Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep13 - Canine Nutrition Potpourri with Magda Chiarella

Listen Later

Magda Chiarella joins me for this week’s podcast and, if Magda is here, you know we’ll be talking about canine nutrition!

This week’s question generated a lot of interesting comments that we discuss in the podcast:


“Hi I found a recipe for a dog Slushy for pregnant females. Its ingredients are baby kale, baby Spinach, coconut water and flaxseed meal.

All ingredients according to Google are safe but kale. Says new studies show it can cause kidney and bladder stones.

​Any advice please? I'd love to supplement this to my pregnant girls but if the kale thing is a fact I’ll take it out of the list.”

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Does kale cause kidney and bladder stones in dogs?
  • Is flax seed meal a phytoestrogen to be avoided by breeding animals?
  • Should those who feed kibble be offering different formulas to their intact and neutered animals?
  • Can flax seed meal cause cyanide poisoning?
