Your Dog’s Food Might Be Causing Behavior Problems (And You Don’t Realize It)
Description
Do you ever feel like you’re trying so hard to do the right thing for your dog… but the food choices still feel impossible?
We’re told to trust the labels. Trust the brands. Trust the system. But when more than half of dogs are overweight or struggling with preventable health issues, it’s worth asking — what if the problem starts in the bowl?
In this conversation, Em and canine nutrition researcher Daniel Schulof talk about carbs, protein, obesity, and why dog food marketing often hides what really matters. You’ll walk away with simple, practical ways to choose food that actually supports your dog’s health and energy.
Press play for clarity, not guilt — just information that helps you care for the dog in front of you.
