On this episode Dr. Sam and Dr. Robert start the conversation about picking the right food for your pet. As veterinarians we have found this topic to be one of the most confusing, controversial and important conversations we have with owners. (As well as all of our friends that want advice on the BEST food to feed their beloved pet. )

Food is the building block of health in people and in animals. We show love with food. So, how DO you know what to feed your dog? Over the next few weeks we are interviewing different companies that make pet food so that you can learn about the process, and see what makes sense for you. We tried to pick different types of food choices to give you a window into the industry. We are not specifically endorsing one food over another.

Today's podcast starts the conversation by giving you the tools to evaluate a food for yourself. Look beyond the marketing, and perhaps change how you approach evaluating any food you are considering. As always, talk to your veterinarian, because they know your pets specific needs.

On today's episode, Dr. Sam and Dr. Robert sit down with Dr. Christine, a fellow veterinarian and a co - founder of Jope.

There are so many joint supplements on the market, and even as veterinarians, it can be overwhelming to decide which is best. As veterinarians, we are trained to follow an evidence based approach to treatments and medications. However, there is so little true evidence to support one supplement over another. We often rely on anecdotal evidence and experience to guide us. Enter Jope! Jope is a company that sells veterinarian-developed, science-backed supplements that dogs love to eat. Join us and learn about this small company that is bringing an evidence based approach to supplements.
