One of the more difficult things to keep up with when it comes to our dogs and cats is their dental care. Brushing their teeth is difficult, not just because it's a tiny space, but because they don't want us doing it! Even so, good dental hygiene is crucial for your pets overall health. Emily Stein, the creator of TEEF, joins the podcast this week to tell us all about how different this product really is and why it works so well not just on dental health, but downstream too!

It's been nearly 2 months since Romeo left and I'm still struggling to talk about it. All of my pets have been incredibly special to me, and much like every other, Romeo was different. He connected to me in a more spiritual manner than any other cat I've had, and I only wish I had latched onto that sooner. I struggled making this episode, but found the courage in a friend's words telling me that it is part of my journey to share his story. I've talked about Romeo before, and I ...

Hanna joins me to discuss what this means and how you can better understand label claims. Send us a text 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Hea...

September is Happy Cat Month! Every September I like to create special content designed around being the best cat moms (and dads) that we can be because I feel that cats are under-served, especially in the healthy pet space. Cats are incredible wild creatures that live in our homes, and treating them as the special species they are makes all the difference in the world for their wellbeing!

If you're anything like me, you have a supplement graveyard in your pantry. There's no shame here, I completely understand. I also know that when we know better, we do better, and supplements are a very confusing world of shiny objects with magic marketing claims! That's why I invited Krysta Fox of Pug & Hound Pet Apothecary back on the show to break down how she decides what to carry in her store. My hope is that this will help you make better decisions, save some money, and be more m...

Medical error is on of the top 3 leading causes of death in humans in America, and if we know anything from the pet insurance reports, the causes human and pet death mirror each other. It is harder to tell with medical error, because there isn't a reporting system in veterinary medicine like there is in human medicine. In this week's Weekly Pet Roundup, Isabel and I discuss a recent case in Chicago where a woman took her dog in to a Banfield pet hospital for a teeth cleaning and she was spayed...

Karen Dendy Smith is a Soul Level Animal Communicator and one of the most gentle communicators I've had the pleasure to connect with, or should I say that has connected with my cat pack. I have been hesitant to let anyone connect with my cat Romeo because he has made it known that he doesn't like it, but when Karen asked him to connect the energy was very different and he accepted her. I know to some this may sound way too woo-woo, but until you've experienced it, it's unexplainable.&...
