Thank you for this video! Dogs(and cats) are CARNIVORES, not omnivores. They do not need all the carbohydrates found in kibble and home cooked meals. They need to be fed a species appropriate diet, which is a RAW PREY MODEL diet. Including meat, bone and organs. Kibble is just a way for vets and dog food companies to make money. Its pretty sad that vets believe kibble is actually "healthy" for pets. Then again, when dog food companies sponser your nutrition class, I guess they can't help it. -.-
You state that it is important to give a high protein, digestible, metabolic, species appropriate food; yet, you do not recommend any particular brand of dog/cat food. What brand(s) do you recommend?
This is the best explanation of this topic I've heard. Another great resource for information on this topic are the two books written by Tom Lonsdale. Well done.
Would it be correct to say that a quick physical way to tell if the protein is highly assimilatable protein would be that the raw fed dog's poo turns white & crumbles away to dust in a few days because the proteins are completely broken down v/s unuseable proteins (low quality kibbles) fed dog's poo looks like a big pile of ground up kibble & it stays the same(oh those preservatives!) for weeks& months because the dog's system cannot break down the proteins?

Awesome video! Now how do we get other vets to pay attention and stop recommending (and selling) crap?

Why not just wet the good quality kibble?
