Ep271 - The big 3 factors affecting your dog's health, with Dr. Will Maginness

Panos sits down with Dr Will Magness — veterinarian and founder of 5 Hounds dog food, to unpack some of the biggest (and often most misunderstood) topics affecting dogs today. The conversation explores the three major factors influencing dog health, why Dr Will started 5 Hounds, and the common issues seen in kibble-only diets. It also dives into proper feeding, the link between food and allergies, and the ongoing discussion around early desexing, including ideal timing and possible alternatives. They examine whether dogs are being over-vaccinated, why yearly vaccinations are still commonly recommended, and what a titre test actually is and when it makes sense. This is a balanced, practical conversation, not fear-based, not dogmatic — just honest discussion about diet, development, and long-term health. For anyone serious about raising a healthy, resilient dog, this episode will get them thinking. Find Dr. Will at Find us online >> Panos @ >> Luke @ >> >> >>
