Despite the popular trope that our furry friends only want to eat meat, suck on bones, and chase rabbits, dogs are actually omnivores meaning that their diet does not have to consist mainly of meat. While doting owners want to feed their dogs the best food to keep their loving companions in tip-top shape, there are many times that plant based dog food might be best for them. One California startup, Wild Earth, has developed a high protein, plant based dog food that will have any dog happily munching away. Not only is the food great for dogs, it is also a meat-free alternative that relieves pressure on the environment. To learn more, we sat down with the CEO of Wild Earth, Ryan Bethencourt, on the first episode of our second series: The Dish on Biotech in Food.
Catch up on our first series, Alternative Careers in Biotech here.
