#63 What Italy Remind Me About Our Pet's Health

I recently returned from a trip to Italy, and one of the things I couldn’t stop noticing had nothing to do with the architecture, the shopping, or even the food.It was the dogs.The pets I saw seemed happy, relaxed, connected to their people, and almost every dog I noticed was at an ideal body condition.It got me thinking about something I talk about often in veterinary medicine: our pets don’t experience health in a vacuum. They live inside our lifestyle, our routines, our homes, and our environment.In this episode, I’m sharing some of the things I observed in Italy and how they made me think differently about the way our own culture can influence the health of our pets.This isn’t about saying one country or culture has everything figured out.It’s about asking a bigger question:What if some of the chronic issues we see in our pets are influenced not only by their genetics or their diet , but by the environment and lifestyle we’ve created around them?Because when we talk about longevity, weight, inflammation, digestion, behavior, and overall wellness, we have to look at the whole picture.Our pets are living our lifestyle right alongside us.And sometimes, changing their health starts with changing the environment around them.Book your 1:1 nutrition consultation todayBook your 1:1 holistic in home visit todayWatch this episode on YouTube
