170. The Raw Revolution - IG Live with Girls Gone Raw

The truth is that kibble is the experiment and that experiment has failed.

Lauren, the founder of Girls Gone Raw Pet Health, joins me to discuss the health revolution in the U.S. and how we are actively looking to feed our pets better!

Have you made the switch?

1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Oh my gosh, I must have a filter
on.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:12,720
Oh well, we've started and I am
going to try to get Lauren in

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,920
here from Girls Con Raw.
I'm really excited for today.

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,160
Well, hello there she is.
OK, so I'm going to try to

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:28,600
accept.
Let's see if that works.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,360
Hello, everybody.
Thank you so much for being

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,480
here.
Hello you.

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,800
Know it's funny, before that
live that I did with Doctor

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Katie, I built this whole wall.
And I was like.

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
You know what?
So cute.

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,640
It's like I should put a brand
up there somewhere.

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,680
So welcome to my official
Instagram Live backdrop,

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,160
apparently.
It's adorable, I like it.

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,680
It's very aesthetic.
Got my forever dog life there of

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,120
course.
Yes love, love forever dog and

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,120
forever dog life.
I haven't made anything out of

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,200
it yet.
Have you tried?

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,880
I did the lycopene liquors.
It was like a watermelon

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,480
popsicle, OK?
It did not look like the book.

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,360
The book was all acidic and it
was like you could see the

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:26,400
definite layers in my to have a
very poppin basil plant in the

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,840
backyard.
And I was like, I have a

23
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,840
watermelon rotting on my
counter.

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,080
Let's see what we can make out
of this.

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,720
And yeah, it was a lot of fun.
It was during that time when it

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,400
was like 107° here.
It was so hot and my poor

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,480
Rottweiler was like melting so.
OK, you're on the East Coast.

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,000
What part?
Ohio, Central Ohio, yes.

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,280
All right.
So for some reason, I mean, we

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,720
haven't had a hot summer like
this in a long time.

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,400
So weather is weird, definitely.
And then we had flooding.

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,120
That's really not normal.
Well, I think a lot of not

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,480
normal stuff is happening this
year.

34
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,120
Like maybe the entire year, like
the last 10.

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,039
Yeah, I know.
I'm like if any year has turned

36
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,760
me into a conspiracy theorist,
it's it's been the last couple

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,520
for sure.
Well, Speaking of, we're going

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,920
to talk about feeding our dogs
and cats a species appropriate

39
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:25,760
diet today.
And I'm so excited that Lauren

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,720
from Girls Gone Raw Pet Health
is joining me today.

41
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,880
And you too tell tell everybody
what you do.

42
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,760
So I don't.
Butcher it.

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,560
Yeah.
So we make dehydrated, locally

44
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,360
farmed for the most part, pet
treats and chews.

45
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,280
So it's essentially what you
would see as like the body part

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,640
company.
And that's me.

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,040
I sorry, I'm trying to figure
out my angle here.

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,120
I, I really love of the
relationship that we've made

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,680
with farmers around us.
It's definitely a slow grow.

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Like my quail farmer, we
basically invested in him.

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,280
I think it's called Renewed
Roots LLC.

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080
He was an electrician and I
believe wanted to get more to

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,880
homesteading for his family.
And he's like, I'll start

54
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,560
raising quail your way, you
know, the clean, holistic, happy

55
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,560
quail way.
If we can come up with an

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720
agreement.
So we work together and got him

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,080
completely set up and now he's
like super invested and growing

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,400
the operation, which is super
cool.

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,440
So all of our coil are raised
specifically for us and it's

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,200
really cool.
Yes, with the just some of the

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,400
relationships I've gotten to
make of the last couple years,

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,880
but everything is dehydrated, so
low temperature for a long time.

63
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,320
And I have some props here.
We are known to to make some of

64
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,040
the the weird kind of niche
stuff.

65
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,720
So we have like whole pray quail
and like I said, that's from my

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,400
really awesome farmer out of
Northeast Ohio.

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,440
He also freeze dries coil chicks
for us because I'm a crazy cat

68
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,120
lady and I wanted to make sure
that I had something that was

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,760
soft and species appropriate for
my very crazy cats.

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720
So yeah, we have these little
guys, which I'll go into that a

71
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,600
little bit later, but I have a
whole spiel kind of about those

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,360
because the baby things make
people sad.

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,600
But basically the whole premise
of my company and my philosophy

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
as a person and my background
and how I got here.

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760
I worked in zoo medicine.
I've worked in, you know,

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,600
biology, anatomy, veterinary
science for my whole life, and

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,120
I've never understood anything
more than the fact that food is

78
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,520
medicine and enriching the
animal is vital.

79
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Yes, and that's the basis of
everything for this company's

80
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,280
enrichment.
And food is medicine.

81
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Well, and I think those two
really go hand in hand when we

82
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:56,440
talk about our pets, especially
that we realize how enriching it

83
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,200
is for our pets to be feeding
them species appropriate foods.

84
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,080
And I actually just did a live
maybe two weeks ago with Carol

85
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,960
from mind Pep player and I I've
been using her platters because

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,320
I had her on the podcast maybe
two years ago.

87
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,640
So I've had the pliers for maybe
it's a little bit more than two

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,360
years, I'm not sure, but
somewhere around there And just

89
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,480
the science behind like how we
feed our pets is so fascinating

90
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:36,160
to me, not coming from like that
wildlife or even like to biology

91
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,120
background, but understanding
that like our dogs and cats

92
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,480
really shouldn't, we shouldn't
see them.

93
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,760
That's because they have evolved
and just because they look like

94
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,280
house pets, their brains are
very instinctual still.

95
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,320
And we know that because they
like to shred and chase and tug

96
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,720
and hunt cats especially.
And like I have board cats with

97
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,280
a very small house, but it's
like the best we can do in this

98
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,080
economy, you know what I mean?
And that's, yeah, enrichment.

99
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,520
It's it's not just feed the
body, feed the mind too.

100
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,200
It's taking care of the whole.
Animal, so let's first of all

101
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:22,760
jump back first so I'm going to
just OK, we will definitely try

102
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,720
to get to any questions you guys
have so keep posting them.

103
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,960
I see that we, we already have a
really good question, but I

104
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,720
wanted to jump back quickly
because kibble, commercial pet

105
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,680
food in general, but like the
dry stuff in a bag, the stuff in

106
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,480
a can, that's actually what's
new for our pets.

107
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,800
If we look at like the history
of existence of, you know, these

108
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,920
animals on the planet, even
through domestication for our

109
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
dogs, I think there's argument
that we're still currently

110
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,920
domesticating cats.
But if we look at dogs, I think

111
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,960
everybody's pretty well settled
on the fact that we have

112
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,640
domesticated many breeds of
dogs.

113
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,200
We've done a done a lot of work
on that species for sure.

114
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Yeah.
So even through the

115
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:18,000
domestication process, dogs
still ate pretty natural diet.

116
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,360
It's only since, I mean, pet
food in general came about in

117
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,760
the late 1800s, but we didn't
really see kibble until like

118
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,440
1950s, roughly there in the
1950s.

119
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,320
So I mean, we're less than 100
years in to what I think we are

120
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040
already seeing as a failed
experiment.

121
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,400
At least you and I, I think, can
agree.

122
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640
Cancer rates and those cancer
rates and those cancer rates and

123
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,160
those cancer rates and the
lighting of the lifespan ever

124
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,960
like, well, modern medicine.
They should be living longer

125
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,960
with modern medicine that we
have, honestly.

126
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,480
Well, well, and I think that's a
whole other topic, quite

127
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,160
honestly, that we are starting
to see humans talk about for us.

128
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,600
But the the human medical system
and the pet medical system

129
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,240
really mirror each other in a
lot of ways.

130
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,120
And I think even worse in our
veterinary medical system

131
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,600
because the liability isn't
there, you know, they pets are

132
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760
still considered property.
So the.

133
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,400
Still kind of disposable.
Right.

134
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Dad, I'm so sorry.
You should get a puppy.

135
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,679
That's not the point.
I'm like, you know, I'm like.

136
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,559
That's.
Just because I can replace it,

137
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,000
doesn't, you know, that's not
the point of it.

138
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,840
Yeah, absolutely.
But really, I if I could get

139
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,400
like nothing across to anybody
else.

140
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:50,040
Kibble is the experiment.
Kibble is the new the new and

141
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,320
it's not working.
So if we really look back at

142
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,800
like the history of what our
dogs and our cats have been

143
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,600
eating forever and ever and
ever, it is a prey that they

144
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,640
would catch in the wild or for
our dogs, especially through the

145
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,440
domestication process, what was
found in whatever it like if if

146
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,840
an animal were taken into a
home, scraps that they were fed.

147
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,560
But if they were wild, they
often would eat from like trash

148
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,000
piles and whatever excess that
humans threw out, in addition to

149
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,560
hunting and and whatever they
could find did carcasses in the

150
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:37,680
woods, all of that.
So one of the things that I like

151
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:43,080
about what you're doing, it's
not just that you are putting

152
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,040
out a healthy species
appropriate product, but that

153
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:56,280
you are really like embracing
the whole, well, I was going to

154
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,360
say like the whole like actual
nature of how what they would

155
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,800
find and eat in the wild.
Like we're bringing that back

156
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,760
onto the plate.
That's.

157
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Why I like to use the label
specifically species

158
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,880
appropriate.
It's yeah, it's biologically

159
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,000
appropriate is what, you know,
is used a lot.

160
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,320
But it's.
Yeah, yeah.

161
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,200
Sorry to cut you off, but that's
yeah.

162
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:21,720
Why a label that I really mean,
and especially for cats, too.

163
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,640
I mean, for some reason, every
time I put cat content up, it it

164
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,320
flops.
But people forget our cats are

165
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,400
carnivores.
Obligate.

166
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,120
That's what they need.
They're also horribly unenriched

167
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,480
and like, I'm not perfect about
it.

168
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,920
I have 4 cats.
I do what I can when I can.

169
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640
They have a cadio, they have
things like that.

170
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,760
But our cats are, you know,
massively successful predators

171
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
locked in a box all the time.
So I try to leash train my

172
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,320
animals.
I have one that's bored, they

173
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,560
have their caddy and things like
that.

174
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,360
But yeah, going back to like the
scavenging aspect of it, it's

175
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,920
such a frustrating topic and
I've I've had to cut myself off

176
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,240
from trying to argue at the
carnivore versus omnivore.

177
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,480
And dogs are really that fine
middle line where, yeah, there's

178
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,840
there's absolutely proof that
they need and can benefit from

179
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,920
non meat food inclusions.
If you see a, a dog out grazing

180
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,480
on grass, eating dirt, things
like that, that's them filling

181
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,960
their own gaps naturally.
That's the scavenger part of

182
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,320
them.
They are opportunistic

183
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,520
carnivores.
They're scavenging carnivores.

184
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,600
And so their diet should be
largely meat, fresh meat, and

185
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,920
then adding in whatever they can
get, blueberries, greens, dirt,

186
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:45,960
hair, things like that.
So we can just tell people, no,

187
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880
go ahead.
Well, I'm sorry, I'm just going

188
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,720
to say you're on the like topic.
I think I I just posted a

189
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,960
podcast episode with Doctor
Chris Besson this week and I

190
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,720
think she had one of the best
explanations I've heard of why

191
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,960
so many people, especially in
big pet food, argue that our

192
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,240
dogs are omnivores.
And she said it's because it is

193
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,960
so easy to nutritionally abuse
them because they don't show

194
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,040
signs for such a long time that
that nutritional abuse in the

195
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,640
eyes of, oh, we did a 10 month
study, looks like they can be

196
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,600
omnivores, right?
So like, that's kind of the best

197
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,800
explanation.
I've I've really heard anybody

198
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,520
say of why people have this idea
that our dogs are omnivores, but

199
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,440
they're not.
They're, like you said, like

200
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,240
scavenger.
Like we do to ourselves as

201
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,400
humans, right?
We as a species just lightly

202
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,800
nutritionally abuse ourselves
for our whole lives and it

203
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,360
doesn't show up as huge disease
most of the time it shows up as

204
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,680
weight gain, achy joints,
headaches, this chronic low, you

205
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:08,160
know, lifetime diseases.
And I like you said of the pet

206
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,680
and health industry, you know,
human health industry being

207
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,800
mirrors.
I have never been so fired up in

208
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,120
my life because we are finally
talking about it.

209
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,160
And I just know that and and
nobody make this political

210
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,320
health is not a partisan issue.
Health is something that

211
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,600
everybody should be thinking
about and the just what do you

212
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,960
call it?
The corruption within our health

213
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,320
industry is, is blaring.
And so glad that they're finally

214
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,760
talking about that because that
directly mirrors into the pet

215
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,080
health industry.
And you know, I'm a mom and I'm

216
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520
a pretty low income mom, you
know, as small business, We're

217
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,320
not raking it in.
I still have to feed my kid and

218
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920
get him music classes and stuff
to make sure that he's enriched.

219
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,480
It's hard to feed pets on a
budget really good clean food.

220
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,000
It's hard to feed kids on a
budget really good clean food

221
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,920
because everything that I look
at has BHABHT food coloring.

222
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,600
You know, I'm like even just
buying blocks of cheese and then

223
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,680
you have to shred it because I
want to avoid all the mold

224
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,440
inhibitors and things like that.
And I'm like, it's why is it so

225
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,960
hard just to get clean food for
our pets?

226
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,240
You have to wade through so much
crap just to get to the good

227
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,480
stuff.
So that's what I'm like.

228
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,280
I promise from I'm like, I will
not put anything in any of my

229
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,800
stuff that you don't need,
period.

230
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,280
Yeah.
Well, and that's what I actually

231
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,280
think that our job educating pet
parents, in my opinion, is going

232
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,200
to get a lot more difficult
before it gets easier.

233
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:46,360
Because with the, with the fact
that we as a society for human

234
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,080
health are really seeing a lot
of pushback and people talking

235
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,440
about it.
And it looks like we might

236
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:59,440
actually get some positive
changes in, in that aspect if

237
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,400
we're not making the same
changes in pet food at the same

238
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,920
time.
I I fear that the new right

239
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,520
regulation, the new push for
healthier human food is actually

240
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,040
going to wind up making pet food
even worse If we're not doing,

241
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,120
if we're if we're not following
the same path, Yeah, at the same

242
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:27,600
time in both industries.
So I think our job may be a

243
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,360
little harder before it gets
better.

244
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,920
But I mean, I'm willing to take
that on so that we, because it

245
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,240
always does like even whatever
is happening with humans, we are

246
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,840
eventually going to see it in
pets.

247
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,400
So I'm not mad about it.
I just think like we're going to

248
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,320
have to still.
Yeah, Yeah, that's a good point.

249
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,760
That's a good point.
I, I think that also, I try to,

250
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,400
I'm so far into my little bubble
of amazing pet health that

251
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,480
sometimes I get outside of that.
I'm like, how do you guys not

252
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,920
see this?
You know what I mean?

253
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,080
Like it's, it's hard and I have
to kind of humble myself and

254
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,760
realize that sometimes we have
to go way outside the bubble,

255
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,560
start from the bottom and
welcome that up.

256
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,160
And I actually, it's easy in
social media within my bubble to

257
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,760
start getting kind of edgy.
I mean, people like kind of

258
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,400
controversial stuff.
And I made a couple reels back

259
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,880
in the day that everyone's like,
wow, we loved your Instagram.

260
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960
And I was kind of getting some
pushback that it was low key

261
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
kibble shame me.
And I'm like, that's not the

262
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,120
point, but it's easy to put
content out there that your

263
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,040
followers want to see.
What I want to do is create

264
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,000
content that's going to
encourage people.

265
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,200
And when somebody that's been
feeding, you know, Purina Pro

266
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,920
plan, their whole life comes to
me and they just see like, you

267
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,000
know, screw Purina, blah, blah,
blah, they're they're going to

268
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,800
run for it.
But if we put out educational

269
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,200
and encouraging content, telling
people like, hey, if you're

270
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,560
adding steamed broccoli to your
dog's kibble, you're doing

271
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,080
great.
If you're adding water, that's

272
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,880
the first step.
Let's talk about some other easy

273
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,319
ways.
You don't have to spend

274
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:09,040
$1,000,000 because, yeah, like I
said, it's really hard on my

275
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,000
budget to feed what I want to
do.

276
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,319
I'm really lucky that I'm
surrounded by fresh meat

277
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,640
constantly.
So right now I do the Doctor

278
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,520
Harvey's.
They get that for their nutrient

279
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,079
balance and then I'm able to
give them chunks of really

280
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,839
awesome fresh meat, whole birds,
chunks of rabbit, things like

281
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,599
that.
But I don't even know I went so

282
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,640
far down that rabbit hole.
But yeah, I mean, it's we are in

283
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,480
this amazing bubble of people
that care and love their pets so

284
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,600
much and are constantly trying
to do better even with it if

285
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,320
it's with clean treats and
things like that.

286
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,000
So I don't always get that side
of the customers because I am

287
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,080
the, you know, whole dead bird
lady.

288
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,080
But that's why I keep like my
chicken jerky.

289
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,240
If you are substituting a Milk
Bone for a chicken jerky you're

290
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,080
doing, you're doing great, and I
really like that the Forever Dog

291
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
book talks about that.
Even if you're substituting your

292
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,040
processed treats for a simple
whole food treat, you're doing

293
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,080
great.
Yeah.

294
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,000
But it is kind of funny that you
bring that up though, because I

295
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,520
definitely see the same trend.
Like if I post something really

296
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,360
controversial that people are
either fix up getting like

297
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:20,960
literally posting death threats
on my page or yeah, then it's.

298
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,520
Like you're like, thanks for the
engagement, like right.

299
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,840
And then the more like we're all
going to be OK, just do a little

300
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,040
bit at a time like that just
kind of falls flat.

301
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,360
And it's like how like finding
that balance of I need to be

302
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,880
able to reach people, but also
like I want exactly what you're

303
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,200
saying, like be able.
To like the Mr. Rogers of pet

304
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,120
food content, Like, hey, you're
doing great, your dog's cute,

305
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:49,760
have a good day.
Right go.

306
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,880
Add some meat in there.
Yeah, You're awesome.

307
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,120
Yeah.
That's what I would like to be.

308
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,920
That's why I strive to be.
But it's hard because, you know,

309
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,840
as a small creator, as a small
brand, it's the edgy stuff that

310
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,600
brings people in.
I mean, yeah, I posted one that

311
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,400
I was kind of like, I don't
know, I was just talking about

312
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,760
like, you know, the big pet food
companies or like kind of a

313
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,200
sassy one.
And like I got like hundreds of

314
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,440
likes.
And that's obviously that's

315
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,480
going to help my business grow.
So you have to make sacrifices

316
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,400
like that sometimes.
And that's why social media is

317
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,800
kind of toxic.
I was call it my necessary evil.

318
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:28,960
Yeah.
Well, OK, so for our dogs, for

319
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,840
our cats, feeding them, I mean,
obviously I know the answer to

320
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,240
this, but just for the sake of
this conversation, what does it

321
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,200
mean to feed a species
appropriate diet?

322
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,600
In my opinion, as a non medical
professional, but very heavily

323
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:52,720
educated on all sides of that,
it's a moderately balanced over

324
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,840
time meat heavy diet with some
fresh produce and herbs and

325
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,400
medicinal herbs and things like
that.

326
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,600
And it really doesn't have to be
that hard.

327
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,880
I will never, ever, ever tell
somebody to go out and feed, you

328
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,720
know, chicken thighs every day
or somebody the other day was

329
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,080
like, I can just feed my dog
like raw hamburger, right?

330
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,400
I'm like raw hamburger and.
And what?

331
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Yeah.
And so that's why I like things

332
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,440
like the Doctor Harvey's because
it's just dried whole food mix,

333
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,320
at least the raw vibrance, the
Paradigm has some vitamins and

334
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280
minerals as well, but it's just
that.

335
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,400
And then you add in whatever
fresh foods you can get on on

336
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,360
whatever budget you have.
If it's grass fed bison, heck

337
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,640
yeah, go for it.
If it's haunted deer, heck yeah.

338
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,480
But to me, you know, a good diet
for our pets looks like lots of

339
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,320
fresh meats.
And adding in that, what is it,

340
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,640
20%?
Remember, I think it, it's

341
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,160
certainly. 10/10.
Yeah, certainly can vary

342
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,880
individually.
I really like to look at like,

343
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,640
animals as individuals.
And the more you listen to

344
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,360
somebody like Doctor
Billinghurst, right, he will,

345
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,440
first of all, he'll gross you
out with how much he talks about

346
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,680
how much dogs eat poop.
It's just constant, right?

347
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,000
That's like his favorite thing
to talk about, I think.

348
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,400
And then maybe second is raw
meaty bone.

349
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,600
So it I think it also depends on
like how much bone content your

350
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,640
particular animal, especially
your dog really thrives on

351
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,040
because we can get into like
these.

352
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,000
That's one of the things that I
don't like about the 801010 is

353
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
that people take it like gospel
and it's no please.

354
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,520
I use it as like a basic
proportional guideline.

355
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,680
And yeah, I mean, when I the
name of my companies, actually

356
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,280
Girls Gone Raw is the story of
my dogs and my cat.

357
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,360
We're all kind of low key sick.
Yeast infections, chronic UTI's,

358
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,960
whatever cancer.
Both my dogs had cancer at the

359
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,240
time and I had just left working
for Champion Pet Foods, which if

360
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,600
you don't know is origin in the
Canada.

361
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,800
So I left the world of kibble is
God.

362
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:07,480
And I was mortified about the
industry, first of all.

363
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,240
And we started doing DIY raw.
Oh, and if I tell you I went in

364
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,480
head first, OK, we we went in
head first.

365
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,360
I was buying like tongue meat,
heart, kidney, liver, pancreas,

366
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:22,760
yadda, yadda, yadda, which was
great.

367
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:24,840
But I became like obsessed with
it.

368
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,920
And I had my little thing, my
calculating, like how much bone

369
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,920
content is in this bone and this
bone.

370
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,000
And it's so overwhelming.
And, you know, I feel like

371
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,120
people expect me to in my
position and being kind of a

372
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:46,160
voice in this industry and
living in this industry, they

373
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,880
expect me to be more exact about
it.

374
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,320
I don't think I've measured my
dog's food in years.

375
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,800
I mean, it changes all the time.
What's their exercise level?

376
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,440
You know, they start to look
skinny.

377
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,560
We bulk up a little bit, start
adding eggs.

378
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,280
You, you know, they start to
look a little fat.

379
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,520
We cut back a little bit and it
varies all the time.

380
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,560
I switch it up all the time.
Different brands, different

381
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,240
supplements daily, things like
that.

382
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,960
That's a little controversial, I
feel like almost, but.

383
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,960
It it is I I find the same
thing.

384
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,400
I actually feed my pets
commercial raw just because

385
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,400
that's where I'm at.
In my life, I don't love

386
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,840
Steve's.
I I was.

387
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,480
I'm really just about Steve's
for years.

388
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560
And it's easy.
I'm busy human being, yeah.

389
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,120
Exactly.
I'm I'm I've got other things to

390
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:41,320
do and I also have really picky
animals, even my dog really

391
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,200
picky.
So if I can get a commercial

392
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,560
food that is ground, like the
bone is ground really fine and

393
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,080
she's not picking it out because
she will pick it out if it's too

394
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,840
big.
And if I try to add veggies on

395
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,080
top, that's not happening.
It's got to be mixed in.

396
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:02,320
So like it's just so.
Yeah, most of them.

397
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, for sure.

398
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:12,480
And so I find that too.
A lot of people come to me and

399
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:18,400
yeah, I, I do all day long have
covalent recipes.

400
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,920
But I talked to every single
person and I try and I'm like,

401
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,680
we don't have to do it this way.
Yeah, this isn't the end all be

402
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,080
all.
Like if this is what makes you

403
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,520
comfortable, we can do this, but
we don't have to do it this way.

404
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:33,360
Balance.
Over time.

405
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,480
Yeah, yeah, I, I think that's
one of my favorites too.

406
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,120
And I, I want you to talk more
about like exactly what it is

407
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,560
you do.
But before we do that, there

408
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,160
were a couple of questions that
I wanted.

409
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Yeah, sorry, I like I go off
from rabbit holes.

410
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,680
Very.
Quickly and.

411
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,200
Bring myself back and I'm like
how did I love ADHD or something

412
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,720
like that, OK.
Does feeding too much protein

413
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,280
have any risks?
Thinking about blood tests and

414
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,880
urine.
If it can show any abnormalities

415
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600
by feeding high protein.
I've got thoughts, do you?

416
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,120
Yeah, it's really hard to feed
too much protein, especially raw

417
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:11,600
meat.
You see really high protein in

418
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,840
kibble because it's sucked down
all the moisture and everything

419
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,160
is taken out of it.
It's basically isolated protein.

420
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,160
Especially if you're getting
chickpea or plant based

421
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,080
proteins.
In a fresh meaty diet it's

422
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,960
almost impossible to get too
much protein.

423
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,160
You'd be massively over feeding
your dog.

424
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,160
You would notice that before you
notice high protein in, you

425
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,600
know, values.
Well, and so a couple of things

426
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:43,560
I noticed is that our lab value
averages and veterinary medicine

427
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,560
are based on kibble fed dogs.
So there are some values that

428
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,200
are raw fed dog might be a
little, might be not always.

429
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,920
Actually.
Usually not, but can be a little

430
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,960
bit out of range because those
values.

431
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Are fun, right?
Blood urea nitrogen.

432
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,120
Yeah, blood urea nitrogen.
So, so that's always something

433
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:10,280
to, to that's, that's why one of
the reasons why you shouldn't

434
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,800
hold back, like have respectful
conversations with your

435
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,240
veterinarian, but don't lie to
them.

436
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,880
Because if you can have those
respectful conversations and let

437
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,280
them know that, yes, your dog
does eat a fully balanced raw

438
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,680
food, you know, however you want
to say it, raw food diet.

439
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,120
They can look at those numbers
and say, Oh, OK, well, I know

440
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:33,400
this is just a little bit off
because you feed a raw food

441
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,840
diet.
Hopefully that's how they see

442
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,880
it.
That's how they should see it.

443
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:43,040
But like you can know that going
in and there are, if you do DIY

444
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:47,080
raw feeding, you can do things
like HTMA testing to make sure

445
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,600
that you know all the minerals
and everything are in balance

446
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,680
and that you don't need to make
any.

447
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,880
They're they're informational to
let you know where you might

448
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,800
need to make some adjustments if
you're doing DIY, but.

449
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,920
Yeah, I don't mean DIY yes
definitely follow I wasn't I

450
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520
didn't want to imply with what I
was saying like just feed

451
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,000
everything all the time don't
worry about it.

452
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,200
I also, you have lived this life
for a long time and if you've

453
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,080
been doing it, you know
generally what proportions are

454
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,920
safe and I do follow general
guidelines.

455
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,640
So just to amend that.
I don't want people to cancel.

456
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,200
Yeah, no, I mean, I assume
somebody.

457
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,960
Like you was doing.
That I get it.

458
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:31,520
But also one of the other things
I think about when people ask

459
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,960
about protein specifically is
like urinary kidney health.

460
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,840
And one of the last things we
ever want to do for a dog or a

461
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:48,760
cat, even a dog or a cat that
does have is in some form of

462
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,520
like kidney disease.
We don't want to like that is

463
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,160
the first thing a traditional
veterinarian is going to want to

464
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,520
do.
Cut protein.

465
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,960
The problem with that, yeah.
The problem with that is when we

466
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,480
cut protein in a carnivore and
whether it's a scavenger

467
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,960
carnivore or an obligate
carnivore, they have to get

468
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,480
those essential amino acids from
somewhere.

469
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,040
So they are going to start
pulling it from their own muscle

470
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,320
mass.
So you're going to start seeing

471
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,320
muscle wasting and your pet may
actually suffer the effects of

472
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,240
muscle wasting long before they
would have ever suffered the

473
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,800
effects of kidney disease just
because you have decreased the

474
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,400
protein.
So there are other things we can

475
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,160
do to decrease like phosphorus
binders, because that's

476
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
ultimately what the goal is, is
to decrease the phosphorus.

477
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,160
So we can do that in various
ways.

478
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,440
Certain foods, I can't think of
any at the top of my head.

479
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,920
I would send people toward
Doctor Judy Morgan's kidney

480
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,560
diet.
I had a dog with kidney disease

481
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,200
and she lived with it for a long
time and we pretty much didn't

482
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,800
change too much.
We went full raw.

483
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,040
And my first tip to people, I'm
like, talk to your doctor.

484
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,440
Maybe find a doctor that's more
holistic because you know your

485
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,360
your Western doctors are going
to give you those banded fix.

486
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,520
They're going to put you on a
specialized prescription diet,

487
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:19,040
which I have big feelings about,
but it's not, Yeah, it's just a

488
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,000
Band-Aid fix.
It get those.

489
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400
Chickpea proteins, the plant
proteins out of those, because

490
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,120
that was really hard on their
kidneys, yeah.

491
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,960
It is well and like you were
just saying you made the switch

492
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,520
completely to raw and a lot of
times, especially if it's like a

493
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,880
stage one, maybe stage 2, just
switching from eating a dry food

494
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,640
diet all the time to eating a
high moisture diet all the time

495
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,240
is going to make a huge
difference in any of those like

496
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,600
urinary.
As soon as the word kidney or

497
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,480
urinary gets into anything.
Like I have a cat that has

498
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
fluted she basically stress or
just when she's having a bad day

499
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,800
she's blind.
So everything kind of stresses

500
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:03,400
her out blindish and she'll
start peeing blood and it's just

501
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,440
kind of like something like I
tried the the prescription food

502
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,240
at first because I felt horrible
for her.

503
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,680
It was like a move plus COVID
plus a baby stacked on top of

504
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,320
each other that spurred it all.
And now it just comes up every

505
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,920
now and the if the water bowls
dry for a day, she's Yeah.

506
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:25,080
So the only thing that's helped
me completely manage that and

507
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,000
stop it from progressing is
well, I wouldn't say the only

508
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,480
because I use a lot of the crazy
cat ladies supplements

509
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,920
proactively for her.
I use their urinary pH and their

510
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,440
gosh, what's the one with
enzymes?

511
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,600
I think catalyst.
Yeah, but is going to 100% raw

512
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,200
diet for her.
Even when I was trying to budget

513
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,320
myself.
And we do at the worst, a soaked

514
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,960
like Farmina with freeze dried
and we make it into like, you

515
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:57,560
know, complete mushy soup
basically and, and completely

516
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,480
cut all that went entirely to
the Steve's quest.

517
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,960
And I love that she's very, I
can like really see it coming

518
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,720
sometimes.
It's usually severe things that

519
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040
set it off.
And then I just start putting in

520
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,320
CBD urinary pH and she, she's
back to normal in like a day.

521
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,360
But it's yeah, moisture,
moisture, moisture.

522
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,600
And cut those harder to process
proteins, which you're going to

523
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,960
get in almost any kibble, grain
free, grain inclusive.

524
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:31,600
It's all kibble.
OK, Lauren, any plans to on

525
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,840
getting your product in stores
in Florida specifically Orlando

526
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280
I?
Have a couple stores in Florida.

527
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,200
I can't think of them off the
top of my head, but what I

528
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,640
always tell people is if you
want my stuff, a lot of times if

529
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,640
you tell your local stores that
there's demand for it, they can

530
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,440
reach out to me and look at my
stuff and start stocking it.

531
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,040
So if you reach out to me, I can
send you like my wholesale

532
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,880
information or you can have them
just reach out to me and we can

533
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,520
get them set up.
They can at least look around.

534
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,360
And then like I said, a lot of
times if independent stores know

535
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,560
that there's demand, they might
just not have heard of me or

536
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,640
send me your local store and
I'll reach out to them, one of

537
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,080
the two.
But yeah, definitely, I do a ton

538
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,960
of wholesale and there's a
million of them.

539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,680
So a lot of times we just
haven't heard of each other.

540
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,080
But yeah, for sure, Diane says.
I let my cat have some cooked

541
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,840
chicken skin today.
I hope that was OK.

542
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,680
I don't love cooked fats, but I
mean, every once in a while I

543
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,120
don't.
As long as they don't have any

544
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,320
pre-existing, yeah.
My cats a lot of butter.

545
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,080
Not usually intentionally,
usually they RIP it out of the

546
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,560
cabinet really.
But God, they're monsters.

547
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,760
I wish I had Darwin in here.
He's like, oh, he's if you see

548
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,800
me cringing while I'm talking
about my cats, I'm thinking

549
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,360
about him.
I love him so much.

550
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,840
But he was my boyfriend's
family's outdoor cat.

551
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,520
My boyfriend had found him as
like, I don't know, like 1/2

552
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,720
dead kitten hit by a car sitting
under a rain gutter, just like,

553
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,640
and then they took him and he's
an indoor outdoor cat, which you

554
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,080
know, it's a pretty, it's a
pretty safe area.

555
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,480
They have a farm.
And he disappeared last year for

556
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,680
like 2 weeks or something like
that around Thanksgiving.

557
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,360
And I was like, it's coyote
season Camden.

558
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,720
Like, I think you need to.
He's like, oh, he'll come back.

559
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,400
He'll come back.
And I was like, I was being

560
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,680
negative about it.
And it's we live in a very

561
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,360
pretty rural area.
So anyway, Long story short,

562
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,800
somebody found him like 4 cities
over with a broken leg under a

563
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,160
car and then brought him over to
the other side of the state

564
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,280
where she lived.
And whatever we got him treated

565
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,680
and he was this like perfect
little Angel snuggly, like so

566
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,800
sweet.
I was like, we're keeping this

567
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,920
cat like he's not going back
outside.

568
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,080
He's been hit by a car like at
least two times.

569
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,680
You know, he's he's running down
his lives and he is the most

570
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,440
he's in the tennis.
I mean, he can open cabinets.

571
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,000
He today broke two of my cups
just knocked him off the counter

572
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,920
because he was bored.
I mean, he'll do backflips off

573
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,719
you in the middle of the night.
He steals everything that even

574
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,440
once smelled like food.
He broke into a thing of like

575
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,520
Nesquik powder I left on the
counter made by some hot

576
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,639
chocolate.
I don't know, just he drags it

577
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,159
under the under the bed too.
So I found like a whole horde

578
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:27,880
one time, like a like a dragon
den of just food trash, any kind

579
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,560
of basting brush.
He loves those.

580
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,560
I always eats the bristles.
But yeah, he'll break into the

581
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,320
the cabinets and eat an entire
stick of like Kerry gold butter.

582
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,480
And I'm like, God, that's like 6
bucks a stick.

583
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:41,239
I'm going to get him in here.
He's so funny.

584
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,320
He's just like this looks like a
Russian blue, but it's probably

585
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,679
just a mutt, you know?
But he's so nice.

586
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,199
Oh, my God.
Like his mom's always.

587
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:50,960
Like I can take him back.
I'll keep him inside.

588
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,920
And look, I can't.
I just love him too much.

589
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,480
He's too amazing.
Yeah, too amazing.

590
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,240
But he's absolutely the bait of
my existence.

591
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,880
Does muscle wasting stop?
You have to put work.

592
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,600
There.
Yeah, theoretically, yeah, If

593
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,280
you can, If you can, if you can
get the animal to eat

594
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:16,720
appropriately, like the right
balance.

595
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,920
I would say that's definitely a
case by case.

596
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,960
Based organs, yeah, I think it's
going to depend on.

597
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,360
How that causes?
Yeah, How bad off it is and how

598
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,720
long it's been going on.
And yeah, I think that's that's

599
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,880
a, that's a tough one.
You have to.

600
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,960
It's definitely something
because I have senior dogs

601
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,960
galore and I had one that came
to me.

602
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,640
She's actually by my feet right
now, sunshine.

603
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,520
She came to me very like her
hips were like tiny, completely

604
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,360
muscle wasted, couldn't get
herself over just a little like

605
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,960
hop up into the door when I got
her and was just sick mange

606
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,280
everything like that.
I think she'd been eating trash

607
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,960
pretty much is how she wasn't
like emaciated because now she

608
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:06,680
eats like any trash.
And, and it took a while, but

609
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,160
yeah, I went full raw with her
pretty much right away and it

610
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,360
took a while, but then her
muscles, yeah, came back.

611
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,960
And so it depends on what the
cause is.

612
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,760
Is it something more, what's the
term idiopathic?

613
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:24,360
Is it a neurological thing or is
it a nutritional deficiency,

614
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,800
which I would almost call like
protein leaching from like an

615
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,280
inappropriate diet?
I'd call that more like a

616
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,920
nutritional issue.
And it's like taurine, too.

617
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,240
You can supplement proactively
and reverse some of the damage

618
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,720
done by, you know, enlarged
tart.

619
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:43,680
Yeah, yeah.
Because I I also think it even

620
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,880
if it is nutritional and you try
to reverse it nutritionally, you

621
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:57,560
also have that hurdle of your,
the muscle isn't necessarily

622
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,560
going to rebuild unless there's
a reason to.

623
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,720
So if they're already so that
off that they're like energy

624
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,960
level is really low.
If they're not even, they're not

625
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,720
getting any exercise if it's
going to be difficult to get

626
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,880
exercise.
Is the one I'm thinking of a lot

627
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:19,120
of people Myos is a supplement
of myos.

628
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:25,560
A lot of my dog sport people use
that for muscle building and I

629
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,800
believe that it was actually
recommended to me for senior

630
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,000
dogs because we had a little bit
of muscle wasting.

631
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,520
She was like 17 and my vet
recommended, you know, we could

632
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,480
do myos and for sunshine as well
myos.

633
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:45,000
Yeah, I have heard of that.
Muscle Formula supplement and

634
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,400
it's, I think it's a really cool
supplement because a lot of

635
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,840
people in our industry love it.
Yeah, green lip mussels.

636
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,000
Yeah, yeah, I've heard of this.
I have never used it.

637
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,640
I mean, I haven't really had a
reason to use it, but I have

638
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,360
heard of it and I've heard good
things.

639
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,360
Yeah, yeah.
So if you have a dog with muscle

640
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,000
wasting, look into that.
Talk to you.

641
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,040
If you have a holistic vet, talk
to them about it.

642
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,800
And I like to tell people too,
it's really hard to find good

643
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,160
holistic vets in most areas.
Honestly, I lucked out.

644
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,000
I moved to Columbus and
immediate was like, thank God I

645
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,360
moved closer to my holistic vet
that I've been driving hours

646
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:28,760
for.
And having a good integrative

647
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,600
vet on your team is game
changer, especially as your pet

648
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,320
comes into senior age, because
it's really easy to do what they

649
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,480
do to our seniors and just pump
them full of drugs to Band-Aid

650
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,800
patch issues.
And it it's really rough on

651
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,720
their bodies.
You know, there needs to be a

652
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,200
point where we say we're going
to do this just holistically and

653
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,520
then, you know, focus on health
span rather than lifespan.

654
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,000
And yeah, I have 212 year old
dogs.

655
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,880
My last been passed from cancer
at and she was 14, but she had

656
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,240
cancer since she was 7, did
everything holistically.

657
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,040
And then our one before that,
who was the other girl and girls

658
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,720
gone raw, diagnosed with cancer
I think around six or seven and

659
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:13,360
then passed away at 17.
Well, they had.

660
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,720
So we like our old girls around
here loud too, which it was.

661
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,000
It was pretty impressive.
It's hard to be mad about that.

662
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,440
Yeah, they got you got a lot of
good, good life out of them with

663
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,040
beans as you made Lola Blue the
Danes as the butter is popular

664
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,160
with their cats too.
Yeah.

665
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,200
And even Doctor Katie, when I
was talking to her, was like,

666
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,480
give them butter.
Do you have butter, ghee,

667
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,800
coconut oil, things like that?
Yeah, that's another thing.

668
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,360
I think that's changing with the
industries we're getting into.

669
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,000
The people that are talking
about butter being good,

670
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,520
cholesterol being OK, you know,
raw milk, we're getting back

671
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,720
into that, which is super cool.
Yeah.

672
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,080
So I think generally speaking,
we have two different buckets.

673
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,800
We have people who are looking
to do the best they can for

674
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:09,760
their pets from the start from,
you know, there's nothing going

675
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,160
on.
Everything's great.

676
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,840
They just.
Learn more and want to do

677
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,440
better.
And then we have the other

678
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,520
bucket where it's like people
are frantic because they're

679
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,840
like, I need to know everything
right now because my dog or my

680
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:21,680
cat.
Is sick, right?

681
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,960
Yeah, and I've been in both of
those buckets.

682
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Yeah, yeah, same and the.
Laver is hard.

683
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,080
It is.
It's really.

684
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,560
Frantic.
Really, really hard to kind of

685
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,640
wind yourself down and realize
that you are not going to learn

686
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:47,000
everything all at once and to
try to pinpoint where to start.

687
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:54,400
And for me, the, the some of the
most frustrating things are when

688
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,520
because people have we have been
conditioned for decades.

689
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,920
So we have this mindset of what
can I give my dog for X, right?

690
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,320
So even though they're like, I
want to do everything

691
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,720
holistically now, they still
have the mindset of what's up,

692
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:13,440
what holistic supplement can I
give you this instead?

693
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,640
And it doesn't, in my opinion,
it doesn't work that way.

694
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,280
We always have to start.
With food.

695
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:25,720
And treats or chews are really,
really good, like gateway drug,

696
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,320
but I'm going to call this a
gateway drug.

697
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,920
Oh, I said this the other day.
And so now it's my thing, it's

698
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,080
my term.
I'm going to forever say this

699
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,400
now.
Our pets trademark.

700
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,720
Yeah, our pets are pet food
injured.

701
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,680
They are pet food injured even
even a dog or a cat that is like

702
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:53,520
born today and raised from the
get go holistically, they still

703
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:58,440
have the genetics of the past
few generations to overcome.

704
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,920
So our pets, in my opinion are
pet food injured and we have a

705
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:08,760
lot to overcome with that and it
is always a good idea to start

706
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,280
with the food.
So with that, I would love for

707
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,760
you to tell me like some of the
offerings that you have.

708
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,360
And I know you wanted to talk a
little bit more about like some

709
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,000
of the things you were doing for
cats that were different and

710
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,960
softer.
And so tell me about your.

711
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,000
Products.
So I always tell people to one

712
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,120
of my first things I meant to
say this earlier is it is a fact

713
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,000
that modern pet food, the
nutritional balance of it was

714
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,360
based off of the nutritional
balance of a prey animal.

715
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,600
The fiber, the fat, the protein,
the blah, blah, blah, everything

716
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,720
pretty much except for moisture,
which we already know is an

717
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:46,000
issue in pet food, but it is
what it is.

718
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:52,360
So feeding whole prey is pretty
much the most perfect package

719
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,200
you can get.
And like I said, you know,

720
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,240
balance over time.
No pet food also is perfect.

721
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:00,400
I always tell people like don't
pick a food and only feed that

722
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,280
ever.
No food ever will cover all of

723
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,600
the gaps.
Your dog could process that

724
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,000
vitamin C differently than it
processes the vitamin C in a

725
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,160
different food, things like
that.

726
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:16,200
So we do a lot of whole and I
like to do kind of different

727
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,320
levels of it because not
everyone's willing to buy a dead

728
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,080
bird for their dog, you know
what I mean?

729
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,000
We have, I'd say like the whole
prey quail is one of the most

730
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,080
extreme.
We have the whole freeze dried

731
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,720
chicks like I already showed you
guys.

732
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,480
Really popular one is whole
rabbit heads.

733
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,240
So this has the brain, the eyes
and all sorts of really cool

734
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:44,480
secreting organs.
Again, not everyone's cup of tea

735
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,240
really cool things about it
though, because there's a lot in

736
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:51,440
the brain and the thyroid and
the pineal gland and all of that

737
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,000
that are dogs don't get
naturally that they completely

738
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,200
can benefit from.
I mean, look at what's the, the

739
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,160
company I was seeing out like
Primal Queen, they're really

740
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,640
pushing organ meats on people
now.

741
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,720
And people are like, oh, hold
on, that just changed my whole

742
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,280
hormonal balance.
And like, yeah, yeah, there's a

743
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,680
lot of pieces that we're
missing.

744
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,480
I tried.
I actually tried primal Queen

745
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:18,960
once but I have been taking
desiccated bovine like female

746
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,360
reproductive organs for a couple
of years and it's made a big

747
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,120
difference.
Yeah, and standard process

748
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,120
supplements are amazing like
that.

749
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,960
If you read the ingredients,
sometimes I'm like what it says

750
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,800
placenta, you know, it has like
all of these crazy things, but

751
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:44,280
to me there's so many amazing
vitamins and minerals and just

752
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,360
we're going to call them like,
you know, code Co nutrients and

753
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,320
things that if you have this and
this at the same time, it does

754
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,440
amazing things.
But if you only have this or if

755
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,880
you only have that, they just
kind of fall flat.

756
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:01,880
So when you feed the body as it
was meant to be, you gain a lot

757
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,400
from that.
And that really is, I think,

758
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,200
like feeding the organ meat and
all of that is medicine, you

759
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,800
know, coming from me.
I don't think I've eaten an

760
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,160
organ meat in my life.
I need to, but I was raised a

761
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,360
picky kid.
I'm I'm recovering.

762
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,600
Acceptance is the first step of
something.

763
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,280
So, so like I said, I have
levels, I have like the body

764
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,880
parts and this obviously to me,
I love that feed lots of

765
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,920
moisture to it.
And then I have like my

766
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,800
quartered rabbit frame.
I love this.

767
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,920
For me, this is the easiest way.
I literally took a whole meaty

768
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,520
rabbit and I have a video
actually on my Instagram that I

769
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,280
did.
It was very edgy for me because

770
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,040
I was like, nobody wants to see
these.

771
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,720
It's what I do is honestly
disgusting.

772
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:50,160
My, you know, my shoes are all
stained with rabbit blood.

773
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,960
And I was over at what Super
Zoo?

774
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,280
And you all were like, show us
the process videos.

775
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,400
And I was like, all right, I'll
do it.

776
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,320
So I went home and I filmed that
and people loved it.

777
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,240
I didn't get one angry comment.
I was really proud.

778
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,400
But we take a whole rabbit frame
and then we separate it into

779
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,880
four pieces.
We have the pelvis, the waist

780
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,520
with the kidneys and then two
rib sections.

781
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,640
And then they have like the
lungs, a chunk of liver on both

782
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:22,320
sides, and then the heart and
add that even just onto some

783
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,600
kibble.
I use that.

784
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,440
And then I'll feed something
like a greens mix with it.

785
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,760
And there's so much nutrition in
that.

786
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,640
And having all of those natural
fats and things like that.

787
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,000
I will never tell you side note
that anything of mine is better

788
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,680
than feeding the raw version of
it.

789
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,960
And I stand by that.
Raw liver is not even comparable

790
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,560
to dried liver.
Raw eggs are not comparable to

791
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,320
dried eggs.
But this is the best that a lot

792
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,440
of people can do and it's easier
to get.

793
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,360
It's more accessible.
I don't always want to have a

794
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,560
thing of raw liver in my fridge.
It's stinky.

795
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,880
It's a really gross texture.
I'm glad I'm.

796
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,960
Not the only one.
It oxidizes really fast.

797
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,440
I think it's the iron in it.
And we used to make this big,

798
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,520
big vats of raw chicken grind,
and we do a lot of chicken liver

799
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,520
in it.
And then, I mean, within 20

800
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,680
minutes, it's green and smells
like farts.

801
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,760
And that's like the Oxide.
Yeah.

802
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,240
It's not my favorite, but then I
also have my Franken buddies.

803
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,360
We're backwards here, but this
is Frank and Bunny.

804
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,080
And then I also have the Frank
and duck.

805
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,080
And there's something known as
the Frank and diet, which is

806
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,440
kind of a part of prey model
feeding, which would be like,

807
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,800
you know, feeding the whole
animal and that's feeding like

808
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,040
pieces and parts.
So this has a head, 2 legs, 2

809
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,480
feet, a tail, and a whole prey
rabbit sausage.

810
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,920
And I'll pull one of those
sausages out.

811
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,160
I have it right here.
These are the whole prey rabbit

812
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,800
sausage and these are my
absolute most popular product

813
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,640
right now.
I think aside from the like

814
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,640
heads and rolls, this is an
entire rabbit ground into a fine

815
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,960
sausage.
We have some batches kind of

816
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,440
making their way in that have
the hide ground in as well, and

817
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,400
we're kind of playing with that
formula, but this is essentially

818
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,240
an entire rabbit with that
heart, liver, kidney, heart,

819
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,200
liver, lungs, kidneys.
What am I forgetting?

820
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,800
That might be it, but.
It's everything but the head,

821
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,560
right?
Is everything is everything but

822
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,040
the heads, feet and intestines.
So we do move the the intestines

823
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,440
for just like sanitary reasons,
but it keeps a lot of those

824
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,120
vital organs.
So that's the whole rabbit meat.

825
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,840
Like if you were to buy straight
from a farmer, it would just

826
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,040
stick in the grinder.
So this is a really awesome

827
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,640
product.
Pets really gravitate towards

828
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:48,960
it.
You can tell because it has a

829
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,520
lot of that organ meat and it's
a really rich, but then it's a

830
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,400
really good way to get some of
that bone content into animals

831
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,560
that don't like to chew.
Like I think you said, your dog

832
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,560
will pick out chunks of bone.
A lot of dogs won't chew.

833
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:07,120
My cats won't chew bones except
for one of them that likes the

834
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,440
quail.
And you can kind of see it's a

835
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,840
really cool texture.
It's really crunchy and you

836
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,400
could even kind of smash it like
you're smashing like Oreo

837
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,120
cookies, whatever, and rehydrate
on top of food.

838
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,640
I use this one.
We're traveling to kind of

839
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,280
supplement foods and things like
that.

840
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,880
So these are kind of the, yeah,
the levels of whole prey.

841
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:33,200
And I will say I am actively
working on a whole prey with

842
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,920
feathers, quail grind, and I
want to add hopefully some

843
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,160
functional foods into that as
well.

844
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,080
I'm talking to a mushroom
supplier around us and some cool

845
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,400
things like that.
But I have to get through the

846
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,920
holiday season.
The holiday season always smacks

847
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,160
me.
And then I get to January, I'm

848
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,080
like, yay.
And that's when wholesale for

849
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:56,880
somebody picks back up and I'm
like, OK, so I know Elf on my

850
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,280
Shelf.
I'm expected to do with Elf on

851
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,800
my Shelf.
And I'm like, honey, Mommy needs

852
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,640
to.
Yeah, I'm just kidding.

853
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,840
I love her.
You're inviting Faye into your

854
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:05,840
home.
That's not a good thing.

855
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,320
I feel weird about him.
I'm like, why is he rummaging

856
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:16,160
around?
Yeah, everything, Remy says.

857
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,720
How can we get your you stocked
in our stores?

858
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:20,880
She must have recently joined
but.

859
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,560
Shoot me a message and I can
send you either a link through

860
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,520
Instagram that'll go towards it,
or if you just go to

861
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,400
girlsgonerawpet.com, there's a
wholesale tab.

862
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,400
Fill out the form on the top and
I'm sending out wholesale

863
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,600
emails.
Actually today you just shop

864
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,320
online with it like normal.
I just have to get you a

865
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,320
password and the information.
Awesome.

866
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:48,880
Yeah, I think our cats
especially I, I find that

867
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,080
there's one company in
particular of food that I feed

868
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,880
that my dog loves it.
But I actually find that my cats

869
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,960
like it even more because it
does have a much higher organ

870
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:08,200
content than most commercial raw
foods and more of like a prey.

871
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,120
Model.
Well, it's even more than that.

872
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:17,120
Like it's a lot of heart, like a
lot of heart and liver and

873
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,400
kidney is significantly more
than 5% and.

874
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,040
Those where a lot of people
think of it as an organ meat,

875
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,360
sorry to cut you off, Think of
it as an organ meat, but it's a

876
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,240
muscle.
But it's just one of those

877
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:31,120
amazing muscles.
It is because it has like the

878
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,760
nutrition of organ but is
technically right.

879
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,760
Technically a muscle, but it has
way more than 5% kidney, way

880
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,640
more than 5% liver.
And you know, I think that's

881
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,160
scary for a lot of people that
are already feeding a raw food

882
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:48,920
diet.
They're like, Oh no, no, no, it

883
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,000
has to be 5%.
My cats especially are just

884
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,560
like, they freaking love it.
They're scything on it.

885
00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:02,560
And I mean, granted, for me it's
anecdotal, but there are lots of

886
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,720
people.
Isn't this is fairly popular in

887
00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:09,080
our world and.
You'll have to tell me what it

888
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,000
is.
I'd love to try it because my

889
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,440
cats are like picky but not
picky.

890
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:17,000
It's more texture.
And I like, I got to the point

891
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,040
where like when I was living
with my parents, we had like 8

892
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,520
cats between US and all of them
like the Steve's Quest, which is

893
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,160
their prey model formula.
And I was like, we're sticking

894
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:29,600
with it.
That's it.

895
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,960
Yeah.
I mean, they like my cats like

896
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:39,880
Steve's, they like Small Batch,
but the green juju they are

897
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,680
just.
Oh yeah, that's just going to

898
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,800
say green juju.
I was wondering if that's what

899
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,280
it was.
Yeah, so.

900
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,360
It's something that I just I
really play with a lot.

901
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:57,440
Even even when I balance for
like an individual recipes for

902
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,920
like individual dogs, I will if
they're healthy, I.

903
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,560
Will.
Test out more than 5% liver

904
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,480
because I'm like, here you go,
let's see how we do.

905
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,680
It and it's something you can
play with.

906
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,680
Yeah.
And it's like it doesn't have to

907
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,760
be Yeah, it can be something you
kind of figure out.

908
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,800
Like I said you have every
single animal is different.

909
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,400
You can't feed 1 the same and
expect it to be the same.

910
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,840
Like Scarlett if you probably
counted the calories are

911
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,440
Rottweiler.
If you counted the calories of

912
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:31,720
what I got her, it would be so
far from what the AFCO I guess

913
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,560
requirements and stuff are, but
she's thriving.

914
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:39,600
She lost like 40 lbs when I came
into her life as like a 11.

915
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,920
I think she just turned 12 year
old Rottweiler and she's like a

916
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,480
puppy sprinting around her
arthritis episodes completely

917
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:52,280
dropped off.
And like, yeah, Sunshine was

918
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,320
super sick when I got her.
And their, yeah, their diets

919
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,360
are, if I fed them What it was
recommended to give their age

920
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,720
and weight and everything, they
would be balloons.

921
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:06,480
Yeah, it was my lab.
My lab was a 45 LB, like, lean

922
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,280
machine.
She got like 1/2 of a Steve's

923
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:15,000
Patty as a meal and was, yeah,
an absolute meal, meal machine.

924
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,760
Yeah.
And everyone's like, wow, she's

925
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,880
so skinny.
Adam Rottweiler supposed to look

926
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:24,880
like a cinder.
Blah.

927
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:31,840
Yeah, yeah, there's, there are a
lot of we, we've kind of made a

928
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,600
lot of things normal for our
pets that really shouldn't be

929
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:41,840
and then stigmatized things that
should be normal like the trees

930
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,680
that you made.
I, I branded myself a

931
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:53,160
professional dog body shamer and
it's, it's not, I'm not sure I'd

932
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,680
say it's my best trait, but
honestly, like people need to

933
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,840
hear it because it just it, I'm
just like, you are completely in

934
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,800
control of that.
I've gotten nicer about it.

935
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,560
I figured out better ways to.
Work.

936
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:13,520
Yeah, it really is.
One of the best things we can do

937
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:20,720
for the health and lifespans of
our pets is to bring them back

938
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:23,720
to a normal weight.
And so many of us don't know

939
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:33,520
what that even looks like,
because we as humans barely know

940
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,040
what it looks like for us
anymore.

941
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:40,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Somebody said they'd like to see

942
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,080
my pets.
I'm trying to get Sunshine out,

943
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,320
but she is.
I got old ladies.

944
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,240
They're snoring behind me,
Scarlet.

945
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,760
I can't.
My cats are.

946
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,720
I'll show you my doggy.
You say hi.

947
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,960
There's Kimberly.
The sweater queen herself.

948
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,240
Hi, Kimberly.
I love those ears.

949
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,000
This is Sunshine.
We're dealing with some

950
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,680
allergies right now, and she's
struggling a little bit.

951
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:11,160
Oh.
No environmental deep.

952
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:18,040
Is I think it was brought on by
flea.

953
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:23,200
We definitely found a couple.
I think they're just like living

954
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,840
in our yard for some reason.
So we've gone nuts on that.

955
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,760
And I've always done all of the
same holistic flea stuff my

956
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,560
whole life and it's just not
cutting it here since I moved to

957
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,200
this house and it just sent her
down a spiral.

958
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:42,720
So now she stinks, but we're
doing a lot of different stuff

959
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:45,680
to try.
And it's definitely like, I

960
00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:52,400
understand now after her why
people get pushed to Apoquel

961
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:55,080
Because I'm like, there was one
point where she was like covered

962
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:59,960
in hives after God knows what.
And as soon as I think it gets

963
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:02,560
better than it gets worse.
And then chewing holes in

964
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,800
herself and I'm like, I'm doing
everything right.

965
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,560
I'm doing everything I do.
You know what I mean?

966
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,280
It's frustrating.
But when I got her, she had like

967
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,080
no hair.
She was greasy, sting, teeth

968
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,520
rotting out of her mouth like
little.

969
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,000
And I was like, oh, I need that
one.

970
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,720
Yeah, I foster failed her.
She was my 25th foster dog,

971
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,400
26th.
Maybe she's trying to steal the

972
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:26,680
treats on her.
And yeah, I foster failed her.

973
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:27,920
She's the absolute light of my
life.

974
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,440
She's adorable.
She goes everywhere with me and

975
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,400
then Scarlett snore down here.
Scarlett.

976
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,120
Yeah.
And I have 4 cats.

977
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,240
Would not.
I don't know, I'd recommend

978
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,200
having 4 cats.
Scarlett, Good morning.

979
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,120
Sorry I got a little off top in
here.

980
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,520
That's OK.
Yeah, so I think, you know,

981
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,560
whole prey is amazed.
I I very much appreciate that

982
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,960
you said that, you know, raw
would be even better because we

983
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:06,720
got the moisture right where
which is in itself like a Co

984
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:16,440
nutrient to to the food and but
doing the dehydrated is also

985
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,880
like incredible, an incredible
addition.

986
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:24,520
It can also be anything easier
for travel, which you may

987
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:33,480
mention and training for sure if
if you want to use it that way

988
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,360
and just adding enrichment to
your dog's bowl Meal

989
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,560
replacements.
I think you also mentioned that

990
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,280
too.
So you know, we often talk about

991
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,200
doing like raw meaty bones for
meal replacements, but doing

992
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:52,080
whole prey is is also a great
way to do meal replacements.

993
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,840
Because that feels more gaps
too.

994
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:01,280
And yeah, for sourcing reasons,
it's the the availability of

995
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,680
having air dried or freeze dried
meaty bones and, and whole

996
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,000
treats like that is amazing
because like I'm lucky to live

997
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,240
in an area that has a lot of
cool farmers.

998
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:15,200
I could go out and buy a beef
liver and a rabbit tomorrow if I

999
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,680
wanted to.
But I've tried, I've tried the

1000
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,400
actual whole prey feeding before
and, and ironically, I didn't

1001
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,400
have the stomach for it.
My dog also was like, what do I

1002
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,880
do with it?
Yeah, I love the idea of that.

1003
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:33,040
But we need to be realistic.
And yeah, and like you said

1004
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,560
right in the beginning, it's
like a gateway drug.

1005
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,040
I always tell people that I'm
like, they're like, why do you

1006
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,160
do like chicken jerky?
Like you have so many more

1007
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,320
exciting things.
I'm like, it is.

1008
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,880
It's a mind opener.
They come in, they see chicken

1009
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,880
jerky.
Oh, my dog loves chicken jerky.

1010
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,760
Oh, like were you feeding before
we talked about the recall the,

1011
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,800
you know, possibly China sourced
chicken that had the I can't

1012
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,960
mella melamine.
Yeah.

1013
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:08,800
So let me talk about that.
And then, you know, we're able

1014
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,200
to then it gets into food and
oh, they have chronic yeast

1015
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:13,880
like, oh, I have some kefir back
here.

1016
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,080
Have you ever thought about
addressing the gut and then

1017
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,240
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then, you know, maybe next

1018
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,920
time they try a chicken foot and
then next time after that they

1019
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,920
try a duck head.
And then after that they're

1020
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,080
like, my dog loved it.
We're going to go for a rabbit

1021
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,680
roll.
You know what I mean?

1022
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,400
And it is kind of like I, I tend
to grade my farmers market

1023
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,080
booths from like PG, PG-13 and
Radar.

1024
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,680
So I have like my jerkies and
the bone broth and egg powder.

1025
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,600
And in the middle is like rabbit
sticks and the quartered rabbit

1026
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,800
Franken bunnies.
And then the end is like the

1027
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,440
hairy cow ears that are like the
size of my head.

1028
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,880
And I was just talking to Kiwis
distinguished goods yesterday.

1029
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,600
She's like, Oh my God, your beef
years are huge.

1030
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,800
I'm like, they're huge.
Like have you have you seen

1031
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,960
Carol right now?
I'm like I said, look up that

1032
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,480
was thick Ohio grown cows.
Apparently the difference is

1033
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,200
ours.
I'm completely I sold out of

1034
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,760
them right now, but the
difference on ours, we have this

1035
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:14,880
base that's like this thick
around and it's definitely just

1036
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,080
happened.
I think it I just did it.

1037
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:23,280
Oh, there like there we go.
Oh, technology.

1038
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,320
But yeah, like I like to grade
it.

1039
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,480
And then people come in they're
like and like go that way, that

1040
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,560
way.
Yeah, blinders like, you know,

1041
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,520
cuz it does scare some people.
But every now and then I'll

1042
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,720
bring the whole quail or the
chicks to a market.

1043
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,720
And it's fun seeing people.
They're like, that's disgusting.

1044
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,960
I'll take five of them.
I'm like my guy, right.

1045
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,520
And it's funny.
I love having those

1046
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,880
conversations.
That really is what drives me

1047
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:59,560
because in the economy, it's
hard for moms to have a career

1048
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,160
that also fulfills them.
And that's not a blanket

1049
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,680
statement.
That's just kind of a general

1050
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,080
statement.
A lot of times they're pushed

1051
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:10,560
into whatever role works with
school schedules and then kids

1052
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,960
get sick sometimes or bite a kid
at school and need to be picked

1053
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,640
up or, you know, every now and
then I want I want the

1054
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,040
flexibility to take my son to
the zoo for an entire day in the

1055
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,280
middle of the week.
And I don't have to ask for

1056
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:27,440
permission to do that.
So I'm super lucky that I have

1057
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,520
that family flexibility and I
get to talk to people every day

1058
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,040
and do something that fulfills
me and then go to super zoo and

1059
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,440
meet Karen Becker and Rodney
Habib and I'm like sweating.

1060
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,680
And you know, I admired you and
watched your stuff for so many

1061
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,120
years.
So I'm like, I'm in such a cool

1062
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,240
spot right now that I feel like
I'm actually making a bit of a

1063
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,920
difference in the world.
For sure.

1064
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:52,160
A lot of us get to do that.
Well, and that reminded me

1065
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:56,280
because I, I intended to say it
earlier on and I, I didn't, but

1066
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,960
I think we, I got down the like
conspiracy rabbit hole in my

1067
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:07,080
head, But you know, the idea of
even feeding commercial foods to

1068
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,000
our pets.
I think talking about moms,

1069
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:16,520
that's, but the marketing that
they did to women, especially

1070
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:24,080
around the like 50s and on was
very much, and, and this is

1071
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,400
documented.
This isn't a conspiracy, but

1072
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:31,560
very much they wanted women in
the workplace so that they're

1073
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,840
getting 2 taxable incomes in
every household.

1074
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:39,920
And so they create things to
market to women to say, look,

1075
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,120
you can, you can go out here and
earn money so we can collect

1076
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,680
taxes from you.
And then in the meantime, you

1077
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,600
don't have to put the time and
energy and effort and love into

1078
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,960
feeding your kids and your pets
and all the things, right?

1079
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,800
Like that's part of it.
And I think that's also part of

1080
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,800
like the awakening that a lot of
people are having is that, you

1081
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,400
know, there is no such thing as
work life balance.

1082
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:10,320
You do have to choose your hard,
but for women especially, like

1083
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:16,080
more embracing the like feminine
roles again and realizing that

1084
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,400
you can do something in your
life that fulfills you and that

1085
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,480
you're passionate about and
still take care of your kids and

1086
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,680
take care of your pets and do
those things that like fill you

1087
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,560
up as a female.
And it's, and it's annoying to

1088
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,480
me that that's a controversial
thought.

1089
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,360
Like if you say that on some
platforms you'll get beat up and

1090
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:38,240
I'm like.
Yeah.

1091
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,240
It's very curious, corporate
girly and have a Danny.

1092
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,560
Go for it.
If that's what absolutely fills

1093
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,960
your cup, go for it.
You know what I mean?

1094
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,960
But I'm like, I my kid is so
cool.

1095
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,400
I also could not spend all day
with him.

1096
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,360
And and I'm a person that has to
work.

1097
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,200
I have to if I wasn't working,
like if I was in a position

1098
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,280
where maybe I didn't need an
income, I would still volunteer

1099
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,280
full time.
I'd be like, heck yeah, I know I

1100
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,120
can do the stuff that I don't
have to worry about getting paid

1101
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,600
for.
I used to work at the zoos and

1102
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,000
the Raptor centers and stuff
like that.

1103
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,600
And they're like, we can't
afford to pay you.

1104
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,960
And I'm like, I can't afford to
keep volunteering, you know?

1105
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:15,960
But it's the most fulfilling
work.

1106
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,560
So I am so deep on the crunchy
mom side of the world.

1107
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,400
It's that's why I'm like, I'm
lit on fire about everything

1108
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,480
that's happening right now with
like the Food Babe, the

1109
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,360
Kellogg's push and everything.
Like I'm out there like picking

1110
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,240
up because it's so cool.
I'm like, finally somebody's

1111
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,560
listening to us.
Like I, I just want to be able

1112
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:43,000
to have better choices for my
kids pediatrician and I could

1113
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,520
have an entire social media page
just on my crunchy mom stuff.

1114
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,080
But it's, you know, I can barely
manage this one.

1115
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:53,920
But it's it's a wild world out
there for parents trying to do

1116
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,160
things cleaner.
I know I would really love for

1117
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:04,000
it to just completely like
places where we can just label a

1118
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:09,720
lemon a lemon and then the non
organic lemons like they need to

1119
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,600
be labeled as.
I don't know.

1120
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,360
But like, we need to come up
with a label for glyphosate

1121
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:17,520
lemons or something.
I don't know.

1122
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,960
We're like, now it's a peel.
I'm like, I don't always have

1123
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,000
time.
Sometimes my kid grabs an apple

1124
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,720
off the shelf and just starts
eating it.

1125
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,520
And I'm like the appeal, like,
you know, it's now it has heavy

1126
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,560
metals and a wax coating and
things like that.

1127
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,080
And, and it's, it's, it's like
all consuming.

1128
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,000
I'm in a really, like I said, a
really lucky place with my pets

1129
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,960
where I'm surrounded by really
amazing company.

1130
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,400
So my choices are easy and I
feel really comfortable.

1131
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,560
But every time that I go out to
grocery shop, yeah, I just want

1132
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,600
to flip it over.
Have you ever tried to find

1133
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,560
pepperoni that doesn't have BHA
or BHT?

1134
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,640
You can't.
Like I found one, one time at

1135
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,960
like Meijer or something.
And my son loves pepperoni, but

1136
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:02,440
I'm like, yeah, you know, my, my
brother-in-law passed away from

1137
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,880
a childhood cancer.
He, you know, was in his 30s,

1138
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,800
but it was like a childhood
lymphoma or sarcoma.

1139
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,560
And so I talked to them and
she's like, was it what we fed

1140
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,400
him?
I'm like, there's don't you

1141
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,760
can't beat yourself up because
that first of all is not your

1142
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,160
fault and crappie kibble is not
pet owners fault.

1143
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,360
That's the industry's fault.
But we're hopefully going to be

1144
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:27,440
working on on some of that false
marketing and and corruption

1145
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,000
like I said, but.
Yeah.

1146
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,840
In fact, that was like kind of
the second-half of what I wanted

1147
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,800
to talk to you about.
But maybe we can schedule

1148
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:40,200
another because we brought this
up at Super Zoo that like Quick

1149
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,640
Live that we did where like we
were like trying to remember

1150
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,160
like what is called the like
green washing and and pet food.

1151
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:52,320
And I looked it up and according
to ChatGPT, it's called either

1152
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,960
health label.
I'm sorry, health washing or

1153
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:59,200
clean labeling.
So that would be cool to talk

1154
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,840
about.
And then again, kind of that

1155
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:06,360
rabbit hole of understanding
all, all of those really vague

1156
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:10,320
terms.
And I, I recently published an

1157
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,400
episode with Isabel where we
talked about the per act because

1158
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,279
if that goes through and it
looks like it before the this

1159
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:20,040
election, it looks like it was
going to go through.

1160
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:27,600
I don't know now, but it really
is going to be so detrimental

1161
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:33,560
for pet food consumer.
I've heard it and as soon as you

1162
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,439
start saying I'll I'll it'll
drop my memory.

1163
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:41,920
Yeah, the PER Act is they're
basically so the FDA is ending

1164
01:08:42,279 --> 01:08:49,160
their understanding with AFCO
moving everything over to the

1165
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:54,800
Center for Veterinary Medicine.
And if you read through the PER

1166
01:08:54,800 --> 01:09:00,160
Act, it is so vague, there's a
lot of holes in it.

1167
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,800
It's going to open up.
So pet foods that you and I

1168
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:07,120
feed, I don't think will change
because they're small,

1169
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,200
transparent companies.
They're also voluntarily putting

1170
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,520
things on their labels that they
don't have to, Right.

1171
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,359
I actually was, I was
reprimanded for putting

1172
01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:17,960
carbohydrates on my label even
though it's 0%.

1173
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,279
They're like, you can't have it
on there.

1174
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:21,000
And like, what I want to.
Yeah.

1175
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,160
Like you want to change it.
Yeah.

1176
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:28,279
So.
But for big pet food for the

1177
01:09:28,279 --> 01:09:33,439
majority that's I think we're
probably still well around 90%

1178
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:38,880
of at least people in the US who
are feeding big pet what I call

1179
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:44,720
big pet food, you know, the big
kibble companies and but.

1180
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,439
It's it is akin to big pharma.
It's very big.

1181
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,359
Food now is one that I don't
think people are talking about

1182
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:55,760
enough big food.
It is it's going to give them so

1183
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,760
much more leeway.
It, it, the, the one thing it

1184
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:04,880
does state that is very
concerning is that basically, if

1185
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,320
an ingredient does or does not
make it into that batch of food,

1186
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,600
oh wow, you don't have to change
the label.

1187
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,720
Like people don't need to know
like it's, it's OK.

1188
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:19,040
It may or may not be in there.
That like, yeah, gosh, that's

1189
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:20,480
something.
Then like every time something

1190
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:21,960
comes up on, I just internalize
it.

1191
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,920
I definitely, I could do an
entire like 2 hours on that

1192
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,000
because I've worked in the pet
food industry and I've gone down

1193
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,480
so many of the rabbit holes and
it's absolutely like I almost

1194
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:37,720
want to call it abuse.
Because it's, it's certainly

1195
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,160
abuse of power.
It's, it's abuse of the trust

1196
01:10:41,440 --> 01:10:46,480
that people have, abuse of
marketing claims like they, it

1197
01:10:46,480 --> 01:10:48,760
should not be allowed.
And that's why I say like, I'm

1198
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:56,920
actually a little concerned that
if we don't have a reform in the

1199
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,720
pet food industry at the same
time we're having reform in the

1200
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:02,960
human food industry that.
Pet food is going to get way

1201
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,320
worse.
RFK Who's our pet food?

1202
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,080
RFK do we find?
Susan.

1203
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,280
Susan Bixton.
Yeah, just let her loose.

1204
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:14,560
Right.
Right, Yeah, because it's every

1205
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,640
time I see Oh my God, I got a
Snapchat filter.

1206
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,800
I think he was, it was either
Royal Canyon or like whatever

1207
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,760
one of those like a pet food
Snapchat filter.

1208
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,880
I'm like, get off of my phone
and it was, it was like a puppy

1209
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:32,600
playing around and I'm like
that's it's so deceptive.

1210
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,320
It's very deceptive.
It's so deceptive.

1211
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,280
I would like PET food to be
labeled like pharmaceutical

1212
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:41,360
bottles, like a yeah, I want
matter of fact.

1213
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,640
Brings up a whole other topic
because I've not found people

1214
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,560
the.
Commercials, the labels or

1215
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,200
whatever in the back I want,
yeah.

1216
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:54,080
Well, yeah, that, and I've
talked about this on my podcast

1217
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,800
before too.
Like unless you're getting your

1218
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:00,760
prescription from like your
Costco pharmacy or a compounding

1219
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,160
pharmacy, when was the last time
your veterinarian gave you the

1220
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,880
package insert for the
prescription that they're

1221
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:10,280
they're just giving your pet?
Like you have to ask and they're

1222
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:16,360
like, no, it's, it's fine.
And I'm like, I, I know it's

1223
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,760
probably fine.
Just would like to know.

1224
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:27,200
I also I'm a little, I'm a
little opinionated about

1225
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:32,800
vaccines as well, because no
animal that is not completely

1226
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,000
healthy shaped receive a vaccine
period.

1227
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,360
I recently, I think that was
yesterday, I saw that they're

1228
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:42,360
adding lepto to required
vaccines.

1229
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,720
I've heard that too.
That's insanity.

1230
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,400
I'm insanely.
Lucky because my dogs are old

1231
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:52,240
and I won't be giving them any
more any more vaccines.

1232
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,800
If they tighter, they'd be
completely, you know, covered.

1233
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,640
But it's like I have to have an
exception letter to get my dog

1234
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,560
groomed and I get it and you
know, rabies is terrible and it

1235
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,520
is making, you know, it's kind
of rearing its head again.

1236
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:11,760
I've seen videos recently.
So I, I do believe in

1237
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,880
vaccination.
I'm a, you know, I'm a student

1238
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,600
of science.
I do believe in evidence based

1239
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,360
medicine.
But that's exactly why you also

1240
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,120
believe in titer testing, right?
So.

1241
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,920
The whole, the whole booster
shot, yeah, I could go on

1242
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,240
forever about this, but the
whole booster shots yearly thing

1243
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,360
doesn't.
If you know anything about

1244
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,840
vaccines, it doesn't really make
sense because yeah.

1245
01:13:39,480 --> 01:13:42,360
Yeah.
I could go on about it, but it's

1246
01:13:42,440 --> 01:13:45,320
it's, yeah, I just think that
there's so much out there just

1247
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:49,000
praying on well meaning pet
owners and it disgusts me.

1248
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,400
And that's why I'm like,
regardless of I could shut this

1249
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,840
company down and I honestly
might even go harder on the

1250
01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,360
Instagram because the voices out
there like yours, like Karen

1251
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,800
Becker, like the fact that we
now have a moderately mainstream

1252
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:09,520
source and it's not being
called, you know, snake oil and

1253
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,280
it's not being called woo woo.
It's factual.

1254
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,080
It's amazing.
So I'm like, finally there's

1255
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,560
some uptick.
But yeah, I mean, I agree, we

1256
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,600
need like a Susan Thixton or
somebody out there just knocking

1257
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:27,680
some people down.
And yeah, luckily we have like

1258
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,440
Judy Morgan's doing a great job
and people, a lot of our

1259
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:32,320
industry is now starting to go
to AFCO.

1260
01:14:33,440 --> 01:14:40,800
It just is kind of too much of a
big beast to take on from a

1261
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,880
grassroots scale.
So there has to be something,

1262
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:48,120
has to be something else.
Yeah, yeah, kind of keep

1263
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,960
plugging away.
And then I was going to talk

1264
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,160
about for a second, sorry,
borders and bites, you said, how

1265
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,040
do you feel about open farm raw
mixed kibble?

1266
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,440
I wanted to talk raw.
Mixed kibble is one of those

1267
01:14:58,440 --> 01:15:08,680
things that kind of, you know,
irks my pet food marketing brain

1268
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:17,240
because it's usually a lot more
money than just adding some raw

1269
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:21,480
food to your kibble.
It is great marketing because

1270
01:15:21,480 --> 01:15:24,600
now they're getting the people
that hear that raw food is

1271
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,480
great.
Open from generally is a good

1272
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:30,160
food.
It's one of those that I that I

1273
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,840
would feed, but the raw mixed
kibbles to me like just go get

1274
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:37,920
some great raw and add it, add
it in to me.

1275
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:39,400
To me, it's just kind of a
marketing plug.

1276
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,960
I agree with that, I think I
even did an episode about it.

1277
01:15:44,440 --> 01:15:46,520
What?
Garlic's posed up by the door.

1278
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,600
She heard your dog.
She's like, come here, Scarlett,

1279
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,200
what do?
You think of homemade cooked

1280
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,760
meat diet for cats with an added
completer?

1281
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,320
I think it's better than kibble.
This Scarlett.

1282
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:00,880
Oh, my goodness.
She's our.

1283
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,440
I call her like my junkyard dog.
She's just big enough to scare

1284
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:07,200
the people that need to be
scared.

1285
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,600
But she's she's she'll take your
knees.

1286
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,920
Yeah, she's the girl.
She's like the perfect man's dog

1287
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,240
probably to be.
But she's also an Angel.

1288
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,080
She drools constantly.
Sweet, sweet baby.

1289
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:24,240
Yeah, and 12 for a Rottweiler is
crazy, given the fact that when

1290
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,360
I met him, he was feeding just
whatever off brand food from

1291
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:31,080
like a feed supply.
I did it was like 65% carb and

1292
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,840
I'm like she's like, what do you
think of this?

1293
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,080
I think it was our first date.
He's like, this is the food that

1294
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:37,120
I get.
Could you tell me what you

1295
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:38,240
think?
I'm like how?

1296
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,720
How deep do you want?
To do you want to grow?

1297
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:43,880
I usually ask people how long
you got.

1298
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,520
Yeah.
Are you sure you want to get

1299
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,480
into that?
I got a couple hours for you,

1300
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,680
right?
All right, Well, yeah, let's do

1301
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,000
this again.
Let's talk about what did we.

1302
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,320
What did I say?
Clean labeling.

1303
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,960
Maybe at some point in theories
and rabbit OH.

1304
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,520
My God, I could go on to.
Do it I could.

1305
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:07,360
I could go on forever and ever
and ever and ever and ever and.

1306
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,800
I'm so, so deep on that side of
things right now and there's

1307
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,640
once you're in, you can't get,
you can't.

1308
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,680
I think it's like Candace so and
there's something said like, if

1309
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,000
you're not a conspiracy theorist
by now, who?

1310
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,240
What are you doing?
I know how.

1311
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,680
It's not even conspiracy
theories because it's so once

1312
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,240
you start to look at it, you're
like, Oh my God, like what

1313
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,920
happened with the hemp industry,
The whole history of how pot

1314
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:32,400
became illegal.
Yeah, it has.

1315
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,040
Nothing to do with it being a
drug.

1316
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:35,280
No.
It has to do with.

1317
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,480
The.
Yeah, yeah.

1318
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,120
Yeah, it's it's insane when you
really start to go down the

1319
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,160
rabbit holes.
And I'm telling you every time I

1320
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:46,600
watch a Joe Rogan episode so
that I find a new one to go

1321
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:47,360
down.
So.

1322
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:51,360
I've been, yeah, I watched like
3 Joe Rogan episodes a day.

1323
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,280
But yeah, we'll have to do that
another time.

1324
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,480
I'm like, I have to pick up my
kid here so I can go for another

1325
01:17:57,480 --> 01:17:58,880
six hours.
God knows.

1326
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,440
Yeah, that's why I think I'm
almost bad.

1327
01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:04,560
All of my fangs and fur podcast
episodes that I've done are like

1328
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,480
2 hours long and he's like, all
right, yeah, coming into this,

1329
01:18:07,480 --> 01:18:09,920
let's try to stick around 45
minutes and it's like an hour

1330
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:11,760
and a half long.
I'm like, I'm so sorry.

1331
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,280
It usually has to be like the
explicit thing after it because

1332
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:19,640
I dropped a swear words, but
it's yeah.

1333
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,080
Oh my goodness.
All right, well, it was so nice

1334
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,080
to talk to you.
And I hope people do check out

1335
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:30,400
Girls Gone Raw Pet Health.
And if you want to talk to your

1336
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:34,800
indie pet store about carrying
it, please do because they can.

1337
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:40,040
They can order wholesale
directly from her website and no

1338
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:41,920
excuses.
So talk to your indie pet store

1339
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,520
about carrying it.
All right, I think, you know,

1340
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,040
I'm not going to fight that
Diane.

1341
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,280
I will have my cats on here next
time but they are chaos and they

1342
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,040
have to be touching me all the
time and it's extremely

1343
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,160
distracting.
Most of them like to sleep like

1344
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:01,360
right here.
They're like, so yeah, take take

1345
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,040
your breath away is that.
I'm a crazy cat lady for sure.

1346
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,400
Say my love.
Well, it was, yeah, it was

1347
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:09,800
awesome talking here.
Sorry to do that forever.

1348
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,680
I know you too.
Have a good rest of your day and

1349
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:14,840
we will plan another one soon.
Sounds good.

1350
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:16,960
Thanks for hopping on guys.
It was good answering all your

1351
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,080
questions as well.
Absolutely.

1352
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:20,720
All right.
Have a good rest of your week.
