We’re diving into the future of pet food, exploring how cutting-edge AI and new technologies are transforming what’s in your pup’s bowl. 

A lot of us have dogs with special dietary needs, and all of us want the best nutrition for our dogs so they can live long, healthy lives. But is vegan dog food right for your dog? I was skeptical, so I talked with Dr. Mahsa Vazin, the Founder of PawCo Foods, to get an insight into the pet food industry. Even though I work in the pet goods industry, the food space is so vastly different. 

My conclusion is that more variety and innovation is always good in an industry - where competition is healthy and consumers have choice. How do you feel about it? Let me know!

Warmest of regards,

⬇️ OPEN FOR COUPON CODES ⬇️Those of you who know the story of my dog Birdie, knows how difficult it was on my family. She was diagnosed at age 2 with congenital kidney disease, and with love and care, was able to live 15 more months. When Fina reached out to me and shared her dog Stevie’s illness, I could really relate to her experience navigating the diagnosis and care.

Welcome back Dog Moms (and Dog Dads)! It's been a long time since I've been here - and in this episode I discuss with my friend Simon Chun about how the recent tariffs affect businesses like ours in the pet industry. Note that I had filmed this on April 30th, 2025, and there have been changes to the tariff news. President Trump called for a 90-day temporary pause on tariffs on May 12th, so our tariff is capped at extra 30%. However, this doesn't change the content of our discussion and the uncertainty our businesses faced in the first half of 2025 and will continue to face. I hope to improve my speaking skills and my editing skills (so I can upload these faster!). Thank you for watching and being a part of my journey.

Warmest of regards,
Jen Glaser
