A DIFFERENT KIND OF DOG PODCAST—REAL TALK FOR GUARDIANS, PROS & DOG LOVERS! 

Listen Now

Meet the Host: Emily Breslin
Em is a passionate animal advocate with over 30 years of hands-on experience as a retired veterinary technician, pet sitter, dog walker, and now a virtual dog trainer. She holds multiple certifications in the canine field, including Family Dog Mediator (FDM), Certified Canine Enrichment Technician (DN-CET), and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist (CPCN).

Her lifelong dream came to life through Straight Up Dog Talk, where she brings a perspective few others can—shaped by decades behind the treatment room doors and in the homes of dogs with big feelings. Her mission? To normalize honest, often overlooked conversations about dog parenthood. From behavior and training to health, nutrition, and grief, Em guides pet guardians through every stage with empathy, education, and zero judgment.

When she’s not podcasting or training, you’ll find her hanging with her two dogs, Toby and Fitz—who regularly steal the spotlight on her Instagram and remind her daily why this work matters.

Your doggos will love these!

My two doggos love taking these supplements daily! I can’t wait to see the benefits as they keep taking them! Even with the severe allergies my one dog has, these do not seem to make him flare up like other treats/supplements have in the past! They recommend 10/10!

Thank you so much for trusting Mush Buddies for your dogs' health needs!

Yummy Health Supplement

My dog is not food motivated and sometimes it’s hard to encourage him to take treats even. Not with these!!! He loves them! We switched from another glucosamine type supplement and I just feel that he prefers them and they seem to be effective for our senior good boy. He loves these and the packaging couldn’t be cuter!

My dog loves them

My dog loves these treats and my dog suffers from weak joints in his knees so it’s great to find a product with quality ingredients that will help his pain.

Works great!

I’ve been giving my pitbull these and they’ve made such a difference for him! He has had hip problems for a little while now and I can tell he moves better and doesn't cry about pain. He loves the taste too! Definitely recommend!

Boss loves them!

I'm so happy I found Mush Buddies Joint and Mobility Chews! These dog joint supplements have improved my dog's mood, energy and mobility within the first few weeks of using these. I love that these are made by a small family business that cares about the quality of ingredients in their products. Happy to support and highly recommend!
