Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino - Formerly It's A Dog's Life

Many dog owners are so focused on what to feed their dogs that they don’t think about how they’re feeding them. But the way we feed our dogs can have a major impact on their digestion, behavior, and overall health. In this episode, Carol Smeja shares the science behind how dogs eat, including what we can learn from watching wolves and wildcats. She explains why bowls are not the best way to feed your dog and breaks down the different things to look for in a dog feeder, from color to material to shape. Carol is the creator of Mine Pet Platter, a unique and science-backed solution to many of the common dog feeding issues.
