My Dog Made Me Do It...Naturally!

Pet parents beware - if you routinely give your Dog chemical flea, tick or worm treatments every single month or on a regular basis you NEED to listen to this episode.Dr Judy Morgan joins me to discuss a topic that is close to her heart and kindly shares with us her intensive knowledge and advice about these kinds of products.During the episode we discuss how isoxazoline flea, tick and worm products that many pet parents feel pressured into giving their pets every month (without being informed about the side effects involved) contain neurotoxins that can lead to a variety of horrific side effects such as seizures and sometimes, even sudden death.We explore what symptoms might look like, how corruption passes the blame, what we can do to support our pets instead and how to be confident in making decisions for our pets.Dr Judy wholeheartedly advocates for pet parents to have informed choices and inspires confidence for us all to stand up for our pets when making decisions on their behalf, even when that might not fall in line with traditional methods.Visit Dr Judy's WebsiteLearn about flea's & ticks from Dr JudyCheck out Dr Judy's books Check out Dr Judy's coursesIf you’re interested in learning how to support your pet from parasites naturally, Connect with me on Instagram!About Dr Judy Morgan:Dr. Judy Morgan has over 40-years-experience as an integrative veterinarian, acupuncturist, chiropractor, food therapist, best-selling author, international speaker, podcast host and owner of Dr. Judy Morgan’s Naturally Healthy Pets.

This episode got me EXCITED! Excited for what's coming for us to be able to really support our pets through focusing on and nourishing the key players in their health - the microbiome. Carol Hughes is the leading expert in the canine microbiome and has studied profiles of dogs for over 14 years, in this episode we uncover what's really going on in our Dog's guts, how the dog is in a state of crisis that needs action from all of us to help them recover and how we can achieve that in the simplest way. The microbiome is really the most fascinating and crucial component of our dog's health, and we should give it the credit and care it deserves. I hope you love this episode - and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. Microbiome analysis and support is always fundamental to any of my holistic health plans and should be in yours too!Get your Dog's microbiome tested worldwide! (contact me for UK discount)About Carol Hughes:Carol Hughes of Biome 4 pets is one of the leading experts in the Canine microbiome and has been involved in the canine microbiome since 2014 which started with researching the microbiome of overweight dogs which discovered a natural plant compound that worked to reduce weight in dogs and horses without changing the diet.Following this discovery Carol then went on to do a gut microbiology degree course at Aberystwyth university which was run by some of the world's leading gut microbiologists and focused on the relationships between the bacteria and how the microbiome could be manipulated to improve health. From that learning, Carol and her team began to further define Biome 4 pets to focus on how to manipulate and restore the microbiome and make it resilient using active plant compounds.This led into a further 4 years of research relating to inflammation of the microbiome, which still continues today, into discovering which bioactive plant compounds can modulate the microbiome's rebalancing and restoration processCarol has been involved in this area of research with Bangor and Aberystwyth Universities since 2009, has presented at the European College of Integrated Veterinary Nutrition, British Association of Veterinary Herbalists, Kew Gardens, The Fine Bioactive Compounds from Plants Conferences (Bangor University) and the National Dog Expo last year and thisIf you're interested in supporting your Dog's health holistically?

I am joined by a very special guest in this episode, the Alternative Vet Dr Lise Hansen and we're discussing (among other things) the importance of the new World Small Animal Veterinary Association's 2024 Report on how veterinary surgeons, pet paraprofessionals and pet parents should avoid neutering their cats and dogs in order to prevent health issues throughout life. Over the past decade research has been conducted and found links between neutering and the development of cancer, immune issues, allergies, joint problems and more - and now it's officially advised against by the worlds leading veterinary experts and professors in the field. A highly important topic as we advocate for the world to catch up with this announcement, and I'm so grateful to have shared this with Dr Lise.Links:Read the 2024 WSAVA Guidelines on NOT neutering cats and dogsGet your hands on The Complete Book of Cat and Dog HealthCheck out Dr Lise Hansen's Homeopathy ClinicAbout Dr Lise Hansen:Dr Lise Hansen , otherwise known as the alternative vet, decided to be a vet at 12 years old, and has now been a veterinary surgeon for 31 years. Not long after graduating in 1994 Dr Lise became trained in acupuncture and homeopathy, and has successfully been running a homeopathic referral practice since 1998 that has been spread over three clinics in both Denmark and here (the UK). Dr Lise published her book ‘ The complete book of cat & dog health’ in 2019, and throughout her entire career has been a huge advocate for encouraging informed choices and agency for pet parents including shouting loudly for changes in the way we so easily ‘neuter’ and ‘vaccinate’ our pets by sharing an alternative view of how we can care for them together. As well as running a successful practice and advocating for change, Dr Lise also speaks internationally to other veterinary surgeons and pet parents about homeopathy and other alternative methods of caring for our pets.Interested in supporting your Dog's health holistically?

Today we're chatting about the reasons why Steph has done a full turnaround in the way she looks at food in general which has stemmed from doing her research into the darker side of pet food since Echo was diagnosed with a lipoma late last year.Since December, Steph has discovered problems with pet food and the way we live our lives that has ignited a spark to learn more about the benefits of fresh food so that she can do better for her family and for Echo - a flame that motivates us all.

Join us as we dive deep into the world of catering to the needs of our precious senior dogs through the wonderful world of fresh & raw food.

In today's Dog Walk Daily I explain why I no longer use 80/10/10 mixes when feeding my dogs their raw food. These views are based on personal experiences I had with my dogs in trying to find balance with their meals that suited their needs based on bone content, food sensitivities and all rounded nutrition. For me, we need to be doing more than 80/10/10's when it comes to dog nutrition, and unless you know the exact ratio of the raw components in your 80/10/10 mix it's hard to know if your dog is getting enough...that's not to say you need to do DIY - but you 100% need additional extras.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mark-july/today-is-the-day License code: 1JUSHLLAVMM6YVRF

Dog walk daily is my new shorts show where I discuss the natural ways we can adapt our lifestyles to benefit our dogs.To kick off the new season we're exploring how we can make our own dehydrated treats for our dogs from whole foods, so that we can reduce the toxic load they are exposed to on a daily basis. Lots of treats available in large pet shops and supermarkets contain low quality ingredients and chemical preservatives that can have detrimental impacts on our dogs health. Deceptive marketing from pet food companies can mislead us into thinking that certain treats are healthy options by concealing or splitting ingredients, and it can become quite confusing and overwhelming when trying to find healthy options.By dehydrating your own dog treats you can take control over the quality over what foods your dog eats giving you peace of mind that your dog is eating guilt free, wholefoods that will promote their health instead of hinder it... and it will save you money in the long run!If you have any questions about dehydrating dog treats or would like some tips on how to do it - check out my Instagram or send me a DM! Have a great day Pet Parents, & say Hi to your Pups from me! 🐾This is my dehydrator 🥩Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mark-july/today-is-the-day License code: 1JUSHLLAVMM6YVRF

Today I am discussing how making connections in my Dog Borris' epilepsy history helped me pinpoint that my own stress was having an impact on his condition.
