Wag Out Loud
Summary: The Wag Out Loud pawdcast started as a passion project that would help all of us to be the BEST advocates for our dogs’ health and wellness. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, the WOL pawdcast is hitting a nerve with dog lovers all over the world. Why is it that over 50% of our dogs are getting cancer? I believe it is because of the extreme toxic load that are dogs are taking on from not only their poor diets, but from their environment as well. We can do so much better for our dogs, but first we need to be educated on how to make the right choices for our dogs, to help them lead longer and healthier lives. Our short and succinct episodes (about 30 mins each) feature experts in the fields of canine health, nutrition, and wellness as well as recommendations about products and services that I've used, know, like and trust and have found to enhance the lives of dogs. My name is Krista and I am the host of the WOL pawdcast. After receiving my certification in canine nutrition and noticing that most dogs are getting sicker and living shorter lives, I have become obsessed with bringing experts and dog enthusiasts together in committed community. Together we can learn about the most updated science, treatments, protocols and products that will benefit both the mental and physical health of our pups. I continue to learn something every single day. This show mostly features topics and opinions from those in the holistic and integrative veterinary health industry. We address things like dental health, over vaccination, nutrition, benefits of feeding raw, gut health and the immune system, common canine diseases, aging issues, behavioral issues, cognition and so much more. You love your dog, right? And you want to provide them with the best life possible. Let’s learn together. No matter where you live, your financial status, how many dogs you have, if they are a pure breed or mixed, we have something for every dog parent on the planet. Dogs are such amazing creatures and are a part of our families. As research continues, we are learning more and more about how they enhance our lives. It’s time to give back all of the unconditional love that our dogs show us. They are here to teach us so many things…we just need to know how to listen. Nothing and I mean nothing, in the dog industry is regulated. That includes food, treats, supplements or the manufacturing of dog products. It really is like the wild, wild west and we have to do our own research on products, ingredients and materials. We can’t be fooled by false marketing claims. This is the only podcast that focuses on practical, actionable tips and strategies to help your dog to thrive. Tune in for the latest research, science-based information, natural alternatives and inspiration for ensuring you are making well-informed decisions, when it comes to your dog’s health and happiness. Just think of Wag Out Loud as the ultimate resource for the dog lover who is on a quest to provide the best care for his/her canine companion(s). I am the guide that helps you to navigate the landscape of conflicting and confusing information in the ever-growing pet health space. Listen in to all of the Wag Out Loud pawdcast episodes and be sure to tell your dog-loving friends about the Show. Your dog will thank you!

Welcome all dog lovers! Are you ready to learn something new today? With us are TWO very special guests. We are honored to have Alex Jarrel (Co-founder and Chief Experience Officer) and Dr. Ryan Honaker (Director of Microbiology) at NomNom, one of the leading direct to consumer pet food brands. Alex started the company to fuel her passion for educating pet parents about the power of pet nutrition and portion control. Dr. Honaker is an expert in microbiome manipulation, infection therapeutics and microbial community profiling. He leads Nom Nom’s research and development team as they are currently analyzing the gut microbiome of dogs and cats through DNA sequencing techniques. Alex, let’s start with you. Can you share with us why you started NomNom? What did you see as lacking in the pet food industry? What makes your products different from others? Why did you decide to offer fresh food vs processed? I’d love to quickly share my experience with the NomNom products. Dr. Honaker, let’s talk about our dog’s microbiome health. When we think of bacteria a lot of times our minds go to thinking that’s a bad thing. What exactly is the microbiome? I’ve heard the microbiome referred to as the “forgotten organ”. Why is that? What functions does the microbiome support? Do you want to talk about Dysbiosis and its causes? Any last word on diet and the microbiome? Could one of you share info about your Insights program? Are you working on any new products right now? We want to thank our friends at NomNom for offering our Wag Out Loud listeners an amazing discount!

Hello dog lovers! I can’t wait to bring on today’s guest Marg Shadid. As with many dog owners, Marg had to juggle family, career and loving care for her 4-legged family members. After many, many years of striving for a responsible, fun time with her dogs…it finally dawned on her, keep it simple and efficient, hence the Let’s Go Design Dog Walking Utility Jacket. Well, I think I’m the typical dog owner who walks their dogs every day. I of course want to be warm and comfortable on the daily walks, but I also need to make sure I have everything I need like my phone, tissues, treats and poop bags. I know other people who bring an extra leash and maybe a tennis ball. That’s a lot of stuff! Marg, you have a solution right? I bought my jacket at a dog show over 10 years ago and absolutely love it! I always get compliments and really love the versatility. How did the concept of the jacket come to be? Why name it K-Roscoe? Can you go through all of the features? And you have several patents right? How do you wash it? Are they for both men and women and what sizes do you carry? What colors are available? What is your business model? Where are the jackets sold? Any plans for any additional products in the future? You also sell to groups/organizations as well, right?

Hello everyone! Thanks for being here and for wanting to learn more about keeping your dog healthy and happy. I’m so excited about today’s guest. With us is Chelsea Kent who co- founded Hero's Pets in Littleton, CO in 2007. She is a regulatory specialist, attends all AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control Officials) meetings and consults for multiple non-profits, manufacturers, retailers and consumers. She also authors educational articles on a variety of veterinary and social platforms. If you have not yet listened to Chelsea’s previous episode on The Ins and Outs of the Dog Food Landscape, I highly encourage you to check that out. Lots of great information! Chelsea, as an owner of a boutique pet store, I’d love to get your opinion on the various types of retailers that carry dog food: Boutique vs Big Box vs Grocery Stores. If someone was to call a manufacturer directly, to inquire about their products, do you have examples of certain questions they should ask? Can you briefly touch on manufacturer marketing strategies and labeling terms (such as "premium”)? What other misleading terms do manufacturers use? Chelsea can you share with us how Hero’s Pets came to be? What makes your store different from others? What questions should we be asking our local retailer about the food they carry? In closing, what is the one thing that you advise dog parents on regarding how to choose the right food?

Welcome Dog Lovers! Thanks for tuning in. I am so excited to have our guest Gary Tashjian on the show today. He is the founder and CEO of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products, which delivers fresh dog and cat food across the US direct to pet owners’ doors. Driven by his passion for helping his own dogs, Gary created Darwin’s to give pet owners convenient access to the best nutrition possible. Now 15 years later, Gary’s passion has never waned, and Darwin’s continues to be a leader in fresh pet food. When Gary isn’t at Darwin’s, he’s spending quality time with his wife and two retrievers, Molly and Maci. Gary, can you share with us the story of how the company came to be? What makes your food different from others on the market? I’ve heard that you prefer to call your product "real" food rather than "raw" food. Why is that? I wanted to congratulate you on being included on the Truth About Pet Food’s 2020 List. For those not familiar, can you share what you had to do to be on that? What’s your business model? Where can people find your products? Why do you believe raw is the best way to feed? I know that you’ve had warnings in the past from the FDA. Can you speak to that? What are your thoughts on salmonella in raw food? Is there really a health risk and should people be concerned? Why do you think that Darwin’s has such a loyal following? Do you encourage your customers to rotate products and proteins? I know that many people with larger dogs, and/or maybe with more than one dog cannot afford to feed a completely raw diet. What if someone was to mix Darwin’s raw with kibble? Is that better than not changing their food at all? Where do you see the pet food industry going? Is it getting better and are more dog parents feeding fresh food? What are you and your team working on now? Darwin’s Natural Pet Products? darwinspet.com FB @rawdogfood IG @darwinspetfood SPECIAL OFFER: Right now Darwin’s has a special introductory promotion going on.

Scott Grillo is the National Sales Manager at FurZapper which is a patent-pending product that was created to provide pet owners with a simple, self-cleaning product that will help keep pet fur off of your laundry. I thought we’d first just do a quick class on Shedding 101. Shedding is part of the natural life cycle of hair shafts within the hair follicles. All hair shafts, even our own go through phases of growth and shedding. And these phases affect the rate of hair growth and will vary by breed, age, hormones, environment and overall health of the dog. These factors also contribute to the length and texture of the hair. So, if you have a dog, you most likely go by the motto, “no outfit is complete without dog hair”. Scott, tell us about how you came up with the FurZapper How does it work? Why is the FurZapper better than lint rollers? Does it remove in the washer and dryer? Is it safe for your skin? How long do they last? Any tips on how to launder most effectively? Like do fabric softeners or dryer sheets make a difference? I would assume that these are great for dog parents and groomers as well? I’m sure they go through a lot of towels in their line of work. What is your business model? Where are they sold? How does the glove work? Any other products that you’re developing? Any success stories?
