The Feeding Mistake Cutting Your Dog’s Life Short ⚖️🥩 Are you following the feeding guidelines on your dog food bag? You might be overfeeding them! 🤯 A massive 14-year study revealed that dogs fed 25% LESS lived almost TWO YEARS longer. The crazy part? The “control” group wasn’t even overweight—they looked perfectly normal. The food we give out of love might actually be harming them. You don’t need expensive supplements or fancy food; you just need to feed a little less to help them live longer, healthier lives. ❤️ 👇 Check your dog’s body condition! What does your dog look like right now? Save this as a reminder before their next meal! #DogNutrition #DogHealth #DogDiet #PetHealth #HealthyDog DogTips VeterinaryMedicine DogParentLife DogFood

I'm scared to post this but here goes... 😬🙏⁠ ⁠ Raw feeding is one of the most controversial topics in the pet industry, and as a vet, I get challenged on it every single day. People often think vets are just "anti-raw" because we want to push kibble for profit. But our stance has absolutely nothing to do with brand loyalty, and everything to do with risk analysis.⁠ ⁠ Watch the video to hear the science behind why you won't catch me recommending raw food. 👀🦠⁠ ⁠ Do you feed raw, cooked, or kibble - and why? Let’s chat (respectfully) in the comments! 👇⁠ ⁠ #VetAdvice #RawDogFood #JunoPets #DogNutrition #DogHealthTips

Is raw feeding better for dogs? Not always — it depends on balance, safety, and your individual dog. While raw diets can work well for some dogs, research shows modern dogs are adapted to digest a mixed diet, not just meat. Raw feeding can also carry risks like bacterial exposure and nutritional imbalances if not done properly. The real question isn’t raw vs kibble — it’s whether your dog’s diet is complete, balanced, and sustainable long-term. #DogNutrition #RawFeeding #DogHealth #DogDiet #DogOwners

If someone can spend roughly eight years in higher education studying animal health and still come out the other side deeply disconnected from what a dog is biologically meant to eat, that is not an accident, or a harmless oversight. It is the predictable outcome of a system built to protect industry instead of deepening biological understanding. Dogs are carnivorous scavengers. Their bodies are designed for real food… meat, organs, bone, moisture, variety. Not ultra-processed pellets made in factories, stripped by heat, then sprayed with synthetic replacements and sold as the gold standard of healthy. It is not just a “gap” in education or a “system failure.” It is a system functioning exactly as intended… keeping future professionals loyal to the products, paradigms, and profit streams that sustain the machine. Simple as that. When fresh food is treated as radical, and dead food in a bag is treated as science, that should tell you everything you need to know. The goal should have been a generation of veterinarians deeply rooted in ancestral nutrition but instead it was to create compliance with an industry model, and dogs have been paying for that arrangement with their health for decades. Wake up to it and learn how to do better. One of the best resources for vets and dog parents? @feedrealmovement Love your dogs. 🤍 #doghealth #doghealthtips #holisticdoghealth #holistic #doglover **Shared for education and empowerment - not intended as veterinary advice.

Vets are brilliant. But nutrition isn’t always their strongest subject. Here are 4 things most vets never tell their dog-owning clients, and what you need to know instead. Swipe through 👉 ✅ Why vet-recommended foods aren’t always the best nutritionally ✅ The „maintenance diet“ problem no one talks about ✅ How breed genetics change everything about what your dog needs ✅ What a truly personalised feeding plan actually looks like Not anti-vet. Pro-information. Good nutrition and your vet work together, not against each other. Save this and share with a dog owner who needs it. PawsePal is launching soon with breed-specific feeding plans built on science. Join the free waitlist - link in bio. #DogFood #VetAdvice #DogNutrition #PawsePal #mythbusting

Over 2 years ago I said this… and I still stand by it. How many times a day should you feed your dog? 🐾 Feeding ONCE a day may have major health benefits — and research from the University of Arizona backs that up. When I first shared this, the comments went OFF. I got a lot of stick for even suggesting it. But two years later? I haven’t changed my mind. Are we feeding out of habit… or out of evidence? 👀 #dognutrition #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogeducation

“My dog eats complete & balanced commercial food, does this mean complete nutrition?” I’ve gotten this question from many of you since my last post, so I’m going to quickly address it. Complete & balanced is a regulatory term. It means a food meets minimum nutrient levels a dog needs to survive. It says nothing about whether the nutrient profile is optimal or even if it’s right for your individual dog. Here are some things it doesn’t tell you: ‼️ Are nutrient levels optimal, or just the bare minimum? Nutrients interact. Too much copper blocks zinc absorption. A food can meet both minimums and still leave your dog deficient over time. Adequate and optimal are not the same thing. Not all forms of a nutrient are bioavailable. A food can contain adequate nutrients, but they might not be in a form that your dog can absorb. ‼️ What is the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio? AAFCO permits up to 30:1. Research shows 5:1 or lower is where anti-inflammatory benefits begin. Chronic low-grade inflammation is the root of many common diseases in dogs. Your dog’s food can be complete and balanced, and still be fuelling inflammation. ‼️ Is it right for your dog? Most commercial foods are formulated for the average adult active dog. What your dog needs depends on their age, life stage, activity level, and health status. Feed less to manage weight in a less active dog, and you quietly create nutrient gaps. ‼️ How were the ingredients processed? Kibble is extruded at extreme heat - destroying heat-sensitive vitamins, denaturing proteins, and forming compounds linked to chronic inflammation and disease. This also goes back to the bioavailability point. Minimal processing preserves nutrients far better. ‼️ Has it actually been tested? Many brands calculate nutrients on paper. Without lab testing the final product, actual levels can vary based on sourcing and other factors. Microbial safety testing is also not universally required or disclosed. Complete and balanced is a starting point, not a heath guarantee. Knowing what the label is missing and what questions to ask is what separates meeting bare minimums from feeding intentionally. #DogHealth #DogNutrition #DubaiDogs

Why do dogs react differently to raw diets? Raw feeding can work great for some dogs… but not all. Every dog has a unique digestive system and gut microbiome, which affects how they process food. Some dogs show improvements like better digestion and energy, while others may experience no change or even digestive issues. There’s no one-size-fits-all diet — the best food is what your dog can digest, absorb, and thrive on long-term. #DogNutrition #RawFeeding #DogHealth #DogDiet #DogOwners

If treats usually upset your dog’s stomach, simpler and cleaner ingredients can make a big difference. Symptoms that more often point toward meat protein intolerance ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1. ITCHING that doesn’t improve when switching grains or fillers If you remove grains or additives but the itching continues until the protein source changes. 2. EAR INFECTIONS that keep returning despite diet changes—until the protein changes. Chronic ear issues are very commonly linked to protein allergies in dogs. 3. SKIN FLARE-UPS shortly after eating a specific meat Some dogs react within hours to a day after eating certain proteins like chicken or beef. 4. PAW CHEWING combined with normal digestion When the main issue is skin and itching rather than stomach upset, it’s often tied to protein sensitivities. Unfortunately, my dog wouldn’t stop having diarrhea in the middle of the night 🙈🙈 🩷 Like & save this for later ➡️ Share with a dog parent who needs to hear this #dogeducation #dogwellness #dognutrition #healthydogtreats #dogtips A quick note: I’m not a vet and this isn’t medical advice.
