Great podcast today with Dan Schuloff. Just like us humans, better food equals better health. Dan’s product sounds like the next best thing to a raw diet, which is what I feed my dog because I have a local butcher that makes a fully balanced grind for reasonable $. Fewer vet bills (actually almost none in my case) makes the higher price more palatable! FYI…Dogs Naturally magazine (website) is a good information source for raw diet and natural health.
Keep up the great work on all the shows and products!
Love ketona!! It took away all my dogs issues they called allergies. Itchy skin paw licking scratching skin sores and he lost 10 pounds! He rubs to his bowl and lives to eat it too! No need to wait to switch i didnt my dog always has tummy issues too and had none switching to this foid without transitioning.
