The Learning List
If you are tired of feeling insecure and unsure about what choices to make for your pet’s wellbeing, this list is for you.
When I was twenty-three years old, someone taught me how to read pet food labels. At the start of the lesson, I was looking forward to learning something new that could help me on my journey of pet parenting. By the end of the lesson, I was stunned and sick inside over the unthinkable things I learned. The WRONG things that I learned. My naivety was instantly snatched up and I was forever changed. From there I set out to learn everything I could so that I would be able to make a difference. Two years later I opened Pupologie and I have been helping pet families avoid the traps and navigate the toxic terrain ever since.
This is a compilation of the literature, videos, and links that have been most helpful to me in navigating the world of pet nutrition and the overlapping world of commercial pet food. Through these resources you will learn everything you need to know: the good, the bad, the despicable.
