In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, board-certified veterinary nutritionist Dr. Valerie Parker joins Dr. Josie for an in-depth conversation about what to feed your pets. They tackle the hot topics – grain free diets, prescription diets, and the biggest mistakes pet parents are making on the pet food aisle. They also discuss whether a homemade/raw diet is better than traditional kibble – you may be surprised at the answer! Dr. Josie debunks the myth that veterinarians get kickbacks to sell you specific food brands. In the intro to the interview, Dr. Josie shares her "Case of the Week" – a man who brought his dog in for having ‘cancerous bumps’ all over its belly which turned out to be something ENTIRELY different. After the interview, Dr. Josie and Shannon wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including NOT getting your dog’s anal glands expressed unless they truly need it!
