I’ve got a question for all you Pawcasters out there! As dedicated pet parents, I'm assuming you take your dog to the vet. You might also take their advice on what type of diet to feed them.
Or, maybe you do your own research on different types of pet food. You might feed kibble? Or raw? Or something else entirely?
But here’s my question:
Have you ever considered “HOW” you feed your dog?
This is what Carol Smeja, the founder of the Original Mine Pet Platter and guest for this week’s Pawcast, and I chat about.
The Original Mine Pet Platter is an upgraded dog food feeder designed to allow pets to eat as nature intended.
We get into how dog bowls can cause eating behaviors such as anxiety, food guarding, and bloating (among many others). We even talk about the importance of WHERE to put your dog’s food and how it affects their security.
Carol is changing the health of pets and educating pet parents that “HOW you feed your dog is just as important as what you feed.”
