EP 85: Why “All Life Stages" Pet food and Feeding Trials are NOT ideal for any life stage with Dr. Karen Becker

What happens when two of the top holistic veterinarians in the country get together for a chat??? Pure magic! Listen in as Dr. Judy Morgan and Dr. Karen Becker discuss the challenges of pet food regulation, particularly the high costs and limited consumer representation at AAFCO meetings. They highlight the difficulties small manufacturers face, including the need for individual recipe registration in each state. They advocate for homemade pet food as a cost-effective and high-quality alternative. They also discuss the importance of proper nutrition, including the need for DHA and EPA, and the issues with all-life-stages feeding. Additionally, they share their experiences with homesteading and raising their own food, emphasizing the benefits of fresh, chemical-free ingredients for both pets and humans.
