The Pet-Safe Rat Solution Every Dog Parent Should Hear

The Farmers Dog Review: Digestion Problems, Food Transitions & More

🐾 In Part 2 of this dog nutrition series, I'm sharing my real-life experience transitioning my dogs to fresh food and some of the challenges we encountered along the way. One of the biggest lessons? Slow transitions matter. Tony experienced significant gas. Love also struggled with digestive changes and developed loose stools during the transition. I discuss why these issues can happen, how a dog's digestive system responds to dietary changes, and why gradually introducing a new food is so important. I also share my thoughts on The Farmer's Dog, including the packaging, meal preparation, and some of the practical realities pet parents may want to consider before making the switch. In addition to our dog food discussion, I kick off the episode by recognizing Pride Month and sharing exciting news about my recent GoodPup trainer certification. I talk about the course, the testing process, and why I believe the collaboration between Rover and GoodPup is helping put pets first. The certification program is available at no cost and offers a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about positive reinforcement training. Finally, with hurricane season officially underway, having a plan before a storm arrives can make all the difference.
