Expert dog trainer and pet food nutritionist, Lara Shannon, catches up with fellow nutritionist and naturopath, Narelle Cooke, in today's episode which discusses the role of carbohydrates in a dog's diet. Lara explains that until she began her studies into pet food nutrition when writing "Eat, Play, Love (Your Dog)" she did not realise how much sugar is in our pet’s diet. Using their expert knowledge in regard to pet food nutrition, Lara and Narelle explain that there is a huge difference in the types of carbohydrates that our dogs are eating and how this influences their blood sugar levels. They discuss what they call "the good, the bad and the ugly" when it comes to carbs in dog food. Viewers will learn which carbohydrates are necessary in a dog's diet and which ones are not needed and can actually be harmful. The wrong type of carbohydrates in a dog's food can cause issues like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, for example. Excessive sugar consumption can also increase the incidence of cancer and contribute to allergies and yeast infections in dogs.
