By now you’ve probably heard about the controversy between certain dog foods and potential DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy). But is DCM really caused by dog food? Many specialists and veterinarians are beginning to raise serious questions about the alleged link between diet and heart disease. This week we’re joined by animal nutritionist Dr. Ryan Yamka for a deeper dive behind the headlines into what’s really going on - or not! Dr. Yamka shares his expertise and experience with this issue, what veterinary professionals need to know in order to answer our clients’ questions, and what we do to do moving forward to resolve the controversy. Dr. Yamka also shares some of his concerns about how the data has presented to the veterinary profession and dog-owning public, and what he thinks may be behind the dilemma. This is an incredibly educational episode that EVERY veterinary professional (and pet parent) needs to hear!
