Petgevity: Pet Health and Longevity Podcast

Getting a dog comes with a lot of questions. What are you going to call them? Where are you going to walk them? Who’s going to give up their spot on the sofa for them?But there’s one question that sparks more debate, division, and confusion than any other: what are you going to feed them?Kibble, wet, fresh, raw? Getting to grips with canine nutrition can feel like stepping onto a minefield. Just scroll through social media, and you’ll be met with thousands of conflicting opinions from countless sources, often influenced by hidden interests and agendas.That’s why I’m joined today by Sally Barker, a Canine Nutritionist and founder of The Good Paw Project. Sally has spent years supporting dogs and their carers across a wide range of feeding approaches and, importantly, has no affiliations with any particular dog food brand or product. Today, we’re going to take an unbiased look, at different types of diets, break down what a healthy meal looks like, and cut through the noise, to give you the confidence, that you’re putting the right stuff, in your dog’s bowl.Follow Petgevity on InstagramFollow Fabian on Instagram This episode was brought to you by Petgevity.
