In this episode of The Pet Nutrition Show, Amanda and Dr. Anna Sutton have a fascinating discussion on pet nutrition, with special guest Daniel Schulof. Daniel is an ex-lawyer, the author of the book "Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma, and the founder of American company, KetoNatural Pet Foods, which made the news recently by bringing a $2.6billion dollar class action against Hills, along with 2 affiliated companies and 5 research groups.

We dive deep into the health impacts of dietary carbs, and the health benefits of low carbs. We also delve into the technical challenges of producing low carb kibble and touch on the upcoming class action lawsuit against Hills Pet Nutrition and the debate over diet and canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We'll devote a whole episode to that next week.

Anna talks about feeding dogs raw vegetables, highlighting which are safe and which should be avoided. She wraps up with a home food hack for using leftover fruit peels as a healthy snack for both pets and their owners.
