#21 The Surprising Connection Between Gut Health and Dog Behavior - Digging Deeper Episode

Do you know about the gut-brain axis?

In this week's Digging Deeper episode of The Dogs of Our Lives podcast, I explore the gut-brain axis and its impact on dog behavior.

This topic is a follow-up to my conversation with canine nutritionist, Dr Alexia Mellor.
In that episode (number 20) we discussed so much, but gut health came up a lot which is why I wanted to dig a little deeper into the connection between gut health and behavior.

I talk about five factors affecting gut health and behavior: pain, inflammation, malabsorption, microflora imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction.

As always, I am an advocate for a holistic approach where we need to consider diet, stress, and environmental factors.

Don't forget to leave us a review and comment for a chance to be featured in one of our episodes!
