The Truth About Doodle Nutrition: Vet-Approved Tips for a Healthier Pup with Dr. Em
In this must-listen episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Em from Vet Med Corner, who shares science-based, expert-backed advice on keeping your Doodle healthy, fit, and thriving.
We dive into some of the biggest questions Doodle parents have about nutrition, including:
✅ How to assess prescription dog food—is it really better?
✅ The best ways to maintain a healthy weight for your Doodle
✅ What makes "human-grade" dog food different (or does it?)
✅ How to handle finicky eaters and encourage better nutrition
✅ Whether meal toppers are a smart choice—or just marketing hype
✅ How to calculate the perfect portion size for your Doodle
🐾 Plus, Dr. Em breaks down WSAVA.org’s pet nutrition guidelines and where to find truly reliable advice!
With practical, long-term solutions for even the pickiest pups, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you nourish your Doodle for a lifetime of health and happiness.
🎧 Grab your pup, pop in your headphones, and tune in for expert guidance that cuts through the confusion!
🔥 QUOTABLE MOMENTS:
📢 "The majority of experts will agree on the majority of things. If you find a lone voice going against the majority, the likelihood of them being correct is incredibly low." — Dr. Em
📢 “The ingredient list really has very little correlation to the quality of pet food. What really matters is the bioavailability and your pet’s ability to absorb those nutrients.” — Dr. Em
📢 "We practice positive reinforcement and force-free training. I’m not hearing ‘don’t use food in training,’ but rather, use that kibble purposefully throughout the day." — Corinne Gearhart
