Wonderful podcast

Absolutely love the show :-) so informative and fun

Jenniferdd ,

Good, but could use a tweak…

I appreciate both hosts for their knowledge & what they give to the world in relation to healthier nutrition for dogs. However, I really wish they’d save the chats about their personal lives/other topics for their own personal time, & stick to relevant topics regarding dog nutrition or similar I only have so much time to listen per day, and it’s frustrating if I have to spend half of that time trying to fast forward to get to the dog nutrition relevant topic that is the whole reason I am listening in the first place.

Like the content usually

I like the content of this podcast usually, as a dog lover it’s very relevant to me so I love that! But Kimberly sometimes (a lot of times) talks way too much and goes on tangents and speaks over Erin constantly and it’s annoying to listen to sometimes! It’s my pet peeve when people think they have to dominate the conversation. Hopefully she will get better about that in the future.
