Hello Dog Lovers! I have so been looking forward to this interview! With us is Dr. Sue Armstrong, who is an integrative veterinary surgeon working in her referral practice in Yorkshire, England. She is the founder of The True Animal Plan, an online education program for animal owners and author of two books: Cancer in Animals: What is to be Cured and The Little Book of Thinking Dog

There are people, especially those hard-core raw feeders who think feeding vegetable matter is not necessary. Why do you think it’s so important to feed our dogs vegetables?

What benefits do dogs get from plant fiber?

If a dog eats grass do you believe that they are looking for certain nutrients found only in plant matter?

Can you run through the simple hierarchy of vegetables to feed and what to avoid?

You say to think rainbow?

Is it best to use whatever vegetables are in season?

Ideally how much of the diet should be vegetables?

Some people might think that they have to feed veggies everyday? I think you said before to think in two-week chunks of time. Can you elaborate?

You say that we should focus on the quality and not the quantity of the food that we are feeding. Can you explain?

Can you explain why dogs can’t digest the starches in whole veggies? Like if I gave my dog a raw carrot or green bean and it comes out whole on the other end…

Raw or cooked? What’s the best way to prepare veggies for your dog?

Thoughts on Fermented vegetables?

Do we need to be feeding organic only or are there some veggies that don’t have to be organic?

Do you want to mention anything about feeding fruits?

What are your thoughts on the green supplement powders on the market?

Dr. Armstrong, where can everyone find out more information about you and The True Animal Plan?

Wag Out Loud

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast started as a passion project that would help all of us to be the BEST advocates for our dogs’ health and wellness. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, the WOL pawdcast is hitting a nerve with dog lovers all over the world. Why is it that over 50% of our dogs are getting cancer? I believe it is because of the extreme toxic load that are dogs are taking on from not only their poor diets, but from their environment as well. We can do so much better for our dogs, but first we need to be educated on how to make the right choices for our dogs, to help them lead longer and healthier lives.Our short and succinct episodes (about 30 mins each) feature experts in the fields of canine health, nutrition, and wellness as well as recommendations about products and services that I've used, know, like and trust and have found to enhance the lives of dogs. My name is Krista and I am the host of the WOL pawdcast. After receiving my certification in canine nutrition and noticing that most dogs are getting sicker and living shorter lives, I have become obsessed with bringing experts and dog enthusiasts together in committed community. Together we can learn about the most updated science, treatments, protocols and products that will benefit both the mental and physical health of our pups. I continue to learn something every single day.This show mostly features topics and opinions from those in the holistic and integrative veterinary health industry. We address things like dental health, over vaccination, nutrition, benefits of feeding raw, gut health and the immune system, common canine diseases, aging issues, behavioral issues, cognition and so much more. You love your dog, right? And you want to provide them with the best life possible. Let’s learn together. No matter where you live, your financial status, how many dogs you have, if they are a pure breed or mixed, we have something for every dog parent on the planet. Dogs are such amazing creatures and are a part of our families. As research continues, we are learning more and more about how they enhance our lives. It’s time to give back all of the unconditional love that our dogs show us. They are here to teach us so many things…we just need to know how to listen.Nothing and I mean nothing, in the dog industry is regulated. That includes food, treats, supplements or the manufacturing of dog products. It really is like the wild, wild west and we have to do our own research on products, ingredients and materials. We can’t be fooled by false marketing claims.This is the only podcast that focuses on practical, actionable tips and strategies to help your dog to thrive. Tune in for the latest research, science-based information, natural alternatives and inspiration for ensuring you are making well-informed decisions, when it comes to your dog’s health and happiness. Just think of Wag Out Loud as the ultimate resource for the dog lover who is on a quest to provide the best care for his/her canine companion(s). I am the guide that helps you to navigate the landscape of conflicting and confusing information in the ever-growing pet health space. Listen in to all of the Wag Out Loud pawdcast episodes and be sure to tell your dog-loving friends about the Show. Your dog will thank you!
