Zara takes the hot seat in this episode to talk about pet food and how it can vary according to our pet’s life stage and lifestyle. Much like we know with own health, we are what we eat, and it’s the same for our pets. Their diet plays a major role in keeping them healthy, active and well-nourished and can affect everything from brain development and bone health to the shine of their coat. Find out when your pet might need to change to a life style diet, how to introduce new foods and tips on reading the labels on pet food.
