In honor of this leap year I am re-releasing one of my favorite episodes:
 When my dog Chance began to show his age, I was desperate for a solution that would restore his youthful spirit. That's when Leap Years, a revolutionary anti-aging supplement for dogs, entered our lives and transformed Chance's golden years. In episode of the Baroo Podcast, I  sit down with the minds behind Animal Bioscience—CEO Nick Sinclair, Chief Veterinary Officer Jenny Rentko, and holistic veterinarian Dr. Heather Oxford. We discuss the incredible advancements Leap Years is making in canine longevity and share uplifting stories from pet owners who've seen their furry companions thrive. 
 Leap Years has  recently become the first  daily supplement clinically proven to slow the effects of aging in dogs.
