THANK YOU 🙏🏼 i am a registered dietitian (for humans not pets lol) and i really appreciate how you showed evidence regarding different foods’ digestibility!
YES! Thank you for citing the research studies! I dislike when others talk about the many studies of this and that, that in turn serve to only validate their views but never reference any of them in the description! So again, thank you!
You do cite studies in your description!! Yes! And I found your education info on the pet cube website. Is it possible that I've found an ACTUAL dog nutritionist on social media?? I'm going to look into those studies and see if I can find more sources for you credentials, but this is promising. I love that the studies are included! It's really nice. We don't have to trust that you're telling us the truth. We can check for ourselves. (A side note, the intro jingle is a little loud. It might be nice if it was the same volume as your talking?)
Update, I had trouble finding the studies online until I found this one www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6127788/ it also seems to link to a few of the other studies he listed in the description as well as many others. Great! It is also funded by freshpet, buuuut it seems like all studies are funded by some food brand or another? Anyway.
I feed raw/home-cooked organic whole foods diet. My two Standard Aussies are more healthy than any of my previous dogs. My last kibble/wet commercial food mini aussie/sheltie mix had all kinds of health problems, including turning diabetic. My current two Aussies, are super healthy, all checkups and blood works are great. Their Veterinarian always tells me how beautiful and healthy they are. No smelly breath, no bad smells, no yeast infections, no tummy problems/gas. Just the shiniest coat, and whitest teeth that you ever see on two dogs! Plus I actually spend LESS feeding them raw/home-cooked diet. Yes, you read that correctly, less. They are also given, raw carrots, berries, eggs, and all kinds of stuff in their diet, raw Goats Milk, homemade bone broth, yogurt/Kiefer. Read, investigate and add, or switch to a raw only, raw/home-cooked diet and get away from commercial kibble as your dog's only source of nutrition. I still use a high quality kibble as treats, when traveling and the like, but it's very limited on the amount they get, and my pups are healthier for it.
In most of usa, uk, Europe and I think canada most food is parasites free if it's human grade. Only wild caught food is dangerous and you can kill most parasites in wild caught meat by freezing it for a couple months. I suggest you look up the food safety standards in your country. And check any brands for whether they ùse human grade meat 😊
Anyone got any feedback on how long they find it best to home gently cook at 70-80deg (and is he talking degrees Celsius?)? I have to start cat on a novel protein diet. Hard to get frozen batches of venison in batches smaller than 500g, so that is why im serving him raw mince venison meat (with supplement vit'15 orange powder) the day i defrost and the next day (as those servings are fresh enough, in fridge). But as ive still got 250g defrosted that wont be fresh enough to stay in the fridge raw, i will gently cook on 70deg celcius (if that is what he is saying), but i dont know how long. Its also hard to tell "pink in the middle" as its mince! Gently cooking method should be easy for me in thermomix as it has a cooking thermometer setting. I did first batch today, i did 3 x 5min cooking sessions of refrigerator cold mince on 70deg C... think that mignt have been too long (looked completely brown at the end)... so would appreciate any expereinces from you! Will try 10min next time, unless i hear something different, and hope i still see a little pink in there. Once i gently cook and cool, i then add the supplement powder before freezing the cooked batches, as the powder cant be cooked. Hope some of this makes sense ! Thanks!
Usually with mince you want to see just a little pink left on the outside still, so it's mostly browned but with speckles of pink. But if it's cooled at a low enough temp it doesn't matter if you cook it a little longer because it's mostly about how hot you cook it, so as long as you're not cooking it for hours and hours at a high heat you should be good 😊
Pressure cooking will probably count as fully cooked not gently cooked, which isn't too bad just not as good. Unless you can Pressure cook at a lower temperature?
Why is the food made in Singapore and Australia? But I think you're funny very informative and I love watching your videos. But the food made in Singapore and Australia and then having to be shipped over here 🤔
I feed dog raw some days, and cooked some days. But I always under cook the food, except chicken and pork. I pay more for a high quality meat, no additives.
@@bw7057 it doesn’t mean they’re genetically going to all eat exactly like their ancestors. It is why some dogs do well with raw or par cooked and some need a fresh cooked or a regulated kibble. It’s all dependent on what their system handles. They are not wild animals any longer, have not been for generations.
The main problem is that meat is manufactured before going to the store. Raw is better if you do prepare the meat from scratch and grind it up yourself. 😊
@@eveieteatoo I’ve had dogs all my life and the last three ate predominantly raw meat and organs and suffered no ill effects. I can see possibly the smaller inbred breeds having issues.
I'm enjoying your discussion on the food and nutrition itself, but the pedant in me can't let the comment on dog poop go by unchallenged. That's not how dog poop works. When a dog defecates, hopefully the poop is just large and firm enough to express the anal glands and that's where the smell comes from. You can't have a good, healthy dog poop that isn't stinky. Small, soft, not-smelly dog poop means you're going to have to express the anal glands artificially at the groomer's or vet's.
Hey there Dr Francis here! Some individual pets just don't do well on raw for whatever reason - immunodeficient, gut issues or dysbiotic gut microbiome, etc. Freeze dried may work for some of these pets, but not all. I would still prefer they have a lightly cooked diet rather than an ultraprocessed one.
Seems he's provided me with more information that any vet I've spoken to. They always skirt around whats good for my pet and try to get me to buy their products without ever actually telling me other ways to care for my pet. Many vets care more about their bank accounts than they do our furry children.
@@Unknown-hu4gf wow. Looks like the kibble pet food conglomerates have fooled you. Tell me doc, you sell Hills? Purina? I LOST a dog to kibble, raw never a problem. Never.

OMG I ❤ you! FINALLY some great answers.
Do you have concerns with raw now with bird flu? How about the presence of parasites in raw? Thanks

I can't buy from your company. Let us know some recipes for dog food, please
Is it okay, to give tomatoes,raw asparagus and cucumbers to my pets?
What did they eat in the wild? Wasn’t cooked…
They didn’t, because the man-bred breeds we have now weren’t wild, they were designed over generations for humans. 🫤
@@eveieteatoo LOL… They’re still genetically the same animal.

I always talk cat food and nutrition 😂
Problem is people where I live don't really know anything they just buy the 'best' brand 😅

Ha! The politics are just kinda breastfeeding! At the end of the day, fed is best!
raw is not for everyone??!! have you met the liverking?

He lied and used steroids bro
Pet's aren't wildlife! You aren't qualified to give advice on companion animal diets....
But you know better? 😏
He has good information to START with, it's up to you to do the research.
And commercial kibble is poison.
🙄This comment is the only thing lacking education here
@@lildaniebeanIt's obvious you're not a veterinarian like me... Go to school and get some education before you run your mouth....
