David, your story is a true eye-opener. Thank you for sharing your valuable experiences and expert opinions. As a fellow pet owner, it resonated deeply with me. When I saw the ingredients in the formula you pictured, I was astonished—why would they include carrots, rice, rice starch, dextrose, green peas, flaxseed, and even sugar in a dog's diet? Health professionals should be aware that dogs are facultative carnivores. While healthy dogs can handle some plant-based ingredients, chronically ill dogs may struggle with them. In my experience, the best food for my dogs was beef or lamb bones. I used to leave a few in our garden when we were at work, and they would chew on them all day, even burying some for later. Your Australian Labradoodle is adorable. I used to have a German Shepherd and Dingo mix and a Kelpie, who were inseparable until a tragic accident. I have a deep affinity for dogs—my channeller even claimed I was a dog in a past life.😊 I wrote a story about it a few years ago. https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/apparently-i-was-a-dog-in-a-previous-life-2b114101add7
Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for shedding light on this important topic as a health professional and caring pet owner.
