How did food become “dog food”? What did dogs eat before kibble? And what is kibble anyway? Dr. Patton, expert bio scientist, shares with us the history of dog food and the decades-long pull between economy, convenience, and health. Commercialization changed dog food forever and our pet’s nutrition suffers for it. Nutrition may never seem like a crisis but it can lead to critical conditions down the line. Join us as Dr. Patton debunks myths around raw diets, gives practical tips, and lays out the better way to feed your pets.  Finding Dr. Patton: Read Ruined By Excess Perfected By Lack Donate to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation Join our facebook page @thespawdcast  *If you would like to have a consultation with our host Carrie Hyde you can book your appointment by visiting https://www.ahhthespaw.com/scheduleconsult/ Proceeds go towards helping The Spawdcast podcast stay in production! *If you know someone who is looking for more information and alternative answers for their pets health be sure to SHARE this podcast with them or leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts to help boost our visibility on the app to help more pet parents hear the show!!
