• Learn about the importance of a meat-heavy diet for dogs, who are facultative carnivores.
• Discover why dogs have no requirement for carbohydrates and how excessive carbs can lead to obesity and diabetes.
2. Decoding Dog Food Labels:
• Get tips on interpreting ingredient lists and understanding labeling rules like the 95% Rule, 25% Rule, and the 3% Rule.
• Identify misleading practices such as ingredient splitting and recognize high-quality ingredients.
3. The Truth About Commercial Dog Foods:
• Explore the benefits of fresh food over processed kibble and the impact of processing on essential nutrients.
• Learn about the risks associated with certain preservatives and artificial additives.
4. Symptoms of Poor Nutrition:
• Recognize signs of nutritional deficiencies in your dog, including weight issues, poor coat health, skin problems, and frequent infections.
5. Creating a Balanced Diet:
• Understand the different types of dog food available, from raw diets to kibble, and the importance of variety in your dog’s diet.
6. Practical Tips for Pet Owners:
• Gain insights on how to calculate carbohydrates in dog food and the significance of vitamins and minerals.
• Learn how to select the best food for your pet’s unique needs and ensure they thrive.
Special Review Session:
• Attendees are highly encouraged to bring their bag of dog food or a printout of the ingredients list. We will review your current dog food together, based on what we’ve learned in class.
This class is designed to equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your dog’s diet and overall health. Whether you’re a seasoned pet owner or new to the world of canine nutrition, you’ll leave with practical tips and valuable insights.
