ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the treats you give your dog every day are getting in the way of their care?
In this episode of Unleashed Curiosity, Donie Yamamoto and Dr. Amber Da Silva, DVM sit down with Beth Jackson, founder of Oliver P. Toliver's Thoroughly Tasty Treats, for a conversation that will change how you think about every snack you hand your pup.
Beth's brand was born from a 10-week-old rescue puppy who nearly died from Parvo - and one simple rule: every ingredient must earn its place.
In this episode, you'll discover:
🐾 Why "natural" and "grain-free" labels are largely marketing jargon
🦮 Why 15 minutes of sniff-led walking beats a 2-mile run
❤️ How two rescue dogs became UCLA therapy dogs
🍠 Beth's ingredient standard: "If I can't explain why it's in there, it shouldn't be"
📉 How daily treats contribute to pet obesity - and what the calorie math really looks like
Whether your dog is a rescue, a senior, a puzzle-loving genius, or a treat-motivated chaos machine, this episode is for you. 🐾 #OliverPToliver #DogTreats #DogNutrition #BethJackson #VitalPetLife
