This might be quite a controversial episode! On this week's episode, Courtney, Laura and I discuss how we got involved with the raw diet for our dogs Josie, Mr. Big and Alfred (plus Boss of course!).

We go through our journeys to discovering raw, including research on the following accounts:
- Raw Fed and Nerdy - The RFN course and spreadsheet (both cost money)
- GSD Stormy
- Navi the Noodle

Reminder: We are not vets, we are just some dog moms figuring it out along the way. If you are considering going raw, look into it via experts and your vet to see if its suitable for you.
