    0419: Canine Nutrition with Daniel Schulof
    The Morris Animal Foundation is discussed in this episode. While they have helped fund research that greatly benefits the health of animals, their research on pet nutrition can be called into question. We were not aware of the conflict of interest raised by Daniel Schulof when we interviewed Dr. Kelly Diehl in 2021. While we are grateful for the beneficial work they have done in many areas of animal research, we implore the Morris Animal Foundation to objectively study the impact of meat-based protein versus plant-derived carbohydrates in pet food.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make your day better

With so much going on in the world, it is so nice to be able to have something that you can listen to that will bring your attention to the good that is going on around us. Dogs are such incredible and healing animals, and listening to these stories of these amazing dogs and humans truly is encouraging. So many unique stories and lives changed, it definitely gives you those “feels” we all need to have, especially now. I highly recommend this podcast. I only wish I knew about it sooner, but now I have so many stories I can listen to now to catch up!

It's all about Dogs and More!

While the focus is on dogs, each episode has elements that delve into other subjects like starting a business, running a non-profit, yoga, volunteering and more!
