In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of canine nutrition, focusing on the role of carbohydrates in a dog's diet. Discover how our furry friends, as facultative carnivores, have evolved to adapt to a mixed diet, including carbs, unlike their wolf ancestors. I explore the genetic differences that enable dogs to digest starches and the impact of carbs on their health and behavior. Tune in to learn about the balance between meat and plant-based foods, and how to make informed choices for your dog's diet. #DogNutrition #DogsAndCarbs
