Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Dry & Wet Dog Food Review - The Dog Nutritionist

Allergies issues step from a unique gut microbiome, and it's ability to deal with non-hazardous things, like grass, chicken, or dust.

By nourishing the gut, you can reduce sensitivity and therefore improve your dog's condition.

However, using a highly processed food, not fresh natural foods, reduces the effectiveness of the therapy.

Not to mention that processed foods do contribute to cancer…

If you want the best for your dog, which you. You don't want expensive vet bills or to be buying overpriced food, learn how to create a simple fresh food diet that works for them.

Ok people acting like feeding anything that isn’t owned by Purina or hills will kill your pets are being a BIT dramatic here. I have never used either and all of my animals are miraculously alive and fully healthy.

Top 5 favorite dog food brands?

Oh boy I'm not super current on how all the brands I used to use are these days and what's new that's good. I have 2 dogs on a prescription diet and 1 puppy on what his breeder had him on.

I'm a Purina ProPlan shill, so I'll put that #1

Others I like:

Royal Canin

Eukanuba

Farmina

Wellness

Quiet mumbling: maybe people are just having push back against "scientifically formulated diets" because brands like science diet and Royal canin have a huge hook in veterinary schooling so their brands get pushed by vets more than others. If your dog is perfectly healthy then they don't need to be on a brand like that-- especially since it costs an arm and a leg for what is essentially empty sugars and carbs aka an absurd amount of corn. Like holy shit your dog does not need to be eating corn. Sure you need some kind of grain or legume in order to make kibble actually stay together into a kibble shape but The corn/soy meal to price ratio on a lot of those diets is actually obscene. If your pet needs to be on a prescription diet then yeah they need to be on a prescription diet and you can't fall for marketing around stuff like raw diets because even though these diets are really great and really healthy options like dude... Come on.. there is a reason why these diets exist bro don't pull your cat off their renal diet. But also do your research and look at the ingredients on the back of the kibble you buy dude. You could probably be getting something healthier for less money with a little bit of research.

[saesyndrome]

uh oh pet food discourse! anyway i think most of the time veterinary diets are fine but EXTREMELY COST PROHIBITIVE because there are only 3 brands that have a corner on the market of prescription food. also, prescription food RARELY actually contains any medicine. it's just a different formulation of food that, because it's more precise, may be more expensive. that said, its fucking unreasonable for any 10lbs bag of food to be over $100.

petco had a variety of food that was hydrolyzed salmon protein. it wasn't necessarily to the caliber of the veterinary diet hydrolyzed protein, but it was THE ONLY NON-PRESCRIPTION HYDROLYZED PROTEIN FOOD. recently they completely discontinued it, presumably because the Big Three threatened to pull their products if they didn't discontinue it. because $60 for 25lbs is a lot more affordable than the aforementioned $100 10lbs bag.

i think especially in the case of vet diets involving the kidneys and for diabetic animals, prescription food makes sense. but most of these vet diets DON'T ACTUALLY CONTAIN MEDICATION. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY THAT THEY DO. it is LITERALLY because purina, royal canin, and science diet want to milk as much money out of people with sick pets as they can.

My (elderly) cat would not poop in his litter box for a year after I adopted him. He would only poop in one closet. I assumed he was doing it for behavioral reasons because he’s very opinionated and his vet never had any advice. I put some newspapers down and went on with my life. Then he started throwing up green and pooped blood. Took him to an emergency vet. Turns out he’s allergic to protein. I started him on a veterinary prescribed diet from Royal Canin. Within days he was 100% using his litter box and his fur got thicker. I feel a bit bad that I didn’t push harder at the start, but I’m so grateful the prescription food helped so much. People recommend fad diets to me for him and I always shut them down. I’m not giving him anything his vet doesn’t okay.

I get why you feel bad but also you shouldn’t. In an elderly adopted cat I also would just suspect behavioral. I’m glad you figured something out that works for him!

also I’m not going to answer any more diet/feeding asks just bc it is such a discourse prone topic and i don’t have the energy for that tonight. my advice is always to listen to your vet, and if you don’t trust their advice then find a vet you do trust

[un-awarewolf]

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.

Before I post photos of Jensen from the con last weekend I wanna make a post to apologize for the lack of posts here. Normally I’m on top of anything Jensen & Jared during con weekends. But last weekend was a scary weekend for me. Last Friday I noticed my handsome boy Scooter was peeing blood. At first I wasn’t too sure it was blood I just knew it was not Casper. He tends to pee in the corner of the litter box. Scooter pees in the middle of the litter box or sometimes on the left side of the litter box. For the record before I go on yes I have 1 litter box for 2 cats. I know you are supposed to have 1 litter box for each cat plus an extra. So technically you should have 3 litter boxes. Well I don’t have the space for more than 1 litter box. Plus I can’t afford to buy litter for each box. So I have 1 extra large litter box which is enough for both of my boys. They each have a side of the litter box and I never have any issues with them sharing. Plus it is easy to monitor their bathroom habits/leavings.

Anyway back to Scooter I didn’t know it was blood until I saw him come in and actually pee blood in the litter box. At first I was going to wait til Monday to take him but when he started straining I knew it couldn’t wait. I took him to the emergency vet Saturday. Turns out he has what the call feline lower urinary tract disease basically an UTI. His bladder was full of blood which was scary. He wasn’t blocked but if I had not gotten him there when I did he could have become blocked. Which would have been fatal. The vet was originally talking surgery and a 2 to 3 day stay in the vet hospital. Which would have cost up to $6,000. No way I could have done that so my choice would have been surrender him and they would have gave him a new home after he was better or put him to sleep. So either way I would have lost him and that was NOT an option. The vet said it could be possible to avoid that if his kidney were functioning properly. Luckily his kidneys are normal and functioning properly. So the recommendation was a 24 hour stay to over hydrate him to flush his bladder out. I hated leaving him there cause I didn’t want him to think he was being abandoned. They let me see him before I left. I told him I love him he needed to get better and I was not leaving him that I would be back.

Next day we got a call that he responded well to treatment and he was ready to come home. He was sent home with antibiotics and for some reason 2 pain medications. He does have to be on prescription urinary dry & wet food. This will prevent crystals from forming causing stones which will cause him to get blocked. Thursday he had a check up and he is doing good responded well to the antibiotics. I asked if he could have Purina urinary food cause it is cheap and easy to get. Vet said nope it has to be either Royal Canin or Hill’s prescription food. Over the counter urinary foods don’t have what he need. We went with Hill’s but sadly it is very expensive. It’s $32 for a 4lb bag & $2 or $6 a can for wet food. But I have no choice if I want to prevent him from getting sick again. The vet said it was even safe to have Casper on it too. Cause it’s easier to transition them to the same food than to separate them. I can’t believe it’s been a week since everything happened.

Sometimes I doubt myself as a fur. Sometimes I think I get paranoid when it comes to my 2 cats & pup. But I’m glad I went with my instincts when it came to Scooter. Everyone who knows me knows Scooter means the world to me. Scooter was given to me as a birthday gift in October 2018. I was sick on my birthday so I was upset. 2 days after my birthday my dad found this tiny orange kitten who was 3 weeks old. They could not find his mother so my dad brought him home to me as a gift. I raised him since he was 3 weeks. Since he couldn’t eat food yet I bottled fed him. I set up a safe bed area for him. I would help him get to sleep and litter trained him. He will be 5 on Oct 5th as I estimated that is when he was born. I couldn’t imagine my life without him. It will be a struggle to pay for his food but it is worth it to keep him healthy and with me where he belongs.

Sorry this is so long but I needed to let it out. My life this year has been one shit storm after another. I’m just grateful to still have my baby boy with me.

Cat Nutrition - An Off-Topic Post

I've worked in the pet food industry for the last 7 years and it always shocks me how little people know about the nutritional needs for their cats/ pets in general. A lot of people just follow what their parents did or whatever the vet or pet store recommends (often promoting their own brands). Here's a big blurb of everything you should know about feeding your fur beans. For those short on time here's the spark notes version: Kibble is really bad for cats and was really only made for human convenience and profit- it dehydrates them which is one of the main causes for kidney disease which affects 1 in 3 cats and is ridiculously high carb - 3-5x more than what they need. Even fancy feast or the lowest quality wet/canned food is better than the highest quality dry/kibble. While Raw can have it's downsides if fed improperly, there's lots of balanced brands that can make it easy and is really the best for them, it's what their bodies are made to eat! Picky cats: Add warm water to their food. Play with them before meal times. Find 4-5 different foods they like and rotate so they don't get bored. Do your own research! Find out what works best for you, don't blindly follow what vets tell you and what friends or family have been doing. Here's everything to know about Cat and their role in the Pet Food Industry:

1. Cat are desert animals! This means that they are made to be getting 80-90% of their moisture from their food! Most cats will only drink water from a bowl when they are severely dehydrated. This is why feeding wet food (canned) or raw is so much more important. 2. Kibble is a new invention for Human Convenience! Kibble has only been around for 67 years! The first kibble was invented in 1956. Back in the 40s during WWII there were sanctions put on the use of cans and metals, essentially removing the option of canned pet foods. This pushed companies to find an alternative, working with by products (left overs) from cereal companies they created a high-profit cheap food they could sell to customers that had a better shelf life. -How is Kibble made? Almost all kibble goes through a process called extrusion where the initial ingredients, meats, by-products and additives are processed under intense heat and pressure 4-5 times before they're cut to shape and sprayed with flavors and oils. This process removes nutrients, vitamins and pretty much everything from the original ingredients. Try cooking a high grade steak at max output on your oven 4-5 times and see if anything is really worth eating at that point. -Veterinary Diets In the late 60s, a generation after the invention of kibble, there became an increase in kidney and liver failures, prompting a French vet to create his own trademarked food - Royal Canin with Hill's Science Diet being created later in the US. (Fun fact, Hill's has actually trademarked the term "prescription diet" so that no other pet food brand is allowed to use it in their packaging.) 3. Cats vs. Dogs - What's the difference? While dogs are much more flexible in what they can eat, Cats are obligate carnivores. A Carnivore (Dogs) does well on meat based diets, while Obligate Carnivores (Cats) need a meat based diet in order to survive. Broken down in food- dogs ideally need 30% protein, 63% fat and 7% carb from their food cats need 53% protein, 35% fat and 12%. 4. Why does this matter and what does it mean for their food? Dry foods are primarily carbohydrates. 35-50% on average. This is 3-5x more than a cat needs in addition to the lack of protein, which is what keeps a cat functioning. Grains - or carbs can be extremely detrimental to a cats body: Carbohydrates turn into sugar in the body, meaning the more carbs a cat consumes, the more sugar, which increases their chances of getting diabetes. In the wild, most cats choose to avoid eating the intestines of their prey, where most of the grains and fibre are kept, indicating cats also use very little to no fibre in their diets. On top of that, the lack of moisture in kibble actually dehydrates cats, one of the primary reasons for kidney problems down the line, affecting 1 in 3 cats. 5. What do I feed my Cat? Feed wet or raw! At the end of the day, if your cat only eats fancy feast or whiskas, or if that's the only wet(canned) food you can afford, it's a huge step forward for their diets. These brands are going to be better than any of the highest quality dry foods you can find because it means they're getting the moisture and protein they need without the extra carb and salt content. Raw foods have come a long way. They aren't all the frozen patties or having to home cook the meal with all these added supplements. There's lots of complete brands out there in different formats that make it easy for everyone. Freeze-dried is a form of raw that you rehydrate and feed. Air-dried (most expensive) is fed like kibble, and is kind of a jerky texture. If you're on raw, or with any food, make sure to wash your hands with soap before and after feeding and I recommend getting your cat dewormed twice a year for precautionary actions. -Treats the common ones like greenies, tempations are all kibble like treats, filled with carbs and salt, that make them irresistible but also horrible for them. Single 1 ingredient treats are the best out there. Even a scrab of unseasoned chicken from dinner or salmon sashimi from a sushi night is a great alternative.

6. Reading the Label Once you get into canned foods, there's hundreds of options. Here's a few things that help me decide what's worth it and what to avoid. Starting from worst to best with the wording: "Flavor" ie - "Beef flavor Dog food" it doesn't even need a certain percentage of beef, as long as it's technically detected in the food. "With" ie - "Dinner with beef" - beef only has to be minimum 3% of the food. 25% rule - If the food has 25% or more of the main protein, it can be labelled as "Beef entree" or "lamb Dinner". If there's more than 1, they can be labelled together but must add up to 25% and be labelled in the order of their percentage. - ie "Lamb & Lamb Liver Entree" 95% rule - At least 95% of the food must be of the listed protein. "Chicken dog food" Often - those with a 95% label will proudly show it, while the others you'll have to read to notice. 7. Kitten vs. Adult vs. Senior food There's really only 4 categories a food can be put into - Gestation/Lactation (for Mama cats) Growth Maintenance All Life Stages "Senior food" does not have a category as there is no clear definition on a change of nutritional needs as a cat ages. While "Growth" is typically attributed to kittens, most wet foods will have kitten portioning as they are all life stages. The biggest difference is that kitten food is fattier and has some added nutrients needed for growth. These can also be found in any other canned food with the appropriate portioning. 8. Urinary Food There's a lot of misconceptions about this. Brands will advertise Urinary dry food or the vet line - Kidney food. But if it's dry, as we now know, it dehydrates them, furthering the damage to the kidneys, making it extremely counter intuitive. Any wet food will be better than a dry "urinary" food to help treat this issue, ideally a low phosphorous brand. - Weruva is the most popular and has a low phosphorous line as well. 9. Fish Fish is not a naturally occurring food for cats! Cats only started eating fish when fishing became prominent in human civilizations. Fish is the most common occurring allergy in cats! - some symptoms are constant itchiness, rashes, immediately throwing up, or butt dragging after a poop. I personally recommend avoiding fish in cat foods, especially Tuna, if it's bad for us in large quantities due to the toxic build up of chemicals and things like mercury, imagine what it does to them. 10. Pickiness and Meal Time Cats are notoriously picky or fussy or spoiled. This is because they have 4 stages of food preference that need to be just right. 1 - smell 2 - taste 3 - texture / consistency 4 - how it sits in their stomach

It's hard to find exactly what they want and unfortunately there's no shortcut. It's really just trial and error.

Hot tips: -Add warm water to their food - it's gross but cats like their food at prey body temperature, if it's cold to the touch for us, it's likely not that appealing for them either.

-Just like dogs, keeping a routine is incredibly important for cats. they're actually a lot more meticulous about routine than dogs are and will let you know exactly when breakfast and dinner time is. Leaving the food out makes it less appealing for them. If they don't eat breakfast, take the food away and they have to wait for dinner. Over time they'll eat until they're done during meal time.

-Play with them before food! Cats are hunters, their goal for survival is catch, kill, eat, sleep etc. Play with them near meal time, get them real worked up until they're exhausted, then put down food, they'll be much more likely to eat now that they're gotten all the hunting out of the way.

-I recommend having at least 4 or 5 different flavors or brands that your cat likes, to rotate through so they don't get bored and you don't end up at square 1 when they decide that one they like isn't good enough anymore.

Keep in mind: Beef, Lamb & Duck are often high in fat and should be used as a once in a while protein. Chicken & Turkey are the best proteins. Even if your cat doesn't like chicken from one brand, they could go nuts for one from a different brand or even the same brand with a different texture. Try them out and see, don't eliminate a whole protein so easily because of a few that get turned down.

I think that's a wrap. Food really makes a world of a difference for these guys, their whole world revolves around it and getting it right can mean years of a difference. - For reference, the average life expectancy for indoor cats is 15-20 years old! For the devils' advocates - yes there are cats that have lived long lives on the worst quality dry foods, but they're really the exceptions, same as people. There's definitely people who have lived to their 90s or older surviving off McDonalds or the equivalent, but that's not really the kind of quality of life or food you want to be giving your pet who is entirely dependent on your choices at the pet store. If you stuck around to the end, I appreciate you, and I'm glad there are other people out there who care just as much about their furry friends as I do. I'm more than willing to discuss any questions, even it it's not directly about their nutrition! Side note - some of the canned food brands I'm a big fan of: Feline Natural Rawz Tiki Cat Nature's Logic Identity Weruva/BFF

Lilith went to the vet yesterday. Her eyes have been very watery ever since she came home from the shelter, and after Lucifer I wanted to be extra safe that nothing was up. She’s also had a bit of an upset tummy since coming home as well. Good news on the eyes is that it’s just an upper respiratory infection and we are starting a round of meds to clear her up.

On the tummy issues I am apparently an idiot who hasn’t had an actual kitten in 14 years. At 6 months old I thought she was old enough to be eating the same thing as the adult cats in the house. Nope, she needs to be on kitten food until at least a year old per the vet. As soon as I got home I started going down the deep rabbit hole of kitten food options. Vet sent me home with Royal Canin samples, but the ingredient list is rather horrifying. Like, are we feeding a horse or a dedicated carnivore here?

(This is not a dig at my vet by the way, but vets�� love of brands like Royal Canin and Science Diet when there is so much better out there has always made me raise an eyebrow. I use to lovingly call Lucifer’s prescription Science Diet food sawdust.)

Opinions across the internet are so wildly different it started to make my head spin, honestly. I ended up landing on Blue Buffalo Kitten food which seemed like a good middle ground between easily accessible at most stores, not $50 for a small 6 pound bag, and the ingredient list looking a lot similar to the higher quality grain free food my adult cats get.

Hoping this settles her tummy as well as gives her the nutrients she needs as a growing little baby.

Royal Canin Hepatic (Liver) Dry & Wet Dog Food Review - The Dog Nutritionist

In this video, I'm Cam Wimble, a certified Dog Nutritionist, sharing my review of Royal Canin Hepatic (Liver) Dry & Wet Dog Food. I discuss the importance of healthy dog food and how it can support your dog's liver function. I explain the role of the liver, the factors affecting its function, and the ingredients in this prescription dog food.

The liver is like a computer in your dog's body, needing natural food to function well. Unnatural foods can strain the liver unnecessarily. Feeding your dog fresh, healthy food to support its liver without overwhelming it is crucial.

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

i think the most annoying part of dog food discourse is how many people will act as though proplan/hill’s/Royal canin diets aren’t extremely and prohibitively expensive and that THAT is the reason so many people look into healthy alternatives.

People complain about corn being in the first five ingredients on most of those feeds because, regardless of other factors here, that is not an expensive ingredient. But it makes up a large chunk of the dry food. So the dry food should be fairly affordable, right?

Oh… with tax you’re spending about $100 for one 45lb bag of food where the third ingredient is wheat and the fourth and fifth ingredients are corn.

Oh… well! It’s slightly cheaper! But the second ingredient is rice, third is wheat, fourth is corn, and then fifth is poultry byproduct. None of those are very expensive so this just must be the low end cost of dog food unfortunately. The vets recommend it so surely that means prices aren’t inflated, right?

Oh? This one has similar ingredients with the only real difference being no corn? And it’s half the price?? Well surely that’s just a fluke.

Oh. Oh no.

This one even has CORN in it and it’s $20 cheaper?? Wow!

Like listen at some point I don’t care if your dog food has the ichor of the gods in it, I’m not spending $100 every five days if there are cheaper options with just as many “good” ingredients in it. If you think I’m a dog abuser because I can’t afford this overpriced garbage, that’s too bad. I don’t care. My dogs are perfectly healthy with the food I give them. Great weight and great coat. People giving dog food recommendations that aren’t those top three hyper-expensive dog foods aren’t trying to epic own those dastardly vets half the time, but I really don’t blame the ones who do lose trust in vets when the only heartworm protection they recommend lately are expensive triple-action brands like Simparica Trio that costs $120+ as opposed to the other heartworm protections that are only about $40-$60 on average, which is still cheaper even if you add on a $20-$40 flea and tick protection separately, and only recommend dog food that costs $85+ a bag even if your dog doesn’t have specialized dietary needs.

Those top three foods are GREAT at making competent prescription diets, I don’t deny that. I do still have to criticize the pricing of those prescription diets though because I have spoken to DOZENS of people who had to pull their pets off of a prescription diet and struggle to find something comparable because they couldn’t afford the food, and that’s terrible! These are not poor companies! Purina, Royal Canin, and Hill’s can ABSOLUTELY afford to lower their prices to make their food accessible to people who need it for their animals but they don’t. They probably never will. Because at the core they are run by greedy corporations. It doesn’t matter how many good nutritionists are on board if the company is run by people who put profits over customers and make the food impossible for people to afford.

[singlethread]

If you’re ever like omg why do my vets always push hills and royal canin and purina pro plan it’s because those are veterinarian backed diets and often times prescription specific

A Importância da Ração Coadjuvante na Saúde dos Pets

A principal diferença entre a ração coadjuvante e a ração comum reside na sua formulação. Enquanto a ração comum oferece os nutrientes básicos para um animal saudável, a ração coadjuvante possui uma formulação personalizada, com ingredientes balanceados para atender às necessidades específicas de cada pet. Por exemplo, um cão com problemas renais precisa de uma dieta com baixo teor de proteína e fósforo, enquanto um cão com alergias alimentares precisa de uma ração hipoalergênica.

É importante ressaltar que a ração coadjuvante não é um medicamento, mas sim um alimento terapêutico. Ela não contém substâncias químicas que combatem doenças, mas sim nutrientes que ajudam o organismo do pet a funcionar de forma mais eficiente. A ração coadjuvante deve ser sempre indicada por um médico veterinário, que irá avaliar as necessidades específicas do seu pet e recomendar o tipo de ração mais adequado.

A escolha da ração coadjuvante ideal é fundamental para garantir a saúde e o bem-estar do seu pet. Existem diversos tipos de ração coadjuvante disponíveis no mercado, cada uma com uma formulação específica para atender às necessidades de diferentes condições de saúde. Algumas das marcas mais conhecidas incluem Royal Canin, Hill’s Prescription Diet, Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets e Eukanuba Veterinary Diets.

Em resumo, a ração coadjuvante é uma ferramenta essencial para o tratamento de diversas doenças em cães e gatos. Ao fornecer os nutrientes específicos de que o organismo precisa para se recuperar, ela acelera o processo de cura e minimiza os efeitos colaterais de outros tratamentos. A escolha da ração coadjuvante deve ser feita em conjunto com o médico veterinário, que irá indicar a melhor opção para o seu pet, levando em consideração suas necessidades específicas e o custo-benefício.

Palavras-chave: ração coadjuvante, saúde animal, pets, veterinário, alimentação, doenças, ração terapêutica, ração medicamentosa.

Este artigo pode ser útil para: tutores de cães e gatos, veterinários, estudantes da área veterinária e empresas que produzem alimentos para animais de estimação.

Sugestões para futuras pesquisas: O impacto da ração coadjuvante na qualidade de vida dos pets, o desenvolvimento de novas formulações de ração coadjuvante, a importância da educação dos tutores sobre a alimentação dos animais de estimação.

Top Cat Foods to Alleviate Diarrhea and Vomiting Issues

When our feline companions face digestive issues like diarrhea and vomiting, it can be a worrying time for pet owners. Choosing the right cat food is crucial to help them recover and get back to their playful selves.
