Off Leash with Dr. Pete

Presented by Voyager Dog Food Co. Dr. Pete Vanvranken gives us a deep dive into dog related health topics. From how to help your dog if they’ve eaten something they shouldn’t have to new and exciting treatments for your best friends, we cover many different dog related topics on the Off Leash Podcast. As a vet of 49 years, Dr. Pete has what he calls “the privilege and duty” to help animals lead their best lives. Ask him his favorite part of the job and he’ll tell you it’s two-fold - partnering with his clients to solve their pets’ health challenges and striving to provide those same pets with long, healthy lives. And that’s our goal with the Off Leash Podcast: to educate dog owners and to advocate for your pet. Listen along with us and leave us a review!

The Off Leash Mission

We started the Off Leash Podcast because we wanted to share information with pet owners that could make a difference in the way you care for your animals. Our podcast is closely related to our dog food brand, Voyager Dog Food. Voyager is a passion project that was born from a need for change in the dog food industry. Look us up and see why! When it comes to your animals we're not here to say what you want us to say, we're here to be an advocate for your pets! Like we always say, treat the treatable and prevent the preventable. Thanks for listening!
