Hey, Happy Wednesday!
I swear that 90% of my visits to the doctor have elicited one of three stock responses: “Drink less alcohol.” “Try to relax.” “Eat more
fiber.” I’m pretty sure I could go in with a limb dangling off and be told to do one of those.
Why am I mentioning this?
Good question. Well, in recent weeks we’ve gotten ‘granular’, as they say these days, with a couple of dog food nutrients: carbohydrates and fats. And today I want to do the same with fiber.
Well, not I — instead I’m going to steer you to an article our founder, Dr. Mike Sagman, wrote a few years back: The Benefits of Dog Food Fiber
So granular did he get
that it’s actually in two parts with the second part here.
It looks at how fiber,
while not essential in a dog’s diet, can, among other benefits, help prevent both constipation and diarrhea — and even help prevent cancer. You’ll also learn how to get extra fiber into your dog’s diet and where to draw
the line. That’s it from me today. I’m feeling a bit run down and lethargic. I could go and see the doctor, but we all know what he’d say…
