Did you know . . . - That Rx pet food doesn't contain any medication? - That Rx pet foods ingredients are often WORSE than the off the shelf brands? - That Rx pet food isn't designed to be used long term? Let's break it all down with Dr. Chris Bessent of Medicus Veterinary Diets! Send us a text 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: https://jessicalfis...

Getting involved in legislation seems overwhelming, and it is, but it's also our responsibility because when we don't get involved we allow things to just happen to us ... and I believe that's how we got to this place. The PURR Act is being reviewed in Congress and it's not ready to be signed into law at best, but certainly not good for anyone who is a consumer of pet food. Please listen and take action!

Michelle Thomas (Magical Mutts Michelle) has such a beautiful gift that she has honed to be able to connect energetically with pets (and people) to help us as pet parents understand our pets better. I hired Michelle to connect with my dog, Kimberly, and even though she spent a good deal of time actually connected to me, what I found out about Kim has helped me understand her better and make better decisions for myself and for her. Michelle was kind enough to join me to tell her story and hopef...

I've been using the Mine Pet Platter for over 2 years now and I LOVE it! I especially love the research behind the development (I'm such a nerd!) Carol Smeja and her late husband dug in to learning everything they could about how wolves and wild cats eat in the wild to bring a feeding experience to your pets that mimics their wild counterparts as closely as possible. Not only do we discuss the platter, but some other things you can do around meal time to make it more enticing to your ...

I love making my home smell amazing ... but I also love knowing that I'm not killing myself and my pets with toxic chemicals. Project Sudz helps me clean my pets and my home AND gives me the tools to help me keep it smelling yummy all year long! Janine started Project Sudz because she has a pitbull with terrible allergies and all the conventional shampoos were not only not helping, but making things worse! Listen to find out more and see how Project Sudz could help you clean up your pets and ...

I can admit when I'm wrong ... and I was wrong. I heard about Carna4 many years ago and dismissed it because it's in a bag on a shelf. ... But Carna4 is different, just like Maria! It wasn't until I heard Maria speak a few months ago that I opened my mind to the possibility that this isn't just another bag of food (feed) for dogs and cats. Maria is passionate about feeding whole foods, without synthetics, to our pets, so I walked up to her and said "I think I was wrong. Tell me ...

There are a LOT of myths floating around about feeding dogs (and cats) a raw food diet. Scott Marshall of Raw Feeding 101 and I discuss some of the more popular myths and why they just aren't true!

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 ...

Trying to choose a pet food is a daunting task for many pet parents ... and when we start thinking more deeply about sourcing, it can be even more complex. For me, a company who values transparency is one that I choose to support. Evermore Pet Food has been a leader in the pet food space for decades and is continuing to do so with the Better Chicken Commitment. 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.&...

Right after The More You Know Pet Wellness Summit, Dr. Karen Becker and Rodney Habib held their first ever live podcast with the audience from the summit. One of the questions asked of the panelists was what 3 things they would want everyone to be adding to their dog's bowls.
