The meat-heavy diets of our companion animals have a huge carbon pawprint. While cats are compulsory carnivores, dogs are omnivores and can live -- in fact, thrive -- on a fully plant-based diet. (Case in point: a British border collie named Bramble was fed as a Vegan and lived to 25 -- the Guinness record for dog longevity.) On this episode, Diana Laverdure-Dunetz, a canine nutritionist with a Masters degree in animal science, shares the how's and why's of feeding dogs in ways that will make them happy and healthy without animal products.

Known in the vegan world for her very successful children's books, LA artist Ruby Roth has done a definite pivot. Following the breakup of a defining relationship, she started to explore herself as an individual and a woman, and turned her art to an exploration of the female form. Her new book, Boss Inside: A Reclamation of the Feminine, reveals this new course. In this episode, we talk about art, all the "selves" we have inside, and about new beginnings. And yes, Ruby remains staunchly vegan.
