What's Really in Pet Food

In this episode of The Pampered Pooch Christine and Vicki share insightful information on What's Really in Pet Food.  With permission from the Animal Protection Institute (API), they discuss the common misconceptions of what consumers think they are buying and what they are actually getting.  Christine and Vicki share information from API to help you determine exactly what is in the food you give your dog.
