Greatest Hits: Longevity Tips for Animals Part I with Dr. Ruth Roberts

September 18, 2024Dr. Stephanie GrayPodcastNo Comments

Dr. Ruth Roberts joins me today for the first part of a two-part series on longevity in pets. In this episode, she talks about how our pet’s longevity can increase if we have them spayed or neutered later- or not at all. She also gets into the benefits of feeding pets a whole food diet high in vegetables and fiber and how to make that in a crockpot.

A balanced ratio of macronutrients for healthy pets:

1/3 protein
1/3 healthy fats
1/3 carbohydrates (both vegetables and other simple carbohydrates)
