Copper Toxicity and Nutrient Imbalances in Canine Meals
In our dialog, one of many matters we explored was copper in pet meals.
You already know I’ve been advocating for years to feed canines actual, recent 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.
Because of this, a number of the hottest pet meals available on the market have been discovered to comprise copper ranges six to seven hundred instances larger than what’s thought-about protected.
Over time, that extra copper can accumulate in your canine’s physique, putting stress on the liver lengthy earlier than apparent signs seem.
And that was simply one of many eye-opening moments in our dialog.

We additionally talked about:
Why staying silent can really feel safer for professionals, however talking uncomfortable truths is typically probably the most moral selection.
Why antibody titer testing typically make extra sense than routine annual vaccinations, despite the fact that they’re nonetheless misunderstood.
How introducing change gently is usually more practical than pushing folks into concern or panic.

How concern and worries about shedding our canines can steal pleasure from the time we nonetheless have with them.
And sure… just a few very human tales that vary from deep reflection to moments that made us each chuckle.
Like each dialog within the Get to Know Your Vet sequence, this wasn’t a lecture.
It was a candid, and private dialog between two likeminded mates – veterinarians.
We hope you’ll really feel like you might be sitting down for a cup of tea and good dialog within the kitchen.
