Por qué NO ME GUSTA la dieta BARF 👨‍⚕️🍖🐶🐱

Friends, I have seen the light. There is something that has made me change my mind, and I am finally at peace with the world. Hello, I am Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Some time ago, we recorded a video about the bar diet. And although I warned you in the video that it was going to cause controversy, I never imagined that it would be as controversial as it is. When I started recording the video, I reminded you that this was my point of view. It was simply my opinion based on my personal experience in the clinic and on the scientific arguments that I mentioned in the video. And I gave you arguments both for and against. The fact is that in that video they asked me many questions and shared many opinions with me, and those contributions were what made me change my mind. And look, I have decided to leave everything behind and go live in the countryside. No, I. I'm telling you, no. In the end, we had another video prepared for this week, but I received a comment that inspired me to record this video in which I have to make some assessments about the bar diet. When I saw it, I was quietly on the couch at home and I said to him, jose, Jose, stop the presses, because we have to record a video about the bar diet. And he said another one to me and I said, well, yes, because I have to give the YouTube world a little bit of gossip. Does it have anything to do with haters? It has a lot to do with haters. Well, they won't be with haters, let's say they are just discordant opinions. I'm going to read you the comment that made me think a little bit about making this video. And we're going to make some reflections that perhaps weren't so clear in the previous video, and that I hope will be completely clear today. I want. I don't feel like. Well, I didn't myself. Well, the thing is, in the comment that I'm going to leave for you below, so you can read it or not, I won't leave it for you. It's so long it's going to cover my face. He told me. I find it incredible that among all the arguments you're giving, you haven't even mentioned the most important one, at least for me and all the people I've met who practice it with their pets. We understand the ditter, which is the issue of preservatives. If you look at the expiration date on a bag of commercial feedback, you'll see that it could easily indicate that it expires in the year 2045 or even in the year 2050, and that without having much of an idea, is already a bit creepy. But if you have a bit of an idea, as you should have a veterinarian and YouTuber who advises other people on what or not to do with an ellipsis, you'll know that certain studies have shown that they are the main cause of cancer and allergies in our furry friends today. Of course, you can find studies funded by the industry, such as studies that affect people funded by pharmaceutical companies that say otherwise. But try to convince me that preservatives are not carcinogenic, not to mention the absurdly overused colorants in this type of food, because they are there to appeal more to the owner than to the dog. I find that really difficult for you to achieve. On the other hand, you also have documentaries like Feed it where they address part of this issue. Since I find it hard to believe that it hasn't occurred to you, I ask you to please explain why you don't talk about this reasoning behind why many people opt for the bar diet. Wow, this girl makes me look like a neflanders. Well, yes, learn. Learn to be a hater. No, Carla, you're not a hater. You're simply expressing your opinion in a comment and encouraging me to express mine or clarify things that probably weren't entirely clear to you. But anyway, right now you have a light, like an aura of inspiration. But it's the sun, right? This isn't an effect. Oh, it's not like I was inspired. Since your comment is the reason why we felt it was important to make this video, we are going to dissect your comment a bit and gradually respond to the things that you ask me to answer. Well, in the comment you tell me that what gives you the creeps are preservatives and you tell me if you look at the expiration date of a commercial feed, you will see that it could very well indicate that it expires in the year 2045 or in the year 2050. I certainly have not found any feed that expires in 20 or 25 years from now. Feed does not have such a long expiration date. It is true that some commercial feed has preservatives. Preservatives are additives that do not have to be bad that are used in any type of preparation. You also use them. Additives can be, for example, salt, or they can also be the spices that you can add to a dish of food. Therefore, saying that preservatives are carcinogenic is making a rather broad statement, especially if these types of preservatives have a natural origin and are not highly processed additives in a laboratory. But I suppose that this refers to other types of additives as well. Don't be so blunt about it. Yes, there's no need to be so blunt. And I know perfectly well which additives you're referring to if you live in Europe. Not all of those additives that start with E and are followed by A number E E208 I don't know. I don't know which one is true. Not all of these additives are artificial, but there is a regulation that states that this type of letter and code corresponds to an additive that can be perfectly natural. The rest of the additives that are artificial and made in a laboratory do raise some doubts, especially if you look at the studies that have been done on them. If you look at my opinions on other videos on this channel about, for example feed with or without additives, I am against adding a lot of additives to food. That's why I always talk about quality food. The feed I'm referring to is not feed that is loaded with additives, but rather feed that has a large amount of fresh ingredients, even if they are cooked, but they are fresh. And in addition, some antioxidants and substances can be added to prevent the feed or food, in this case from spoiling over time so that it can be safely consumed by animals. If you turn the bag of feed over, as I always recommend you do, you have to read the list of ingredients and in that list of ingredients you will see which ones are 328 and which ones are fresh fish or meat. I recommend that you buy a feed that you know the entire list of ingredients for the vast majority of them. I do not recommend that you buy a feed that is made entirely of additives or meat products because in the end that is clearly of lower quality than the other one I am referring to. Yes, what you wanted to do with the other video was not to recommend that they buy just any feed. Not. No, no, of course not. I was not recommending that just any feed was better than the bar diet. I was simply expressing my doubts that all of the DEVARP precepts are against feed without taking into account the type of feed and the ingredients used in that feed. In short, when I recommend that you use a feed to feed your pet, it is because I am recommending a good feed to feed it, and for that you need to dig a little deeper into your Wallet because they are usually more expensive. And for that, of course, you have to look at the label and be very informed about the ingredients that the feed contains. And you always have to choose those that quality raw materials. That's why in the video on the bar diet, I considered this type of food to be safer. And it's this type of food that doesn't have a large amount of preservatives or additives compared to foods that can be used raw, following the precepts of the bar diet, since these have some major drawbacks that I already mentioned in the other video regarding contamination by bacteria and the possibility, for example, that the bones could cause some type of disease in animals. But in any case, what I was telling you in that video is my opinion and I don't have to have the same opinion as other people. There may be another veterinarian who recommends something different from mine. Well, you continue saying that if you have a little idea like I should have. Okay, thanks for assuming that for me. Veterinarian and YouTuber who advises people what or what not to do. You put an ellipsis at the end because I don't know if you're saying that I'm a good or bad vet or a good or bad YouTuber. In any case, a bad YouTuber. Of course, as I just explained in this video, I'm not advising you to choose one thing or the other. I'm simply giving you my personal opinion and I've given you the arguments for and against so that you can form your own, which I can see is quite in favor of the diet. But there are other people who may be a little hesitant and want to know what the strongest arguments are for and against. You may know that certain studies have shown that they are the main cause of cancer and allergies. In our furry friends today when we talk about studies, the normal thing is for you to provide the studies that have shown that these types of additives are a cause of cancer. So if you know of any studies that show that these additives can cause cancer, please let me know in the comments because I want to see them too. Interesting. In any case, I've never read anything like that. Obviously there are additives that are suspected and hidden, as I've been saying throughout the video. So if you come across any type of study that says that an additive causes cancer, then obviously don't use that additive. And if you look for it and you find the code E2, I don't know how much in the feed, then try to avoid it and look for others that I assure you don't have. Naturally, you continue saying that you can find studies funded by the industry, as happens to humans, with studies funded by pharmaceutical companies that say otherwise. But try to convince me that preservatives are not carcinogenic. Well, it's a bit risky to say that the studies that support your point of view, or the good studies and the studies that go against your point of view, or the bad studies funded, funded by the industry, a malevolent industry that wants to make your dog sick and put him in an endless cycle of veterinary care. You have to keep in mind that there are scientific studies done by prestigious universities and independent organizations that say that these types of substances, especially some of them, have no relationship with the onset of diseases. These types of studies are not funded by the industry. You shouldn't think that the only studies that are valid for you are the good studies. In the end, you have to be open to hearing different types of opinions and base yourself on scientific arguments to be able to form your own. In the other video I left links to some precepts widely accepted by those who follow the Barr diet, such as that freezing destroys bacteria. These are scientific studies that show you that there are entire populations of bacteria, for example the well known Salmonella or Campylobacter, which is present in most meats that do not die when frozen. Anyone who tells you that freezing the meat you are going to give your dog makes it perfectly safe is lying to you because those bacteria are still and that has been scientifically proven. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, I will leave a study below and I will also leave you a link to the Sources and Trends Report. It is a study that is done at a European level on the bacteria that exist in meat throughout the year and that many of them do not die when frozen or anything like that. So when I said that, for me an important point was the bacteria, it was for a reason. You continue saying without mentioning the absurdly overused colorings in this type of food to appeal more to the owner than to the dog. Well, look, there you have it. If the food contains colorings, then obviously that is an unwanted ingredient. What you need to check is that the food doesn't contain them. As I've been telling you throughout the video, you need to read the ingredients of the feed and if the feed contains colorings, then you have to think that it's probably not good quality because feeds with quality ingredients usually don't contain these types of additives that are more aimed at giving the kibble a little color than ultimately providing a benefit to the dog. But in the end, that's up to you. And since there's a huge selection, you can choose between buying one of those that will be cheaper. I'm telling you that the cheapest ones will be those that have colorings and additives and all that type of stuff, or one that has mainly fresh food and few additives, or simply preservatives to help prevent the food from spoiling and that your dog can eat it safely. I think that's a bit difficult for you to achieve. And you tell me I'm trying, at least you can't tell me that I don't do it. By contrast, you continue by saying there are also documentaries like Fed it, which address part of this issue. Well, earlier we got very scientific and you told me that there were a lot of scientific articles that talked about how preservatives and additives were completely harmful to the health of all types of animals. I understand. And you told me that the other studies, the ones that say the opposite, are studies prepared by the pharmaceutical industry. So if we are holding on to scientific arguments, we cannot simply trust what a documentary says. A documentary is not a scientific article. A documentary simply expresses an opinion that is more or less based on facts, but at the end of the day, they are the opinion of the people who are filming it and the opinion of the people who appear in front of the camera. Like mine was the opinion that appeared in the video about the bar diet. In the end, what they are telling you in the documentary is probably part of the truth that has been filtered. Because at the end of the day, whoever is making the documentary is making it with a certain purpose. I always recommend that you try to avoid these types of opinion makers, as I don't try to be an opinion maker. I simply try to send you information so that you can generate your own. If you avoid these types of opinion makers, in the end, you will be able to have a much more objective view on the matter, and you will be able to listen to arguments that may be closer to your line of thinking and arguments that may be further away. Because if those arguments are well founded, they probably all have something to say. But you should never take anyone at face value, not even me. Okay, and now you're telling me that you find it hard to believe that the issue of preservatives hadn't occurred to me. Well, I really think that was something that was implicit in the video when I said that you have to resort to Quality food, even if it's commercial for animals. It's not that it hadn't occurred to me, it just seemed redundant. But look, since I see that you didn't understand that, take a look at the video I'm making for you where I think everything is made crystal clear and I'm repeating myself like garlic. Oh, a preservative, please. Why don't you talk about this reasoning why many people opt for the bar diet? Well, thank you for asking me. Please. Thanks to you, we're making this video where my position is perfectly clear and where it also explains the aspects that you have to take into account when choosing a feed, and especially when it comes to not putting all food additives or preservatives in the same bag. Because obviously there are also categories among them. And there are additives that are natural and there are additives that are artificial, good and bad. Although to tell you the truth, the whole good and bad thing also gives me the creeps. But. Oh well, that's the end of the comment. Yes, that's the end of the comment. The truth is that the tone of the message. I understand that when written it can often be misinterpreted, but the tone of the message seems a bit abrupt. I don't know why. There's always so much tension on the Internet that there's a susceptibility that you have to be very careful about. I understand many YouTubers. I'm more of a veterinarian than a YouTuber. And that's why I still didn't understand where they start their videos. Oh, this is my personal opinion. Don't be offended. I don't know what. Well, maybe I should start saying it more often, right? But you know that at the end of the day, when I tell you my opinion in the videos, I repeat that it's my personal opinion and that you don't have to believe it or follow it to the letter. It's simply what I think. Just as you may think something else. Carlos, you can see your true colors because you're paid by the feed industry. Oh yes, the other day they put 2 million euros in my account. Well, look, no, I don't get paid by the feed industry, nor do I want them to pay me, because I want to express my opinion completely, freely. And in any case, I don't earn any money because I work for someone else. In other words, my boss would earn it anyway. And I can have complete freedom to talk about feed and diet bars. I'm only motivated by animal welfare. And in the Same way that I'm not going to recommend a medication to an animal that it doesn't need, for example, an antibiotic or something like that that it doesn't need. I'm also not going to recommend something that I consider could be detrimental to its health. Obviously, when I offer someone a range of feeds and I say, well, look, this one costs so much and that one costs so much, there are other types of determining factors, such as the economic situation of each family, which make the owner opt for one option or another. But I offer them the entire range, of course, although I do highlight which ones are of higher quality, and in the end they are the ones who decide. Look, as an example, here is a label for a feed that we have in the clinic and that I usually give to my patients. As you can see, it has salmon and chicken. These are very high quality ingredients and a protein with a high biological value. Of course, it also has additives, but if you stop to read it, the additives are usually vitamins and some antioxidants that prevent the feed from going bad before you give it to your pet. In short, even though it is a processed product, I consider it to be a very high quality product due to the quality of the ingredients it contains. And it is something that I usually recommend feeding to pets. I would also like to tell you that I am not against the barf diet simply because it is a barf diet. I am simply saying that the barf diet has some negative aspects that must be considered and that not everything is a world of color and fantasy, just as not everything is a world of color and fantasy as we are seeing with the issue of additives. What I want to make clear is that if I am opting for commercial food, it is because I see that it is easier to give and more universal for all animals, and you do not need to have previous knowledge of dietetics or animal nutrition in this case of dogs. I think I have made myself clear, right? I hope so, because if not, tomorrow we will have to make another video. It is an interesting topic that moves people's passions and in the end that is good because it also makes you rethink things. It is possible that someone watching this type of video who was completely in favor of the barf diet begins to think that, no, that everything is not as rosy as it has been painted, or even the opposite. It is possible that someone who was watching this type of video suddenly looks at the bag of their pet's food and says, oh my God, what am I giving my Dog, I need to switch to a healthier option and perhaps the issue of the bar diet or buying quality feed is raised. Yes, but since I don't want this to seem like buying quality feed. Well, that's why I say consider the bar diet. And now let's move on to the question of the week. Well, what question? I'm not preparing any. Don't worry, Carlo. I like this whole thing of giving you a hard time, and I've prepared some here, for example. The horror. My dog frequently sucks his balls and. Balls. That's serious. Thanks for your ethnographic document. As long as you don't force him to do it to you, which would be considered Zupilia. Well, I don't think so. It's not very serious. Look, this is a quite a. Hello. Hello. What's wrong with you? You're a horse. Come on, let's go. This comment didn't bother me much, so I'm going to pass on another one.

Maybe your dog has known a lot. I don't know, all his life. To get to the point. Ellipsis. Ellipsis. Well, look, perhaps you've expressed the feelings of many people, because in the end I ramble on a lot.

Yes, but of course, no matter how much I talk, people often think I didn't say. Hell, it's not like I should be like that. I did say something. Maybe you weren't interested. Or maybe I didn't give you the magic formula that says that if you sprinkle unicorn powder on your dog's water, all his ailments will be cured. But man, it wasn't like I should be saying either. Okay, I've had enough fun, thanks.

Let's go. This is too long. Oh, this is too long. Let's go, let's go. I'll make it short. I'll make it short. If you also want your question to end up being selected as the question of the week and appear in this section, what you have to do is ask us your questions below in the comments of the videos. In the end we'll choose one and we'll end up answering it. I don't know. Any week until next week, Jose, because in the end we didn't record the farewell.

Well, whatever. Subscribe, subscribe and let's go mix.
