Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson are joined by Dr. Pete (Philip VanVranken) and Molly VanVranken to discuss all things dogs. Dr. Pete talks about how he established the Dickman Road Veterinary Clinic, what motivates him to continue to practice vet medicine, and guides us through a laundry list of questions about hunting dog injuries, pet care, food selection, and some interesting "finds" over the years.
Dr. Pete has also founded a new dog food company, The Scoop (soon to be rebranded as Voyager Dog Food Co.). We talk about how copper additives (chelated coppers or copper sulfate) in dog food are leading to a rise in copper storage disease, which causes cirrhosis of the liver. Molly VanVranken helps unpack why their dog food is a wise choice and the reasons behind the rebranding to Voyager Dog Food Co.
This episode will give you an inside "Scoop" on hunting dog health care and get you thinking about what we are feeding our hard-working companions. It's a great discussion that we could have continued long into the night... full of great stories, vital information, and trustworthy guidance.
