Episode Description
Pet food packaging gives us plenty to compare, but how much does it actually tell us about the food? Recorded at SUPERZOO 2026, this episode brings Fromm Family Pet Food’s PhD nutritionist, Dr. Danielle Opetz, together with hosts Jordan Tyler and Dr. Stephanie Clark to unpack Fromm’s guiding philosophy. They explore why digestibility, nutrient availability, and processing deserve more attention than the latest buzzword, and how marketing can leave pet owners feeling guilty, when they should be feeling informed.
Plus, Danielle shares the thinking behind Fromm’s commitment to independent pet retailers and what’s next for targeted nutrition. Along the way, cats get some attention, pet treats start looking suspiciously like toddler snacks, and “human-grade” gets a reality check.
