Are You Unknowingly Feeding Your Pet Carcinogens?

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• Today I’m talking with Dr. Robert Turesky, a research scientist who tested for and discovered cooked meat carcinogens in his dogs’ fur, and went on to publish his findings in a scientific journal
• Dr. Turesky’s dogs were on a poultry-based kibble diet, and he concluded that both dry and poultry-based pet foods are a problem — especially since many pets are eating this type of diet twice a day, every day of their lives
• This week I’m raising funds for an organization I co-founded called CANWI — the Companion Animal Nutrition and Wellness Institute
• The money we raise will be used to fund urgently needed, unbiased pet nutrition research on how processed versus fresh food affects the health and longevity of animal companions
• CANWI will receive no funding from big donors, the government or the pet food industry — all funding must come from pet parents
