62. Endotoxins in Pet Food with Amy Renz

As responsible pet parents, we strive to provide our dogs with the best nutrition possible. However, many commercial dog foods, particularly kibble, can contain high levels of endotoxins. These toxic substances are produced by certain bacteria and can cause a range of health issues, including gastrointestinal distress, immune system dysfunction, and even systemic inflammation. In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, we’re joined by Amy Renz, advocate within the pet food industry and CEO of Goodness Gracious, who handcraft human grade pet food and treats in small batches. Amy joins us to discuss the presence of endotoxins in commercial pet food, the damage caused by these endotoxins, and how to protect your dog by asking questions and knowing exactly what is in their pet food.
