Description

In this mini-episode, Courtney discusses the importance of nutrition for dogs and the potential dangers of processed dog food. She explains that dogs do not have a carbohydrate requirement and that a high-protein, high-fat diet is ideal for them. Courtney also highlights the presence of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in dog food, which can be carcinogenic and contribute to inflammation and disease. She emphasizes the need for pet owners to read labels and choose dog food brands that prioritize quality and transparency. Additionally, Courtney suggests incorporating herbs and supplements, such as sardines, eggs, organ meats, and probiotics, into a dog's diet to support their immune system and overall health.
