what would you recommend for ongoing pro and prebiotic supplement support?
124 dollars a week to feed both of my dogs lady you are on crack
My you thought of everything. People who care and love their fur friends enough to make sure that their pets get the best nutrition have many points of light in their crown of glory. You know you are giving them the best. Thankbyou for being this kind of pet parent.
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ruclips.net/user/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
I checked this book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSw1k29V8f0aNwyGI6qRGYJc3E4Y4Eoxy out at the library - read it cover to cover - and then decided to purchase it, so i can refer to it as needed. This provides additional ways to train in addition to the two obedience classes my sicx month old belgian malinois has already attended. Despite having dogs my whole life, i have been voraiciously reading dog training and psychology books lately given my little "maligator" has a mind of her own (extremely smart but obstinate) , and this one ranks among the best.
Really disappointing to watch a 13 minute video and not get a summary with a preferred choice and why. "Which one do you like better?" doesn't help me - i want an informed opinion so I can choose one...
Because she make commission on both of those brands
The Farmer's Dog has been a life changer for my dog. He was literally on death's door. I think part of the problem was poor nutrition. He is doing so well now, I would not want to risk making any changes. Thanks for you informative reviews.
Yeah, remember paying thousands of dollars at the vet, my 3 y/o dog never played. She always looked jacked up. Since farmer's dog my dog is a different dog playing etc, & not one vet visit in the year since farmer's dog
We’ve been feeding our pup TheFarmersDog for a few months now and she loves it. We ran out end of last month and I ended up making some at home until the next delivery.
My Shipoo has allergies… what would you recommend?
@@queenbutterfly4888 contact the Farmers Dog. They may be able to offer suggestions. I have found them very helpful.
My rescued lab mix ate chicken most of her life (this was when I was young and less educated). She developed a severe allergy to chicken and the vet pulled all poultry around age 11.5. She had lost 15lbs and I thought she was going to die. I did hundreds of hours of research on how to make my own dog food for her and she is still here at age 14 and has gained all her weight back. Now that she is nearing the end of her life, due to age, I am continuing my educational journey. Thank you for all of your time and sharing so much with us. 🙏🏻❤️
I’m in the same spot and would love to hear what recipes you cook for your dog. I feel like I just haven’t found the one yet and my poor baby won’t eat
My 12 yr old dogs allergy to chicken has recently worsened and I’ve been trying to find the right one, which one did you go with?
😅I@@Rena0Dawn
i would love to have your recipe
My 2 year old mini Aussie has been eating Ollie for about 8 months now. We started with the mixed meal plan. She loved it right away, not much difficulty with transition (we followed steps provided). Around the holidays a lot of supply issues started to occur. The baked food was no longer available so Ollie was nice and switched to fully fresh food for same price.
Once the baked option became available we decided to just stick with the fresh food. She rotates between all the flavor options. She is happy and healthy and loves meal time.
Cost is definitely expensive but y’all know how it is that’s our child so we make the sacrifice so we can have as much time with her as possible
Which one do you feed your dog? Do you feed both Farmers Dog and Ollie?
Excellent investment since their love and laughter provoking antics feed your soul! Mo green
❤❤❤😊
You have no idea how helpful this was! Thank you Rachel 😊 💓
Thank you so much for such a detailed review! I had just ordered my first box from Farmer's Dog when I watched this video, and I am even more excited now after hearing about the DIY plans offered because I absolutely love making treats for my dog and would love to play with healthy recipes.
LOVED this helpful video. Wanted to add: My bro-in-law's dog's teeth were having issues (loose, etc). His vet suggested adding dry kibble to help with those issues and it did. He always fed his dog super high qual soft food. So I thought you might like to look into that and do a spec video... espec since Ollie offers that. Thanks!
Just ordered Goliath's first box of Farmer's Dog. I can't wait! I have been thinking about it for a while, and this video just shared all the answers I was looking for. Thanks!
Hi Rachel I love watching your videos because they are SO informative. We just got a pup named Finnley and you've helped us so much. Please do a review on Spot and Tango for both their Unkibble and Fresh dog food if you get the chance because we would love to see your input on this with the knowledge that you have! Thank you so much!!
I LOVE your videos Rachel Fusaro!!! Thank you for all you do and helping up save all the dogs and providing us with the best health and training tips for our dogs! Please keep doing all that you do and if you can, can you please review Nulo Dog Kibble in your next kibble review?
This was such a well crafted review! Thank you!
Really loved the info in the video, the comparison between the 2 brands. Farmers Dog have that nutri mix is a plus but olly have the baked kibble human grade very interesting both of them. Because I can comment in every video, Rachel what you have been doing reviewing different things you can give your dog is very helpful, I remember when I get my first dog it was overwhelming how many products are for dogs these days. Thank Rachel for your hard work.🙏😆
Thank you Rachel for giving your time and providing such detail in your presentation. Excellent work.
I just started Farmer’s dog. I still use Hills Science sensitive stomach kibble but I’ve reduced the amount I’m giving my Labrador and mostly using the Farmer’s Dog. My big boy Bear loves it and it doesn’t bother his stomach at all
Please review Origen regional kibble. I’ve actually been doing this for the last year combining myollie and Origen puppy kibble and now Origen regional. I tried going fully raw but my dog doesn’t seem to do well with full raw so went back to lightly cooked myollie. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Rachel- love your videos! I recently started with Farmers Dog and my pup loves it! I am a bit concerned about the lack of grains. I’m considering making grains (brown rice, barley, or quinoa) and adding in. Your thoughts?
Thank you so much for this Rachel!! I decided to look into this because of Biscuit’s IG sponsored ads I’ve been seeing lately
We used The Farmer's Dog DIY Nutrient mix to home cook fresh food for several months, and it was about a quarter less expensive (including the price of buying foods from the grocery store) than their regular dog food, and I was able to use organic ingredients. It would probably be even cheaper if you aren't using organic ingredients. It does mean having to cook, but their recipes are easy to follow and don't require any difficult to buy ingredients. The downside is that one of my dogs had problems with how high the carbs were in their recipes, so we had to cancel and put her on a lower carb dog food. When I contacted them, they said that they were considering creating lower carb recipes, and I'd love it if others let them know that they're interested in lower carb dog food.
question, what were the signs that you knew the carbs were a problem?
As always, a helpful review for all of us pet pawrents 🐾 my 16-week old Cockapoo is currently on the mixed bowl plan with OLLIE and he is loving it! He licks every meal clean. The puptainer and scoop that comes with Ollie is amazing. I love that it is included in the initial order. I use them both every meal time. The scoop also has measurements, so it is always so easy to scoop the slowly baked kibble and add the fresh food to the right measurement. I currently mix them instead of using the fresh food as topper. Thanks for this video Rachel! Bless up 🐶🐾
Definitely would love a deep dive into the Ollie Baked Kibble! I m debating between the two
I love this video. Very interesting and informative. I would love it if you could do a deep dive into First Mate kibble for dogs. I feed this to my two and they love it but I'd really like to know if it's good food! Thanks so much!
Your made a great video with so much important info!! Thank you!!!❤
Great review! Ive been struggling trying to find the right brand for my furry friend! I just started with GetJoy, my pups seem to be loving it thus far. How long do you stay with a brand for? Great idea on the switching up proteins. Thank you!
Thank you Rachel for this honest review. I'm new to your channel and just loving the info. I just subscribed. My dog has been eating Nom Nom for almost three years. HIs coat looks amazing. I switched because he keeps getting terrible yeast infections throughout his whole body. I also have him on probiotics. Nothing seems to be helping. Have you ever given your dogs fermented foods? I'm at a loss for my poor guy.
Hi Rachel, thank you for another informative video! I would love to see a video comparing complete and balanced raw food brands such as primal, stella and chewys, small batch, etc.
Rachel Thank You for ALL your wonderful videos! We all love our dogs! Do you know anything about Pet Wants? I recently received a sample and my puppy who is not food driven devoured it?
Thanks for your videos they’re always extremely helpful can you go into more depth on the Ollie kibble.
I've tried them both and love them both. I can text Farmer's Dog pretty much any time of the day or night and they will get back to me. Not a deciding factor but it is very convenient. Kudos to both companies!❤❤❤
I so agree! The Farmers Dog customer service is fantastic- all the time! They actually GIVE you their phone number up front and do not make you “chat” w/ a bot. As an older gal, technologies is not as easy for me and I love being able to talk a real person🩵
Does anyone else have misgivings about very small quantity of food contained in each portion? Our two smallish dogs love the Farmer's Dog food, but it looks like such a tiny portion in their bowls, and takes them around 30 seconds to eat. FD will tell you that this is because their food is 'nutrient-rich', but I worry that my dogs will still feel hungry after they've eaten, because there's no bulk (what used to be called 'roughage') to this food. (I've noticed that the actual portion size is absolutely NOTHING LIKE the huge portion shown in the FD television ads!) So does anyone else feel there's not enough bulk in these foods to fill up your dog, or am I worrying unnecessarily?
have u weighed each pack you get?
@JameGoFast I totally agree my dog has never acted still hungry before until I try these small portions. I have had lots of dogs over the years and none of them would have been satisfied on such small portions it's not just you.
❤️🇺🇸❄️😇🐕😇❄️🇺🇸❤️
@@JameGoFast I'm not sure what weighing the packs would tell me. My dogs are receiving the amount of food calculated for them by FD - it just seems like so little food each portion.
@@treasuretrovel3816
You write: "If they maintain their weight then the recommended portion sizing is right for your dog." But if you read my post I'm not talking about the nutritive value of the portions, I'm concerned at the small SIZE of them - their lack of bulk. No matter how well-balanced are the portions, if my dogs are still hungry after they've eaten because they aren't satiated, then they'll be looking for alternative food sources all day.
You further claim that making the food yourself at home and adding calcium vitamin/mineral powder "gives the owner complete control over the quality of the meat." This sounds terribly naive. Unless you're raising cattle or chickens on your own farm and killing and processing them yourself, you have no control whatsoever over the quality of the meat. American food quality regulation is extremely lax compared to other developed countries - for both pet and human food. Quality control usually consists of companies cutting whatever corners they want, followed by people getting sick (or dying), followed by a limited recall, followed by...well, business as usual.
Also, you cannot know what's going into the vitamin/mineral powder, because like all US vitamin and mineral supplements, that stuff isn't regulated either. It doesn't have to comply with any FDA standard; and we all know what a terrific job the food and drug industry does of regulating itself.
My mom's dog used to eat her food in about 20 seconds. I use a lick mat for The Farmer's Dog food. It typically takes her 5-10 minutes to eat now. This has helped tremendously.
please review the Ollie baked kibble - possibly comparing it to another high grade baked kibble like The Honest Kitchen. I spend six months of the year in a small Van and don't have the refrigerated storage to feed my dog fresh food! So I'm always looking for high grade dehydrated and baked options. Thanks
Excellent video thank you so much! Can you talk about Ollie’s kibble option? Thanks
Excellent content. We have been using Farmer’s Dog for the past two years and our border collie, Zoe, is healthy and happy. 🐕❤️
There’s no issues with mold?
Thank you for your posts, I have so many questions.
My soft wheaton terrier has skin and food allergies.
I don’t feel like the vets we’ve encountered, don’t truly have answers.
Also, what are your thoughts on supplements?
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video! Wonderful. I have been doing the Farmer's Dog DIY for about 3 months. Previously, I home cooked for my Gus on my own since 2015. He is 11. I have to admit, I was not used to (or comfortable) with feeding him carrots and sweet potatoes all the time, and white rice. Their DIY recipes, at least for turkey, don't have much variety. I still don't know why white rice is the preferred grain and not brown. They suggest to not substitute ingredients. When I cooked for him using my recipes, I would usually rotate 3 different veggies every 3 weeks (ex. broccoli, zucchini,, kale then next cook, green beans, spinach, cucumbers). So, really not used to there not being a lot of variety to work with on the Farmer's DIY. I guess jury is still out, for me at least. Gus is having a blast. Then again, he has been loving meal time since he was a kid.
Native pet was an amazing suggestion from you! My dog looves yak chews and I've used probiotics, calm chews and pumpkin powder too. My dog's favorite y Bones and Co, Im usually use it as a topper since he is still growing, but he will swallow it whole haha he loves them!
I'm loving your food series, thank you! Can you review Carna4? It is a lightly baked kibble. I feed my Yorkie half Carna4 and half Primal raw, she seems to like it, I just hope its a good combination. Thank you!
Thank you, excellent video as always. Can you do a review of “just food for dogs” soon?
I have been using Farmer's dog for over a year now as I keep rotating 3/4 meat recipes every 2 months and agree that my Mango (goldendoodle) needs variety. He is excited to eat his food every single time, very energetic, never had issues with poop and coats healthy. I agree to the packs being a bit difficult to takeout/feed but I love Farmer's Dog through and through and so does my pup.
I was a bit concerned about the additives but I think this is the best human grade food I could feed my pup during our busy schedules. And I also agree to the long term health effects of feeding kibble (high in carbs) compared to fresh food and the meat byproducts instead of organ meat in Farmer's Dog
Farmer Dog was a favorite then my dog stopped eating the food regardless of the flavor. But the moment we switched him to Ollie, introduced the lamb dish. My pup, Benson, was in heaven, he is a picky eater. I appreciate the flavor options. Ollie has variety of flavors that works for us.
Thank you for turning us on the Native pumpkin powder. Saving grace for a dog with a sensitive belly.😊❤
My puppy also refused to eat Farmer's Dog after a while. I also noticed the food smelled a bit sour and was watery. It seemed like they changed something when they began sending larger sized packages. Now my puppy eats Ollie and loves it.
Same here my Boston puppy. I first started him farmers dog he ate it for a month then just refused to eat it . I was surprised. Switch to Ollie lamb and he loves it. Been feeding it to him 8 months already.
It was thoughtful of you to find a similar replacement for your pup -- Kudos!!
Hi Rache thank you for doing this review!! Have you tried Nom Nom?
This was great!
I would love to see your opinion on lifes abundance kibble. The all stages & the all stages grain free.
I’m adding more fresh now, using a toppl & other puzzle feeders for that. I like to use kibble in the bowl for convenience.
I get that brand for my dog too (the all life stage) but am switching to kirklands lamb and rice. Similar ingredients for half the price.
I am sticking to their agility supplement. Havent found another joint supplement thats even remotely better.
I love your videos Rachel! I’m having a hard time finding the best food for my sheepadoodle. He is 7 months old and even including pumpkin from nativa his stool still too soft. I have tried hills, Nulo Acana whole grains and now honest kitchen clusters but looking at Ollies reviews. I appreciate your feedback 😊
If you're having issues with loose stools, I always recommend Fresh Pet. There's just no comparison. It's not that their food is the best or most nutritious, so I wouldn't say only feed your dog Fresh Pet. But I've noticed many times as soon as you get a dog on Fresh Pet their stools are picture perfect, dark and compact. I don't know what they figured out at the company but it's impressive. There isn't any transitional period either as the food is hydrated / fresh, it won't dehydrate a dog like kibble.
Hi Rachel. I do agree on Ollie’s cancellation policy which makes it difficult. I used them years ago & didn’t go back. I would love to try farmers dog & see how my Sammy likes it. He has no issue to switching foods. I just use gut enzymes for dogs & just takes a day or two.
We have a very picky Pug named Maggie she refuses to eat her dog food. I’m glad I came across your channel (new subscriber) I believe I’m going to have to check out Farmers Dog! Thank you for sharing all this info on both dog foods. I’m really hoping she will like the Farmers Dog.
I have received two Farmer's Dog orders now and I received the disposable container with both boxes. My Boxer/Beagle checks out her bowl every time she goes by it when going in and out. And about 30 min before feeding time, she gets in my face until I get up and follow her ... to her bowl. She loves this. I have a wire tray thing in my chest freezer that stores the food great She followed me down to the chest freezer when I got the second box. That is something else she now does. Takes me to the top of the stairs. I haven't tried Ollie. I also ordered your pumpkin. She doesn't seem to care much for it. But on the Farmers Dog food she sniffs, looks at me, sniffs again then eats. Without the pumpkin she dives in and gobbles it up. Thank you much for your review.
Good review👍 I love your honest opinion and I’m learning a lot from you. Thank you.😊
Thank you so much for this video- I have ordered farmers dog several times. I didn’t know they had a diy option until now. I’d love to hear your opinions on the nutrient pack in the future and how that correlates to your existing diy raw food diet 💓
One thing I have a conscious issue with is the sustainability of the plastic packaging in these delivery services. I like that farmers dog has taken the step for their degradable external packaging and I hope they make advancements or systems for the packing of the meals themselves.
Farmers Dog now has a reusable container to store the food in. It is quite nice actually. I just started this week so before I continued I wanted to watch more reviews. Thank you for this!
I cut the farmers dog pack on the end. Then Squeeze out half in to the bowl. Then fold the pack over and place the pack in the contaner. My container stayed clean. Thank you for your review.
Thank you so much, you answered every question I was wanting.
Definitely a deep dive into the baked kibble! I’d love that!
I feed my dog Pet Wants food and I would love to see how it ranked.
On it!!
Can you also review/rank the Nulo dog food kibble?
I would love to know what you think about Honest Kitchen, please!
We use Royal Canin dry kibble and the can (wet) - it's the Low Fat Gastro-Intestinal which is actually a prescription food. But they offer others that aren't prescription. Wonder how this ranks with health ingredients.
You don’t have to cut the farmers dog bag in the middle, you cut at the top and squeeze from the middle up. Which is what it was designed to do.
Hey Rachel great Video! We have a 1 year old golden Doodle and we started out with the science diet but we are switching the food cause we want a better and healthier option.
We noticed he's been itching a lot and really believe its related to what he is eating. Question? >> I saw your list of dry foods, and really like the Open Farm dry kibble for what it offers and the price. Do you think we should get the Homestead Turkey & Chicken option as the kibble base since we are considering getting real food as a topping? The real food we are considering is either Ollie or The farmers dog. Our plan was to change the topping with different options like Beef, chicken and turkey. In other words which one would you recommend from the Open Farm brand to be the main Kibble? Would love your recommendations. Thanks again for all that you do! We have seen a lot of your vides! :)
I’ve never tried either of the brands, but from what I saw in the video, I think I’d rather choose The Farmer’s Dog (mainly because I felt it was it was more customizable and because of the amount of carbs compared to Ollie). I also LOVED this video and thought it was really interesting! Although I don’t have any specific brands that I want to see being compared, I hope there are more videos similar to this in the future :)!!!
As do I..
Wow, thank you for all your valuable info
? Rachel, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Is it ok to just use organic canned pumpkin instead of the powder? I am guessing because it's shelf stable/convenient? thx
Can you do a video on cooling, warming and neutral proteins? I would love your thoughts on this.
I watched this video because I am planning to switch over to a raw based diet for my dogs. The farmer's dog offers venison, which I really like for dogs. I get some from my neighbors who hunt but would like a more consistent source. I did have to smile at the care you take for switching your dogs to a different food. My dogs are actual farm dogs and you never know from day-to-day what they get into to eat, from horse manure to some long-dead roadkill that even the vultures left. But I did enjoy this review and found the information in it useful.
Farmer's dog venison? They don't have that option?
Hi Rachel! Thanks for your video. Any chance you can review Spot & Tango “unkibble.”
On a separate note. Please please please do a video on car sickness. My 5 month old pup is salivating and vomiting when we take her on drives. Working with vet, but any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🐶👋✨
I have two pups, 1 doesn't care what he eats but the picky eater preferred Ollie so that's what we're using. Great review!
Curious about your views on these vs a premade raw like Bones & Co? I have tried both Ollie and Farmers and it felt like I was getting a ton of veg and water filler in both. My pup kinda resumed having big kibble-like poops again on them, as well. (premade raw actually works out cheaper for me than going full fresh w/ these 2 - and ingredients on most premade raw look far better, so not super clear on why these 2 are actually more costly.)
We have been using Farmer’s Dog fresh food for close to two years now and are really happy with it.
I'd love to see you also review Nom Nom. I started with Farmer's Dog and Nom Nom and have settled on Nom Nom for now because of the packaging. I would have to divide my little dog's pack into 4 meals with Farmer's Dog and it was kind of a mess. I'm doing a mix for my larger dog because of cost. I've been trying kibble like Spot and Tango, Badland's Ranch, and Sundays. I would love to get your take on these gently cooked kibbles. Oh, and Bixby's Liberty that I think is steam cooked kibble.
Same thing happened with my puppy. At first Farmer's Dog sent small packs that I would feed 1/2 per day. That worked out OK. Then they switched to large packs that I would have to feed 1/4 per day and it was very messy. Also my puppy refused to eat it at that point. It was like the recipe changed. Now I feed her Ollie, and she loves it, but I also plan to check out Nom Nom.
I’ve tried millions of brands for my extremely picky eater… and from both of those he liked ollie better… but then after a couple of months he stopped eating it (as usual) so right now we are on Sundays and so far I like it … I’d like a review on them and spot and tango unkibble… :) thank you Rachel for your videos love them all!
I do Purina Pro Large Breed puppy (they are 18 months) kibble In the morning and make there meals at night. I actually make 10 days worth and freeze. They definitely like homemade better. I am going to try the farmers dog and Ollie. Thanks for the review
I would love to see an Ollie baked kibble review!
Great enlightening video. Thank you!
Hello. Thanks for your review. How many ounces is the farmers dog and Ollie food packages???
My 5 month old puppy eats a mix of The Farmers Dog and Royal Canin puppy kibble. She lives both.
Thank you for this video! We are excited to try Farmer’s Dog!
Hi Rachel. Have you tried Badlands Ranch? We don't have freezer space for the frozen raw foods, so Badlands' air dried SuperFood is a good choice for our chihuahua. He loves it. I'd love for you to review it! Thanks😊
I’ve used Farmers Dog for the last 2 years with my frenchie. She absolutely loves it!!!! I rotate between meats as well and I do see a big difference in her coat and muscle. Everyone says she looks very healthy :)
I started my puppy on Farmer's Dog in April 2022. She loved it at the very beginning. But as time went on she lost interest and it was hard to get her to eat it. Then when Farmer's Dog made the packages a lot bigger my puppy refused to eat it at all. The food would seem watery after defrosting, and the packs were so big I would be feeding only 1/4 pack per day. At that point it was very messy. Then I turned to Ollie, and I much prefer the small packs because my dog only weighs 8 lbs, so I feed her half a pack of Ollie per day. The consistency is not watery. It's over all easier on me and my dog prefers it. With Ollie she runs to her bowl and stands up on her back legs with excitement. She gobbles it down immediately.
The only thing about Ollie is I can't really tell how many calories there are in a pack. The info says 1298 kcal ME/kg. and I don't know what that means. How do I translate that to regular calories?
Great video I was wondering about this food. Would you be willing to review of Kiwi Kitchen Freeze dried Raw?
My Mini-Bernedoodle boy just turned 1 and has eaten Nutisource small- medium puppy food since he was weaned. We add Stella and Chewy freeze dried raw dinner patties (add water)…. He’s 1 now and unsure if we need to advance his diet- and to what?
Thank you for any advice!
I'm getting a 8 weekn old austrailian labradoodle next week and the breeder recommends Fromm Puppy Gold. I figured the carb. content, based on your suggestion and i think it is pretty high. (45%) ? How soon Can I switch the puppy to half raw and half kibble? I'm on a bit of a budget. Or straight kibble. I watched on the process to switch but dont know how soon I can do it? Thank you. I'm so happy I found you! I'll be working on crate training and potty training immediately next week. I hab]ve to find the leash training in the house video. Thank you. Paula Lafferty
Please do a review on Fromm kibble! I currently feed our goldendoodles 1/2 Farmers dog and 1/2 Fromm and would love to hear your opinion. Ty!
I recently found your channel and of course I subscribed right away! Excellent information and a ton of it! I've always had dogs, both as a child and as an adult. I would love if you could review the kibble Nutrience Sub Zero. I'm in Canada and I love that it's Canadian made. The ingredient list looks good ... I think? LOL Human grade sourced protein, high protein count 38% and first ingredients are all meats. (Deboned beef, deboned lamb, deboned wild boar, beef liver, lamb liver, wild boar liver, deboned bison, pork meal, lamb meal, salmon, herring, cod, cod liver and then fruits and vegetables... ) They also have different choices... fish, poultry, beef and lamb.
I have a dog who has been on several different foods in his first few years (VET recommended for allergies) and my dog kept developing rashes. He has been on this food since he was 4 yrs (he is almost 9) and no more rashes. Sidenote... I understand raw fed has great benefits but for personal reasons prefer a kibble. So was wondering your thoughts on this specific line?) Thanks
The problem with FD is your dog will starve to death if you use their recommended portions.
Bark Box kibble please! I've been feeding my 5 month old puppy that for a few months now (there was a good deal for the first order being half off). Puppy hasnt had any issues, just wondering if I should search for a better option. I started mixing half and half with Farmers Dog a few weeks ago, and she's loving it! Planning to keep it a mixed diet, as that is what fits our budget, so i want to make sure i find a great affordable kibble. Thanks!
I have done farmers dog food for my pup but over time their food quality and consistency decreased so I stopped purchasing it. Would love a review on spot and tango’s unkibble! I currently feed my dog a combo of the unkibble and victors kibble, he loves it
Spot and tango has terrible customer Service. Complete unreliable company.
it is all a matter of money... you got to own the facilities and have a lot of money to run a problem free company... rc in my opinion is the best in history when it comes to this and i wish it was not true since i am the first one who would buy farmer's dog... i really wish there was something out there that could work for many years with no digestive issue... i really do.... only thing i found is rc which might cause other issues that cause other problems when old this i cant say for sure.... but not with the digestive tract..... this i am sure
Do you do a transition period when changing proteins?
I just bought Farmer's Dog to mix in my dog's kibble! I'm very excited to feed him something fresh! Can you do a review on Diamond Naturals dry kibble if you haven't already?
Ollie helped my dog so much, he is part Maltese and was getting bad allergies and orange around the face and with Ollie it’s cleared up and he’s like a new puppy! 10 years old now and still active.. i did try farmers dog also very good, it was the packaging for me that i didn’t like. So. Both great lol
BRAVO!!!
BRILLANT!!!
WAY TO GO GIRL!!!
A LEG UP!!!
I LOVE THAT YOU ARE USING YOUR EDUCATION AS A NUTRITIONIST FOR YOUR BELOVED FUR FRIENDS! YOU CERTAINLY HAVE MUCH LOVED LUCKY DOGS.
MOST INCLUSIVE & INFORMATIVE. YOUR REVIEW IS VERY DETAILED AND COMPLETE. IMPRESSIVE. MO GREEN
A video on allergy testing dogs and wether it’s worth it would be awesome. My puppy has been scratching her face above her eyes and rubs her face, I bought her the native chews and fish oil but I’m wondering if it’s all the dust from the house or the food she’s eating
I had my Silky Terrier skin tested for allergies at Michigan State U. vet clinic with a dermatologist. Skin testing in humans and dogs is usually considered the "gold standard." My dog was definitely allergic to some trees, grass, dust and mold. I gave him allergy shots from the special mixture of serum made up at MSU. It takes a while. After about a year, I could see a marked difference in the scratching. It was much better, almost gone. This is just my experience. I hope this is helpful!
What are those cool bowls you have? I love that they can really get in there, as opposed to the metal bowls we currently have for our little guys!
I’d love to see more comparison videos on dog food delivery services. I know there are other options like NomNom that are also popular. An Ollie baked Kibble review and a Farmer’s Dog vitamin pack deep dive would be great too! I’d also be interested in your opinion on freeze-dried and dehydrated options like Muenster and Dr Mercola.
I’d also appreciate a deep dive into supplement recommendations. I know you’ve already done some on Native pet and Kin and Kind supplements. I have also tried some from Dr Mercola and a few other brands and I’d be interested to get your thoughts on essential supplements from brands you’ve tried.
I actually give my dogs both Ollie and Farmer’s dog. My Yorkies eat Farmer’s dog and my toy poodle eats Ollie. One of my Yorkies is allergic to berries so he can’t have Ollie. I like the veggies in the Farmer’s dog meals but I think I prefer Ollie overall. It has ingredients like fish oil from anchovies and chia seeds and lamb which are great additions that aren’t that common. I also like the organ meats and fewer synthetic vitamins. I don’t love some of the ingredients with carbs and lectins in Ollie recipes, but I usually just pick some of those out so they aren’t the dominant ingredients. I do give them supplements and meat based treats so they’re still getting a decent amount of protein. I love the packaging and convenience of Ollie compared to Farmer’s. It’s sooo much better! The one thing is if my Yorkies don’t eat the veggies in Farmer’s then I give them to my poodle lol. He probably gets the most well rounded diet out of all of them.
I think the cost is actually fairly similar when you compare the costs for small dogs. Ollie may cost more for bigger dogs, but the cost for smaller dogs really isn’t that different than Farmer’s if I recall correctly. Ollie is either about the same or maybe even slightly less. Both brands have their pros and cons so it just depends on your dog’s Individual needs and preferences. I think both Farmer’s dog and Ollie have great customer service. They’re usually very nice and accommodating if I have any questions or issues pertaining to my orders.
We use Farmers Dog for our Sophie after using Dr. Marty’s raw kibble. Our vet had a fit about feeding raw food. Had many concerns about it so we switched to FD. I can’t say enough about how convenient it is for us as Sophie’s parents but after a month she is showing signs of not wanting to eat. So now I am not sure what to do. She loved Dr. Marty’s food but now I am afraid of how harmful it could be to her. So the plot thickens and we go on a search for something she likes but is healthy for her. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for this I was just looking at both brand trying make an educated decision. You did more than that. Now I need to know if it’s actually ok for a 3 Lb Shih Tzu puppy. I’ve already transitioned him from the kibble that the breeder had him on to Ziwi Peak Beef., but after listening to this I m wondering if it would be better to buy different proteins of that brand. I’ve lost 2 Shih Tzus to cancer, one was stomach cancer. Both had GI problems. I never want to lose another dog to cancer.
i immediately ran to native pet & ordered a can of the pumpkin powder 🩶 my husky/shepherd mix has tummy issues and i can’t figure out why. it doesn’t matter what food i give him. he loves pumpkin so hopefully he likes this & it helps sort some of the tummy issues. and maybe switching him to a fresh food
My 1 year old female 55lb Golden Retriever is on a mix of raw and kibble. Oma’s raw chicken and veggie mix and Royal Canine golden puppy kibble which I am about to change to adult recipe. Royal Canine was recommended by my vet. is that human grade? I am interested in the Ollie review and am thinking of switching but want to keep the Oma’s as well. I would use their Kibble and augment some of their raw to diversify and reduce the chicken. Your videos have helped and are greatly appreciated!
Please do a video on baked kibble. I love your videos!!! Ty so much
I would really love to know more about the kibble with Ollie
If you could please do another video on that that would be great
What about Just Food For Dogs? I've been feeding my pup JFFD for a few months now but would love to know if this was a good brand. Thanks, Rachel!
Hi. I have been feeding freeze dry raw for 3.5 years and have been looking into Farmer’s Dog. Want to know if it would be okay to feed both for variety or should I check into a kibble. Also, neither Farmer’s or Ollie doesn’t offer a fish/sardine option. Can I also feed can sardine??? Please help, Thanks
Can you please review Orijen? I have a puppy and senior so I buy both. I also buy Dr. Marty's balance blend freeze dried and mix it together with there kibble.
