✨THE Official Dog Food Review Series✨
Friendly PSA: this is based on my (very picky) personal opinion, NOT intended to “bash” a brand (though I hope these reviews inspire brands to do better 😉)
For me, I’d never feed this brand based on the use of low quality filler ingredients (rice, rice bran) & a hefty list of vitamin synthetic packs (which are known to not be as nutrient bioavailable as deriving nutrients from real WHOLE foods)
Sourcing is questionable, & they claim “farm raised” sourcing which legally and technically means nothing - so to me this *APPEARS* as if they’re using at least some factory farmed meats which is a 🚩, and it appears this is a FEED grade food- which if that’s the case, makes everything worse (ive reached out to verify, but no reply 😔)
Human grade: fit for human consumption 👍
Feed grade: UNFIT for human consumption 👎 (I only feed human grade foods)
I DO like that they don’t use meals/meat meals, and meat is in the beginning of the ingredient deck, BUT
Their use of carrageenan (known to cause loose stool/GI upset) & “natural flavors” is indicative of a food I would avoid
Especially for the price, I personally feel there’s far better options. That said, i wouldnt say it’s the worst food in the market, but it’s not one id give to my animals👇
Tag the brand I should review next in comments, & let me know if you agree/disagree with my review 👀

IT’S HERE, THE one & only official dog food review series!👇
Comment & TAG the brand I should review next👇
🔹Find THIS brand on my ✨dog food list✨ linked in my bio 🔹
Cliff Notes:
✔️ LOW carb food -because DOGS SO NOT HAVE A BIOLOGICAL REQUIREMENT for carbs. And since we know excessive carbs can be harmful to dogs, this food’s use of protein & nutrient dense foods is refreshing 🙏 remember, most kibbles are 40-60% carbs, whereas this food is ~2% carbs
✔️ Look at the ingredients and compare to most any other brand out there - it speaks for itself, which should be no surprise because it’s:
✔️ Formulated by my friend/mentor & pet health hero Dr. Becker (world’s most trusted Veterinarian) 🙏
✔️ They offer puppy & adult formulas WITHOUT the use of vitamin synthetic packs 👏
✔️ I personally know the owners (no this isnt sponsored❤️) It is a small family owned brand
Now, this is what I would consider a premium food with responsible sourcing, so it will cost more than kibble
But remember, this is real Whole Foods. It mimics the way dogs were supposed to eat, and if you can’t afford a completely fresh food diet- THAT’S OK!
Using as a meal topper is a ✨fabulous✨ way to add life to the bowl 🥣 It’s not all or nothing, it’s knowing that a little bit goes a long way 🐾
What other brands should I review? 🤔

#duet with @faetheservicedog If they’re TOO nervous to get inside the tub, start NEXT to the tub - playing games (like tug of war) and feeding meals👇
Don’t rush the process, keep it positive & short “play” sessions, also
When you finally start bathing, only use (truly) pet safe gentle shampoos/conditioners. Too many poor quality products in the big pet stores, with added known irritants 😔
My favorite brand Nayked pet in my bio

The risk to rewars, for me, isnt worth it.

#duet with @timconwayjrshow Did anyone else’s heart SINK when they saw the husky?! 💔
Thankfully the dog is safe, but this is a great reminder of why i an personally not a fan of off leash for most dogs
Do you let your dog off lead? 🤔

Think about it, why do we need studies to demonstrate that FOOD, real fresh food is optimal for dogs? 🤔
Especially considering kibble is only ~100 years old… Before that, dogs ate food. Period 👇
Now does this mean im anti kibble?? OF COURSE NOT👇
I’m anti kibble “ONLY” diets, and im ANTI being afraid of giving dogs (pet safe) real foods as part of their diet - aka meal toppers! Full video in my bio (under VET CHATS)

Catch the full video (link in my bio called “raw vs kibble”) where Dr. Brady & I deep dive on the latest pet food RESEARCH! 🤓
Though… I often wonder why we need studies showing the benefit of feeding our dogs real food? 🤔
That said, as I always say, I am NOT anti-kibble. Rather, I am “anti” an ONLY kibble diet. I’m an advocate of adding real fresh (pet safe) foods to the bowl because 👇
Regardless of the quality of your kibble, we can’t deny the fact that it’s highly processed
And it’s widely accepted that unadulterated, whole fresh foods provide the most nutrient bioavailability - to humans and dogs! But the good news, a little bit of fresh food to the bowl can go a LONG way 🙌
What foods do you add to the bowl?

Full video in my bio under “raw vs kibble” where Dr. Brady & I deep dive on the latest pet food research as part of my Vet Chat/Expert Talk series!👇
PSA: we are NOT anti-kibble in any way shape or form. In fact, if you watch the full video, we both make it clear that while we believe fresher foods are optimal, there are ways to boost the bowl of kibble (which we share in our talk)
Studies are linked in description of the full video for easy access!
Dr. Brady has his doctorate in canine Nutrition & is a friend/mentor if mine, & there’s a lot of exciting content to come 🤓🤩❤️
We made the full YouTube video as a resource for you to share with your Vet the next time they tell yoy NOT to add (pet safe) fresh foods to the bowl 🥣

#duet with @veterinarysecrets Am I ANTI all vaccines for pets? Of course not👇
I am anti-OVER vaccinating before titering my dogs. Titers = antibody test which can help determine immunity!
New research suggests our dogs’ initial vaccines last longer than we initially thought!
ALSO: Im not telling you how to vaccinate your dog, rather, suggesting you ask your vet about titer testing👇
Especially because these are becoming far more affordable & mainstream, one example is Vaccicheck
The goal is not to avoid all vaccines, instead, the goal is to only give vaccines needed or required by law 🙏

Regular bathing *CAN* strip our dog’s healthy oils when using most of the “pet” shampoos available👇
You already know I’m extremely picky about topical products I use on my dogs. over the years, I’ve learned from my Veterinarian mentors that WHAT we put ON our dogs is just as, if not, more important than what they consume👇
Remember, skin is our dog’s largest organ, so please be cautious with the products you use
After years of research, there are very few brands I trust. And right now my go-to is in my bio for you (Nayked Pet) - Vet formulated by my friend/mentor Dr. Zac! Not sponsored, but code FUSARO should work ❤️

Remember, we do short positive training sessions daily, & always reward AS SOON as they’re starting the behavior & marking with “YES” followed immediately with a treat ❤️
Not food motivated? Toys or verbal praise are great, too!
