Omgggg itsssss here!!!!!! Thankyou for responding to my request ❤️❤️❤️❤️ AND for mentioning my channel. You’re very kind!
Question, would there be any difference in calculation for my intact dog?
TECHNICALLY, for calorie calculation you need to multiple the RER by 1.4 for intact males, but I find they still get obese so I still don't use the multiplier. The calorie calculation is the only thing that changes, all the nutrient parameters stay the same regardless if they are fixed or not.
gotcha ! then I probably need to find another food he is willing to eat@@AnimalDocRea
@@AnimalDocRea🥺 I have yet to find a large breed food that’s good. 😭
Remember there used to be no such thing as large breed adult ..,don’t limit yourself to a package that says that
Love the in depth analysis! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
chances you can do an in depth review of the NuVet joint supplement and the NuVet daily vitamin for dogs. Along with a review or evaluation of the Natures Farmacy Dogzymes Probiotic Max. Not sure if it’s something you could do or would consider doing thank you again.! We love your videos! ❤
I’ll try and do some supplements but it’s hard to get any data from them to actually review the product. There is no law that makes supplements follow any testing or lable claims so in general I don’t recommend any but a short list
Good video. The relaxed, laid back Dr. Rea works for me. Bixbi cat food has both adult and kitten. Most of the Rawbble is only available on the website.
Yeah I didn’t even go into where it’s available did I.
THANK YOU
You are welcome
Another great video! The setting is totally fine! I was wondering if you could explain to me the kcals the 2 kcal number for example with this food says 3700 then 454. I noticed the first number is sometimes even lower but the second can be higher with other formulas and that confuses me. Which kcal number do I look at if for example I have a dog that needs to lose weight? Thanks Dr. Rea ❤
The 3700 is per kilogram and the 454 is per cup. Different units of measurement. Not sure if that was what you were asking. You need the kcal/cup to calculate your calories. The kcal/kg is the energy density.
God morning, what are the chances you can do an in depth review of the NuVet joint supplement and the NuVet daily vitamin for dogs. Along with a review or evaluation of the Natures Farmacy Dogzymes Probiotic Max. Not sure if it’s something you could do or would consider doing thank you again.! We love your videos! ❤
I’m not high on supplements, but joint supplements are the exception. I’ll see if I can get the data, lots of these companies don’t have any data Wich makes reviews impossible
Im stressing so much about dog food ! Currently feeding pro plan sensitive stomach. Never had an issue but the recent dog food scare has me going insane so we tried the farmers dog as a topper for optimplus dog food as the base and one of my dogs got pancreatitis, so back to the oro plan for now but im still uncomfortable with it.
I’m sorry you are stressed. If it’s any consolation, I see 2k patients a year. Many feed purina, including lots of my staff. I have seen no illnesses. I think it’s all fear bating to get views and make news. If I was your vet, I’d have no concerns with you staying with your purina if your pet was doing well. But that’s a question for your personal vet. I’ve seen no actual evidence of any health issues though and we are months into this “scare”
@@AnimalDocRea thank you so much for the reassurance
Dr. Rea, I have a question if I may? I’m giving my one cat Hills Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Stress Urinary Care and my other cats have decided to eat it. Is that okay? I just want to make sure they’re alright if they sneak food from his dish every now and then. Thank you kindly for your time.
I love cd multi care for all cats. I think it goes so far from stopping urinary issues, both behavioral and medical. I think it’s great they all love it and it should be fine for everyone. But double check with your vet, I’m sure that question would be a simple over the phone answer and your vet may be just as happy as me to hear it so don’t spare them the good news on my account.
Would love a review of pet supplies brands. Redford Naturals vs Optimplus for adult dogs they advertise as comparable to Purina pro plan. It’s been hard to keep my dog interested in kibble brands that I have tried
I’ve got Redford naturals on my short list to review
Can we see a review on Life's Abundance dog food? It looks like decent food, and customers give good (anecdotal) reviews, but I don't see many people evaluating the kibble.
I guess if there is no evidence based review we better check it out.
I feed my cat as a treat freeze dried minnows. Just 2-3 a day. Her fur seems like its shinier. What is your opinion? They are called PureBites brand. My vet said they are ok to feed.
If your vet says they are fine I’d have to defer to them since they are personally aquatinted with you. In general treats are just occasional special bonuses so they really aren’t going to affect overall nutrition. Just like me when I have a Twix bar on occasion 🤪
Love your videos....thank you for your response
@@AnimalDocRea Do you prefer the left Twix or the right? LOL
I don’t share
@@AnimalDocRea 😥
Hello. I hope I am ok asking again. And off topic. I am staying with cooked meat/fish. However Can you speculate as to why Pottenger's cats flourished on the raw food? From what I understand from going through the book, his research is considered to be a major contribution to cat nutrition.
Pottenger’s “study” is NOT considered a major contributor to cat nutrition by the veterinary scientific community. His findings are largely considered not valid for many reasons that are readily apparent to those trained to evaluate scientific literature. For instance we know almost no details of the diets, the way the cats were housed, and whether or not there were any confounding variables such as the lines of cats, the nutritional adequacy of each diet. In reality there have been no real studies that have shown any benefit of long term feeding raw vs commercial diets and in the absence of any real substantial benefit, the risks out way any perceived benefits.
Short answer, no one knows why pottenger perceived his cats did better on raw and the research was so poor, no one could even try to reproduce it to validate the “findings”
Evidence based vets need actual data, and there is no data. So no, it’s not considered a major contributor to cat nutrition.
@@AnimalDocRea
Thank you for that reply. I see myself sat on a jury trial considering all the evidence from all sides and finally coming to an independent impartial conclusion.
I understand that recently AAFCO updated labeling requirements for dog food and that now, protein, calcium, phosphorus, etc. are shown as “guaranteed analysis” and “min” or “max” for each nutrient. For example, Purina One True Instinct Turkey and Venison lists crude protein (min) as 30%. Ca (min) is 1.0%. P (min) is 0.8%. Because these are minimums, does AAFCO not regulate a maximum? So, could Purina (or any brand) indicate Ca (min) of 1.0% and actual level is 1.5% (which is above the min of 1.0)? I’m thoroughly confused with these changes, especially since it’s not good to have too much or too little of a nutrient.
These aren’t changes, this is how it’s been for years, if not decades. That’s exactly why we don’t use AAfCO on this channel. They only care about malnutrition, (minimums) and protecting consumers from deficiencies. Most nutrients don’t even have a maximum acceptable level
Listed by AAFCO. Also of note, as discussed In the video, we don’t use the garunteed analysis because this isn’t on a dry matter basis. You need to be using the typical analysis on a dry matter basis to have any data of value.
Thanks for the info. TBH, I didn’t watch this video fully because my question was more general. I was actually trying to post it on the Purina one vs pro plan video, but I was having troubles doing so. So, I randomly picked this video. I was hoping to get actual analysis numbers from Purina, but not having very good luck getting a response from them. I find your videos very helpful!
I have a nice foundationals playlist to help you understand what stuff on the label really means maybe you would want to look at for your more general questions. Bravo to you for asking Purina for the numbers, great place to start👍
Could you take a look at Earthborn Holistic dog food smoked salmon anciy grains recipe ?
Already got the info ready to film
Fabulous ! TY@@AnimalDocRea
Im very curious about this food and would appreciate so much if you could take a look. I really appreciate your videos. Its so hard to find dog food content thats not raw based. Thank you.

I have a review of the full nutrisource line coming soon
@@AnimalDocRea that so great to hear I'm excited to see it soon! Hoping to make a switch on dog food asap.
Anyone own a snake? They are carnivores. Feed them a whole mouse twice a week and they are good to go! Happy Sardine Sunday!
