Episode Details

You usually only see the finished part: the episode, the recommendation, the product I say I trust. There's a lot that happens before any of that reaches you.

This week I'm recording from SuperZoo, the largest pet industry trade show in North America, walking rows of new gear, meeting founders, testing products, and having real conversations with the people building things for dogs. Not because it's trendy. Not because it's exciting. Because if I'm going to suggest something for your dog, I want to know it's actually worth your time, money, and trust.

In this short bonus episode, I take you behind the curtain: how I decide which brands and tools I'll stand behind, and how all of it connects back to one goal, making life easier for you and your dog.

If you've ever wondered how I choose what to recommend, this is that story.
