If you're interested in dog health and wellness then at some point you've probably heard the word microbiome. The microbiome is critical to human and pet health, and overall longevity. In this episode, I talk to two microbiome experts, Aashish and Ryan, who are leading important microbiome testing and research at NomNomNow. This episode is FULL of information that is critical to our pet's health including how fresh foods are beneficial to them. This episode is basically a free pet microbiome seminar from the experts at the forefront of this amazing research!

**ALSO NomNomNow recently released microbiome testing kits and I'll have a way for you to get one for your pet for only $10 (normally $160), be sure you're subscribed to my email list so you don't miss the opportunity.**
