Do you really know what's in your dog's food? Brett Podolsky, co-founder of The Farmer's Dog, speaks with the Loni Edwards, the founder of The Dog Agency and PetInsider, about the importance of feeding your dog fresh food, the lack of current regulation in the dog food industry today, and how his dog's stomach issues inspired him to start his company.
When Brett Podolsky's dog was chronically unwell, he had an idea: What if he bought the same ingredients listed and in the commercial brand he was feeding her, and made her fresh food? The change in her health was drastic, and led to Brett, who was then working as a comedian, convincing his best friend, Jonathan Regev, to start a subscription-based high-end dog food company with him. Now three years old, their Brooklyn-based company, The Farmer's Dog, has secured some ten million dollars in VC funding and their health-supportive recipes are being enjoyed by tens of thousands of grateful dogs throughout the country. Annie and Brett discuss what it takes to start a dog food company from scratch, the problems behind commercial dog food, and the shifts in dog owner awareness that are leading to a tide change in the pet food realm.

Podcast@SchoolForTheDogs.com --- Partial Transcript: Annie: Hey everyone. Today I am speaking to Brett Podolsky, who is one of the founders of The Farmer's Dog, which is a high end dog food subscription company. I first discovered The Farmer's Dog three or so years ago, not long after they opened up shop because I was at a cafe that I often go to near my apartment. And there was a guy there with a dog and he and I started talking about his cute dog and it came up in conversation that we're both dog business entrepreneurs. And I started looking into his company and that was Brett’'s business partner, Jonathan Ragiv. A year later, I was reading about them in Forbes.com. And last year, I read that they had secured an $8 million investment. At which point I realized these guys were actually maybe a big deal. So I was psyched to get the opportunity to talk to Brett **music** Annie: So tell me how you guys got started. Brett: Yeah, so Jonathan was actually living with me at the time. Annie: And how did you two know each other to begin with? We met abroad and basically just like hit it off and spent every single day with each other. Literally it might be like four and a half years now. Annie: Were you traveling together? Brett: Yeah. Yeah. We met like on a trip. And we bonded over, I think it was funk music and yeah, after that, we just had one of those moments, like, did we just become best friends? And then after that, yeah, we basically spent every single day with each other for years. Annie: So were you like trying to figure out what kind of business you could do together, or were you suddenly inspired by the idea of a dog food? Brett: No, it's funny. Well, when I met him, I thought besides just being like a great person, I thought he was like the smartest person I've ever met. So I was like, I definitely, if I'm going to start a business, that man will be my business partner. I don't know if that's what he was thinking at the time. He had been working on a couple of different startups. Full Transcript available at SchoolfortheDogs.com/Podcasts/
