Grab your bowl of kibble (or better yet, some fresh food), because Sherry and Carly are back to bust more myths in part two of our deep-dive into what’s really in your pet’s dish. This week, they’re calling out the fluff around breed-specific foods, unraveling the truth about senior dog diets, and clearing up confusion around kidney disease and grain-free trends. Spoiler alert: It’s not all about what’s on the front of the bag. The duo breaks down why variety isn’t just the spice of life—it’s essential for your dog’s health. They chat about why wet food deserves a place in your rotation, why switching up proteins and brands matters, and why "vet-recommended" doesn’t always mean best-in-show. Sherry and Carly also dig into why dogs eat grass (and no, it’s not always because they’re sick), plus they dish on the real connection between diet and dental health. Bonus: they spill the tea on supplements and how to read past the first ingredient on the label. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by pet food marketing or stuck in a same-old kibble rut, this episode is your permission slip to shake things up—for your dog’s health and happiness.
