Shannon Cutts has a very unique perspective and gift that can provide us with a kind of confidence we don't typically get. What is it? Y...

When I was a new pet mom, I did everything my vet told me to do . . . including feeding the pricey bags of food sold in her office. I had 6 cats and they all were on different foods, even some "prescription" foods for weight management. Fast forward and I now know that there is no "medicine" in those foods AND they have no requirements for additional feeding trials to prove effectiveness. That said, there are some conditions that require altered nutrient profiles of food. That's why I'm so gla...

Lab-grown (cultured cell) meat was just approved for sale to humans in June 2023 by the FDA.

Here are the links to everything discussed in todays epsiode: Human Food Made with Cultured Animal Cells: https://www.fda.gov/food/food-ingredients-packaging/human-food-made-cultured-animal-ce...

My cat recently had 17 teeth extracted. I know what you’re thinking - WOW, how did you let it get that bad?! Well, I did and I didn’t. Romeo has resorptive disease and we’ve been doing dental cleanings regularly his whole life. This past year, he developed hyperthyroidism and we had to get his thyroid levels back to normal before he could be put under anesthesia for a dental cleaning. Once we got his thyroid levels back to normal, I scheduled his cleaning and we were expecting extractions. I w...

I've called the pet food world "The Wild West" before but you may not have known quite why I feel this way.

Pet supplements, like human supplements, are abundant and confusing. The market is saturated and we often seek out guidance on which ones to choose and why. When I see a company doing things right, I have to talk about it. For a long time, I scrolled past the ads for Poli Pet Products because I thought it was just another supplement company, but I decided to take a deeper dive and I think they are filling a void in the market. "But Jessica, how could the market be so saturated, and yet they a...

I am so stinking proud of a client I've been working with to help her dog who has food sensitivities that I wanted to talk to you about her dogs case. At only 2 1/2 years old, she was already being told by her veterinarian that they had no other options for her dog. She asked me for help and through some very emotionally and yes, even physically, difficult work over the past few months, we've successfully gotten her dog through a rotation and elimination diet and the dreaded yeast die...
