The Pet Doctor - Episode 296 How What and Who We Feed Our Pets Affects Them, Us and Our Planet

Daily news reports warn us of the impact that our carbon foot print is having on our planet. We are told to change how we live and what we drive. But could our pets themselves -what and who we feed them contribute to their detrimental environmental pawprint? We pamper our dogs and cats like children and are told by pet food companies that we need to feed them like wolves and bobcats. But is this the best diet for them? Could these ancestral diets be contributing to the rise in obesity in our pets and climate destruction? What can we do for our pets that is easy, safe and nutritious and possibly reverse climate change? My guest is Dr. Ernie Ward, an internationally recognized veterinarian, author and lecturer from North Carolina with expertise in senior pets, pain management, nutrition and founder of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. He will soon be releasing a book that is sure to be paradigm shifting for all pet parents who are concerned with providing the best possible care for their furry family members and the veterinarians who care for them.EPISODE NOTES: How What and Who We Feed Our Pets Affects Them, Us and Our PlanetBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pet-doctor-keeping-your-pets-healthy-pet-wellness-pet-life-radio-original--6669420/support.
