Today’s show is all about picking out the best food for YOUR dog. There is sooooooo much information out there to keep track of.

To feed kibble, to not feed kibble. Ooh, grain-free? What’s that? Wait, you’re saying I should feed raw? What about home cooked?

The questions are endless! Where do we start?

But no worries my fellow Pawcasters because today on the show we have Dr. Katie Woodley, a holistic veterinarian also known as “The Natural Pet Doctor.”

Dr. Katie’s path from conventional medicine to holistic healing began when her husband developed an autoimmune disease. After discovering the results of alternative medicine, she knew her furry patients deserved the same care.

She went on to create The Natural Pet Doctor to give pet parents and veterinarians more resources for natural medicine. 

And what’s the best medicine?

That’s right, FOOD!

So stick around for the show to learn all about how to pick the best food for your dog.
