About

This episode is sponsored by The Farmer's Dog

Clients are asking about fresh dog food, but there are still some misconceptions surrounding these diets out there. In this episode of The Vet Blast Podcast host Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, talked with Brandon Stapleton, DVM, head veterinarian and vice president of animal healthcare at The Farmer’s Dog, live at Fetch Kansas City.

Throughout the episode, they discuss what separates gently cooked fresh food from raw diets, what digestibility and “human grade” actually mean, and how fresh food may affect hydration. Stapleton also explains how individually portioned meals can take the guesswork out of weight management and how highly palatable, complete and balanced food can help senior, cancer, and postoperative patients keep eating.
