Carol Smeja of The Original Mine Pet Platter

Carol Smeja joins us for this episode, and goes in-depth about the instinctual way dogs should be eating their food…just like their relatives and ancestors, the wolves, do in the wild.

Carol Smeja's career has focused in the area of psychology and sociology which culminated in her earning a Ph.D. and teaching.

After leaving academia, she applied these roots in understanding the psychological and social dynamics of eating while working in and improving health & diet with government agencies including the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention).

More recently, she has applied her extensive research and diagnostic training in understanding the eating behaviors of our dogs & cats by studying the natural and instinctive behaviors of their ancestral roots.

And from observing her own dog Pipa, she and her husband developed a solution - The Mine Pet Platter.

So what is "the feeding equation?" - It's how you combine what you feed and how you feed that food to your pet.

As Carol notes on why pet platters are best for your pets...

Dogs smell in 3-D just like, you know, our eyes bring the two different visions together. They smell in 3-D. And so respecting that nose is absolutely critical. I always say you want to make sure how you're feeding your pet develops a positive relationship with food, not a negative relationship with food. Do that by respecting their nose and not having anything project into it.

How do we create a complete natural feeding experience?

You want to make sure that you have a broad area to feed off of. You want to eliminate any potential issue that they see in terms of perceived threat or or their food being taken away. And you want to try to resemble a carcass as much as possible by spreading food across, but also having different pockets of protein and different varieties of food. Let them sniff out and explore.

During the episode, we talk about a couple of books...

Taming The Wild from Brian Bailey

Dr. Conor Brady's Feeding Dogs Dry Or Raw? The Science Behind The Debate

Carol is the owner of The Original Mine Pet Platter, and specializes in an area that is often overlooked in the pet world: the significant importance of how we feed our pets.

Tips For Caring for Senior Dogs and Cats

Tips For Caring for Senior Dogs and Cats

Lauren Back from Girls Gone Raw is back in the studio. She knows her stuff when it comes to taking care of older dogs and cats.Aging is a normal part of life, and at some point all dogs become seniors. The important thing to know is that senior dogs have different care requirements than young ones.As a dog ages, they become less mobile, their hearing and sight aren't as good as they used to be, and they are more prone to various diseases. Still, getting older isn't a death sentence and dogs can spend their golden years healthy and happy.Join the Wildside for updates and discounts!Learn more about Steve's Real Foods.Learn more about Northwest Naturals.Learn more about Lifetime Pet Wellness Center.We are a local, independent, and owner-operated shop that is committed to providing the dogs and cats in our hometown of Columbus, Ohio with the best possible foods, supplements, and gear available.

We Are A Guest on Gussy's Gut with Dr. Ian Billinghurst

We Are A Guest on Gussy's Gut with Dr. Ian Billinghurst

We get to speak with "The Father of Raw Food." I am joined by Lauren Becks from Girls Gone Raw for this interview.For over 50 years, Ian has practiced veterinary medicine and espoused one consistent message; feed your dog a raw, evolutionarily appropriate diet. He's a best selling author in the areas of raw pet food, whole food nutrition, not only for companion animals, but also for humans. Add to that he is a recognized expert in nutritionist, animal acupuncture, and agricultural science. When you Google Ian's name, you see he is considered the "father of raw feeding" and the is the one that pioneered the acronym "BARF" for biologically appropriate raw food (or "bones and raw feeding"). Dr. Ian Billinghurst began his companion animal veterinary practice in 1975. In the mid 1980’s, following years of clinical research, he noticed the devastating effect that commercial foods had on dog and cat health and was amazed at the profound healing power of raw feeding.Enjoy the episode!Plus, we get to speak with Dr. Billinghurst a bit after the "official recording."
