In this episode of The Pet Nutrition Show, Amanda and Dr. Anna Sutton have a fascinating discussion on pet nutrition, with special guest Daniel Schulof. Daniel is an ex-lawyer, the author of the book "Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma, and the founder of American company, KetoNatural Pet Foods, which made the news recently by bringing a $2.6billion dollar class action against Hills, along with 2 affiliated companies and 5 research groups.

We dive deep into the health impacts of dietary carbs, and the health benefits of low carbs. We also delve into the technical challenges of producing low carb kibble and touch on the upcoming class action lawsuit against Hills Pet Nutrition and the debate over diet and canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We'll devote a whole episode to that next week.

Anna talks about feeding dogs raw vegetables, highlighting which are safe and which should be avoided. She wraps up with a home food hack for using leftover fruit peels as a healthy snack for both pets and their owners.

In this episode of the Pet Nutrition Show, hosts Amanda and Dr. Anna Sutton explore the evolving pet food industry in Egypt.

Guest Ashraf El Sharkawy, co-founder of Proteina, explains the culture of pet parenting in Egypt and the growth of their company from feather waste for feed meals to insect protein for pet food. He also explains local food waste challenges, and the dominance of imported pet food - something they're trying to change. Ashraf also shares the outstanding palatability results they've been achieving.

In Q&A, Dr Anna talks about distinguishing between food-derived tryptophan and supplements for aiding with pet anxiety. They finish up with a food hack for making pet-friendly falafel for dogs!

This episode of The Pet Nutrition Show is a bit different. It involves an inheritance, a legacy, an interpreter, students from orphan backgrounds in Vietnam and pet food.

We interview co-founders of Googaga, a pet food company in Vietnam that makes cat pate, supports cat rescues around the country, and came into being after a series of English language lessons.

Dr Anna also doubles down on eggshells: should they be used as a 'supplement' and using them in a delicious recipe for Dr Anna's Vegemite Eggshell Biscuits. (yes, you read that correctly.)

(We also apologise in advance for audio quality that's not quite as good as normal.)
