In this jam-packed episode of the Pets Add Life Podcast, hosts Kristen Levine and Chris Bonifati explore authenticity, advocacy, and innovation in the pet world. First, they chat with Pamela Kennison, founder of Dogs Review Stuff, a growing review site and TikTok community where real dogs test and rate products—no paid fluff, just honest insights from pups of every size. Then, Mike Bober, President & CEO of the Pet Advocacy Network, returns to the show to discuss key policy efforts shaping the future of pet ownership, from pet-friendly housing and HSA reform to the annual Pet Week on Capitol Hill. Finally, Carla Ng from Earthbath joins to celebrate the company’s 30-year anniversary and share how the brand continues to lead in natural, eco-friendly pet grooming with biodegradable formulas, sustainable packaging, and a passion for giving back.
