Co-hosts Anthony and Danielle Santilli educate pet owners on natural, raw and fresh food diets for their dogs and cats. Every week, the goal with this podcast is to help build a healthier, more educated, and united pet owner community. This includes presenting you with the most up-to-date information from trusted guests. And spotlighting the best products so that you can rest assured that you are doing the best for your family pet.

The Fangs & Fur store (http://www.fangsfur.com) is locally independent and owner-operated in Columbus, OH. Our small shop is not your typical pet food store. We don't carry unnecessary pet supplies like a lot of other shops do. We don't saturate our little space with products that we don't believe in and feel are unnecessary. Our goal is to have a place full of positive vibes that you and your pet feel comfortable in.
And that's the way we want you to feel about the podcast.

Why is moisture important in your pet's diet? We talk about the WHY! Makes your body crave moisture when you feed your pet dry kibble, so they drink more. Both dogs and cats. Your pets are designed (think carnivores) to eat food that contains 60-80% moisture.

Without this moisture, in the example of dry food kibble diets, the cat or dog is in a constant state o...

Yeast and Smelly Dogs

August 24, 2022 11:00 - 24 minutes - 33.2 MB

Dogs are not supposed to be gross. It could be a yeast problem. Yeast is spore-like fungi that actually reproduce by a process called budding. This is where the cell body can break off to form a whole other yeast organism. So it can flourish pretty easily. But when the yeast begins to reproduce uncontrollably, when it really starts to proliferate, then we have a problem. We have a yeast infection. And once this starts happening, yeast is opportunistic.

Positive Research Supporting Feeding Your Pet Raw Food

July 13, 2022 11:00 - 22 minutes - 31.1 MB

I've seen the clear benefits of feeding raw for the last decade with my own dogs, and now exponentially more in the last three years in a shop. But I often hear that there are loads of anecdotal evidence, but there's no hard data to support that raw food diet is more beneficial than an ultra-processed diet like kibble. Because, of course, we already know this. But this is somehow lost in the pet world. This episode is dedicated to the people who are maybe still skeptical of feeding real fo...
