10 Dog Foods Not Linked to Canine Heart Disease 

When I was growing up we fed our dogs leftovers soups, stews, roasts, & eggs from supper with a small amount of dog food. They lived to be 14 & 15 years old & were very active & loved. Glad to see you ( Dr. Jones ) sharing your food with sweet girl Tula.

I just went to see the vet for my dogs rabies shots and she told me it was best not to feed my dogs table scraps and how bad my free range eggs were for my dogs. I so wanted to show her this video. I didn’t even have my phone with me but if it’s ok to share this on my Facebook page I will. We need to get the word out to pet parents like myself who absolutely love my babies and live to care for them. The dog food industry, which is making a “killing”! is killing our fur babies, and it has to stop. I didn’t feed my kids packaged food and I’m sure the hell not going to feed my fur kid’s packaged food. I didn’t sit and argue with her, but she’s wrong so wrong. Thanks for supporting us and teaching us how to feed our fur babies, because it’s scary. I know I want the best for my two fur babies. I sure hope more people stand up for the ones who don’t have a voice. “ well should I say a voice most humans don’t understand, my fur kids actually talk pretty good.” I understand them better than most humans. 😉

Thank you Dr. Jones. I was waiting for this.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this beautiful video and letting us know what you feed to your dogs. GOD a bless you and your beautiful family.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!!

I love and very much appreciate all of the tutorials you provide for us. I follow your channel exclusively. Thank you.

great Channel Dr Jones. thanks for all the helpful info on holistic pet care.

Thank you for making your video short enough for me to watch the whole way through without fast-forwarding

Thank you for getting the word out. My little girl was becoming so lethargic that I was beginning to worry. I saw the uc Davis study. Switched her diet to a lamb and rice kibble and 2 weeks later she's back to her old self

I love the excitement doc gets when he was feeding Tula😄 Thanks doc brought me smile while im sad about my sick dog hes more than my son Thanks for the informative video

Thank you for caring so much about the furkids!

Good information! You are precious Tula!

I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE YOUR VIDEO. For the last 5 years I have been feeding my 9year old chihuahua Instinct dog food with her main diet being homemade meals. Thank you for confirming that I am doing the right thing for my little girl. ❤️

After adopting a dog with severe food allergies, I am relieved and happy to see a vet that thinks raw is a healthy part of a varied diet for dogs. A raw based diet with a unique protein (llama) pretty much saved my dog from a life of misery and yeast infections. I've been lectured harshly by a couple of vets about raw, when all the reading I did pointed that it would be beneficial. He now has a more varied diet, as we've found more foods he is okay with, and is a completely different pet than when we first got him. I'm impressed with your food and supplement recommendations, keep up the good work!

Thank you for your presentation, I’ve been trying different ways to make food for my dogs.

During the pandemic’s supply chain issues, I put my girls on a rotation of about four different dog foods-no corn, wheat or soy-but also no legumes in the first five ingredients. I also started feeding about one-third to half high protein/veggie homemade food. My lab stopped itching; my husky has a better appetite. Both are lean and energetic. I home pressure-can ground meat/carrots/green beans for when we have to travel, kennel or have a dog sitter. Their favorite treat? Splitting a can of sardines in water on top of their food!

I feed raw/homemade myself, but your videos have greatly cleared up the heart disease issue with some commercial feeds. Even my vet sent an email about the issue. But only your videos made the issue clear enough to make a better choice. Glad I feed raw for lots of reasons, and this issue is yet another one.

Tula is ADORABLE! The way she is looking at the camera at the end is too much cuteness! Thank you for this information.💗

Great video!! Thank you very much for helping us feed our animals better!

We love giving spirulina to our poodle and mix it with different raw foods and some kibbles. Thanks for the list and super nice meeting you!

I have been making my dogs their own food for years. Beef, mutton, venison or chicken mixed with wild rice, roasted carrot and squash. My last two dogs (a Shih Tsu and a Doxie) lived 17 & 18 years. I now have adopted a Black Lab and a Rhodesian Ridgeback / English Mastiff cross. Both are doing wonderful. I also make them jerky treats and peanut butter oatmeal cookies made with just oatmeal, peanut butter and honey. I make big batches of their food and treats and freeze them. I love your channel and I use many of the remedies you teach.

Thank you for all the knowledge that you freely give on the Internet it is accurate to the point and if people will follow what you say it does work. Thank you.✌️

Thank you so very much I have been so stressed I really appreciate all you have told me Love your videos this has settled my ♡

Yes the only kibble I would sell was nature's variety their kibble and raw was great and my biggest seller. Thank you for this

Appreciate the info and your efforts Doc!

Thank you for the info and for your e-book.

Thank you so much for this!!!! 🐶

Dr. Jones, you are truly a gifted treasure to all pets and pet owners. Peace.

I would NEVER TRUST the FDA

I appreciate that you list the right ones not the Wrong ones 👍🏼

Thank you so much! You are the best

Your the BEST VET I HAVE EVER SEEN OR LISTEN TO ! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND GODS CREATURES.

Aloha Dr Jones, just found you on RU-vid and I just love all your videos. I stumbled across the 10 healthy dog foods and was wondering if you have a suggestion for a food without chicken. I currently feed my boxers Taste of the Wild Venison and legume formula. Mahalo!

You are so special. Thank you for taking a stand for our Pets. Take care of Yourself

Great information, thanks for this video.

OMG, Tula is adorable. Thank you for all your good information. My dog is named Howard, a 10 year-old bullterrier.

Growing up in the 80's and 90's we fed the family dogs (mostly German Shepherds) from the dinner table; they ate what we ate minus the deserts and they lived beyond their mid- teens. My first dog, with a family of my own, died just 2 months shy of his 4th b.d. With our two year old shepherd-border collie mix I've been feeling the need to make him healthy home made meals, and your video just confirmed the need to act on that hunch. When I announced it to my husband and kids there was a big "WHAT?!"... I told them, no more take out, we're eating what the dog eats. Thanks, doc, you're an inspiration.

Your the best! Thank you :) A subscriber that loves your channel.

A vet close to my heart. Keep up the good work. Erika from SA

I’ve always fed my Boston chicken as the exclusive protein, brown rice as the only grain, and an assortment of veggies. Kibble, with fresh toppings. He’ll be 11 next month. He’s totally fit, and runs around like a puppy. People are always asking me how old my puppy is! He spent his first 7 years running free in a rural life. The proper diet and plenty of exercise, like in humans, are the keys.

Thanks for this list. Both of my girls seem to do best on Salmon. One of my dogs has a history of colitis and seems to benefit from rice and from fiber. I’ve been feeding them Instinct salmon and rice, which does have peas, but they’re in the 7th position. I top it with Stella and chewy’s beef and salmon patties. It’s always hard to know what’s ideal, but they seem to be doing well and I think this is a decent balance for them.

Good information, Thank you!!

thank you so much!

Thank you Doc! You’re the best! I’m proud to be a Patreon!! Even with my small contribution, I know it can add up! Please consider becoming a Patreon to this wonderful Doc!!

Thank you so much for this important information! I felt clueless as to what to feed my dog and started cooking my own food for her but I don't think I am doing a good job with the recipes. She eats it, but her stool has a LOT of rice in it and she was becoming constipated on just beef and rice. It is nice to know I have some dry food options for my pup!

Thank you!

Thank you....Enjoyed .

Yes I do the same, I feed my Dog what I eat and also a high quality dry food. He loves beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and crab. He also loves fruits such as watermelon peaches, pears and flesh from cherries. His poops are perfect. Just like us whole foods and low carbs are also good for dogs, but they should have mostly meat. Blessings to you and your pets.

I just did a video on blending raw veg and fruit for your dogs. Blended down it becomes very digestible : ) I use sugarsnap Peas which Zed loves. : ) Glad to see you feeding raw : ) Thank you.

Great info! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing great information

I've been making up my large dogs food in my crock pot.....parboiled rice, skinless/boneless chicken thighs, sweet potatoe, carrots, green beans.....yes it requires a little more work, but it has become pretty easy. Make a big batch in the crock pot, store in the fridge for 3 days. I also sprinkle in some joint pain glucosamine powder I got from the health store....and my dogs love cod liver oil capsules as their treats. Even my cat eats the same diet and they all love it....each dish is licked clean. Buy whatever meat and veggies that are on sale, same with veggies. As a snack I might feed them some apple. My old boy is 12 1/2 years old and a very large breed, his coat is very shiny which tells me he is eating well and pretty healthy, when I was told he would only live until about 10 yrs old (bonus years), he is worth any extra effort.

I love that you share food with your companions! Humans and dogs have been doing that for centuries. Don't forget organ meats and bone broth, or raw bones.

Thank you for sharing this information.. !😃

Thank you for caring and providing such wonderful advice Dr. Jones. Always simple and down to earth advice from your ❤

Thank you! This is stressful! Great to have a professional guide!

Thank you for sharing. I have a bison farm near me and they sell raw dog food. The ingredients are Bison, chicken, pork, carrot, squash, cabbage, broccoli, raw egg, fish oil, kelp, alfalfa.

Great 💕💕 advice dr

thank you !!!

Thank you for your content! So mixing or switching from raw to kibble doesn’t mess anything up? Like ph levels or digestion issues?

The FDA did the same study in cats decades ago and the conclusion was there was low amounts of taurine in their food. Taurine comes from meats, US standards don’t have enough taurine in a feeding. Go with a food from Europe (farmina is one of them), and do a taurine supplement such as chicken heart or beef heart! ❤️🐶

Thank you for the information, Doctors!

Love your videos. Thank you.

Any vet I have ever taken my dogs to ask me what I feed them. The first time I was asked this, It concerned me because I thought I was doing something wrong! The vet said “ No, no, no, I was asking because your dogs are healthy. Their eyes are bright, no redness around the white of the eyes, their bloodwork is great, and they seem so vibrant in their coats! “ I have followed the same regime since day one in February of 2006, when I got my oldest one, who was 3 months old at the time. I fed purina puppy chow( dry), and also gave every other day or so, one pouch of pedigree puppy ( wet), and a small portion of meat and/ or vegetables from our dinner table after we ate . I boil chicken, shred and give occassionally. As adult dogs , I have given Purina Dog chow ( dry), and pedigree canned adult (wet). My oldest is now about to turn 14 years, and he woke up at 6:30 this morning all bouncy and playful! Ready to “ tour” the yard to get his morning exercise, and he is a miniature Schnauzer, salt/pepper in color! Most all owners of schnauzers have lost theirs at or around age 11-12 years! Even the lady who got her schnauzer from the same breeder I did! Consistancy, I think has been the best thing for my dogs diet! He loves steak, rice, vegetables , chicken , and dairy products from the table, my husband has ALWAYS shared toast and butter with them almost every weekend morning! Moderation, is the key! I also give rawhide chews with chicken jerky for their teeth, they get beggin strips for a softer treat, and this is not a daily thing always! Growing up, our outside dogs only had table scraps, leftover scraps, NEVER did my parents purchase dogfood from a store, and we had the healthiest dogs in the neighborhood, who lived LONG productive lives! I rarely give shots, or deworm mine, and unless absolutely necessary, they never get rabies shots! My Schnauzer has lost a few teeth, and now has one fatty tumor at age 13 1/2 yrs old! But, he gets around like he is a puppy! 😊

Yum-scrum Tula, you are such a lucky gal and such a cutie. Your dad loves you so much. Where was Pipster at the time of making the movie? Perhaps supervising the chef 🤗

Thank you so much God bless you♥️♥️

I adore this guy ! Honest straight forward no BS he’s amazing ❤

Can you share the dog food recipe? Also, what should I feed my cats?

Your dog is beautiful, what face precious 🐾🐾😘

Dr. Jones, you the best man for your job. I've learned so much about my 🐶 from watching you. It is wonderful to have a nice man with a soothering voices. You loves your dog as much as we loved our own dogs or puppy. Thank you very much.

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏 I have been waiting for this information!!!

Thank you for giving us options that aren’t Hill’s Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Purina Pro Plan. I understand why vets like these options as they’re formulated for different pet stages. But they have corn and other fillers.

Thank you for this. I lost my Rottie/Pit mix due to something and we never got to find out what happened. He was eating Nutro grain free. It’s scary nowadays to know what to feed.

Valuable and easy to understand information. Thank you

Thank you for the info.

I feed homemade and kibble. I include a lot of plant based for micronutrients as well as organic grass fed and wild caught.

Thank you! Could you please share your stew recipe?

Thank you Doc, I needed this information.

Great video very well said. Thanks

Any good food recommendations for a diabetic dog?

Thank you so much for doing this. I adopted a beautiful Chesador last December who was 4 at the time and has been on a salmon and potato diet. He has a lot of allergies and skin conditions, so his family had done trial and error, finding this salmon and potato food from Tractor Supply. This study freaked me out, so I began feeding him meat and now he's all broken out with scabs all over his body and even had a red ear. (I used the mix you showed to make for his ear and it cleared up literally overnight - thank you!). I love him so much and just want him to be healthy as he was when he first came to me!

thank u so much for the info im gona be able to give my dogs the best foods so far. im so happy i get to give them this they deserve the best of everything their really nice dogs who are really happy to be around me and they love to be around me they care so much about me they make me so happy and ill give it everything i have to give them the best life ever.

Great advice as usual Dr Jones.

There are some of us who do not have time to make dog food. My dog is allergic to chicken, salmon, beef, all grains and turkey. We have been feeding her Orijen and Acana that do not have the ingredients to which she’s allergic. To be honest her health improved immensely after we switched her to these foods. She is 12.5 years old and walks 2 miles 4-5 days per weeks and sometimes even longer on the weekend. I hate to see anyone lose their pets because it is heart breaking. I have been there. I get it. However, IMHO 500 cases out of the millions of people using these dog foods doesn’t seem like enough to make a definitive correlation that the food is the culprit. If I read the report correctly, they can’t say for sure. What do you suggest for folks with dogs that have multiple allergies .

I have been cooking for my 3dogs for years (16, 12, 10 yrs old) but also included some store bought dry foods for texture. recently dealing with heart issues and seizures with my youngest chihuahua I am going to take seriously this info and remove the cooked peas I've been adding as well as the blue buffalo dry brand for fear this stuff may contribute to worsen symptoms. Shes also dealt with allergies so I'm doing coconut and local honey. Dr has helped me with info ..Thx

Awesome! I am on the right track, at least. Thank you!

Awesome. Thanks clean clear information.

I wonder sometimes if the problem with dog and cat food is that we have a tendency to buy a particular kind and then feed them the exact same thing for years. We are taught as humans to eat a wide variety of healthy foods. Not the same thing, prepared the same way, the same ingredients, day after day.

What do you think of the Dr Tim's dry food? I have fed the RPM formula to my Huskies for years.

I literally spent hours researching dry and wet dog food for my Greyhuahua rescue Mia. I settled on a brand for wet and one for dry. Both were expensive but top quality. Wouldn’t you know it, about a week after her dry dog food arrived the the list came out. Her food was number 5 on the list. Terrific. I bought a larger size bag by accident but I’m going to use it anyway. I could have sent it back but that would be really difficult given the size of the bag. It’s frustrating. I appreciated this video very much. Thank you 😊

We love your channel & admire what you do & what you’ve done to stand up for what’s right. Are there any recommended foods for dogs that you know of in Australia or what to look for on the label?

Can you do a guide to raw feeding?

Can you share the beef stew recipe? Please and thank you.

Oh my goodness thank you for this video! I've been trying to do my research but I felt like I was still at a lost.

Tula is an adorable little assistant!!

Instinct is just about the best brand out there. For some reason, they discontinued the Ultimate Protein for dogs, which was the best; they still make it for cats. The cat formula is the same as for dogs. I have 4 cats and 3 ferrets and the Ultimate Protein is my #1 choice, the Go! my second.

Why dont you make these kind of videos for cats too :(

Thank you fir clarifying

Nice!

Do u have a recipe for Tula's stew please?
