This week, we’re catching up on the dogs, discussing pet parent etiquette in public, and revisiting the raw feeding myths and misleading statistics making the rounds on social media. We also explore why dogs eat grass, share a veterinarian’s practical approach to pet food, and talk about a new free DIY raw feeding calculator. Then we ask the question no one saw coming: WTF is lamb protein yeast, and would we feed it to our dogs? Plus, we wrap up with our latest TV and movie talk.
