Many dog owners are so focused on what to feed their dogs that they don’t think about how they’re feeding them. But the way we feed our dogs can have a major impact on their digestion, behavior, and overall health. In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, we’re joined by Carol Smeja, creator of Mine Pet Platter, a unique and science-backed solution to many of the common dog feeding issues. Carol joins us to share the science behind how dogs eat, including what we can learn from watching wolves and wildcats. We’ll discuss why bowls are not the best way to feed your dog and break down what to look for in a slow feeder, from color to material to shape. Episode Recap: How dogs eat in the wildBenefits of the Mine Pet Platter How slow feeders can help your dogHelpful for picky eatersTips for using Mine Pet PlatterWhat are your pet’s bowls made of?The color you serve your dog on mattersHow to learn more about Mine Pet Platter Use code RADIO for 15% off your first order at https://cbddoghealth.com/Use code MYCO10 for 10% off your order of https://mycodog.com/Episode Resources:Get yours at Mine Pet PlatterGet 10% off your Mine Pet Platter with code CBDDOGFollow Mine Pet Platter on Instagram and Facebook Have a question about your pet that you want answered on the podcast?
