Welcome Dog Lovers!  Today I am thrilled to have Dr. Oscar Chavez, Chief Medical Officer and founding executive at JustFoodForDogs LLC.  Their daily mission is to help as many pets as possible live longer, healthier lives through proven, balanced, whole food diets.  Dr. Chavez is a veterinarian and business executive with a progressive career founded upon a solid commitment to pet advocacy, integrity, education, and sound veterinary principles.

Why does JustFoodForDogs go to such great lengths and financial backing of these studies?

Dr. Chavez, when was the company started and why did you start a new research advisory board?

Who is on the advisory board?

Why did Just Food for Dogs decide to put so much money behind this research?

Let’s talk about the first study that as done with the Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine and the University of California, Davis.  What was the premise of that?

What were the findings?

So, what should people look for when buying dog food? 

And JustFoodForDogs is also the only fresh whole-food company to publish digestibility studies in a peer reviewed journal is that right?  What were the findings of that digestibility study?

How many foods were tested?

And I understand that a second digestibility study is scheduled to be completed later this year?

What is the JustFoodForDogs business model?  Where can people buy your products?
