Dr. Randy Aronson, integrative veterinarian, sits down with Maria Ringo—Doctor of Homeopathy, founder of the pioneering Sojourner Farms, and co-creator of Carna4 natural pet food—for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually means to feed your pet a natural diet. Together they expose why typical kibble and ultra-processed pet food, which makes up a staggering 87% of what our dogs and cats eat, is directly fueling the epidemic of chronic pet illness, dog allergies, skin conditions, pet obesity, and inflammatory disease we're seeing everywhere today.

Using the dramatic real-life transformation of Sullie, a seven-year-old dog who reversed years of severe dog allergies, skin infections, and ear infections through diet alone—no medication—Dr. Randy and Maria break down exactly what to look for in natural dog food and cat food, why pet food ingredients matter more than marketing claims, and how whole foods, sprouted seeds, and a healthy pet microbiome can do what prescription diets and steroids couldn't. They also cover raw pet food and raw feeding, freeze-dried and air-dried dog food options, the truth behind the grain-free debate, and why convenience and clean ingredients don't have to be mutually exclusive. If you're a pet parent wondering where to start, this episode gives you a clear, practical, and science-backed answer.
