Why Suppressing Symptoms Could Be Killing Your Dog
Manage episode 483998577 series 3625283
We dive into the misguided trend of vegetarian and vegan diets for carnivores and the overcomplicated approach to pet nutrition that emphasizes micronutrient counting over species-appropriate feeding.
• Discussing the absurdity of feeding vegetarian diets to carnivores, despite dogs' biological design for meat consumption
• Examining how some veterinarians obsess over specific nutrient values like selenium while missing the bigger nutritional picture
• Exploring how hospital treatments often compromise already sick animals with excessive medications and interventions
• Warning about Cytopoint and other immunosuppressive treatments that mask symptoms without addressing root causes
• Explaining how proper raw diets naturally regulate urinary pH and prevent crystal formation
• Demystifying weight management on raw diets - simple adjustments work without complex calculations
• Emphasizing the simplicity of species-appropriate nutrition over complicated feeding protocols
