Perception of Pet Food Influenced by Emotions
Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (11-24-2018) #598: Featuring Ryan Yamka, Jeff Franklin, and Traer Scott. Tracie invites Ryan Yamka — a board certified nutritionist for companion animals — to discuss the way perception of pet food is sometimes influenced by owners’ emotions, and how “grain-free” pet foods became misperceived as preferable; Jeff Franklin, subject of Matthew Duffy’s FRANKLIN: THE MAN BEHIND THE UNITED STATES COMMANDO DOGS, talks about the book; Traer Scott was the photographer half of the photo book CITY OF DOGS and talks with Tracie about the powerful connection between people and their dogs across all ethnicities and locations.
