Daniel Schulof is the author of Dogs, Dog Food and Dogma: The Silent Epidemic Killing America’s Dogs and the New Science That Could Save Your Best Friend’s Life and is the founder of KetoNatural Pet Foods. He joined us on All My Children Wear Fur Coats to discuss his book and his company.
Daniel is a lawyer turned entrepreneur, activist and science-minded individual who backs his claims with substantial research. His book has been called “The most rigorous and probing canine nutrition book ever written.” His book has two primary theses – 1. Dietary carbohydrates are the fundamental cause of obesity in dogs, and 2. Big pet food companies (he calls them, “Big Kibble”) are shaping our thinking because 90% of kibble products have carbohydrates as a primary ingredient. Yet, dog food companies are not required to report the levels of dietary starch or sugars in their foods. Read more

What an interesting show! Our guest was Caleb Gilmore, President of Suzie’s Pet Treats. Suzie’s was co-founded by Richard Squire and Caleb Gilmore. Richard was a family friend of the Gilmores and entrepreneur who encouraged Caleb to leave college and pursue a career as an independent business owner. Caleb took the leap and has never looked back.
Suzie was Richard’s dog and the inspiration for Suzie’s Pet Treats. After Richard had a back operation and some experience with prescription opioids, he discovered that DBD provided relief from the pain and inflammation. Suzie was aging and having difficult getting up sometimes. Richard started giving her a CBD treat and the results were amazing – for both of them! Read more
Monkey’s House is not what you might think. It’s not a place for primates, it’s a dog hospice & sanctuary founded in 2015 by Jeff and Michele Allen. I’m so glad these two people met each other because together they are doing some pretty fantastic things. How they met is pretty interesting because they were fixed up on a blind date where they went horse back riding. They didn’t want to disappoint the person who introduced them, so they kept dating until they fell in love.
Michele is a RN, BSN, member of the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care, and a 2017 CNN Hero Recipient. She spends her days, double full time (that’s 24/7/365) caring for the dogs as Monkey’s House. Jeff leads a dual life helping both people and dog. He serves as a manager in Human Resources for a pharmaceutical company and runs Monkey’s House with Michele. Their sanctuary has been recognized for its outstanding work saving and caring for hospice dogs and was awarded Rescue of the Year in 2017 by World Dog Expo. They live on a small farm in southern New Jersey in the vicinity of vineyards and corn fields where their dogs have plenty of room to play and thrive.
