I’d love to try them and I adore my dogs, but a $900 per dog monthly food budget is absurd!

Feed a previous dog purina branded dog foods and she lived a happy healthy long life for a medium size mix . Her life expectancy for the breed mix was 12 years and she lived to be 18 years. I don’t think it’s always about the food when it comes to a dogs health and not everyone can afford to feed the more premium brands.

I tried Orijen, Farmina N&D, and Acana… my dog had soft stools with all of them. I went back to Taste of the Wild every time and her stools are solid. She’s a happy healthy 3 years old German shepherd.

I appreciate the informative nature of this video, but it would also help if you mentioned alternative brands that were more budget friendly to pet parents that are financially challenged. A lot of these brands are ultra expensive.

rachel, you are so great!! i started watching you a couple months ago when i got my new puppy and you have helped us out A LOT… thanks to you my puppy eats a clean healthy diet and is happy and healthy. keep doing what you love!!

The reason why Purina splits the corn is because corn gluten meal and whole grain corn are two different ingredients that serve two different purposes. Corn gluten meal is the protein extracted from corn and consists of around 70% protein. Whole grain corn is just corn which has a much lower protein value and is mostly a carbohydrate. Corn gluten meal is a very good protein source and since the nutritional value of corn gluten meal is completely different from whole grain corn, it’s listed separately on an ingredient label. Don’t confuse corn gluten meal with regular corn because they are literally two completely different ingredients

I appreciate that you have provided a food list that is also available in Canada. Thank you so much Rachel for everything that you do for dog owners and our companions.

I can't afford to pay $180 for a 20 lb bag of Carna 4! Seriously, give your dog's cooked chicken or beef, brown rice, sweet potatoes and no snack s from any bag and you will be OK. 40 year dog owner....

[jorgepeguero]

Just watched your video and although it was informative it was somewhat disappointing to watch. You come off somewhat condescending. Most people can’t afford 47 dollars for two pounds of food much less 180 to 200 for a 22 pound bag. I understand you probably get sponsored by some of these companies so you push them. We do our absolute best for our two perrihijos(dog children). We give them numerous supplements and plenty of fresh vegetables and fish. To say these boys are well taken care of is an understatement.

You should do a list budget friendly healthy kibble

[ltobva]

I see that Open Farm uses natural flavors. I'm sick of all these products having to add in chemicals.

Thank you
Your knowledge is unmeasurable to us dog lovers and owners
But some of us can’t afford your diet you give your dog

Hi Rachel, love your videos! Just speaking from my personal experience, we tried feeding Carna4 to our small dog, and no matter what we did (we transitioned her very slowly), she would always throw it up. So instead, we have started feeding her The Honest Kitchen Whole Grain Chicken Clusters for Small Breeds, and she has done very well on it (no throwing up, thank goodness). It is 100% human grade, cold pressed, roasted & gently dehydrated (so I feel good about giving it to her). Also, we give her a side of raw goats milk (which she loves), and we will occasionally add fresh food toppers (such as sardines, etc.). It is working well for us so far!

[slickdaddy]

I feed a premium kibble and supplement it with chicken, fresh clean sardines, broccoli, blue berries, goats milk and fresh broth. My base kibble is 50% Carna4 which has no synthetics. I take the middle road. More convenient and budget friendly but still providing the opportunity for my dog to have good nutrition. She is thriving and very healthy.

[scottycollins]

Can't understand why some these channels recommend Purina one..🤮

[mandy]

I adopted my whippet puppy from a breeder who is also a vet and she recommended purina pro sport. I don’t think dog food is a black or white, feed them this not that issue.

I appreciate your content and love your videos!

[shawnastephens]

Why do these people bash purina? They've been around for over 100 years. I stand by them. My dog eats purina dog cow and my cats eat cat chow they do great.

[ELCEV]

$48 for two and a half pounds of dog food are you kidding me

[mason-dixon-north]

Such great information! I work for Silver Lining Herbs and we have many customers asking for suggestions about better dog food options after experiencing health issues with their pups. We always look to clean up the diet first, so this will be a great resource for them! I'll be sharing your website and YouTube channels with our canine customers! Thank you!!!

I've been feeding my dog Fromm's large breed puppy chow since 12/5/23. She seems to be developing fine and the couple vets I've been to have said this is my best bet to keep her on into adulthood. Watched this video among sooo many others before getting my puppy. Guess I will find out in 8 years time, or somewhere along the way, but so far this seems like a decent choice at its price point. Also, I very much support buying from a smaller family owned brand.
