The Diet Debacle: Raw Diets, Grain-Free Trends, and What the Science Says
A beautiful bag doesn't mean a healthy heart. Cut through the marketing guilt and feed your dog what the science actually says.
Cut through pet food marketing hype, raw pathogen risks, and grain-free DCM heart concerns. Rely on board-certified veterinary nutritionists and WSAVA science for safe bowls.
About this course
The pet food aisle has become a psychological minefield of buzzwords, dietary shaming, and billion-dollar marketing. This 12-chapter masterclass cuts through the noise — from the wolf ancestry myth and raw feeding pathogen risks to the grain-free DCM heart crisis, BEG diet dangers, and the WSAVA gold standard. You'll leave knowing exactly which brands are backed by board-certified veterinary nutritionists, why by-products are actually superfoods, and how to transition your dog safely to a science-backed diet.
