130: This week I’m coming to you from the road—literally—while on my Herbal Dog Tour! In this episode, I dig into a question I was asked on tour: Can our dogs intuitively choose their energetics like wild animals do? I unpack why our dogs aren’t wolves, how seasonal eating plays into health, and why commercial diets make energetics more important than ever.

Topics Discussed:

→ Can dogs choose their own food based on energetics?

→ What’s the difference between wild wolves' diets and domestic dogs’ diets?

→ Why are food energetics important in commercial dog diets?

→ How do seasonal foods affect your dog’s health?

→ What proteins and herbs support energetic balance in dogs?
