We’ve all heard the phrase “you are what you eat,” and we all know about the importance of eating a healthy, balanced diet (even if we don’t always do a good job with it). But what about our pets?

Today Julie Fudge Smith and Tina Spring are joined by veterinary nutritionist Dr. Laura Gaylord to discuss the importance of good nutrition and how to begin putting together a healthy diet for your furry friends.
