We will teach you:

• myths about canine and human food;
  
• basic digestive anatomy – what dogs can, can not and can partially digest;
  
• common digestive issues related to poor nutrition (allergies, gastric distension, irritable bowel), diseases, and the relationship between the two;
  
• ingredients 101 – the good, the bad and the ugly – what’s in YOUR dog food?, ingredients to look for, ingredients to avoid;
  
• how to read labels;
  
• how to choose the best food for your companion animal;
  
• prevention is key;
