The BRAT Diet

Brat diet for dogs seems to get a lot of attention on this website, so I went digging through my numerous bookmarks and finally found this video I watched awhile back about a guy who feeds his dog an all natural diet – mostly vegetarian, he admits that his dog (LOVES) and eats meat, but he does not.

It’s more in depth than just the if it’s o.k. to give the Brat diet to your canine friend or not (which of course it is and there are specific times when you’ll want to), but I thought as a reader you might enjoy a new perspective on the expanded view of how this dog owner lovingly takes care of his dog.  He suggests some different ways to work Brat diet alternatives into your dogs diet that are affordable.

Here’s the video about fresh, natural dog food and it’s about forty minutes long.  It is a LOT of information packed in there, but there are some specific examples of what not to give your dog, based on his own experiences, that is a staple ingredient that most dog owners actively put INTO their own dog’s diet.  Just thought you might get some additional benefits from this dog resource and his healthy insights.

Hello readers,

I’ve been getting some questions as of late that have focused around “dog diarrhea” and how it relates to using the same healthy balance approach that we humans have (I’m assuming you are not a dog reading on your Master’s computer) with the B.R.A.T. Diet.

The fact of the matter is that when my dog is sick, (I have a Terrier that often eats anything and everything”) I use the same basic principals as expressed with the BRAT Diet, but do so with a couple added precautions that are dog-specific, dangers or warnings that people don’t have to worry about.

Of course, I am not a licensed vet, but do feed my dog human grade food and successfully can and do adjust his diet whenever his stomach is upset, or his mood is less than ideal, or he just is not behaving like himself. I’ll work on a couple dog specific BRAT Diet health articles to address some of your concerns. Give me a day or two and I’ll post them when they are ready.

Thanks for your Brat Diet questions – keep ‘em coming.

Sandy
