#273 Why Your Dog's Lifespan Dropped from 17 to 10 Years, & How Food Fixes It | Dr. Judy Morgan

Why does the average dog now live 7 fewer years than one did in the 1970s? Holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan says the answer is sitting in the food bowl, and it's fixable.

With 36 years in practice and a base in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, Dr. Judy Morgan explains how food became the foundation of her work, why dry kibble fails dogs and cats, and the simple whole foods that add years of healthy life. This is a rare episode on how pet health and human health mirror each other.

Key takeaways

Dry kibble is capped near 30% meat and can be 50 to 60% carbohydrates, which pets do not require.
