It’s no secret that people are particular about their pets. According to the American Pet Products Association, there were 90.5 million pet owners in the U.S. (70% of American households) in 2021. Dogs are the most popular pet by a significant margin, as well. On top of that, in that year, Americans spent a staggering $123.6 billion on their pets — a $20 million increase from 2020 — with food and treats by far being the most expensive investment.A large part of this trend to spend more on dog food comes from a shift toward healthier food options. Pet owners are more educated than ever before, and they’re in search of quality nutritional solutions that can keep their four-legged friends in good health over the course of their lifetime.Some manufacturers have slightly adjusted their formulas or cut out certain ingredients, like food coloring. But for many pet owners, that isn’t enough. They are abandoning traditional formulas in favor of fresh food.A fresh food diet can help dogs with...Madame Nadine: Empowering Women to “Dare to be Different” Through Her Jewelries
