Summary
In this episode, we go beyond dog food labels to explore what happens after your dog eats. We break down how nutrients are digested, absorbed, and used by the body, and why nutrition is about more than what’s in the bowl—it’s about what the body can actually access. We discuss the role of the gut, enzymes, and microbiome, highlight common nutrient deficiencies in dogs, and explain how stress and poor digestion can interfere with absorption. This episode helps guardians understand how nutrition supports physical health, nervous system regulation, and a dog’s ability to cope and heal. dogspeak101.com dogspeakgeek.thinkific.com Dr. Neely North Handy Guide to Dog Blood Tests
