I sit down with Mariah Pierson, founder of Paws of Prey, to discuss the healing powers of nutrition for our furry companions. Mariah shares her journey into pet nutrition, including raw vs. cooked food, sample meal ideas, and why raw meat doesn’t pose the risk many believe. Mariah also explains why organs are vital, how to safely transition your pet to a species-appropriate diet, and her stance on vaccines, titers, nosodes, and common preventative meds. If you're a pet parent seeking real health answers, this is the episode for you.

Mariah Pierson has been passionate about animals since childhood, fostering small wildlife, owning exotic pets, and dedicating her life to their wellness following a personal pet loss. Mariah combined her research in canine, feline, mustelid, and erinaceid nutrition with her veterinary experience to start Paws of Prey, a YouTube channel to share her knowledge.
