Fresh Food, Real Science for Dogs - With Special Guest Massimo from Cani Naturali

In this episode, Josh sits down with Massimo — a professionally trained chef and certified canine nutritionist — who is redefining dog food in Montreal through his company, Cani Naturali.

What began as a way to help his own dog’s allergies evolved into a gourmet slow-cooked meal service built on real, human-grade ingredients, precise nutrient balance, and lab-tested recipes. Massimo explains why ultra-processed kibble can’t compare to fresh, whole foods, and how proper nutrition influences everything from digestion and coat health to energy and behavior.

Josh and Massimo also explore the often-overlooked link between diet and behavior, sharing how even small nutritional changes can support a dog’s confidence, focus, and overall mental well-being.

This conversation is all about community, collaboration, and raising the standard for what we feed our dogs. If you’ve ever wondered whether fresh food truly makes a difference, this episode will change the way you look at your dog’s bowl.
