@ Dr. Becker,so a few questions there, just not sure where to start. food,
supplement, blood test at vet, etc?? as i am on very limited disability
income, i want my cats healthy, but not spending more than i am for their
food, or unnecessary vet tests, etc...would like to rule things out step at
a time funny my biological name, before mother remarried and adopted was
Becker :^) have to start with my 1st post about 5 posts down for start 2
end due to character limit had to put in more than 1 post
Respectful challenge: "Cats & dogs are carnivores". Cats, mostly. Dogs are
omnivores very capable of digesting carbohydrates. "High moisture is
important". Dogs, yes. Cats actually prefer drier kibble. A bowl of water
solves thirst. "Corn, wheat, soy not necessary". Sure, but dogs are
omnivorous scavengers. "Balanced diet (AAFCO compliance)". Many AAFCO
guidelines aren't actually substantiated objectively. You say to chose
AAFCO "approved" but then denounce commercial AAFCO approved pet food...
.....i kno it will def help and giv the best chance for the dog, i hav been
ever so careful with my dogue de bordeaux in the 1st year of life not to
feed to much so to keeo her weight dwn whilst her bones grow n

diet all the time as financially possible,i hope i havemt undernourished
her in 1st yr, i did feed a lower protein high quality complete dry
food,jus didnt feed excessive like sum do to get big macho dog.......
How can feeding our pets factory farmed, diseased animals be a good idea?
None of these animals (the pets nor the factory farmed cows, pigs, etc) are
natural. Making arguments based on nature without some admission that the
whole system is unnatural to begin with is faulty. Also, important but left
out is the reality of the 4-d's in commercial pet food: farm animals who
are down, dead, diseased, or disabled. How sad that these animals who are
tortured get no thought as you obsess over pet food
My cat is 15 years old and very healthy till he ate old food from my
neighbors feral cats. He had loose diarhea, so I gave him chicken and tuna,
but the diarhea persisted. The Vet treated him for Lymphoma even though I
said he must have a bacterial infection from the ferals, he was dehydrated
& needed 3 days in hospital, they let him out in 1 day with steroids and
flagil, he died 2 days later from being so weak! He needed a better doctor!
It was a great hospital, but young Vet! I am so upset!

@ Dr. Becker, i feed our 3 cats California Naturals chicken and brown rice
formula, is quite expensive, now my oldest cat 7yrs started throwing up a
few yrs ago about 5 yrs old, asked vet said prob nervous stomach? now the
other 2, one of which is outside in non winter months in Alberta Canada,
are also throwing up in this last yr. sometimes the food is barely
digested, sometimes it is mostly paste like. def not hairballs and happens
too often compared to any cat had before. any suggestions?
@touchxOFxpinkxO Found some Purina ones the other day with high fructose
corn syrup, ... Not enough that the people in this country are dying from
obesity and diabetes....let's do it to our animals now too! I was looking
into buying a quick bag of food that night till I could get to the pet
store. THAT'S the night I came home and started looking for alternatives.
Please people, you read labels for your food, do it for your pets. I knew
it wasn't good, but how DARE companies add that crap!
Cats naturally are supposed to get almost all of their water from their
food (because naturally cats would eat raw meat). On cats nutritional
labels they will indicate "moisture content" because it is so important.
Dry food contains, on average, 10% moisture, while wet canned food is about
80%. I don't believe cats don't have as strong of an urge to drink water
like we do, because they naturally would get it from their food, so they
often drink less than they actually should on dry food.
Many of the raw feeders I know just wing it which is a waste IMO. If you
are going to make your dog's food, either get a degree in Nutrition or
follow an approved diet plan. You should probably also raise the meat
animals yourself so you avoid the hormones and byproducts in commercial
meats. I'd also like to know which study showed the information on the
required moisture content of food. What if I add water to dry kibble at
roughly 70%. Is that the same? Was this covered by the study?
Of course they are the same species. They can interbreed and produce
fertile offspring. That doesn't mean they eat the same since (as I noted
before) they occupy entirely different ecological niches, behave
differently, raise their offspring differently and have different
reproductive cycles. I have read the raw food myths and some make good
sense and some are rationalizations. Its a good site. I've bookmarked it
and will check often. Right now I don't want to fix what ain't broke.
I have a 2 yr. old Yorkie, right now he seems to be scratching and biteing
his feet. He has never done this before. I give alot more attention to him.
Just incase he is bored. But, I really think that it,s his food. My little
fella is not feeling to good these days. Could you can recommend a healthy
food with everything in it? So I can stop this itching. Then i,ll take him
ti his vet. Money is really tight these days. I,m so happy we have Dr.
Mercola. Answer asap please.
@ Dr. Becker,which i contributed to tap water here, i usually had bottled
water, as when i do not drink the tap water, and since i do not get sick to
stomach like that, but dr at time told me digestive issues were common with
these conditions. i notice mold grows quickly in toilet along water lines,
and we keep these closed so cats cannot drink from them but they have a few
times. wondering if also could be human to animal disease or vice-versa
possibly involved
@ Dr. Becker,however my oldest cat was throwing up the yr before moving in
here, so 2007,, and that is when we got the other cats jan 2008, 2 yrs
later now the other 2 cats are throwing up. i always keep the water fresh
and clean bowl and use brita for them, as well as clean food dish.
wondering if got oldest tested then would know what others have, also
should mention my girlfriend also developed auto immune fibromyalgia and
chronic fatgue yr after me in 2009.
I personally have my dog on a raw meaty bones diet (with supplements since
I won't feed veggies). Less then 2 years ago, he was morbidly obese at 26
pounds, had no energy, and completely BROWN teeth. Now, he's 8 years old
and is in such good shape that he's often mistaken for a Doberman puppy
(he's a JRT/Min Pin). He also has far more muscle mass for his size then
any other dog I've ever seen. Quite frankly, a balanced raw diet saved my
dog's life.
@oneacd I'm also interested in the moisture thing. I work in a pet store,
and have done nutrition training for each of the big superpremium foods
(waltham, hills, royal canin etc) and while I understand that they want me
to sell their product, so they training I have recieved comes from biased
sources, each and every single company reccomends their dry product over
their wet. Most of them only make a wet due to popular demand.

Wayne County Serves Up Cat Food Like Meals

The reason most local news does not report like this is for two reasons:
First most local TV reporters get a few hours to turn a story, almost
always a new one every day. And this guy most assuredly got weeks maybe
even a month or longer.
Second this reporter used to be a print reporter for The New York Times and
print reporters almost always approach storytelling with more depth than TV
reporters who were more or less trained to just crop dust a story.

Very educational thank you .I had my cat pass away at age 19 she had kidney
thyroid disease .I will one day get another cat .I was thinking of doing
raw feeding ,the commercial cat food I think that is what made my cat sick
.
This is excellent! What a wonderful Vet, thanks for sharing! I feed 100%
raw and have for almost 2 years now and have had amazing results. I share
my entire process on my cat health blog, MeowLifestyle
Absolutely terrific lecture. Thank you so much!
I really would love to see the lecture on "appropriate bones" you
mentioned. It's probably the scariest & least understood side of raw
feeding.
I started feeding my 4 cats raw food 11 days ago. They love it. The litter
box doesn't smell. They have more energy and are satisfied, not looking and
bugging people for food all day.
Such a fantabulous video Dr. Blanco, very heartwarming to know that you are
spreading the word that NUTRITION IS KEY to perfect health, our dogs LOVE
raw foods. Thank you very much!
