In this episode, Eric Schwartz shares his journey from spending over a decade with Animal — one of the most iconic names in the supplement world — to building Paw Power Nutrition, a mission-driven dog supplement and peanut butter brand created to help pets live longer, healthier lives.

We talk about what truly separates quality supplements from good marketing, how to actually read a dog food label without getting misled, and why so many owners are confused about kibble, raw, fresh, and everything in between. Eric breaks down dog-nutrition basics, the power of hybrid feeding, why hydration matters, and the hidden red flags inside cheap kibble and trendy fear-based content online.

He also opens up about losing his dog while traveling for work, getting laid off, and deciding to finally bet on himself — starting Paw Power with almost no money and a commitment to donate to rescues from every sale. His message is simple: start before you’re ready, focus on integrity, and lead with education over hype.

If you love supplements, love your dogs, or you’re building something of your own, this conversation is packed with heart, insight, and inspiration.
