The Surprising Truth Behind Why Vets Push Kibble (Rodney Habib & Dr. Karen Becker)

In this episode of The BK Petcast, we sit down with The Forever Dog Life authors, Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker DVM, to explore why vets recommend kibble and whether they are taught about proper nutrition in veterinary school. We discuss if kibble is bad for dogs, what’s really in kibble, and why some vets push kibble over fresh dog food alternatives. Rodney and Dr. Karen share insights into the best dog food brands, homemade dog food recipes, and their thoughts on healthier options. Plus, we dive into the controversy surrounding the world’s oldest dog, Bobi, and how alleged threats from kibble companies may have influenced the removal of the title from the Guinness World Records.
