Hey everyone it's Sara and today we have a fun taste test video for you we
are looking at switching our dogs from dry kibble food over to fresh dog food
just for the various nutritional value that comes with the benefit of feeding
fresh food so in order to do so we were trying to figure out what kind of food
or protein we wanted to change them over - we're gonna do beef we're gonna do
turkey we're gonna do pork our dogs don't have any specific food-related
allergies or requirements aside from the old man who has a couple of GI issues
every once in a while so which diet to pick well our friends over at Nom Nom
went ahead and sent us a couple of samples of some of their different foods
and their varieties so that we could go ahead and offer them to our dogs and see
if the dogs had a taste test preference just to make it a little bit more fun
and selecting which food we were gonna feed if you're not familiar with Nom Nom
I'm really really excited about this company - it's an up-and-coming food
company and all of their diets are formulated by a Board Certified
Veterinary Nutritionist. They have a geneticist on the team, a microbiologist
on the team so these people really know their stuff so today we're gonna see if
the dogs are as excited about the food as we are alright before we get into the
taste test and if you like this video please let me know by hitting that like
button go ahead and hit the subscribe and the bell notifications button if you
want to receive more content just like it - let's go ahead and get the dogs and
get right into the taste test. All right first up chicken chow - yum - chicken just
you all right open it looks like this oh yeah nice chunky vegetables and chicken
Oh quick little behavior bite for you if you'll notice I'm preparing this food
over here and I'm not getting Blue all excited about this even though this is
gonna be super exciting for her because I don't want to encourage her to be
overly excited about the countertop so she doesn't end up accidentally counter
surfing and getting into something that's toxic or she shouldn't
right here yeah sit good wait
"Eat"
The foods that Blue Ivy and Boada are taste testing today are all made with
human grade ingredients now while that's not a nutritional requirement for dogs
there is something great to that and that is human grade ingredients are
required to all be cooked separately when it comes to dog food meaning you
get the maximum nutrition value by proper cooking before combining
everything into the diet
Okay so for round two we mix it up just a little bit we went ahead and swapped
the last one that she chose which was the pork and put that in the position of
the first one she chose which was the turkey so we switched the turkey in the
pork and the first one we have here is beef then we have pork then we have
chicken then we have Turkey to see if she just went for the first bowl or if
she's gonna switch it up or what she thinks Betty Blue I'm gonna try again
sit good leave it good good girl here right here
wait
"Eat"
interesting choice
or in sample multiple
all right so that was a fun little taste test and to be perfectly honest Blue Ivy
will eat just about anything but I do think she had a little bit of a
preference for the turkey and the chicken and the beef over the pork she
left a little more pork in the bowl or the potatoes from the pork than she did
anything else that was in the jars so I could essentially pick any of these
diets for her and I think she'd be just perfectly happy with that she seemed to
like all of them now one thing I want to mention too is if you're thinking about
trying some of these different foods with your dogs is that if they're
already on one specific type of protein you don't want to switch it up too much
because you can cause some stomach upset obviously a treat like this every once
in a while with a different protein is fine but if you want to see what your
dog likes and you want to do like a week of chicken and a week of pork and a week
of turkey it's really a good idea to gradually change the proteins over over
three to four days from one protein to the next so just something to consider
if you are planning on doing a trial of food with your dogs to see what if they
like the most all right I think you've had enough of the spotlight and food for
the evening you've had your dinner already we're gonna go get the other dog
Boada Bear and see if he has a preference for diet all right so here's
the old man Boada Bear we'll see if he has a preference in which one that he
picks first he's had a chance to sniff I'm here real quick so let's see okay Boada
"Eat"
woo likes the turkey first too
finishes all the turkey before moving on the back
when we go to beef
okay so we went ahead and reversed them put them in the same order that we had
Blue Ivy's second round in because cork seems to be the least favorite so we put
it in the position that he went to first which was the turkey so we've got beef
pork chicken turkey in this order so we'll see what he goes for this time if
anybody eat
right - pork right the number - Oh buddy stopped eating it
goes on for the chicken instead now on to the turkey
okay result time but first just a tip of advice if you want to do this type of
trial yourself I used glass jars and a really slippery surface so you might
just want to put a placemat down it might make your result a little bit more
accurate because they're not shoving bowls and forgetting what bowl is where
and having to go back again result wise I think it's pretty clear to say that
Blue Ivy and Boada Bear will eat just about anything and they liked all of the diets
but I did notice that they didn't like the pork diet quite as much they kind of
steered away from it went back to it went to the other other blends and so I
probably wouldn't pick the pork diet just because it didn't seem like they
were as attracted to that of course they did finish the bowls and lick them clean
but I go more in the direction of the turkey I think they both seemed to
really like the turkey diet the most just turkey eggs brown rice carrots
finish and fish oil really good combination of high nutritional quality
so that's probably the the diet that I'm gonna pick to put both of them on just
based on their own taste testing preference again nothing scientific here
you know there's no control this isn't a real experiment we just wanted to do it
for fun to see if the dogs would have a preference so again if you're not
familiar with Nom Nom do check them out they have really high-quality
ingredients I actually came across them by accident because I was doing a lot of
research and studying up on nutrition to put out some nutrition videos which you
can find on the YouTube channel as well but as I dug a little bit deeper in a
nutrition I decided that I wanted to change my own dogs dye and I thought I
was feeding them a high quality diet which in the way of kibble I was but I
wanted to feed something better that was higher nutritionally available to them
and I came across Nom Nom and I've been really impressed with everything they're
doing ever since so if you want to give them a shot if you want to try it out
