Here's what we discuss:

0:05.1

Hey friends, welcome back to the show.

0:06.8

This is Gina, creator of the fitnessista blog and brand.

0:09.8

I'm so excited that you're here today.

0:11.5

Thank you so much for tuning in and really excited about today's episode with Hannah Went.

0:17.0

Before we head into that, I wanted to tell you guys about We Feed Raw. So I've been making

0:22.7

Maisie's foods since she was a baby. She's our mini Sheepadoodle and I absolutely love making it.

0:28.6

But the ingredients are really expensive and also it's of course time consuming, but I love to do it.

0:34.6

But I was really excited when I came across we feed raw because they have

0:39.4

human grade meat. It also has organs in there. And you can use it either if you make your own dog

0:50.8

I had been so curious about raw food for dogs, but I was a little bit intimidated,

1:13.7

It saves me a trip to the farmer's market and it's also less expensive, which is great.

1:18.9

And also I can give it to her plane. So sometimes she'll just eat it plain as the topper on top of her kibble.

1:24.7

They also have a raw dehydrated kibble, which is another great option if you're

1:29.5

looking for a healthier kibble option. So I feel like we care so much about what we feed our children

1:35.4

and what we feed ourselves, but our furry friends are such an important part of our family.

1:40.3

And just like us, what they eat can impact their hormones, immune system, energy levels,

and it makes such a huge difference for them.
