In our dialog, one of many subjects we explored was copper in pet meals.
You realize I’ve been advocating for years to feed canines actual, contemporary meals each time attainable. Speaking with Dr. Karen solely bolstered why that issues a lot.
She shared that whereas pet meals requirements set minimal nutrient necessities, there are sometimes no clear most limits for sure minerals, together with copper.
Consequently, among the hottest pet meals in the marketplace have been discovered to include copper ranges six to seven hundred instances increased than what’s thought of protected.
Over time, that extra copper can accumulate in your canine’s physique, inserting stress on the liver lengthy earlier than apparent signs seem.
And that was simply one of many eye-opening moments in our dialog.

And sure… a number of very human tales that vary from deep reflection to moments that made us each snort.
Like each dialog within the Get to Know Your Vet collection, this wasn’t a lecture.
