Candace & Dr. Marty Goldstein of Dr. Marty Pets to talk about something every pet parent needs to hear: what you feed your pet early on can make or break their health down the road.

So many of the vet visits, the expensive treatments, and the sleepless nights worrying about a sick pup or kitty can actually be avoided with the right nutrition from day one.

Dr. Marty broke down exactly what to look for in your pet’s food and why quality matters way more than price when you think about the long game.

Prevention is always cheaper than treatment, for us and for our pets.

Come talk to us at Dante & Dory’s about what’s actually in your pet’s bowl. We’re happy to help you get it right from the star
