Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wor Now more of the
WOAR Saturday Morning Show and Larry Minte.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We all know about balance of nature and how it
can keep you healthy, but there's a new balance of
nature now that's just for dogs. We talk to the
creators of Doctor Fido's Fido Nutrition dog food topper, doctor
Douglas Howard and doctor Jake Van Dyke, who's a veterinarian.
Doctor Howard, this is exciting for you. I'm sure you

(00:30):
get to expand your brand and talk about how you
came up with this idea.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Well, and actually it's a whole new company. It's really
not balance in nature, okay, but it's a Doctor Fidos
has been fun. We it's really not a new idea,
it's something that all along. You know. I deal with
the help and the well being of people. And I
found many years ago that often that's your pet too,
Because do you have a pet?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, well my dog just died unfortunately, so but yes,
we're planning on getting another one. But you always want
to have a dog in the house.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And you make my point, and that was a bad day, yes,
and there's been sadness, but when you would come home
and that dog was wagging his tail. How'd you feel?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, wonderful? You look forward to it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, it's part of your health, yep. And so when
I realized that people actually their health is also combined
with the health of their animals, I thought we got
to do this. And that's a long, longer story sometime
we'll get into how that really addressed with the dog
we had. But and then I, you know, doctor Jake
and I I've known him since he was a tiny

(01:35):
tad and he became a vet and we we said,
you know, let's do this then, so we adapted the
formula and then we formulated this to fit best with animals.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It sounds like you were left in a basket in
front of his house. That's since you were.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Everything that's wrong with me wrong with me? He influenced.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's all new to hear.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Well, good for you.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Talk to us about doctor and what are the working
ingredients in it? And why is it important to give
to your pet?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
That's great. So Doctor Fidos contains forty whole food ingredients, fruits, vegetables,
some spices that are really good, and a bunch of fiber.
And the relationship that doctor Howard and I have is
really beneficial to both of us because I'm concerned about
that day that my clients bring in a puppy to

(02:25):
the day that we put the dog to sleep, and
everything in the middle needs to be better. And that's
really what motivates me to be part of this project
because I feel the benefit of balance in nature. I
take it myself and I've been given doctor fidos to
dogs for over two years and the results are amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Talk about the results. What are the results so far?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
So things that I notice in my practice with my
patients is just overall better health and if you can
think of it, they're experiencing it.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
This is so important to families because I think we
all care about our dogs and our pets, and we
care sometimes more than we care about ourselves. We want
to keep them healthy. We just don't know how frequently.
And the thing is, we can't guarantee life. I can't
guarantee how long some things can live, not even my patience.
You know, that's between you and God. That's how I

(03:18):
put that one.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
But what I realized in my practice finally was we
can deal with quality of life. God gils with God
deals with quantity, but if we can make that quality
of life the highest it is, then it makes everybody happier. Yeah,
I wish I had your voice. Man, if I had
your voice, I'd be network. I'd be more successful than

(03:40):
I ever was. I wish I had. I wish I
had your face. So I've been told I have a
radio face all the time. If you have a face,
everybody recognizes.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I think everybody, as doctor Howard just pointed out, I
think everybody wants to have their pet be healthier. We
just don't know how to do it.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's the question that I get all the time. What
should I feed my dog? And when you go to
the grocery store, it's overwhelming because of all the choices
that are there, and unfortunately they're not great most of them,
and there's not a lot of information out there. So
this product really does hit the spot. It fills the

(04:21):
need for good nutrition in our pets.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Sometimes we think we're doing the best thing, but some
of the stuff on the market that's sold for being
healthy is just not healthy.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
No, it's not. And the beauty of it is people
afford what they feed them what they can afford frequently,
but it doesn't matter what you're feeding, you're at your pet.
Doctor Fido's Dog Topper food topper improves the nutrition always,
it improves the quality of whatever you're feeding them. Right.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
The product's name again is doctor Fido's Food Topper, And
here's a phone number you can call eight eight eight
three eight eight seven to nine. And it's very clever
because Fido is p h y t o S, which
is part of the active ingredients, but it also is
Fightoh so I get it very good, very good by
the marketing team. You can also go to doctor Fidos

(05:14):

can order there.

Speaker 1 (05:22):

the phone number. By the way, the last four last
four digits there spelled pause p A W.
