Join Jessica, Pam & Janet as we talk about some of the things that we come across ALL THE TIME and what we'd like everyone to know! It's true that common sense isn't all that common, and while we are teasing to some degree, and we know that we have intentionally educated ourselves in an area that most haven't, some things would be pretty obvious if we just stopped and thought logically about it. That's what this episode is about. Stopping, removing biases, and thinking logical...

We can get into the weeds of pet food ingredients and why we want this over that, but a...
