Synopsis

Your dog’s health is shaped by far more than the food in the bowl.

The Metabolic Dog takes a practical, science-informed look at canine nutrition, cellular energy, brain health, the gut-brain axis, healthy aging, supplements, homemade toppers, and the everyday habits that help dogs stay lean, strong, mobile, and engaged as they grow older.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• How mitochondria and energy metabolism change with age
• What processing, cooking, and advanced glycation products really mean
• The roles of protein, omega-3s, fats, carbohydrates, and nutrient sensing
• The emerging science of the canine gut-brain connection and psychobiotics
• MCTs, CoQ10, polyphenols, taurine, carnitine, and other commonly discussed supplements
• Practical rules for safe home cooking and complementary toppers
• Body condition, muscle condition, kidney markers, BUN, and urine monitoring
• Practical nutrition strategies for puppies, adults, seniors, overweight dogs, working dogs, and dogs with medical conditions

This is not a book of miracle ingredients or extreme fasting protocols. It is a framework for making better decisions: feed a complete diet, protect muscle, keep body fat in check, use supplements selectively, monitor meaningful changes, and involve your veterinary team when nutrition becomes medical.

The goal is not to feed a theory.

The goal is to feed a dog.
