Is Grain Free Dog Food Still Causing Heart Disease?

I've learned it's the Taurine in grains that helps a healthy heart. I learned the hard way. I use ancient grains and make sure there is Taurine in the food. I also make homemade, too.
My dog was taken to the ER vet due to extremely lethargy and loss of appetite. They found a tumor at his intestinal lining that has spread to his lungs. They prescribed him barium and yunnan bao (?). I asked today how long I should give him barium and they suggested giving it to him indefinitely. Is this right? My Google searches have just shown it’s just for scans and tests.
Dr. Jones,🦊 Foxie eats Honest Kitchen turkey ( butcher block Pate with root vegetables) mixed with the dehydrated turkey- carrot's, spinach, yams, banana mixed in . Of course Foxie would be happy to call and place her to go order for the week since Tully approved 🐕🤗🦊
I'm so glad I found your channel, there's a lot of useful information. I started learning towards going to a non-traditional approach a year ago. My GSD at a year old was told that I should consider euthanizing my dog due to hip dysplasia, he had one leg he favored, ran around playing like any other dog. I'm doing things for him, warm compress sometimes cold, gentle massages, dog aspirin to help with his bad days, sh.e said it wasn't right for him to go on as most of these surgeries don't always work and are very expensive. I'm crying all the way home looking him , questioning myself thinking I'm a bad dog mom for holding off on "ending his suffering in her eyes" Then I got really mad, how euthanizing him the only option? I got home and went online to a GSD group that had recently joined. I explained the story and expressed my concern over the Euthanasia suggestion. I hit post and I literally had a hard time keeping up with everyone, all of them outraged that was my Vet's solution, reassuring me that I was doing the right thing by not going along with my Vet. Every single GSD owner that was treating their GSD'S with Cosequin and had a excellent results. So I thought I would give it a try, within 30 days he was no longer favoring one leg as much progressing every week to no longer favoring one leg. Now a year later you would never know he was having any issues. Why are some Vet's no offering other things to try? If I had stayed with her practice I would have been badgered in to Euthanizing an otherwise healthy dog. I'm so grateful that you are putting all of these videos out here. Some things will always be best handled with a Vet visit and yet you're demonized for not following lock and step with the Veterinary community. God bless!
You do know most of the cases of DCM will not be reported.
My Vet Put My Dog on
Pro Plan Veterinary Diet.
Urinary Ox.
Bc she had a Urinary Tract infection before.
My Pup Really don't like the Food at all.
Its very Expensive.
I looked at the Ingredients its really no different from the other Dry dog food.
I wonder should I Keep buying it for her.
Please Help.
I also Seeb one of the Purina Pro Plan Veterinary food was Recalled a Few days ago.
I’d like to see data of dogs who get dcm on grain free diet instead of data on dcm in dogs overall. It would give a clearer picture.
cosistantly great information. Thanks Doc.
Thank you for putting this into perspective. I don't mind taking my dog to the vet when it's necessary. ie, medication, stitches, surgery etc. But i's not fun when all I'm wanting is questions answered. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos and reading your book. Keep up the good work 👍🙂
I took my dogs of grain free a few years back. I used to feed raw, which I cannot afford anymore, but my gang thrived on it.
I switched to cooking for our dog. I’m considering raw and will be seeing a holistic vet this week. We also give him Instinct brand frozen raw chicken. I can’t thank you enough for helping me get back to how things used to be with REAL food for our pets. How I went from that to thinking prescription dog food 100% (same flavor, formula, kibble EVERY DAY) was ok is mind blowing. We’ve been so lied to so companies can make a profit. HOW though did they mange to make us forget real food is always better????
What can be shipped to Australia I can’t get cod or dog supplements . I imagine it’s the same for cats. I’m super upset 😢.
Thank you very much I was kinda worried about that when I saw it on Google Earlier this week You explained it really good thanks for the much needed Info
Thank you for this update, Dr Jones. I feed my dog fresh frozen food, not kibble, but what to feed is always so confusing depending on who I get the information from. I really appreciate the up to date information on health care and life care for our pets!
Thank you for the valuable info. My furbaby has DCM. He is a large mixed breed 14 years old rescue.
What should I feed my 11 week old GSD puppy?
I was surprised by some of this. If the conclusion is that it's the peas and legumes are causing the DCM, I am surprised that taurine has been found to reverse it. Because taurine is found in animal products, and grain free food still has meat…
Stopped with kibble over a month ago switch to canned food already seen a huge difference in both dogs going to do raw soon. My ibd cat I'm still working with his stool has improved somewhat. I will say atleast my birds are easy just throw in veggies and go. I even do bird tricks homemade seed mix recipe for them.
Thanks for the update!
Hi, which fish oil pills is good for dogs ?
Thank you very much for the update! Diet for pets (and us) is confusing at times. I still think my dogs do great on the Gentle Giants brand that has peas. I add pumpkin and other whole foods at times to mix it up…I have pugs so getting them to eat is never a problem! Any tips for owners of brachialsphalic dog breeds?
I don't have a dog….yet, but six cats so can you do a video on this for cats, thanks?
Could you comment on human grade dog foods?
E.g. Honest Kitchen, which has both whole grain and grain free dehydrated formulas, and minimally processed dry food.
E.g. The Farmer's Dog wet packaged food.
I need help! One of my rescue dogs had distemper. He's fine now, however, he's overweight. He takes a strong medication every day for his epilepsy. He's been on diets but nothing seems to work. He needs to lose at least 4 lbs. I give him CBD oil so I don't have to increase his meds.
It's important to realize that rice white rice is pure sugar. And brown rice is pure sugar and lectins. Both are toxic to humans and dogs.
Great tip as usual
My dogs food contains a little pea fibre, so Is pea fibre ok?
Variety is indeed the spice of life…..and too much of anything is never a good thing. They have people buffaloed into thinking their dog has to eat the same processed food all of his life. Never a good thing.
Thanks Andy, I will start feeding my dog sh!t out of a can now…….
I don't see the mentioned recipes below the video?
Homemade only all of the way. My dogs are family members and deserve the best nutrition.
Such an important video ! Thank you 💗
Sending love and hugs to everyone who's lost their beloved fury family members or will be losing one to an illness,injuries, or old age.
I feed my 2 dogs an 80/10/10 raw diet. 80% muscle meat, 10% bones, 10% organ meat, and add a little supplements to that.
