60. Helping Your Dog Heal With Nutrition
There have certainly been times when walking into a pet store, let alone a healthy pet store, has been overwhelming. Whether I just didn’t know what to get because my cat or dog was sick, or I knew I wanted something better for food but the labels were confusing.
That’s why I’m so glad that there are more and more healthy pet store owners and pet advocates out there to help.
Krysta Fox and Jeff DiRe own Pug and Hound Apothecary in Illinois and along with their instafamous pug Bruce, they are helping pets and their parents find healthier alternatives to food and medicine.
As you’ll hear in today’s episode, Krysta and Jeff have an extraordinary background in the pet industry and each have a passion for helping people and their pets.
Oh, and don’t let the fact that they’re in IL fool you, no, they also offer online consultations … so stay tuned because I have a feeling you’ll fall in love with this super duo as much as I have.
P.S. I bet you can’t guess what their favorite foods are! Make sure to stick around til the end to find out!

I own Willy and Xena, two incredible raw-fed rescues that thrive on their amazing diet and wellness protocol. I continue to educate myself daily and get the word out about the fresh food movement!
