126: In this short episode, I go on a much-needed rant about something that truly made my stomach turn: Milk-Bone has teamed up with Jif peanut butter to create a new dog treat—and it's just as bad as it sounds. I break down the disturbing ingredients in both products, from glyphosate-laced wheat and trans fats to sugar, molasses, and mystery meats. These kinds of humanized, ultra-processed treats are not only unnecessary—they’re harmful.
If you’ve ever wondered why I’m so passionate about reading labels and advocating for real, whole food for dogs, this episode will explain exactly why. One in two dogs will die of cancer—and it’s time we stop pretending these mainstream treats are “just fine.”
Topics Discussed:
- Are Milk-Bone dog treats safe for dogs to eat?
- What harmful ingredients are in Jif peanut butter for dogs?
- Why should dog owners avoid processed treats with sugar and trans fats?
- What are the risks of feeding dogs mainstream peanut butter brands?
- How do common dog treats contribute to inflammation and cancer in dogs?
