Show Notes

    Join host Mary Lucero to explore and challenge ideas stemming from new research.  These ideas suggest that because plant based diets for cats and dogs may have a lower greenhouse gas footprint than meatier pet foods.  But are they shortsighted?  Can cats and dogs stay healthy eating carbohydrate rich plant foods?  Can we find strategies for pet care that are more aligned with nature?
