My dog poops blood eating this food but my dog is sensitive
I always boil their food cuz America food isn't safe for us unless wee deque cook it " properly"
I've picked up dog poop and stepped on dog poop but I never owned a dog.
CBS doung a bit about the importance of dog food. While half of Americans are struggling to eat, etc … Way to go.
Welcome to the world of haves and have nots. I hope people wake up, look in the mirror, understand why Trump won the election.
Canines are natural carnivores. The end.
With so many commercial dog food ingredients coming from foreign sources, it only makes sense to make their food at home from carefully selected elements. We've been making food for our dogs for over four years. It started with our elderly Labs suffering from pancreatitis. We developed a low fat recipe for them. They lost their excess weight and became active like they were years younger. I'm sure that if we had started them when young they could have lived longer than their 14 years. Our two pitbull mixed rescues absolutely love the recipe we developed for their young active lives. In addition, we also make their treats, which include fruit in many of them. The only store bought treat we give them is Honey Maid Graham Crackers. Our veterinarian doesn't want our Pit-Lab mix to weigh more than 60 pounds. On this diet, which includes as many treats as she wants, she's been staying at 58 pounds. The veterinarian totally approves of their diet. His assistant tried to give the girls a Milk Bone and they wouldn't take it.
I’ve been cooking for my fur baby for a while now. I feel so good knowing she is getting the best healthy possible food I can provide!!🐼🐼🐶🐶🐶🐼🐼🐼🐶🐶🐶🐶🐼🐼🐼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yep – I have my dogs food cooking in the crockpot now
My cat has almost only been eating canned sardines (cheap and healthy), occasionally salmon and tuna.
This is the same as Fresh Pets dog food
Awesome, and the hoomans who have little or no food?
We make chicken soup all the time for dog😊
Mine eats better then I do, she deserves it. She puts up with me
There sure are a lot of folks making comments here that seem to imply that there is something wrong with taking the very best care of your dog as you can. Those dry, hard baked pellets have never been good for them. This is such an improvement, and encourages folks to cook real food for there dogs.
We never see enough of Nancy Giles❤
I use Farmers Dog for years. My 15 yo rescue is healthy keeps doing her zoomies. Her blood work was great. Can’t ask for more.
Thanks for this story. I have four dogs. I no longer feel guilty giving my dogs cooked meals.
This is a disappointingly one-sided perspective on what dogs can eat to be healthy.
2:11 & 2:14 I guess I missed it when combing your hair went out of fashion 😑
Our dogs always eat from the family pot. Rice, Meat, Beans and peas. The occasional curry and Chinese food as well.
It's a lie perpetuated by the billion dollar low grade dog food industry that dogs 'need' to eat dried balls of kibble. Most dog food is REJECTED INGREDIENTS that is unfit for consumption. Most people can't believe my dog is 15. He's super healthy! Cooking or buying human grade foods like Justfoodfordogs is the only way to humanely feed a pet if you love them.
