    64 - Decoding Fats: The Key to Canine Longevity

    64 - Decoding Fats: The Key to Canine Longevity

    In this episode, we explore how different types of fats profoundly influence the health and lifespan of our pets. Moving beyond the common discourse of low-fat versus high-fat diets, we emphasize the critical role specific fat types play in nurturing gut health and extending longevity.
    Referencing research from "The Canine Cocomega Effect," we shed light on how diverse fats shape the microbiome and overall lifespan of our furry companions. Throughout the discussion, we analyze the roles of various fats, such as seed oils, animal fats, and coconut oil, supported by robust scientific evidence. Additionally, we highlight the importance of maintaining the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio to manage allergies and reduce inflammation, crucial for optimal pet health.
    Furthermore, we address the pressing issue of fat oxidation during pet food manufacturing, exploring strategies to preserve the nutritional integrity of our pets' diets.
    In conclusion, we recognize fats as integral components in our pets' overall well-being, not just dietary elements. Armed with a deeper understanding of fats and their effects, we empower ourselves to make informed choices that enhance the longevity and vitality of our pets.

    63 - Past, Present, and Future

    In today's episode, we're diving into our journey—past, present, and future—with Cydnee, a key player behind Toni Unleashed, joining us to share her insights. It all started when COVID pushed us into making remote videos that we realized our potential beyond, so we launched this podcast. From recording in a simple storage unit to learning the ropes with Buzzy's guidance, we've grown while having a blast with guests and plenty of wine. 
     
    Emily has recently moved on to Raw Dynamic but remains connected to Healthy Pet Products and Toni Unleashed through Toni's mentorship. As she thrives in her new role, we're excited for what's ahead, including Emily's deeper involvement with Raw Dynamic for potential episodes in the future. 
     
    Join us as we reflect, live in the moment, and eagerly anticipate the future—because we want you, our amazing listeners, to be part of this journey with us!
