In this episode of the Pet Nutrition Show with Amanda and Dr. Anna, the focus is on bladder health and urinary stones in pets.

We discuss why dog urine can burn grass and offer solutions like increasing water intake and dietary adjustments. We also dive deep into the different types of urinary stones, their causes, and how diet influences their formation.

Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, a small but vital organ near the stomach that plays a significant role in digestion and hormone regulation. In a healthy state, the pancreas holds digestive enzymes that await activation. However, during pancreatitis, these enzymes become active prematurely and start digesting the pancreas itself, leading to severe pain and various complications in dogs, cats, and even humans.

The discussion emphasises the importance of low-fat, highly digestible diets and highlights some food hacks and supplements that can aid in managing these health issues. The episode wraps up with advice on how to recognise symptoms and seek proper veterinary care.
