holistic pet care

I recently got back from a trip to Italy where I got the virus that we can't talk about. 

In today's episode, we're chatting about the dogs in Italy, and two other topics to help you and your pets: mushrooms and HPP foods. 

Mushrooms are all the rage right now in the pet parent community, and for good reason. Different varieties of mushrooms help with different ailments, but many of them have properties that can help everyone on a cellular level. 

Is the food you're feeding your dog (or cat) really raw? A process by many names, though the most common is HPP, or high-pressure pasteurization may be used by your dog food company and there are some risks that you definitely want to know about. Is your food being HPP'd?

Find out more in today's episode!

Our cats can be very sneaky at hiding when they don’t feel well, but there are some symptoms that they can’t hide and many of them are signs of IBD, or irritable bowel disease. 

We are seeing more and more cats diagnosed with this cluster of symptoms they call IBD and for many, it can be devastating. 

Symptoms like weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, lethargy, and abdominal pain can all be signs of IBD. I’ve personally dealt with IBD in multiple cats, so I know how devastating it can be. 

Fortunately, Jae and Adrienne, The Two Crazy Cat Ladies, have some tips for preventive care and for what to do when your fur baby isn’t feeling well and gets a diagnosis of IBD. 

And make sure you stay to the end because I have a surprise for Jae and Adrienne that you don’t want to miss!

It's ironic that we have so much information at our fingertips, yet, we are as confused as ever. What's the best food to feed my dog? What kind of cat litter is best? Should I give my pet this drug, or is there something better, or a natural alternative?

It can be so confusing to be a pet parent today, so I wanted to take this opportunity for a solo episode where I dive into becoming a more confident pet parent in the face of the confusing world of social media and science ideology we live in today. 

I hope this episode resonates with you, and if so, please take a moment to share it with someone else you know who may be struggling. We can find strength together and as always, when we know better, we can do better.

There have certainly been times when walking into a pet store, let alone a healthy pet store, has been overwhelming. Whether I just didn’t know what to get because my cat or dog was sick, or I knew I wanted something better for food but the labels were confusing. 

That’s why I’m so glad that there are more and more healthy pet store owners and pet advocates out there to help. 

Krysta Fox and Jeff DiRe own Pug and Hound Apothecary in Illinois and along with their instafamous pug Bruce, they are helping pets and their parents find healthier alternatives to food and medicine. 

As you’ll hear in today’s episode, Krysta and Jeff have an extraordinary background in the pet industry and each have a passion for helping people and their pets. 

Oh, and don’t let the fact that they’re in IL fool you, no, they also offer online consultations … so stay tuned because I have a feeling you’ll fall in love with this super duo as much as I have.

P.S. I bet you can’t guess what their favorite foods are! Make sure to stick around til the end to find out!

Chances are, you've been to the vet a few times with your dog or cat. You may have noticed that lots of different ailments such as diarrhea, ear infections, itchy skin, etc., seem to get similar treatments.

Antibiotics, maybe antinausea, pain meds, and sometimes steroids. Immune suppressors are also often given for chronic itchy skin. 

There is a crisis in veterinary medicine in the United States. Opioids and antibiotics are heavily overprescribed. Some prescriptions have been proven ineffective and are still prescribed.

If you've ever been given a drug for your pet " just in case" or given a drug and found yourself going back saying that it's not working, you're not alone.

Angela Ardolino joins me today to discuss a topic so important that every pet parent needs to hear. There is a better way. We have medicine that helps without side effects. It helps every animal because it's all natural and works with the body as nature intended. She has 

Gathered an all-star panel of veterinarians for the do no harm online event that you don't want to miss. Join me today as I get the scoop on CBD from the original pet medical cannabis expert 

Angela has so much love for all animals and She's on a mission to help you heal your pets naturally. You're not going to want to miss one second of today's episode. She's laying it all out for you in a way that is easy to understand and she gives you practical tips for what to do next.
