Summary

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question. Listener's Question "Hi Sarah and Stacy! I started listening to the podcast several years ago while I was living in New York City. Every evening after work I would get on the train, put in my headphones, and listen to an episode. I guess I am one of the listeners you are always apologizing to for the early episodes. I have to say I have truly enjoyed them all and have learned so much valuable information. Thank you for all your hard work to both educate and entertain your listeners, I feel like we are friends at this point and I still look forward to a new episode every week. The Paleo View is my favorite podcast hands down! As a person eating a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet myself, I am wondering how to feed my dog in the same way. My husband and I recently added a Bernedoodle puppy to our family and he is the most adorable and mischievous little guy. There is so much conflicting information out there about what diet is best for dogs - they need grains, they don’t need grains, raw is best, raw is dangerous. Most dog food is so highly processed and contains ingredients that to me seem highly inflammatory and nutrient-poor. The organic and grain-free foods look good on paper, but then I read about concerns with grain-free diets and heart problems in dogs. I like the idea of a raw diet, but that also requires a lot more work on my part to source and prepare his food which just isn’t practical for my life right now. I would love to know the science on this topic so I can feel confident in what we are feeding our dog so that he can continue to be a healthy and happy pup! Please help!"

thinking today when I was getting ready. I was like, wow, it's been a month since we've
