About this episode
This episode we discuss everything dog nutrition! Dr. Jill Cline of Royal Canin and Eukanuba joins me to cover this topic in a very down to earth and relatable fashion!
"Dogs with jobs"

Body weight is still the best gauge for caloric needs
"Anticipation" calorie burn
Adding canned food can add more calories if more than 125% of the daily intake and theres not another formula available
Floating vs Dry (Floating needs to be 3x the water to food ratio)
Getting enough hydration
