As a devoted dog mom, I’ve always tried to give my pup the best—premium food, regular vet checkups, and all the love in the world. But until I read The Canine Gut: Built to Heal, I had no idea how gut health is truly the foundation of my dog’s overall well-being.
This book opened my eyes to the science behind nutrition, gut bacteria, and how certain foods can actually turn on health-boosting genes while shutting off those linked to disease. I was shocked to learn about the hidden dangers of kibble, from high-heat processing to artificial additives, and how these common foods can silently harm our dogs over time.
What I love most about this book is that it’s not just science—it’s a practical, easy-to-follow guide. The author breaks down complex topics like nutrigenomics, epigenetics, and microbiome health into something that any dog parent can understand and apply. It’s packed with real, actionable solutions like which functional foods, probiotics, and supplements can help improve gut health, prevent chronic illness, and even extend our dogs’ lifespans.
Since making the changes recommended in The Canine Gut, I’ve noticed a huge difference in my dog’s energy levels, digestion, and even her coat—she’s thriving like never before!
If you love your dog and want to do more than just “feed” them—but actually nourish them for a longer, healthier life—this book is an absolute must-read. I only wish I had found it sooner! 🐶💙✨
