Why do pets get boosters every year?💉

The ultimate goal of antibody titer testing is to move towards a more personalized approach to pet care—one that respects the individuality of each animal and makes medical decisions based on data, not tradition or medical habits. By utilizing vaccine antibody titers, pet owners can ensure their pets are protected without unnecessary boosters, aligning with the principle of “first, do no harm.”

With changes in pet food regulations, new formulations, repeated recalls and company buyouts shaping the pet food landscape, it’s more important than ever to know how to choose the right brand for your dog.

This Monday, we're kicking off our highly anticipated 2025 Pet Food Review to give you the tools you need to pick the best pet food for 2025, no matter your budget. Whether you're feeding a high-end kibble or a more affordable option, we'll help you navigate the ever-evolving market and ensure your pup gets the nutrition they deserve.

Veterinary nutritionists, pet food formulators and industry experts are joining us to take an in-depth look at top-selling dry dog foods. We’re covering everything from budget-friendly brands to premium and veterinary prescription options. But here's the catch: Top-selling doesn’t always mean top-quality.
We’re reviewing over a dozen dry and air-dried dog foods, including brands like Farmina, Purina Pro Plan, Open Farm, Blue Buffalo, Acana, and more. We'll also cover:

⭐️ How to evaluate kibble and identify top-quality ingredients
🐶 Are feeding recommendations making your dog overweight?
🔎 Do companies' claims hold up under scrutiny?
🏭 The impact of formulation changes, regulatory shifts, and company acquisitions on pet food quality

Plus, stay tuned because in the coming months, we’ll be reviewing gently cooked, freeze-dried, and fresh pet foods as well. There’s a lot to cover, but we’re here to help you make informed decisions that fit both your dog’s needs and your budget.

We hope you'll join Monday, Jan.20th at 11:30am EST live on the Inside Scoop! (edit to new time)
