On this episode our hosts discuss the true dangers of Librela for dogs and Solensia for cats and what your vet isn't telling you. In December of 2024 the FDA issued a warning on the use of these failed human meds that were dumped into the veterinary world, but it's being disregarded and touted as a miracle drug. Pet parents are losing their furry family members to these drugs and the side effects are not possible, they're inevitable. Tune in to hear what you can do to support your pet's joints naturally that won't cause irreversible damage or worse.See what House of Paws recommends here.

By removing starchy carbohydrates and high-oxalate ingredients and prioritising fresh, moisture-rich meals, these pets were able to stop invasive procedures, reduce ongoing medical costs, and regain their vitality.
