In this episode of Trending: Pet Food, host Lindsay Beaton speaks with Amanda Rolat, founder and CEO of Bramble, about the science behind plant-based pet food diets. Rolat, who transitioned from a legal career to pet food entrepreneurship after losing a dog to cancer, explains how plant-based proteins have long been used in hypoallergenic pet foods and discusses the misconceptions surrounding dogs' dietary needs. She shares insights from Bramble's feeding trial at the University of Illinois, which showed that their plant-based diet was as digestible as traditional chicken-based foods and provided additional health benefits.
