I've waited quite a while to invite Jaron Lukas from Yummwoof on the podcast because even though I like having options for you, I prefer to only bring you the best options. Yummwoof just launced a new air-dried dog food that is free of synthetics! It is still my preference to hydrate any dried food, but this could be an option to keep on hand for "what if" Jaron and I discuss dog food, synthetics, fats, and more in today's episode!

Earlier this year, we let you know about a concerning trend that pet owners have been reporting: Sick and deceased pets, assumed to be related to pet food, mostly Purina. At the time, most people blew it off and called these pet parents liars, said that it was all "fake news" Now, Susan Thixton from Truth About Pet Food has released the data obtained through a FOIA request. The pet parent reports to the FDA skyrocketed in January 2024... most of them were Purina products. Dog Food Advisor too...

Dr. Katie Woodley is an integrative veterinarian and the founder of The Natural Pet Doctor. She has such a calm way of explaining even the most complex of topics so today we will be revisiting her explanation of how not to give up on our pets. That may seem like such a simple topic, a simple statement, but to put what that actually means into words - with examples - is something I don't think we can hear enough. When Western medicine says "there's nothing more we can do" - I'd bet anything tha...

There's a mass buyout that's been happening in veterinary medicine by giant conglomerates. You've probably noticed since 25% of primary care vets are now corporate owned and 75% of specialty and emergency vets are corporate owned. There's really no upside for anyone but the people at the top of the pyramid of these conglomerates. So, what can you do about it?

Chances are that you've had some experience with at least one of your pets undergoing anesthesia. If you haven't, consider yourself lucky! Even though procedures that require anesthesia are common, that doesn't mean that we should ignore the risks. Every time your pet needs an anesthetic procedure, your vet should be discussing the risks and benefits so that you can make an educated and informed decision. There are 3 questions that I always ask (now that I know better!) before agreei...

We are all focused on the gut these days ... and rightfully so! If we weren't all (this includes our four legged friends) eating such crappy diets, we may still be blissfully ignorant to the fact that 70% of the immune system is in the gut.

I'm not a supplement person generally speaking. By that I mean that I want to work with food therapy first and then see if supplements are necessary. Even then, I'm incredibly picky about the supplements I use and recommend. And that's not without good reason. The supplement market is overrun and can be overwhelming. To be honest, I've known about the WinPro brand for years and never looked into them. I just didn't need another supplement to look at. But when the opportunity to interview Ti...

Have you ever considered a board & train facility for your dog? Or know someone who has? Someone recently reached out to me about dog training, asking if I could recommend a board & train facility.
