A lot of what I do is looking at the relationship of the animals I speak with to their food, and how it affects their mood and their health. Consequently, I do a lot of discussion on pet foods and nutrition. The following are a few links I’ve compiled that I hope will help. (If you find any that are dead, or any worth adding, please contact me.)
