Dash Dog Food: This episode is brought to you by DASH Dog Food.
Compared to figuring out who you’re going to draft, your dog’s food should be a much easier
decision. DASH is a fresher, more transparent approach to dog food, made with grass-fed beef
and organic chicken from humanely raised animals. Most fresh dog food brands stop at “human-grade,” but DASH goes further by telling you where the protein comes from. There are no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no fillers — just clean protein you can feel good about serving.
