99. HELP! My Dog Needs A Prescription Diet with Dr. Chris Bessent
When I was a new pet mom, I did everything my vet told me to do . . . including feeding the pricey bags of food sold in her office. I had 6 cats and they all were on different foods, even some "prescription" foods for weight management.
Fast forward and I now know that there is no "medicine" in those foods AND they have no requirements for additional feeding trials to prove effectiveness.
That said, there are some conditions that require altered nutrient profiles of food.
That's why I'm so glad there are Medicus Veterinary Diets.
Dr. Chris Bessent is the formulator of these real freeze-dried food diets. She is also the formulator and creator of Herbsmith and The Simple Food Project.
In today's episode, we'll do a deep dive into all of these projects, so you can be more informed to make better decisions for the care of your pets!
