Farmina by far is my favorite brand. I feed it with Origen wet foot. Due to Orijen being bought out, I haven’t been too confident in their kibble

[sergioalves]

Greetings from Portugal Dr. Rea :) I really apreciate your videos, it´s hard to get some quality on youtube about dog nutrition! Keep it up!

[gabriellekube]

Love your videos. Helps to clarify so much!! I'd love to know your thoughts on Farmina Ancestral Grain line. Could you look at all the protiens? I'll watch for it! 😁

[pitbullmom]

My dogs did absolutely amazing on farmina, we just finally found a place to buy it locally again, they also do have grain inclusive options

[alejandravazquez]

Thank you for the video, are you able to review Primal freeze dried toppers/nuggets?

[vitttini]

Please review the lamb blueberry ancestrial grain

[sarahwheeler]

Thank you for taking the time to do food review videos Dr. Rea. Your videos taught me things I didn’t know about and really helped me make the right decision on what to feed. I show and breed Miniature Pinschers. I personally chose to feed Farmina Ancestral Grain Mini, which I would love to see a review about 😊 There’s things about Farmina I think would change perspective regarding this food. They use a twin auger instead of a single one (twin is used to produce human food). They also don’t cook the food to nearly the same temp as the average kibble. Also, ethoxyquin and BHA is banned in Italy, and all produce is none GMO 😊

Hey Doc,
I currently use a dog food called Spot and Tango for my 25lb pomsky. I like the food because its cooked at lower temperature compared to other kibbles. It also has good ingredients that compare to the AAFCO statement. I would appreciate you make a video on this food! I would love to know your advice!

[scottmarshall]

Would love to see a review on Essence. Not sure if you have done this one before. Thank you!

Nice . Nice Whats the difference between N&D ANCESTRAL GRAINS AND N&D PUMPKIN walay main for puppy

Which one is better

[edschulhof]

It should not be so difficult to find good pet food. All these videos and studying ingredient panels and having to call pet food companies to find out what is in their food, is ridiculous. I should be able to walk into any store that sells cat food and grab any of the brands and not have to worry that it is going to make my cats sick!

[MollyBollyJollyJoe]

Could you please do a video reviewing Inukshuk's dog food? I've heard great things but I'd like to know if it's too concentrated or too rich. At what point is the protein/fat ratio too high? Is this less of a concern for highly active dogs?

[susievieira]

Hi! Would you be able to do Farmina nd grain chicken for large breed puppy. Which would be the medium-max puppy food. I noticed the fat content in 20%. Is that too high? I don’t know what to do. Presently giving purina essential care vetenarian large breed dog food that has 13% fat. Just worried about fast growth. Or do you have any suggestions. Thanks for your help!!!

[melissa]

What’s interesting though, is how much stricter laws are regarding pet foods are in the EU verse the US. It’s sad to say, but I would feel much more comfortable trusting pet food from Italy than here in my home country. I’d love to see you dive into that, if you haven’t already. (New subscriber)

[GiannaChisholm-ieeu]

Thank you for this video! I am looking at the new tropical line, lamb spelt and oats for medium/maxi - kibble. I have been reviewing the nutrient that they provide in regards to protein, calcium and phosphorus, etc. as dry matter basis. It looks like their nutrient levels fall in line with the ranges you use. Could you review this particular line of food from Farmina? i have reached out to farmina to give me the exact percentages for a dry matter basis for confirmation as well - just waiting for their response. I am trying to decide between this food and Hills! Thank you!

[AshleyHoxeng-qvwg]

Hi Dr. Rea, love your videos.
I was actually wondering what you personally feed your dogs? Thanks!

[HOMEISHEREFOSTER]

You are so helpful! I'm getting a frenchie puppy (who will be 4 months) in 2 weeks. Do you think Victor Hi Pro Plus or Purina Pro Plan sensitive stomach(all stages) or Purina Pro Plan puppy would be best to feed her as she is growing ( and maybe what might be best during any future pregnancies and nursing?)

[jillchapman]

I can't find the nutrient chart in the link for the Small Animal Clinical Nutrition text. Can you help with where it is located?

[panda]

I read dogs that eat lamb and kangaroo also get dcm. My dog is eating iams chicken n rice but since they don’t have beef, I want to change the flavor of her food, not the brand as of now. What can I do

[shiva]

I’m feeding n&d to my puppy 2 times a day and 1 time home food(home food and n&d without grains)
Home food is with chicken, egg and vegetables like carrot, beans, cucumber
Im thinking to switch to grained n&d
Any suggestion on best kibble brand for large dogs and is kibble good to give one serving long term !
