Show 18: Beating Cancer With Healthy Dog Food Recipes, with Ryan AlaridToday’s GuestRYAN ALARID - Advocate for healthy food for dogs, and author of Real Food for Dogs

My guest today is Ryan Alarid, who sadly, like many of us, lost his beloved family dog, Rosie, to cancer. Rosie was struck with frequent seizures that broke his family’s hearts. Her once happy and relaxed loving eyes showed pain, embarrassment and confusion as she deteriorated to the point of losing control of her bladder and falling down frequently.

Within 2 years of her diagnosis, after trying various remedies and medications with limited success, it was time to let Rosie go. 

Ryan and his family were devastated, but he was also MAD! Why did this happen? What could he have done to prevent it? 

This tragedy set Ryan on the path to finding the cause of Rosie’s—and many other dogs’— cancers. Today he shares with us what he learned, and how to potentially almost double your dog’s lifespan, and quality of life.
