Selenium

Author: Raw Pet Medics August 23, 2024 Duration: 36:57

This week we are back to our series on exploring individual nutrients. This time Selenium is on the menu and the value it has for our canine companions.

It’s a trace element, number 34 on the periodic table, but where can we find it in our food?

How much of it is the recommendation? Why do we need it and what happens when you give too much!

Join Drs Brendan, Nick and Conor Rawpetmedics as they suss this one out this week!

Ever wondered what’s really going on with your dog’s diet, their behavior, or those little health quirks you can’t quite explain? That’s the space where Raw Pet Medics lives. Each week, Dr. Nick and Dr. Brendan-both practicing veterinarians and nutritionists-are joined by Conor, who holds a doctorate in behavior and is also a nutritionist. Together, they blend their distinct professional backgrounds into conversations that feel more like a chat with incredibly knowledgeable friends than a clinical lecture. You’ll hear them catch up on their own weeks in practice before diving deep into a new topic, from deciphering pet food labels and the realities of raw feeding to managing anxiety and optimizing fitness for your furry family member. The goal is straightforward but profound: to equip you with specialist knowledge so you can make confident decisions for your pet’s wellbeing. This podcast recognizes that our animals are integral to family life, and their health is intertwined with our own. While the advice is always rooted in science and their hands-on experience, the tone remains accessible and often lighthearted. They believe that learning how to help your dog live its healthiest, most vibrant life shouldn’t be a chore, and that sense of shared purpose and occasional fun makes every episode both a resource and a genuine pleasure to listen to.
