I learned the most important lessons in nutrition from my own pets, Carly the three -legged Dalmation and Archie the wire-haired terrier. Veterinary courses in nutrition teach physiology and deficiencies, not preventive medicine. My own dogs taught me links between medical problems and how we feed our dogs that I did not learn in school. Now after 28 years of practicing vet medicine, I have learned how to keep other dogs healthier and happier by feeding them healthy ingredients and avoiding allergenic ones. My upcoming book, Dog Dish Diet, will help you understand why some types of dog food (dry or canned) or ingredients ( animal protein, carbohydrates, and fats) affect different individual dogs in unhealthy ways. I will show you how diet changes can help your dogs live a fuller, healthier life. (And make less trips to the vet!!)
