Episode Description from the Publisher

Royal Canin has recently entered the gently cooked space with its new Fresh Health Nutrition line for puppies, adults, and senior dogs.In this episode, I break down what I think this shift means for veterinary nutrition, what I like about the move toward less processed food, and where I still have questions.We discuss:Why I see a major veterinary brand embracing gently cooked food as a positive shiftWhy having separate Puppy, Adult, and Senior formulas mattersWhy brown rice being the first ingredient in the Adult and Senior formulas caught my attentionWhy “fresh” does not automatically mean low carbohydrateWhy I want more transparencyWhy the source of “fish oil” mattersMy biggest takeaway?Royal Canin moving into gently cooked food is progress—and I think we should welcome that progress while continuing to ask thoughtful questions.Fresh is a processing description. It isn't automatically a nutritional assessment.Always work with your veterinarian or veterinary nutrition professional to determine the most appropriate diet for your individual pet.Links:Book your 1:1 nutrition consultation todayBook your 1:1 holistic in home visit todayWatch this episode on YouTube
