DogLogical: Making Sense of Your Dog's Behavior

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Conor Brady, an animal nutritionist and the founder of Dogs First Ireland. I have been following Conor for the last few years after watching a presentation he gave on the role of nutrition in behavior. During the presentation, he confirmed what I had already researched and my suspicions about the relation of diet to behavior - so, of course, I wanted to know more! Conor's commitment (and no-nonsense approach) to busting myths about dog nutrition makes the topic far more digestible (pun intended)! Conor is someone that I trust not only to guide my clients through their own diet issues but also the person I trust with my own dog's health. I hope this episode brings more clarity to your search in diet options for your dog.

NOTE: No one should feel shame about what they feed their dog. This episode's advice does not replace speaking to a nutritionist directly about your dog's diet. If you would like to consult Conor, he supplies free resources and very reasonably priced webinars and consultations on his website: https://dogsfirst.ie/ He also has published a book called Feeding Dogs that you can purchase HERE
