This podcast features independent consultant Dr Dottie Laflamme, a world-class expert in nutrition. In this session, Dr Laflamme will explore a broad view of nutrition in heart health, thinking beyond the current dietary guidelines provided by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) for managing canine myxomatous mitral valve disease. While the ACVIM guidelines focus on sodium, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein and caloric content, Dr Laflamme will explain how recent research has highlighted the importance of additional nutrients in cardiac health and disease. Key nutrients to be discussed include taurine, carnitine, antioxidants and magnesium, as well as alternative energy sources that can be easily utilised by hearts with cardiac insufficiency. Dr Laflamme will translate these insights into practical recommendations for vets managing cardiac conditions. ______________ Dr Laflamme received her DVM, MS in ruminant nutrition, and PhD in nutrition and physiology, all from the University of Georgia. She completed her clinical nutrition residency as an ALPO postdoctoral fellow in clinical nutrition. Dr Laflamme is a diplomate and past-president of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition. She is an author on more than 200 scientific and technical publications; and has been a speaker at a number of veterinary, research, and continuing education programmes worldwide.

Have you ever heard that kibble causes cancer? Or that certain foods can treat cancer?    Dr. Jennifer Larsen is back for part II of this series to help us separate fact from fiction as far as nutrition and cancer are concerned.    Dr. Larsen is a Board-Certified Veterinary Clinical Nutritionist at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.   Last week we covered general nutrition, and this week we’re covering diets for cancer patients, supplements, as well as pre and probiotics.    This is Part II of a two-part nutrition series, so if you haven't listened to last week's episode, I would love for you to do that after you finish this one.   As you probably know, the internet is quick to tell us that kibble causes cancer and that many canine diets can prevent cancer or help in cancer treatment. So the question is...is this true? That’s what we’re going to answer today.   If you’ve been confused about what is and is not safe to feed your dog, be sure to tune in!    Show notes available at www.caninecanceracademy.com/podcast-ep-15 Don’t forget to say hello on Instagram @thecaninecaneracademy and on Facebook Canine Cancer Academy 

If there's one question that most dog owners struggle with, it's “what should I feed my dog?” or “what is the best food out there?”   Well, to help sift through the mayhem and bring us the facts is Dr. Jennifer Larsen. She can tell us what the science says vs. what we might think, or what a food company might want us to believe.    Dr. Larsen is a Board-Certified Veterinary Clinical Nutritionist at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.   Luckily for us, she's going to be here for two episodes! In this episode we'll cover general nutrition, and next week we'll cover cancer supplements and pre/probiotics. Be sure to come back here next week to catch Part II.    I know you love your dog and want to feed your dog the best type of food, so we're going to clear up some misconceptions and find out a lot of really helpful information from Dr. Larsen today.   Show notes available at www.caninecanceracademy.com/podcast-ep-14 Don’t forget to say hello on Instagram @thecaninecaneracademy and on Facebook Canine Cancer Academy

We have Dr. Adronie Verbrugghe on the podcast and this is the first time that we are hosting a nutritional expert. Adronie works at the University of Guelph Ontario Veterinary College and she is a diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Nutrition. She loves feline obesity, and this was part of her Ph.D. Obesity is a big problem in cats (up to 60% in cats). Tips for obese cats is to make them work for their food. Make sure that there is a lot of environmental enrichment. If cats are bored, they eat more. When we talk about treating disease, we need to look at diet as a drug and an essential part of their therapy. There are lots of nutrition tools available at wsava.org. Adronie thinks we need to do a body condition score and a muscle condition score in every patient, and she has a cool hand trick to estimate if a patient is too thin or too fat.

Man and woman's new best friend is the cat. There are over 82 million kitties purring their way into our homes and hearts. Sadly, our feline house guests receive less medical care and less research dollars. This shortcoming, along with their ability to hide their signs of illness often condemns them to shorter, less healthy lives. The Morris Animal Foundation and the Happy Healthy Cat Campaign aim to keep our cats ‘purr-fectly' healthy. Listen and learn ways in which you can spot potential health issues and keep the kitten in your cat. My guest today is Dr. Joe Bartges. He is board certified in the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine along with board certification by the College of Veterinary Nutrition.
