Synthetics Versus Whole Foods | NHP Podcast Ep 73 | Dr. Judy Morgan & Billy Hoekman

Dr. Judy Morgan and Billy Hoekman , VP of Nutrition and Communication at Green Juju, discuss the benefits of whole food nutrition over synthetic vitamins and minerals in pet food. They emphasize the importance of natural sources like copper and iodine, noting that synthetic forms can lead to health issues. They highlight the significance of proper fat ratios, advocating for animal fats and a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. They also stress the value of diet diversity, including seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, to enhance pet health. Billy shares his approach to feeding his dog, incorporating Green Juju's food with home-prepared meals and supplements, and the importance of considering individual pet needs.
