- The first time Julia understood the importance of feeding a species-appropriate diet to her dogs was when, at the age of 13, she adopted her first dog, Johnny — actually a female, but given a male name because her mother told her it sounded more “menacing” on night walks.
- That cemented Julia’s belief in raw, species-appropriate feeding, and she resolved to educate as many people as she could about the importance of feeding their pets better food.
