Mystery labeling behind the food we are feeding our dogs
with Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT
You can read a dog food label front to back and still have no idea what is in the bag. That is not an accident — it is how the labeling rules are written.
Dr. Judy is an integrative veterinarian with over 40 years' experience, best-selling author of eight books, and certified in pet food formulation for commercial production by Kansas State University. She was trained in how the bag gets made — so when she reads a label out loud, she isn't guessing.
What you'll get, every episode
Vets, farmers and dog people who'll tell you what the bag won't. No brand pitches, no scare tactics — just plain explanations of what you're buying.
Nobody changes how they feed because of a nutrient chart. Every episode has a dog in it, named, with a before and an after.
Every guest ends by naming one thing you can do this week for under $20. Twenty-five minutes, one action. That's the deal.
Coming this season
Six themes we're working through, one guest at a time.
Label literacy and the ultra-processing question.
Safe handling, transitions, and the budget math.
The Florida farmers and homesteaders who supply us.
Why the most common reason a dog walks in is skin.
Seniors, cancer, hospice, and feeding at the end.
Behavior, enrichment, chewing and movement.
Why a dog food shop makes a podcast
The most valuable thing that happens at The Wild Canine isn't the transaction. It's the conversation across the counter — someone arrives with an itchy dog, a hard diagnosis, or a bag they no longer trust, and leaves with a plan.
This show is that conversation, for everyone who'll never drive to Alachua. We're a small family-run raw food and nutrition store, sourcing as much as we can from local farmers and homesteaders — and we'd rather you understood your dog's food than simply bought ours.
