1 in 3 dogs will be diagnosed with cancer, and those odds increase to 1 in 2 for dogs over the age of 10. Yet so few pet parents understand the connection between diet and cancer, which canine nutrition researcher Dr Mark Roberts explains.

The ketogenic diet (very low carb, high fat) was actually first researched in humans 100+ years ago as a therapeutic diet for managing epilepsy. Canine nutrition researcher Dr Mark Roberts explains why it’s also a useful tool for managing epilepsy in dogs. #petnutrition #petindustry

For the past year, we've partnered with canine nutrition researcher, Dr Mark Roberts, to help us explain the science supporting low-carb, high-fat diets for dogs. As an industry, we've raised the standards for ingredients, but we still aren't talking enough about the impact of micronutrients. For example, nearly 60% of dogs are overweight or obese, and the standard nutritional approach of a high-fiber, low-calorie diet in response isn't working. In our most recent blog post, Dr. Roberts breaks down why: https://lnkd.in/gm_DeHK8 #petnutrition #petfoodindustry

More time. It's what we all want with our pets, and what a diet change meant for Fudge, a maltipoo who lived to 17 years old. But he almost didn't. After receiving a ketoacidosis diagnosis that ultimately left him without his vision, Fudge's mom, Michele, decided not to follow a recommendation to euthanize and, instead, turned to nutrition to help Fudge live another 5 YEARS. Read their story:

Nothing is more powerful to our mission than connecting with REAL pet parents & their pups at independent pet stores. We’re exclusive to independent pet because we believe in the role this incredible community plays in changing how we think about our pets’ health — and the businesses we support along through way. Raw goat milk: Sourced from small family farms. Brought to market by a family-owned brand. Sold to pet parents ONLY at independent pet stores. (And yes, we’re in indie pet. Of course we let the last doggo of the day lick the bottle.) 📸 from the grand opening celebration for Bark N Luv in Chandler, AZ last weekend! #petindustry #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #petnutrition #grandopening

Anyone suffering from a mid-afternoon slump?! The metabolic factors that cause our 2 p.m. energy crash affect our dogs, too. Surprised? One aspect of our low-carb, high-fat (#keto) nutritional approach we don't talk about enough is sustained energy burn. In his latest guest blog, canine nutrition expert Dr Mark Roberts how different macronutrients contribute to sustained energy: https://lnkd.in/gxEJ9duw #petnutrition #ketodiet #metabolichealth

Meet Ollie: he's 11-years old, and putting up a fight against colon cancer on our keto diet. With 1 in 3 dogs facing a cancer diagnosis in their lives, stories like this are our "why" as a pet food company. From Ollie's mom, Tracy: "Post-op he was given 2 months to live due to unclean margins when the mass was removed. He is doing awesome, going on 8 months with the current CT scan showing NO growth at the mass site! Super stoked to have found this diet. His coat looks fantastic, he definitely has more energy and his poos are super small. Huge benefit because he has discomfort with each BM. Huge thank you, Bones & Co.!" #petindustry #petnutrition #entrepreneur #goodnews

"Bones and Co. is a pet food company I really see understanding the importance of the macronutrient profile of a dog's food. Their product ties in perfectly with my research findings and my working dog research that I'm undertaking at the moment as well." WATCH our visit to rural New Hampshire, where canine researcher and sled dog racing professional Dr Mark Roberts explained why he feeds his own dogs a low-carb, high fat diet.
