What if that convenient bag of kibble is slowly compromising your dog's health? In this eye-opening episode, Heliox dives deep into canine nutrition, challenging the pet food industry's standard offerings. Drawing parallels between human ultra-processed food research from Yale Medicine and commercial dog kibble, the hosts explore how high-temperature processing destroys nutrients, synthetic additives replace natural ones, and mystery meat "meals" substitute for quality protein. The episode doesn't just criticize—it offers practical alternatives from freeze-dried raw to gently-cooked meals, detailing the benefits of each approach. Whether you're ready to embark on home-cooking adventures or simply seeking better commercial options, this conversation empowers pet parents to question marketing claims and make informed choices. Your furry friend's long-term health might depend on the decisions you make at feeding time.
