Taking away your reblog privileges since none of you understand that my point is that proplan is overpriced and that other foods exist with comparable or better ingredients.

I never said grain free was good, I never said proplan kills dogs, I literally just said it was overpriced. Why is that a cardinal sin to some of you lol, corn is a very cheap ingredient and makes up a large chunk of the proplan recipes. It should not cost that much.

How safe are garden variety dog treats? I see dog owners who only feed their dog raw meat and vegetables, and then I see dog owners just feed them treats. So I've always been curious, how safe is your middle of the shelf name brand from WalMart? I'm interested in this from a nutritionist perspective, kind of.

gettingvetted here.

Dog treats made in the USA (basically any that are not manufactured in China/Taiwan) are by and large safe. Some of them technically fit AAFCO standards for a complete and balanced diet (doesn't mean you should do it though). In general, as long as treats or people food items don't amount to more than 10% of the pet's daily caloric intake, you're not running the risk of unbalancing their (species and life stage appropriate, WSAVA compliant, commercial) diet.

IF YOU WANT YOUR DOG TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY,

TYPE "YES" IN THE COMMNETS...

LET'S SEE WHO REALLY LOVES THEIR DOG!!!!!!

Hello! I saw your ask response about pet food and was wondering what you feed your cats? I hadn’t realized that the lesser known brands weren’t as good but I’m unsure if one of the main brands is better than the others

I personally feed my cats Purina Pro Plan LiveClear as my boyfriend is allergic. Prior to that I was feeding Hills Science Diet. If I run out between bags I will feed Iams while I wait for Pro Plan to come in.

Life lately

Gym, shooting, walking, back to some running, doing some tracking, seeing some friends, working on some uni tasks.

Our beautiful dogs both have procedures. Max on Friday, Ariana on Tuesday. ❤️‍🩹

Here they are having a big snooze. Max has a lump on his head which could be an inflamed gland. Ariana had two tumors - one is quite large and it happened very rapidly. They both still love their walks, haven’t gone off their food and are still very much them so I am hoping these are all positive signs for these issues to be benign.

Tortoises need a highly VARIED diet of WILD flora. Lettuce is not even good for them. Cucumbers and most other grocery store fruits vegetables should be only fed as an occasional treat. I am so annoyed at the amount of people showcasing their pet tortoises yet can’t even give them the basic proper care they need. It’s fucking infuriating!!!! Adult tortoises need a huge amount of space to explore and roam, they are not house pets!!!!!!! If you can’t keep an exotic animal properly then don’t have one it’s that simple

interesting but unsurprising study re: adherence to a homemade food recipe for dog owners: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jsap.12412

wouldn't be too shocked if there was similar recipe drift in people making food for cats at home too.

If I get any replies/DM's from the anti-grain free/science diet/Purina/Royal Canin stans due to the tags on the last post, I'm just going to block them right away. It doesn't matter if I can debate every excuse they try to provide as to why I'm "wrong". If you want to feed your pet something that is full of corn, soy, wheat and other fillers; be my guest. It's your animal, you can decide how to feed it. But let's not scare people away from feeding their animals a biologically appropriate/minimally processed diet. As long as people are following basic raw meat handling protocols, and washing their hands regularly after interacting with Any animal, your pet is Not at a higher risk of getting sick VS if they were fed a kibble. 1 in 3 cats will get kidney disease in their life due to a lack of moisture in their diet no matter what brand of kibble you feed. If you're not rehydrating your cats food, or providing them with wet food alongside it, it doesn't matter if you're feeding a special prescription kidney kibble. They're still going to struggle with kidney issues and be chronically dehydrated.

No context but I got So distracted. I did not set out to do All That today. I don't even know where the fuck I am anymore. It was all an impulse decision and I didn't even write down the second distraction because it was So Strong. In my mind. But then a second distraction hit my two braincells. I have no idea whwre I am anymore. I was just gonna whip up a shitpost doodle and then go back to my main project. I never even got to the shitpost doodle. 🧍

"The best book"

Once upon a time in a small village nestled among rolling hills, there lived a young girl named Emily. Emily was known for her love of books. She cherished the stories they held, the adventures they offered, and the knowledge they imparted. In her village, where most children played outside or helped their parents with chores, Emily spent her days at the village library, a quaint little building filled with books of all kinds.

The value of life lies not length of days, but in the use of we make of them

I never consider ease and joyfulness the purpose of life itself

I am not afraid of tomorrow for I have seen yesterday and love today💗

My dog is allergic to salmon, chicken, lamb, turkey, duck, and fish mix. Also rice. It's so funny because every source I find says "beef is one of the more common foods that dogs form allergies to" but I guess she's just a trendsetter.

Anyways if you have any recommendations for beef food that doesn't have rice I'm all ears :)

That is highly unlikely. How was that diagnosed? Did you run a food trial that avoided each of those ingredients exclusively for 6 to 8 weeks and then put them back on a food containing those items and the symptoms returned? If not, know that's the only way that food allergies can be accurately diagnosed. Blood and hair tests are completely inaccurate.

Your best bet is a hydrolyzed protein diet if the pet is truly allergic to all of the above. Your vet will have told you this if you completed any testing with them.
