If you're anything like me, you've been told over and over that all dogs and cats need to be spayed or neutered. Let's talk about why this "one-size-fits-all" rhetoric is no longer the best option . . . plus what we can do instead to have the same effect on populations.

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.

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!

We talk a lot about WHAT to feed your pet, but how often have you thought about HOW to feed your pet?

Today, we’re talking with Carol Smeja from Mine Pet Platter about the BEST way to feed your animal, and why (and how) it makes a difference to their health and wellbeing.

In many ways, how you feed IS just as important as what you feed!

What will be discussed:

1. How your animal’s mealware can positively - or negatively - impact their mood, appetite, and stress levels 

2. Why science supports ditching the bowl and how it is good for your animal

3. Why supporting your pet’s instinctual drive will make them thrive

I especially love how we dive into food and dog training, but I'm biased!

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.

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!

Social media is confusing and often overwhelming, especially for us pet parents.

Our attention spans are decreasing and the platforms are pushing for shorter and shorter forms of content. For a creator, especially in the healthy pet space, it can be challenging to get across a complete thought in 60 seconds, but we have to in order to get seen.

So, what do you do as a pet parent? How are you supposed to consume this type of content and actually learn something to help your pet?

I have this same question, so Gwen Campbell, COO for Dr Judy Morgan’s Naturally Healthy Pets, joins me to discuss

- how best to consume short-form content

- finding trusted resources on social media

- and what it’s like to work with Dr. Judy (aka her mom!)

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?

For some of us, treats for our dogs are an afterthought.

Samm founded Bear’s Bites when she struggled to find healthy treats for her dogs with food allergies. 

You may be in the same boat.

All of our dogs deserve the best treats, but for those of us dealing with sensitivities and allergies, it’s top of mind.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, almost HALF of dogs over the age of ten will develop cancer … and this number is RISING every year.

As a dog mom, this is a scary thought. 

On today’s episode, I got to chat with a very special human who spends every waking moment possible helping people and their pets with a cancer diagnosis and encouraging diet and lifestyle changes for prevention.

More than once in today’s episode, he brought up factors to health that are so often overlooked, even by medical professionals. 

You are going to be so encouraged by the end of today’s episode, whether you have a dog living with cancer, or you just want to be the best dog parent you can be! 

If you don’t know by now who I had the pleasure of speaking with, he is none other than Peter Ciancarelli, founder of the famous Facebook group Allie’s Crew, named after his dog Allie, who he lovingly cared for during her long battle with cancer. 

His story is inspiring, and what he is doing to help people whose dogs are diagnosed with cancer is incredible.

There is a shocking new trend in veterinary medicine: methadone. Yes, methadone, almost exclusively used in the rehabilitation of heroin addicts, has found a new home in veterinary medicine. 

But should it be there?

Dr. Josie Beug doesn't think so. Her recent musing on the topic, including medication cocktails that are becoming the norm in veterinary medicine, is quite alarming.

As a pet parent, having knowledge BEFORE you walk into a veterinarian's office is critical in asking the right questions and having confidence in your decision-making. This topic is one more that you need to have in your memory bank.

What do you look for in a dog trainer? What makes one stand out above the rest? When you seek information online, who resonates with you the most?

I've been asking myself this question for a while now, and while you may have already known this about me, I'm finally ready to put nutrition front and center in my dog training.

The effects that health has on behavior are becoming more well-documented and as a dog trainer, it has to be the first thing we work on with a new client. 

This is the shift that I am making in my own business and I am chatting about it with you this week.

The food and treats that we feed our pets matter…

but it’s more than just feeding fresh foods, we also need to be aware of the SOURCING of those foods, including how they are raised.

Susanna Domosi is the founder of Furever Love Clubs company dedicated to providing you with transparent sourcing of the highest quality treats and chews for your dogs. 

I’m more than a fan, I’m also a customer and Kim is a FANATIC when it comes to the treats we get from FLC.

We've talked about some things that are popular in traditional veterinary medicine that should be avoided. Still, today's guest has some insight into a different danger that we all need to be aware of before taking our pet to the veterinarian's office.

Dr. Josie Beug joins me today to discuss a crisis in veterinary medicine, and it may even be something that you've experienced with your pet. 

Plus, if you're like me, having to make a trip to the emergency room with my pet is one of my biggest fears. She gives some practical advice for this too, especially considering the shocking new trend she is seeing in emergency medicine for our pets. 

Don't miss a single second of today's episode, you will want to listen multiple times and take notes to avoid these dangerous drugs for your pets.

I have had many people contacting me lately about dog training for dogs that have small children in the home. For some reason, people seem to think that dogs should allow children to do whatever they want to them. 

If you can't already tell, this has me quite upset and it has been heavy on my heart so I needed to get it off of my chest. 

In this episode, I give the honest truth of the matter, regardless of how people may take it. I also give you a list of appropriate interactions to teach your children that apply to both cats and dogs. 

While I don't intend to offend anyone, as they say if the shoe fits..... So here we go!

We adopted our dog, Kimberly, from Dog Rescue Without Borders over 6 years ago now. Meeting Elsa and volunteering to help with the rescue helped to remind me just how much we all need reminders of what life is like for those who rescue.

In today's episode, Elsa tells us about how DRWB started, how they operate to continue helping dogs in need, and how you can help.

Yes, YOU! Regardless of where you live, you can help these dogs too.

It's true, not all dog trainers are created equally, and I'm proud to be a positive reinforcement trainer. 

There are reasons why I choose positive reinforcement training, and even with the emerging "balanced training" trainers, I still choose positive reinforcement. 

If you're looking for dog training, this is something you'll want to know about in order to choose a trainer that resonates best with you.

Today, I'll explain what balanced training is, and why I still choose positive reinforcement.

The topic of having kids is a bit controversial, and very vulnerable, which is why I never thought I’d be the one sharing my journey to a kid-free life. 

Today’s guest opened up about her own journey to being kid-free, which gave me the courage to do so as well. 

Whether you have kids or not, there is something thought-provoking in today’s episode for you. 

I want to introduce you to Rachel Fusaro. She’s a professional dog mom and shares tips on how to train and feed your dogs better. I’ve been following Rachel for as long as I can remember and I love the safe space she provides in the unruly world of social media.

One last thing, if you take nothing else away from today’s episode, I hope it’s this: don’t judge another woman for choosing to or choosing not to have children. You don’t know what led them to that decision. And please don’t look down on someone for giving extra love to their furry family members because sometimes it’s all they have.

We always want to do the best we can to help our pets, but it can be even more critical as our dogs (and cats) enter their senior years.

But how do we do that? 

In today's episode, I'll introduce you to 2 tests that I chose to use for my dog to give me some guidance on how to best support her moving forward and how I'm using the results to make changes to help her.

The raw feeding / fresh feeding pet community was presented with new information a couple of weeks ago regarding the food processing procedure known as HPP (high-pressure processing).

This new information has led me, and many others so far, to adjust our thinking regarding use of this procedure which is becoming more and more common.

There are some really good findings in this set of data, but there are still some things to be concerned with, which we'll talk about in today's episode.

What is that one thing?

Whether you're new to raw feeding, or even if you've been raw feeding for a long time, there are some misconceptions and down-right untruths floating around the internet and social media.

This makes us question ourselves, wonder if we're doing the best for our pets, and in some cases keep us from taking the leap to feeding a fresh food diet.

Kay Stewart is a Registered Veterinary Technician, Certified Canine Nutritionist, and lead researcher for Feed Real Institute. 

Kay helps us break down some of the misconceptions around raw feeding, including why so many traditional veterinarians are against it and how to meet them where they are. She also lets us know about a very interesting and empowering course to help pet parents learn more about raw feeding and feel confident in their feeding choices.

I am so stinking proud of a client I've been working with to help her dog who has food sensitivities that I wanted to talk to you about her dogs case.

At only 2 1/2 years old, she was already being told by her veterinarian that they had no other options for her dog. 

She asked me for help and through some very emotionally and yes, even physically, difficult work over the past few months, we've successfully gotten her dog through a rotation and elimination diet and the dreaded yeast die-off period. 

She's put in so much work, I'm so proud of her, and I wanted to share this story with you so that you can better understand what a Holistic Pet Health Coach does and how it transforms people's lives for the better. 

Buckle up because we're about to embark on a journey like no other I've taken you on.

Pet supplements, like human supplements, are abundant and confusing. The market is saturated and we often seek out guidance on which ones to choose and why.

When I see a company doing things right, I have to talk about it. 

For a long time, I scrolled past the ads for Poli Pet Products because I thought it was just another supplement company, but I decided to take a deeper dive and I think they are filling a void in the market.

"But Jessica, how could the market be so saturated, and yet they are filling a hole?"

In today's episode, we'll cover
 - WHY traditional spay and neuter may not be appropriate for every dog

 - OPTIONS for alternatives to traditional spay and neuter procedures

I also understand that we don't all have the luxury of deciding this for our dogs, so we'll talk about what to do in this case as well.

My cat recently had 17 teeth extracted. I know what you’re thinking - WOW, how did you let it get that bad?! Well, I did and I didn’t. Romeo has resorptive disease and we’ve been doing dental cleanings regularly his whole life.

This past year, he developed hyperthyroidism and we had to get his thyroid levels back to normal before he could be put under anesthesia for a dental cleaning.

Once we got his thyroid levels back to normal, I scheduled his cleaning and we were expecting extractions. I wasn’t expecting 17!!!

It was an ordeal and the week following was touch and go. Thankfully he is fully healed and all is right with the world again, but I learned 5 important lessons.

Lesson #1 - Not all veterinarians are created equal!

I had 4 veterinarians work with Romeo over the week after his procedure and they all were quite different.

I’ll be talking about this and 4 more tips in today's episode.

When I was a new pet mom, I did everything my vet told me to do . . . including feeding the pricey bags of food sold in her office. I had 6 cats and they all were on different foods, even some "prescription" foods for weight management.

Fast forward and I now know that there is no "medicine" in those foods AND they have no requirements for additional feeding trials to prove effectiveness.

That said, there are some conditions that require altered nutrient profiles of food.
That's why I'm so glad there are Medicus Veterinary Diets. 

Dr. Chris Bessent is the formulator of these real freeze-dried food diets. She is also the formulator and creator of Herbsmith and The Simple Food Project. 

In today's episode, we'll do a deep dive into all of these projects, so you can be more informed to make better decisions for the care of your pets!

I don't know if we can ever be completely confident about the job we are doing as pet parents. I think it's something we hone over time, but something we will always work towards, especially with different animals in our lives.

I do think that we can do lots of things to help build confidence, especially by learning new things and creating a team to help us.

If you haven't been to Super Zoo, well let me tell you, it is truly a ZOO! I've been back home for over a week and I'm still getting settled back in to my routine and getting caught up with everyone!

Fortunately, I got Billy from Green Juju (and Kelley too!) to talk a little bit about their new foods, which I'm super pumped about, and in today's episode I'll tell you why!

I did the best I could with the audio on the show floor, so please 🙏 bear with me. The information is well worth it!

Viva Raw has been a staple of my dogs diet for the past 2 years and I have no intent on changing that! 

They are a small company, making food in small batches, who are transparent in their sourcing, process, and more!

Most pet parents I speak with are still asking me about grain-free dog food and DCM. It's been years and the FDA closed its investigation in December 2022 with no results. 

If I fed kibble, I'd still be worried too. It's like they just threw their hands up and said "I don't know!"

Susan Thixton, Dr Karen Becker, and Steve Brown have a different view of what could be going wrong, so I've updated my blog on DCM and wanted to update you here as well.

Is it grain-free foods? Is it anti-nutrient? Or is it something else altogether?

"All disease begins in the gut." - Hippocrates

As pet parents, we want to do what's best for our pets so that they can live long, happy lives. The truth is that our veterinarians are great for what they are trained to do, but there is still quite a bit that they don't know.

That's why Animal Biome is on a mission to educate veterinarians about gut health, testing, and methods to help restore the gut microbiome.

Carlton, the Co-Founder of Animal Biome, joins me today to talk about their mission, the testing, and some more juicy topics that my 2.0 pet parents will be very interested in!

1. I'm reminded of how hard their job truly is, and

2. They see things differently simply because of the volume of animals they see

Anxiety is a much more complex issue than most of us give it credit for. It's not just "bad behavior" that we need to "train out" of our dogs. 

Yes, there is quite a bit of science behind a positive reinforcement and slow desensitization strategy for training dogs with separation anxiety . . . . 

BUT there are also physiological aspects of anxiety that we can not ignore. 

In today's episode, we cover the many signs of anxiety in dogs, as well as some tips for helping our dogs with anxiety.

While supplements can be beneficial here, it is certainly not the main focus of today's episode, so buckle up and take notes!

It is so common for us to get stuck in a cycle of going back to the vet for the same problems, getting prescribed medications, finding some relief for a period of time, but winding up right back in the vets' office for the same thing.

It's a huge problem and one that our current sick care system is not equipped to deal with.

That's where pet health coaches come in. We take what your veterinarian gives you and bridge the gap to health with modalities that our veterinarians are not trained in. 

Jody L. Teiche is both a pet health coach and a human health coach. She also has many years of experience with homeopathy for both pets and people. 

Today, Jody joins me to discuss health coaching, homeopathy, and her journey with her dog Sophie. It's a story you don't want to miss.

It's the end of spooky season but we can't let it pass by without a throwback to the wonderful Layla Morgan Wilde explaining all about the myth surrounding black cats!

I always think of the line from the movie Hocus Pocus "black cats, and witches and stuff!" ... but that's actually the farthest thing from the truth. Many ancient societies saw black cats as LUCKY!

After recording this episode, I had the pleasure of meeting Betsy Redmond and the team at Innovative Pet Lab at AHVMA and I just can't say enough great things about them and the work they are doing! 

First of all, they are so dang smart and they truly want to make it easy and affordable to bring these testing kits to you and your pets. 

As a pet health coach, I can take information and symptoms of your dog and infer that they likely have leaky gut, but these test kits and tell you for sure based on various markers found in your dogs poop!

I love a good test kit, and this one is super easy and gives me incredible information to be able to help pets (including my own!)

Check out Innovative Pet Lab today ... and let me know if you need help with your dog once you do!

Dr. Carol Smeja is the creator of The MINE Pet Platter, which is the platter I have been using for Kim for about a year and a half now. 

We spend so much time talking about WHAT to feed our pets and rarely ever talk about HOW to feed our pets, though it has a huge impact!

I love getting deep into the science and psychology of animals, especially when it comes to feeding them. Carol helps us dive in even deeper!

This is a spotlight episode that highlights the core of Carol's previous interview on the show. You can find the full episode on your favorite app or video platform!

You asked for it! 

There have been so many questions about HPP and while I do my best to field them, I decided to bring the expert to you to answer all of your questions.

Billy Hoekman from Green Juju shook a good portion of the fresh-feeding pet parenting space up when he announced that HPP isn't the demon we thought it was. 

This happened earlier in 2023 and I did a podcast about his announcement, which just brought about more questions from you .... so here he is to explain all the science-y things himself!

Weekly Pet Roundup 12/4/23
This week on Instagram live, we talked about a post that Rodney Habib made saying that 90% of pet owners do not want to be there when their pet is euthanized. It was an alarming post that caused a ton of emotional responses. Let's break it down.

Dr. Laurie Coger chimed in with some excellent insight as a holistic veterinarian about the euthanasia topic, as well as what we should be considering for the respiratory illness going around and internet trolls. 

It's always a great chat with Isabel!
