The Intersection of Nutrition and Cancer | SOP ep. 137 - Dr. Iveta Becvarova
Q: Would you expound upon that about how you really should kind of work into transitioning to a new diet?
Becvarova recommends a gradual transition over about 14 days for cats, with the new food served in a separate bowl next to the old food. This lets cats choose to try it without the new food being mixed into a familiar meal.
The Intersection of Nutrition and Cancer | SOP ep. 137 - Dr. Iveta Becvarova
Q: What made you decide to pick cancer and nutrition and marry those two?
During the pandemic, Becvarova returned to clinical research and chose to study feline cancer because nutrition research in cats was limited. She wanted to add evidence about how to feed and support cats with malignancies.
