Have you heard of Copper Storage Disease?

Hey,

Happy Wednesday!

Just a short email today because I'm (technically) on vacation — but an important one.

About a year ago, we produced an article on Copper Storage Disease (CSD) because a lot of you wrote to us asking about this horrible condition.

It proved to be one of our most popular articles ever, so I thought it was time to revive it.

Written by our in-house nutritionist, Laura Ward, it outlines what the disease is, what causes it, and what can be, and is being, done about it.

You can read it here: What is Copper Storage Disease in Dogs?

Laura explains that CSD could occur in even the most-loved dogs, who are being fed good dog food, so please take a look.

This is the power of the DFA community. You write to us, we listen and, when appropriate, we try to create something useful and educational for every dog parent.

Until next time,

What exactly is human-grade dog food?

There's a lot of tempting phrases you'll see on dog food labels. Some of these are purely marketing terms designed to appeal to pet parents, while others are useful and actually tell you something about the food.

Or they can be both appealing and useful. One of these is “human-grade”.

But what does “human-grade” mean when it comes to dog food? We put questions to Brandon Stapleton, a DVM and head veterinarian for 5-star-rated The Farmer's Dog. They included:

What’s the definition of human-grade dog food?
Is human-grade food better for dogs?
Is there a difference between human-grade and organic dog food?
Can people eat non-human-grade dog food?
