How to Feed Your Dog for Health & Longevity | Ep181

Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast! Today, we’re going to talk about a topic that’s near and dear to my heart: dogs. Dogs are not only wonderful companions, but they also offer unconditional love and keep us active. But just like humans, dogs are facing a major health crisis. Obesity and disease are on the rise in our four-legged friends, and they’re developing these issues at younger and younger ages. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Just as certain lifestyle and food choices can prevent and reverse ailments in ourselves and our family members, we can do the same for our beloved pets.

Welcome to Forever Dog

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Karen Shaw Becker and Rodney Habib, the authors of the new book Forever Dog: Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Longer, Healthier, and Younger. We discuss the motivation behind writing the book and the simple changes you can make in your dog’s life to help them thrive and live a healthy, long life.

Understanding Canine Longevity

We start by exploring the historical lifespan of dogs compared to dogs today. While we have some clues about how dogs lived in ancient times, it’s clear that dogs today face different challenges that impact their health and lifespan. The authors discuss the importance of diversity in a dog’s gut microbiome and the role of nutrition in promoting a healthy gut.

The Role of Food

One of the key topics we cover is the role of food in a dog’s health. We discuss the issues with commercial dog food and the benefits of incorporating fresh, whole foods into a dog’s diet. The authors provide practical tips for introducing fresh foods, even for those on a budget.

The Power of Intermittent Fasting

We also touch on the concept of intermittent fasting for dogs, something that is often overlooked but can have significant health benefits. The authors explain how dogs are evolutionarily adapted for fasting and the metabolic magic that happens during periods of fasting.

Choosing the Right Treats

Finally, we discuss the importance of choosing the right treats for your dog. Many commercial dog treats are filled with additives, dyes, and fillers that do nothing for your dog’s health. Instead, the authors recommend using fresh, real foods as treats to give your dog the nutrition they need.

Conclusion

The information shared in this episode and in the book Forever Dog is essential for all dog owners who want to give their pets the best chance at a long, healthy life. By making simple changes to their dogs’ diet and lifestyle, owners can help their furry friends thrive and live younger for longer. So, give your dog the gift of health and longevity by making informed choices about their nutrition and care.
