How to Raise a Healthy, Happy Dog That Lives to 20 — What Your Vet Won’t Tell You
In this week’s Aging Games Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Thompson, a holistic veterinarian with decades of experience helping pets live longer, healthier lives — and what he shared completely reframes what we think we know about pet care.
Most of us want to do what’s best for our dogs. We buy the “premium” kibble, schedule all the vet checkups, and trust the advice we’re given. But what if some of that conventional wisdom is actually making our pets sicker?
Dr. Thompson explains how modern pet food — even the so-called “healthy” brands — is often loaded with fillers, preservatives, and synthetic vitamins that dogs were never meant to eat. He compares it to feeding your child fast food every day and expecting them to thrive.
Instead, he breaks down the science and simplicity behind raw feeding — giving your dog the kind of fresh, species-appropriate food their bodies are built for. From balancing raw meat and organs to understanding what a healthy stool really looks like, Dr. Thompson shares practical tips that any pet owner can start applying today.
We also talk about:
🐾 The hidden reason so many dogs are overweight (and it’s not just too many treats)
🥩 How to safely transition your dog from kibble to raw food
💩 What your dog’s stool can tell you about their health
🧬 Natural ways to strengthen immunity, prevent disease, and extend your dog’s lifespan
This conversation isn’t about trendy diets or miracle supplements. It’s about returning to nature’s blueprint — giving your dog what evolution designed them to eat, feel, and live by.
If you’ve ever wondered why some dogs live vibrant, active lives into their late teens while others struggle with chronic issues by age eight, you need to watch this episode.
Your dog’s health and happiness start with what you put in their bowl.
