Jodi McKitrick is a dog mom and writer in Ohio, and an unapologetic dog person who has lived with dogs for as long as she can remember. She is not a vet or a certified trainer - just someone who has fed, trained, and cleaned up after a lot of dogs over the years.
She shares her home with three: Stella, a 10-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog who snorts like a piggy; Ivy, a 10-year-old Bluetick Coonhound and Aussie mix who uses her paws like a raccoon; and Piper, a 4-year-old Boxer mix and the certified crazy one of the pack. They taste-test everything that ends up on ChickenChips.
Nothing here is sponsored, and nothing here is a substitute for your own vet. Jodi writes about what worked for her dogs, what did not, and when to save your money.
