Episode Details

Have you ever looked at a shelf full of dog supplements and wondered which ones actually work?

With so many powders, capsules, oils, and tinctures on the market, it's easy to assume that adding more means giving your dog better support. But what if the real question isn't which supplement to buy, but whether your dog's body can actually use it? Em sits down with canine wellness expert Angela Ardolino to talk about bioavailability, ingredient quality, and why two products that look almost identical on the label can have very different effects.

You'll hear:

1. How to evaluate a supplement beyond the marketing and understand what actually makes one product different from another
2. Why ingredient quality, bioavailability, and the ingredients hiding in the "inactive" list matter as much as the active ingredient itself
3. Why simplifying your dog's nutrition may do more than constantly adding something new

Press play if you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice about dog nutrition and wondered whether what you're already giving your dog is actually helping.
