With the rise of grain-free dog foods, veterinarians started to notice a worrying trend; dogs eating these diets were found to be suffering from a rare heart condition. This illness, called Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), causes the heart muscle to weaken and can lead to sudden death.17 May 2021

It’s good information but I thought she would discuss all 10 myths and she didn’t. I was waiting for the subject of by-products particularly and then nothing.

Vegan and vegetarian isn't a fad for humans. Wow.

[@Harambre]

So which brand!

One that is backed by years of credentialed research and peer review.

This is the 2nd video I've seen posted by a nutritionist. It saddens me your profession works for the pet food industry instead of helping pet owners. Such a loss when you could be helping pet owners plan healthy and nutritious diets (like RDs do).

Take another look at her credentials. If you can't trust this person, you can't trust anyone.

Pet food is what most people feed their pets. I don't even want to cook for myself half the time. If you think I'm being a chef for 4 cats plus buying all the nutrition powder that has to go in it, you're out of your mind.
