The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience EP190: How Dogs Benefit from a Ketogenic Diet with Paul and Patrick of Visionary Pet
Most dog food is kibble comprised of a high percentage of corn, wheat, or soybeans. And, while it may satiate your dog until their next meal the ingredients lack the optimum amount of fat and protein dogs need to stay healthy and live a long, happy life. There are other low-carb food options available but how do you know which foods are created to drive profit for manufacturers versus food that is created with the health of your pup in mind? Drew welcomes the CEO and Marketing Director of Visionary Pet, an online raw, nutritious, ketogenic dog food creator to discuss the health benefits of placing your dog on a ketogenic protocol. The company was founded to support the KetoPet Sanctuary, a treatment center for shelter dogs with cancer.
This episode explores the success rate of treating cancer in dogs with a keto diet, why the founders created the project and the benefits you can expect when transitioning your dog to raw, ketogenic food.
