KetoNatural vs. Hill's: The DCM Lawsuit Update You Need to Hear

from The Pet Parenting Reset · host Jessica L. Arrington

Big Pet Food is having a moment — and not exactly a flattering one. In this solo episode, I break down two connected stories: Hill's, Royal Canin, and Blue Buffalo all rolling out fresh/refrigerated food lines this year, and the latest development in the ongoing lawsuit between KetoNatural Pet Foods and Hill's Pet Nutrition over the grain-free DCM scare.I walk through what's actually in these new "fresh" formats from the big brands (spoiler: better hydration, same underlying formulation issues as kibble), and why the timing isn't a coincidence — market share has been steadily shifting toward fresh and raw feeding for years. Then we get into the lawsuit itself: KetoNatural's allegations that Hill's intentionally manufactured the DCM-grain-free connection to win back market share lost to grain-free competitors, and where the case actually stands now that a federal appellate court has revived part of it.I share what I found in the original filing, what's actually moving forward legally versus what's still just alleged, and why — regardless of how the case plays out — the formulation and ingredients tell you everything you need to know right now. We close it out by tying it back to ReWilding: even the "best" commercial option is still working inside a flawed system, and there's always room to add wild, real elements to the bowl.Find all of the links mentioned on the blog: https://www.wildwellnesspet.com › blogs › wild-wellness › big-pet-foods-fresh-food-pivot-and-whats-really-happening-in-the-hills-lawsuit🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶 Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠ 💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠
