If you want to feed your dog the very best food (even if you don't have time to home cook meals or feed raw) this episode is for you. Dr. Hillary and I dive into the essentials of optimal dog nutrition covering what you won't hear from most conventional vets (spoiler: they don't teach us this in vet school!). We chat about age-appropriate diets, what's missing when the packet says "complete and balanced," and the power of whole foods. And Dr. Hillary shares a powerful story about a tiny dog with IBD who was almost euthanized but made a full recovery on a fresh food diet.
