Rupture of the CCL is one of the most common reasons for hind limb lameness, pain, and subsequent arthritis in dogs. And a new study shows age of neutering is correlated to an increased incidence of ligament ruptures. We'll be discussing this study and giving you support protocols and supplements you can institute to reduce your dog’s risk.

In this Science Sunday Inside Scoop episode, we'll also be covering 5 kitchen staples that have been linked to potential health hazards, the sources and effects of microplastics in our pets' environment, and how to reduce exposure and help them detox. Plus much more!

Rodney & Dr. Becker discuss the latest research on nutrition and health in this replay of their weekly Facebook Live on the Inside Scoop. Plus they answer listener questions. Original LIVE aired October 13, 2024
