If you’ve ever stood in the pet food aisle feeling completely overwhelmed by the options—grain-free, raw, organic, life-stage formulas, food that costs more than your own groceries—this episode is for you.

Dr. Beth Barrett breaks down the fundamentals of pet nutrition across dogs, cats, horses, and even goats, sharing science-based guidance on what “well nourished” actually looks like for each species.

From the critical role of macronutrients and micronutrients to why cats absolutely cannot be vegan, Dr. Beth demystifies nutrition with practical, no-nonsense advice. She tackles the big questions pet parents ask every day: Is expensive food actually better? What are “fillers” really? And why is your vet always recommending omega-3 supplements?

This episode is a must-listen for any pet parent who wants to cut through the marketing noise and make informed choices about what goes into their pet’s bowl.
