Simple Doesn't Mean Easy

In this episode of the Simple Doesn't Mean Easy podcast, we discuss the importance of simplifying pet care, particularly focusing on dog nutrition.

I share my journey in finding the right food for our dogs, Bixby and Selah, discussing both kibble and dehydrated dog food.

And I break down the 4 key questions to consider when choosing dog food, so you can make an informed decision that you feel good about and that promotes your pets' well-being.
