Their hearty meals include an array of fresh ingredients. They source from accountable ranchers, farmers and vendors who strictly prioritize quality and animal welfare. They cook in small batches at a family-run, USDA-inspected "people food" kitchen that uses a low-temperature process to ensure food safety and maintain flavor and nutrients. Their high standards extend beyond their product to how they treat their customers—they value you as much as your dog will value Evermore (and that's A LOT).EPISODE NOTES: Evermore Pet Food Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-bets-for-pets-the-latest-pet-product-trends-pets-animals-pet-life-radio-original--6667904/support.

Celebrate your cat’s life by creating one-of-a-kind artwork based on their unique molecular make-up. Michelle Fern is joined by Ryan Norman, co-founder of EverAfter Art. At EverAfter, they've created the Essence of Life Process™, an innovative technique to create a unique, a true one of one, abstract art piece that ignites imagination and memories of your departed pet, soothing a troubled and bereaving soul. They create the art by imaging the microscopic crystals from the essential chemistry contained in your pet’s ash. The resulting natural abstract patterns, shapes, and often-vivid colors inspire imagination, bringing happy memories to mind. What you see is the actual unique crystal formation, not something created by computer programs or imaging software. Each piece is unique to each individual pet’s life.EPISODE NOTES: EverAfter - Art From LifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-bets-for-pets-the-latest-pet-product-trends-pets-animals-pet-life-radio-original--6667904/support.
