I want to personally thank Dr. Smith for giving his time and efforts to help a group of 7th graders from Gadsden Alabama this past Sunday. Dr. Smith did an outstanding job and the boys really appreciated all his hard work teaching them various catching skills.

Sincerely,

Mike Edwards

Sorry about the delayed response to your question. The answer is “no>.” There is no evidence that this type of diet helps from a Western standpoint. We can only extrapolate from our human counterparts. However, in my practice, the dogs on Pettao exude vibrancy and health far beyond dogs on a more conventional diet. So, i guess the evidence is mostly anecdotal from me. Thanks for your comment!!!!!

As I’ve adopted two shelter dogs, and work in adult human nutrition and medicine, this is terrific information.

Especially because your advice parallels (with the exception of criteria #1 and 2) the best nutritional advice for people: I prefer people receive most of their protein from plants, and that whole grains are a larger percentage of diet—perhaps 20-25.

I like the approach, and wonder if data exist about longevity for this prescription in dogs (as they do in people: see, e.g., RealAge.com and RealAge Diet: disclosure, I co-authored the latter).

Best
