Episode 11: Nutrition for puppies and adult dogs: Balancing the correct ratio of calcium and phosphorus in your dogs’ food Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

Has your doctor ever suggested that you eat a diet made up only of processed foods? Of course not!

For some reason, humans are capable of feeding their families a wholesome diet, but when it comes to feeding our dogs, things can get very complicated.

In this episode, Dr. Dobias discusses nutrition for puppies and adult dogs, and why simply following nature can help you avoid health issues in your dog, including painful bone growth and joint problems.

Listen as Dr. Dobias dives deep into how to achieve the correct ratio of Calcium and Phosphorus in our dogs’ food; how to balance a raw diet for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages (even puppies!); why supplements are necessary and why good food is no longer enough; if there is healthy kibble for dogs; and how to prepare nutritious, natural food for your dog at home.

If you’re overwhelmed by dog nutrition and the myriad of dog food choices out there, you won’t want to miss this episode.
