I am so glad I found you! I've been feeding 1 of my 5 dogs a cooked diet after years of skin/gut issues. I tried sooooo many things & got fed up & "winged it" for a year. He's so much better & vet said his bloodwork showed he needed some more fiber (thankfully they didn't push a kibble). Recently decided to start feeding them all a stew style home cooked food. At the same time, found your videos. I've learned so much & in the short couple of months feeding this way I've seen improvements in them all. Thank you for getting this info out!!!

Perhaps we need a bit of marketing and instead of calling it Raw we all start calling it Fresh. Who would say we shouldn't feed any animal fresh food?

It's a great book!

This a great webinar. I feed my dog mildly cook meat and mix in vegetables. I give only one cup or less of kibble. Found a powder supplement mix from Dr. Andrew Jones from Canada and my dogs lumps and bumps are healing up.

I am still working on flee meds and heartworm prescription elimination but not sure yet.

Thankyou both for this much needed information!! Been feeding cooked & raw mix. Still learning about supplements.
Much appreciated Dr.Judy 🐾🇺🇲❤

Loved this interview!! Thank you!!

Hi! I am a veterinarian from Finland. I find this topic extremely fascinating. The thing that bothers me is that you keep comparing kibble with sugary treats. It's like saying that all breads and fruit is bad too because they have carbs. All carbs are not equal and it is the amount that counts.

Raw vs kibble is just so frustrating-- common sense says REAL FRESH FOOD is healthier for anyone. I always make the point to friends that they feed fresh food to the animals in the zoo.. why aren't you for your loved pet? Thanks for this- I will spread far and wide.. for the animals that deserve better food. One day the lightbulb will go on for many more pet parents.. keep up the fight. YOU BOTH are AMAZING!

Hello Dr Morgan!! Is it true that once I transition my pup to raw I should refrain from giving him any cooked meats and treats?? Why is this so?? It’s all fresh food no??

Great content!!

As a old time vet tech …such great info😊

Why don't traditional vet practices just pivot a little into holistic offerings like food options and alternative care? Is it an issue from the large companies almost forcing the vet's to practice a certain way or the vets simply not wanting to take on additional schooling for holistic options? From where I sit I can see vets at the very least taking a 50/50 split balance because at the end of the day people like options and variety so why not offer traditional and holistic in the same place. I personally take my pets both to a traditional and holistic practice and wish they were all in one location. All I keep hearing and reading about is how vets are getting burned out and clinics are jammed packed and often have to turn patients away which in my case has happened many times when I have tried getting my pets into the most local reputable clinics. Why not now when burnout is such a problem pivot into a direction that will decrease the work load. IDK maybe I'm just being ignorant and close minded of all the other million little things going on behind the scenes.

Dr Morgan,

I am about to switch my large GSD to raw. My wife is concerned about our dog chewing raw bones with a previous tooth extraction and possibly cracked tooth still remaining. Will small poultry bones (i.e. wings, necks) be too much or should we use bone meal for a while until his dental health improves? Thanks in advance!

i just love this Dr. Brady!!! more more... keep teaching us the science. thank yoiu sooo much

Oh man, you guys are so polarizing! Thank you for advocating for our pets!!!

Can you take your Beloved to the clinic you left instead will they let you in sooner, so you don't have to wait till October? As I know you know of course, elders can't be waiting months and months for help. How awful, I thought our vet hospital in Hermosillo was busy but at least I can get my Beloveds taken care of asap and the hospital has all the diagnostic equipment and I know right away all the results during my visit. US seems to have gone nuts-oyez. My, I am grateful living in Mexico.

There you go Dr Judy open your own clinic, have someone else run it, I feel for your situation, indeed.

My two dog blow up with kibble after being on it for year we are now making homemade food and raw we have a pack of 5 one has breath issue we have a hotlsic vet

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good idea. Pay an annual fee to a vet, have a visit when needed at no visit cost, that promotes all good health practices. The vet makes money by less visits because the dogs/cats are healthy and rarely need a vet.
Win-win.

This man has a "functional medicine," approach.
These functional medicune M.Ds look for cause, rather than treating symptoms.
Humans: Find a functional medicine practioner. You will pay out of pocket because insurance wont pay.

This is last bag of dry food i bought for my Newfoundland, ive been adding gently cooked to Orrgins fish kibbĺe '1st 6 ingredients are raw...'? When i found out Mars bought Orrgins, that was it! Mars was an old client when I had the top brass at the hotel I handled meetings & didn't like Mars 20 years ago & still feel the same!!!😮

Great podcast. Most informative!

When making homemade fresh food I'm not sure of the correct portion size for my 3 Aussies who are young and active. What is the recommended portion size per meal?

Is there a good article with links about the safety of raw feeding vs kibble for people with small children?

Feeding dogs, is it available from the apple book store? I found it on Amazon, but I’d like to start reading it now.

But what could be the problem if you are feeding raw but you still having problems as far as issues with the skin or even though you use preventatives which you want to stop using your dog still ends up getting fleas

Yeah you would never catch a vet saying hey you need to feed the snake salad because it would be dead so why are dogs and cats getting abused because this is abuse it's abuse not by the owners who are trusting in listening to their veterinarians in trusting in the pet food companies but it is false advertising in every name of the word

Hate to say it but drs are the same. Lack nutrition knowledge and diseases. I’ve had Crohn’s disease for 25 yrs n no surgeries n no long term immunosupresssnts despite having it moderate to severe n in oesophagus which is rare. How do I do so well? DIET. Low sugar n fat in general n healthy whole food plant based foods that lack ultra processing. It’s that some n yet that hard. It’s NOT good for drs business when patients in remission with no treatment as doesn’t keep me as a returning patient. Also the meds have the known preservatives and additive triggers which is ridiculous and absurd.
Diet plays a Huge role in all diseases. Genetics is part of issue but environmental factors trigger the diseases in humans n pets.
Hippocrates once said - let food be thy medicine or thy poison! I could not agree more
Keep going as on tight track.

I just found this video. Super informative. Love love the science you read, performed, etc. In 2024 there are more kibble food that are freeze dried, or air dried, human grade whole ingredients, I've been looking at Ziwi Pet, I like that there's green mussels in it and have some versions with novel meats. Would this be a good compromise to feeding raw only? Thank you.

Thank you Dr. Judy for these podcasts. I’m am a first time dog owner and have a 7 month old Shihtzu. Been feeding raw for almost two weeks now. The transition went really well. I learn something new with every podcast. Now I’m on the hunt for a holistic vet in my area.

I love all your fabulous info, my question is how long should I feed allprovide gently cooked dog food, my gsp goes bonkers over it, is it safe to feed the rest of her life, she is 2-1/2

2 GENIUS TOGETHER! I wish every Dog Owner should listen to this. Yesterday i met a friend that told me her Dog got pancreatic from MERRICK KIBBLE here in New York bought at Chewy.
Grateful to Dr Judy and Conor , because of listening to every single video of them, i switch my Shihtzu s food to raw since he was a Puppy, and never had an issue!!!!! Grateful For Life!!!!

Thank you so much for spreading the message. My shihtzu has allergies, so he scratches at his belly and armpits so hard that it'll leave red marks, and some parts will even bleed a little. I apply ointment on him 4 times daily, as my vet tells me to do. The worst part of his allergies is that he'll constantly lick and nibble at his paws if he doesn't have his cone on. But then, even with the cone, he'll lick the cone because he wants to lick at his paws, but he can't. It's heartbreaking and frustrating to see. So after watching some of your podcasts, talking about allergies and diets. I decided to give it a try and went to the store this morning to buy some lean cut pork. Gently cooked the pork and carrots, fed him. After he's done, unexpectedly, he goes straight to take a nap. And I thought that was strange because usually after breakfast he'll rub his whole body on his bed to relieve his itch. Also, the frequency of him licking his cone has reduced so much, too. He drinks water way less. I don't know if I'm seeing a difference right away, and I know that it'll take a while to see results. But I'm excited to see more improvements down the road.

Where to buy raw, and how to transition. ???
