of turmeric in the wild? I understand they will snack on wild berries to supplement their carnivorous diet. Going back to the turmeric, and the hundreds of studies. Who funds those studies? How would an American wolf acquire high inflammation and require a turmeric source? They do not eat wheat, grains, soy or seed oils in the wild, the source of human inflammation and disease source. Or do they? Other than the occasion raiding of someone's garbage would they consume these in their diet? My thought is feed your pet as similar as possible to what their relatives eat in the wild. Please tell me where my thought could be off. Thank you.
Think about what the animals eat that the wolf eats. Wolves are carnivores and feed on prey from earthworms to animals as large as moose. They are opportunistic carnivores, meaning they will eat a variety of prey animals depending on what is available to them. Most wolves prefer ungulates, which are large hoofed animals such as deer, bison, elk, and moose. They will also eat smaller mammals such as rabbits, beavers, raccoons, and rodents. A lot of wolves will eat fish, especially salmon, and especially during the fall when they are trying to store up extra nutrients in preparation for winter. Sometimes wolves will eat birds, including young or injured birds of prey. In fact, wolves may even prey on young or injured predators of other kinds, especially if food is scarce and they are competing over the same food sources. Some types of wolves will even eat insects as part of their regular diet, and other wolves may eat insects if they are starving and can’t get their preferred food sources. They do eat 100% of their prey including the stomach, entrails and their contents so they dot eat wheat, grains, grasses, soy or seed as many of the wolves prey are herbivores and some are omnivores such as bears. But I have no idea where they would get turmeric.
Hi, I really loved this video! Thank you for creating it:) I was wondering if very finely grounded bones are okay to feed my cat and dog for collogen and calcium?
Thanks so much! ground bone is used very often, and in many cases successfully as a source of calcium and minerals but some studies showed heavy metals and composition of bone is really dependent on what that individual animal ate so its a luck of the draw. Sure fire ways to get calcium are ground up eggshells. Raw meaty bones from grass fed animals would be my suggestion if you wanna feed bones.
I get that you don't like her recipe -I don’t either-, but I didn't find yours overly helpful either. A lot of making fun of a sincere person. Maybe a recipe in place of snarky comments? 😊 Your videos are normally enjoyable and informative. Ty!
Surprised you recommend dried 6:326:35 herbs from those little containers? I doubt they have any benfits at all. Who knows how fresh they are. If your feeding fresh food, why not fresh herbs ?
I enjoy all the information. However, I am concerned about one of the top ten human foods safe for our furbabies, the bone broth. I bought bone broth for my furbaby. Read the ingredients and it had onions as one of the ingredients So I did not give it to my furbaby. Can you please explain that?
I do add a little salt to my dog food which is usually any meat that i am making for myself. The dogs get some of that mixed with the high quality kibble Orijen brand. My two small dogs are now 13 years old and no health issues and are very active. So wandering why the home made dog foods people dont add a little seasoning and not just turmeric. May be because then the dog will not eat other foods with no salt?
We need more details about ways to prepare broccoli to preserve the sulphoraphane. There are ways to prepare it so that sulphoraphane is preserved. This detail is missing.
@@KM-xr5gg For a long time, the oldest living dog was vegan and they’re not obligate carnivores. I am interested in this question for moral reasons as well. I’m asking for information, not a debate.
@@aunumever Even if your correct about dogs not being obligated carnivores and you would feed it a vegan diet for moral reasons, then what about lions and tigers and bears, or house cats for that matter, is it immoral for those creatures to eat meat? There will come a day when the lion will lay with the lamb, and I am looking forward to that day. No debate necessary.🌸
Hey everyone just double checking, this whole list also applies to cats? I do know broccoli and Kefir was mentioned for both but thought I would double check just in case! Thank you
How about a recipe for a low oxalate diet please with any applicable supplements? I've only watched a few of your videos but little less holier than thou attitude would go a long way to making your message more palatable. Pun intended. Thank you in advance.
I just found you today and I’m trying to find the best diet I can feed my picky eater, senior, sensative GI tract and skin sensitivities.. rescue dog.. she’s about 12 lab/boarder collie mix. She weighs about 65 lbs.. and her hips are failing much quicker than supplements are helping with.
Tree of doom?Your kidding, right? Most dogs and cats hate broccoli! Okay, I sometimes get away with adding it if it's well cooked and chopped and mixed in. Everything else sounds great! I don't agree with adding much in the way of fruits and veggies to a cat's diet, however since they are obligate carnivores, unlike domestic dogs. I think they have different needs. Great watch though, it's good to see a knowledgeable professional advocating for our pets, rather than just trying to sell boutique food.❤ I'm a wildlife biologist and rehabilitator and I hate seeing some of these videos!
If you want to feed your dogs real food what foods should you use and how much of each? So an example of cooking food for your dog that will last 1 week.
Here is a base recipe for home cooking for your dog. 80% lean meat of which 10% needs to consist of secreting and non secreting organs such as Liver (Secreting) and Heart (Non Secreting) then 20% vegetable mix, such as Swede, Carrot, Parsnip, Cauliflower, A little spinach and chopped bell peppers that have been well cooked so they break apart when touched with a fork. You can use any mix you want and should alternate frequently. Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground eggshells per 500g cooked food. Cook the meat gently in a little water and only cook the liver for a couple of mins, it should still be raw inside. Don't just feed this though. This is OK as a main meal but you should also feed Sardines (in spring water) Eggs, Yoghurt and Kefir and many other whole natural or minimally processed foods. Some days feed raw such as raw mince (5% fat) with a raw egg for example and also raw meaty bones, for a yorkie I would recommend lamb rib bones. One bone only twice per week should be OK.
Hey! Would be great to get in touch with your kibble company to ask the concentration added. Normally its not very much and you can add some more in. A touch of black pepper will also help its absorption.
I feed my 108 lb GSP Raw balanced complete diet, OC Raw. He seems to get indigestion at night. I feed him a small meal before he goes to sleep so he has food to digest. I wind up giving him Mylanta and it seems to help. I also give him probiotics. My other two dogs don’t seem to have this problem. Any suggestions. Do you think he needs less protein and more veggies?
I don't know your dog's history so its tough for me to give you meaningful advice. Either play with the timing/portions of feeding or try a different formula so you can see what helps and what doesn't. Every dog is different so their ideal diet can look very different than others.
Hi Ive been feeding my dog homemade dog food for about 5 months now i do a variety. Each week i do a different meat. I do a fish meal. It includes the any fish that we catch like sandbass which is a white bass, striper crappie etc. Have to move careful with the ocean fish no swordfish, tuna, macrele, king fish anything with high mercury is dangerous for your dog. I buy can salmon I remove the bones even though they're soft. My fish are usually filet already no skin the salmon in the can has some i use it then some sardines too. I use a can or two in every recipe. I usually have about 4 lbs of fish 2 cans of salmon 1 to 2 cans of sardines and of course I add liver be it chicken beef or veil. Then the rest of the ingredients veg, fruit, pumpkin seasoning, eggs supplements that includes tumeric, pepper, ground ginger root, kelp shitaki mushroom basil leaves, sesame seeds flaxseed all organic vitamin's go in last. I give her probiotic, calcium, joint support supplement, zinc complex with her dinner meal Not an expert but I have seen a big difference in her coat. She is so shiny and soft now and she use to shed horrible now it's very little I mean little I was shocked at the difference. She gets fish every 4th meal prep. I feed fish, beef, chicken, turkey, venison sometimes a mixture of beef and venison. When I first started her on each one though I made small batches to make sure her stomach could tolerate it. She has done really good. I don't use rice in my recipe. I have use a little Quinoa.
Are you asking if there is caffeine in açaí berries? No, the berry does not. You might be thinking of açaí juice infused with green tea, which has caffeine…?
There is absolutely no evidence to support Turmeric being beneficial. If you want to go down a rabbit hole then use Google Scholar ( a search engine that returns only scientific papers) and read some studies on there.
We have a pug. 1 year old. His breeder recommends RAW beef with some organs. Not finding where to get that. We've been using stella along with Open Farms kibble. So that is question 1. RAW and organs, like liver. How? Where to get? Vet thinks he needs to lose weight (21 lb) and recommended we put more veg into his diet. He is solid muscle. There isn't an ounce of fat on him. His dad won best in breed Westminster this year. I was also told vets get overly weight obsessed on pugs when they are young and his weight is fine. What adjustments should we make at his 1 year birthday, last week. What say you?
Mushrooms killed my previous dog. She was a Olde English Bulldog. Mushrooms are toxic to Bulldogs. Now I have an English Bulldog. Also I heard that chicken gives dogs allergies.
Some lady in Australia recently killed a couple of people by putting mushrooms in a beef wellington. Its true look it up. Does that mean ALL mushrooms are deadly? When you say mushrooms killed you previous dog what do you mean? did you have an autopsy performed? was your dog poisoned? backed up with a toxicology report? or did you dog die shortly after eating by coincidence mushrooms?
I am a brand new listener and I really liked your video. I appreciate all your knowledge and I just adopted 15 month old English pointer w/ pyrenees. Great dog that I’ve had him for two weeks he’s doing amazing. And I’m really looking into making his food. I want him healthy and happy and I’m not all impressed with the dog food out there. So I wanted to know what you think about this recipe that I found for Making dog food? * 12 LBS GROUND TURKEY M * 2 12 OZ FROZEN GREEN BEANS * 2 12 OZ FROZEN GREEN PEAS * 14 OZ FROZEN SPINACH * 15 OZ CAN OF PUMPKIN PUREE * TUMERIC * FRESH CARROTS * FRESH SWEET POTATOES * BEEF LIVER STEAKS * WHITE OR BROWN RICE COFFEE Instant Pot. 。Ploo greflas "spinach fresh fro grade Al PUMPKIN
EVERYONE. JUST READ THE FOREVER DOG. RECIPES MUST BE EXACT BASED ON % AND WEIGHT. MACROS MUST BE BALANCED. YOU CANNOT JUST GUESS AT IT. AS HE SAYS GO NUTS. WRONG. FEEDING ONCE A DAY IS GOOD AS IT LIMITS mTOR.
Cats are obligate carnivores and have much different dietary needs than dogs. People I know have fed table scraps to dogs as long as I can remember, with no problems. Chaga mushrooms are great for dogs and cats. Fish or liver, or any secreting organ, should be no more than 5% of a cat's diet. My cats won't eat kafir.
I am so sick of people saying no onions no garlic NOT TRUE for dog food I am 70 years old and have made my own food for many years. My dogs have lived for many years and go to the vet for baby shots and teeth cleaning that is it STOP GIVING ALL THE SHOTS OMG FOLLOW THE MONEY. they have lived to be 17 years old Sabrina a Goldendoodle is now almost 15 muffin lived to be 17 years old med size puddle. I cook in an Instapot all the meat and veggies mainly yellow and orange squash and carrots, peas are just fine too!! And of course garlic and onions and (chicken feet for glucosamine) and guess what jasmine rice too two cups. I use liver, roast beet, and chicken. PLEASE stop making it so hard. For a week's worth of food 2 gallons, one onion and 4 tbs of garlic. I truly hope this helps
@@reesecup6915 Did you not read my post my dogs always eat both onion and garlic for antibiotics and good health I'm sorry but my dogs have always lived long lives 17 years or so, and are very healthy please research this and let me know why you feel this way? And guess what NO FLEES isn't that better than putting poison on our animal. 70 years old here the old ways are better prove me wrong if you can. Kathryn from the heart
@@mizzkathryn7 I’m very happy your dogs haven’t been harmed from onions, but even the top natural holistic veterinarian says onions are toxic and not to be fed to dogs. You apparently have been very lucky to not have your pups affected, but please don’t state that they are safe for all. Best wishes.
Hey all, Dr Francis here. I am VERY happy that you and your dogs had long and wonderful lives together. Unfortunately I've worked with many pet owners who's dogs weren't so lucky and onions did affect their health so its not something I can recommend as a whole. Every dog is different, as is their environment and lifestyle and it all plays a part in a dog's optimal diet. Its not one size fits all. Your diet had many more ingredients than in the video so It wouldn't be a fair comparison as her diet had severe and obvious nutrition gaps. No one is here trying to change your mind. Wish you the best ;)
The plant omega 3s are short chain and carnivores lack the enzymes necessary to convert short chain into long chain, essential fatty acids. Your excessive arm motion are distracting and make your video and you look unprofessional, FYI.
Could you please tell people to stop giving their dogs cheese. It's suppose to be very bad for dogs and for some reason lots of dog owners on the internet are giving it to their dogs as treats and it's become a trend. I believe they develop respiratory problems from it.
A lot of bad advice in here especially "If you can eat it so can your pet." Dead wrong. Many things we eat can kill a dog. Tumeric has Oxolates as does Broccoli. Instead I use Cucumin. He mentions it but does not mention why. To much oil can give pancreatitis.
@@fernboy3 I heard CURCUMIN might be safer but do your own research. I am not an expert. See Carnivore MD and other- they talk about why. I used to do Tumeric but no longer. Also- personally, don't do mouthwash ever.
@@fernboy3 Good for you- and your pups! I believe so but I don't give it. My dog does not have inflammation. If he did, I would find the ROOT CAUSE. You need to be careful with the dosage though and your macros. Many homemade diets are deficient and even dangerous e.g., too much salt, too many oxolates, antinutrients, etc. My dogs diet is fairly simple- lean turky, sometimes quality beef, very light organic veg., a little pumpkin, touch of salt, touch of magnesium powder, light calcium I get from baking and grinding his leftover egg shells- he gets one, 5 minute boiled PASTURED RAISED egg, 3x's a week added to his food. I also add a splash of low sodium chicken stock. You have to get the measurements right. Look up high OXOLATE foods- and avoid them. I can confidently recommend a couple of things to you. pawsofprey.com/product/dog-spreadsheet/ and the book or audiobook called THE FOREVER DOG- Becker. Two dogs in the book she talks about lived to be over 30. Are your dogs healthy now? What do you feed them? *Disclaimer* None of this is advice. That diet is also not a recommendation for you. It is simply what I do. I am not a vet or nutritionist or dog health expert.
@@marisolsullivan5224 Dogs are descendants of wolfs, there are numerous countries where wild dogs roam freely, eating rabbits, mice or whatever they can catch. I bet you only eat boneless skinless chicken!! Humans still eat raw foods, sushi, steak tartare, ceviche. Nothing wrong with a raw diet as long as it includes the proper nutrients. Most homemade dog food doesn’t, that why it should be supplemented with kibble.
Raw diets are the best for cats and dogs….that’s what they eat in nature…..it far out weighs the crap kibble…..which is rendered down a number of times and loads of crap artificial vits and minerals added……potatoes, and crap carbs……to fill it out so the manufacturers can make huge profits and pets die of cancer……and let’s not forget the kidney disease.
Just because you wouldn't eat, it doesn't mean it's not right for your dog. Get out of your bubble, and think about what's right for the animal, rather than what you personally would eat. I don't want to eat hay but it's good for horses.
10) Broccoli
9) Mushrooms
8) Milk thistle
7) Seasoning herbs: basil, oregano, coriander, fennel, thyme
6) Fish or fish oil supplements (animal based)
5) Berries (acai, , blueberry, cranberry, strawberry)
4) Liver (beef, duck, pork)
3) Yogurt or kefir
2) Bone broth
1) Turmeric (with a pinch of black pepper) or curcumin
If you buy bone broth, please read the ingredients. Onions tend to be an ingredient, for seasoning.

I do all cooked and healthy scraps to their food. also, should I stay away from white starches?
I need help with making food for my two schnauzer/Scottie’s sisters that have just been diagnosed with kidney failure. I have been mixing a little ground up hard prescription kibble with cooked vegetables and lean meat, alternating meats of salmon, lean chicken skinless, pork loin all baked in the oven. What spices are safe for them
Get off kibble
Great video and certainly one that eases our minds and hearts. I understood that cooked onion is ok to give dogs. Is that incorrect?
No onions ever!!!!
Onions are poison to dogs, same with garlic. If you get bone broth get one with no onions, the ingredients should be purely bone broth nothing else.
I love the promotion of animal protein and fats. Couple of questions. I think of what a dog would eat in the wild. We have the American wolf. Where would they find their source of turmeric in the wild? I understand they will snack on wild berries to supplement their carnivorous diet. Going back to the turmeric, and the hundreds of studies. Who funds those studies? How would an American wolf acquire high inflammation and require a turmeric source? They do not eat wheat, grains, soy or seed oils in the wild, the source of human inflammation and disease source. Or do they? Other than the occasion raiding of someone's garbage would they consume these in their diet? My thought is feed your pet as similar as possible to what their relatives eat in the wild. Please tell me where my thought could be off. Thank you.
Think about what the animals eat that the wolf eats. Wolves are carnivores and feed on prey from earthworms to animals as large as moose. They are opportunistic carnivores, meaning they will eat a variety of prey animals depending on what is available to them. Most wolves prefer ungulates, which are large hoofed animals such as deer, bison, elk, and moose. They will also eat smaller mammals such as rabbits, beavers, raccoons, and rodents. A lot of wolves will eat fish, especially salmon, and especially during the fall when they are trying to store up extra nutrients in preparation for winter. Sometimes wolves will eat birds, including young or injured birds of prey. In fact, wolves may even prey on young or injured predators of other kinds, especially if food is scarce and they are competing over the same food sources. Some types of wolves will even eat insects as part of their regular diet, and other wolves may eat insects if they are starving and can’t get their preferred food sources. They do eat 100% of their prey including the stomach, entrails and their contents so they dot eat wheat, grains, grasses, soy or seed as many of the wolves prey are herbivores and some are omnivores such as bears. But I have no idea where they would get turmeric.
Hi, I really loved this video! Thank you for creating it:) I was wondering if very finely grounded bones are okay to feed my cat and dog for collogen and calcium?
Thanks so much! ground bone is used very often, and in many cases successfully as a source of calcium and minerals but some studies showed heavy metals and composition of bone is really dependent on what that individual animal ate so its a luck of the draw. Sure fire ways to get calcium are ground up eggshells. Raw meaty bones from grass fed animals would be my suggestion if you wanna feed bones.
I know you said mushrooms are good for your dog, how dog you feel about Lion’s Mane mushroom powder?
Really appreciate this video very much. Thanks so much for sharing.
I get that you don't like her recipe -I don’t either-, but I didn't find yours overly helpful either. A lot of making fun of a sincere person. Maybe a recipe in place of snarky comments? 😊 Your videos are normally enjoyable and informative. Ty!
I would like to know how much of each per day, like a recipe. Don't want to OD on anything. Thanks!
Surprised you recommend dried 6:32 6:35 herbs from those little containers? I doubt they have any benfits at all. Who knows how fresh they are. If your feeding fresh food, why not fresh herbs ?
Tumeric is bad when you have gallbladder issues
I enjoy all the information. However, I am concerned about one of the top ten human foods safe for our furbabies, the bone broth. I bought bone broth for my furbaby. Read the ingredients and it had onions as one of the ingredients So I did not give it to my furbaby.
Can you please explain that?

I do add a little salt to my dog food which is usually any meat that i am making for myself. The dogs get some of that mixed with the high quality kibble Orijen brand. My two small dogs are now 13 years old and no health issues and are very active. So wandering why the home made dog foods people dont add a little seasoning and not just turmeric. May be because then the dog will not eat other foods with no salt?
because dogs don't need added salt!
@@lesliew746 Yes dogs do have a requirement for sodium, only small amounts though.
@@garethjones1632 I would think kibble & treats would have enough that you wouldn't need to add any
@@lesliew746 That's why I don't usually add any, because I feed "Occasionally" commercial treats.

Can you discuss vegan recipe options when creating a dog food?
Dogs are not vegan. So why would you try to force a meat eating animal into eating an unsustainable diet? 🌸
@@KM-xr5gg For a long time, the oldest living dog was vegan and they’re not obligate carnivores. I am interested in this question for moral reasons as well. I’m asking for information, not a debate.
@@aunumever Even if your correct about dogs not being obligated carnivores and you would feed it a vegan diet for moral reasons, then what about lions and tigers and bears, or house cats for that matter, is it immoral for those creatures to eat meat? There will come a day when the lion will lay with the lamb, and I am looking forward to that day. No debate necessary.🌸
@@aunumever You are incorrect, the dog was mainly vegetarian! but he ate lots of eggs, fish etc. NOT THE SAME AS VEGAN!!!!!!

Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching, REALLY????
I think they wanted some advice@@petcubesofficial
Tree of doom?Your kidding, right? Most dogs and cats hate broccoli! Okay, I sometimes get away with adding it if it's well cooked and chopped and mixed in. Everything else sounds great! I don't agree with adding much in the way of fruits and veggies to a cat's diet, however since they are obligate carnivores, unlike domestic dogs. I think they have different needs. Great watch though, it's good to see a knowledgeable professional advocating for our pets, rather than just trying to sell boutique food.❤ I'm a wildlife biologist and rehabilitator and I hate seeing some of these videos!

Can you recommend a good dog food recipe for a yorkie
Here is a base recipe for home cooking for your dog. 80% lean meat of which 10% needs to consist of secreting and non secreting organs such as Liver (Secreting) and Heart (Non Secreting) then 20% vegetable mix, such as Swede, Carrot, Parsnip, Cauliflower, A little spinach and chopped bell peppers that have been well cooked so they break apart when touched with a fork. You can use any mix you want and should alternate frequently. Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground eggshells per 500g cooked food. Cook the meat gently in a little water and only cook the liver for a couple of mins, it should still be raw inside. Don't just feed this though. This is OK as a main meal but you should also feed Sardines (in spring water) Eggs, Yoghurt and Kefir and many other whole natural or minimally processed foods. Some days feed raw such as raw mince (5% fat) with a raw egg for example and also raw meaty bones, for a yorkie I would recommend lamb rib bones. One bone only twice per week should be OK.
Question please. Do I still need to give extra turmeric if it is already in the kibble? Thank you.
Hey! Would be great to get in touch with your kibble company to ask the concentration added. Normally its not very much and you can add some more in. A touch of black pepper will also help its absorption.
What about a diet for dogs with renal issues? I want to make it at home. Thank you.

how much turmeric for 25lb dog king?
I feed my 108 lb GSP Raw balanced complete diet, OC Raw. He seems to get indigestion at night. I feed him a small meal before he goes to sleep so he has food to digest. I wind up giving him Mylanta and it seems to help. I also give him probiotics. My other two dogs don’t seem to have this problem. Any suggestions. Do you think he needs less protein and more veggies?
I don't know your dog's history so its tough for me to give you meaningful advice. Either play with the timing/portions of feeding or try a different formula so you can see what helps and what doesn't. Every dog is different so their ideal diet can look very different than others.
Hell no, don't give your dog Mylanta. Give your dog digestive enzymes for dogs.
It's okay to feed the dog cooked fish, with bones?
Okay I wonder if anyone is well versed in this. Is it the fish meat that is best or is fish skin alright as well?
Hi Ive been feeding my dog homemade dog food for about 5 months now i do a variety. Each week i do a different meat. I do a fish meal. It includes the any fish that we catch like sandbass which is a white bass, striper crappie etc. Have to move careful with the ocean fish no swordfish, tuna, macrele, king fish anything with high mercury is dangerous for your dog.
I buy can salmon I remove the bones even though they're soft. My fish are usually filet already no skin the salmon in the can has some i use it then some sardines too. I use a can or two in every recipe. I usually have about 4 lbs of fish 2 cans of salmon 1 to 2 cans of sardines and of course I add liver be it chicken beef or veil. Then the rest of the ingredients veg, fruit, pumpkin seasoning, eggs supplements that includes tumeric, pepper, ground ginger root, kelp shitaki mushroom basil leaves, sesame seeds flaxseed all organic vitamin's go in last. I give her probiotic, calcium, joint support supplement, zinc complex with her dinner meal Not an expert but I have seen a big difference in her coat. She is so shiny and soft now and she use to shed horrible now it's very little I mean little I was shocked at the difference. She gets fish every 4th meal prep. I feed fish, beef, chicken, turkey, venison sometimes a mixture of beef and venison.
When I first started her on each one though I made small batches to make sure her stomach could tolerate it. She has done really good. I don't use rice in my recipe. I have use a little Quinoa.

There is absolutely no evidence to support Turmeric being beneficial. If you want to go down a rabbit hole then use Google Scholar ( a search engine that returns only scientific papers) and read some studies on there.
We have a pug. 1 year old. His breeder recommends RAW beef with some organs. Not finding where to get that. We've been using stella along with Open Farms kibble. So that is question 1. RAW and organs, like liver. How? Where to get?
Vet thinks he needs to lose weight (21 lb) and recommended we put more veg into his diet. He is solid muscle. There isn't an ounce of fat on him.
His dad won best in breed Westminster this year.
I was also told vets get overly weight obsessed on pugs when they are young and his weight is fine.
What adjustments should we make at his 1 year birthday, last week.
What say you?
find an Asian market, it is hard to find organ meat, other than liver, at most supermarkets. Adding in some uncooked bones could be good as well.
Mushrooms killed my previous dog. She was a Olde English Bulldog. Mushrooms are toxic to Bulldogs. Now I have an English Bulldog. Also I heard that chicken gives dogs allergies.
Some lady in Australia recently killed a couple of people by putting mushrooms in a beef wellington. Its true look it up. Does that mean ALL mushrooms are deadly? When you say mushrooms killed you previous dog what do you mean? did you have an autopsy performed? was your dog poisoned? backed up with a toxicology report? or did you dog die shortly after eating by coincidence mushrooms?
Why didn't you mention bananas?
Bananas can be great for dogs, very true but this was top 10 for dogs and cats so I had to be more fair with the 10 I chose.

Came here to downvote, but looks like you disabled it.
Cats are obligate carnivores and have much different dietary needs than dogs. People I know have fed table scraps to dogs as long as I can remember, with no problems. Chaga mushrooms are great for dogs and cats. Fish or liver, or any secreting organ, should be no more than 5% of a cat's diet. My cats won't eat kafir.
I am so sick of people saying no onions no garlic NOT TRUE for dog food I am 70 years old and have made my own food for many years. My dogs have lived for many years and go to the vet for baby shots and teeth cleaning that is it STOP GIVING ALL THE SHOTS OMG FOLLOW THE MONEY. they have lived to be 17 years old Sabrina a Goldendoodle is now almost 15 muffin lived to be 17 years old med size puddle. I cook in an Instapot all the meat and veggies mainly yellow and orange squash and carrots, peas are just fine too!! And of course garlic and onions and (chicken feet for glucosamine) and guess what jasmine rice too two cups. I use liver, roast beet, and chicken. PLEASE stop making it so hard. For a week's worth of food 2 gallons, one onion and 4 tbs of garlic. I truly hope this helps
Small amount of garlic is fine, but not onions.

@@mizzkathryn7 I’m very happy your dogs haven’t been harmed from onions, but even the top natural holistic veterinarian says onions are toxic and not to be fed to dogs. You apparently have been very lucky to not have your pups affected, but please don’t state that they are safe for all. Best wishes.
Hey all, Dr Francis here. I am VERY happy that you and your dogs had long and wonderful lives together. Unfortunately I've worked with many pet owners who's dogs weren't so lucky and onions did affect their health so its not something I can recommend as a whole. Every dog is different, as is their environment and lifestyle and it all plays a part in a dog's optimal diet. Its not one size fits all. Your diet had many more ingredients than in the video so It wouldn't be a fair comparison as her diet had severe and obvious nutrition gaps.
No one is here trying to change your mind. Wish you the best ;)
The plant omega 3s are short chain and carnivores lack the enzymes necessary to convert short chain into long chain, essential fatty acids. Your excessive arm motion are distracting and make your video and you look unprofessional, FYI.
Funny how everyone on here posting are all doctors
Could you please tell people to stop giving their dogs cheese. It's suppose to be very bad for dogs and for some reason lots of dog owners on the internet are giving it to their dogs as treats and it's become a trend. I believe they develop respiratory problems from it.
A tiny bit of cheese is ok. Mine likes cheddar and mozzarella.
@@annagalati34 who are you?
A lot of bad advice in here especially "If you can eat it so can your pet." Dead wrong. Many things we eat can kill a dog. Tumeric has Oxolates as does Broccoli. Instead I use Cucumin. He mentions it but does not mention why. To much oil can give pancreatitis.
So no turmeric at all? i use organic turmeric cause is anti-inflammatory i’ve seen differents dogs nutritionist recommending turmeric
@@fernboy3 I heard CURCUMIN might be safer but do your own research. I am not an expert. See Carnivore MD and other- they talk about why. I used to do Tumeric but no longer. Also- personally, don't do mouthwash ever.
@@MOAB-UT does curcumin have the same benefits? just asking cause i want the best for my dogs
@@fernboy3 Good for you- and your pups!
I believe so but I don't give it. My dog does not have inflammation. If he did, I would find the ROOT CAUSE. You need to be careful with the dosage though and your macros. Many homemade diets are deficient and even dangerous e.g., too much salt, too many oxolates, antinutrients, etc.
My dogs diet is fairly simple- lean turky, sometimes quality beef, very light organic veg., a little pumpkin, touch of salt, touch of magnesium powder, light calcium I get from baking and grinding his leftover egg shells- he gets one, 5 minute boiled PASTURED RAISED egg, 3x's a week added to his food. I also add a splash of low sodium chicken stock. You have to get the measurements right.
Look up high OXOLATE foods- and avoid them.
I can confidently recommend a couple of things to you. pawsofprey.com/product/dog-spreadsheet/ and the book or audiobook called THE FOREVER DOG- Becker. Two dogs in the book she talks about lived to be over 30.
Are your dogs healthy now? What do you feed them?
*Disclaimer* None of this is advice. That diet is also not a recommendation for you. It is simply what I do. I am not a vet or nutritionist or dog health expert.

@@marisolsullivan5224 Dogs are descendants of wolfs, there are numerous countries where wild dogs roam freely, eating rabbits, mice or whatever they can catch. I bet you only eat boneless skinless chicken!! Humans still eat raw foods, sushi, steak tartare, ceviche. Nothing wrong with a raw diet as long as it includes the proper nutrients. Most homemade dog food doesn’t, that why it should be supplemented with kibble.
Raw diets are the best for cats and dogs….that’s what they eat in nature…..it far out weighs the crap kibble…..which is rendered down a number of times and loads of crap artificial vits and minerals added……potatoes, and crap carbs……to fill it out so the manufacturers can make huge profits and pets die of cancer……and let’s not forget the kidney disease.
Just because you wouldn't eat, it doesn't mean it's not right for your dog. Get out of your bubble, and think about what's right for the animal, rather than what you personally would eat. I don't want to eat hay but it's good for horses.
