Description

Antibiotics can save your dog’s life — but they can also silently sabotage their gut health, immune system, and behavior.

In this episode, I break down what every pet parent needs to know about antibiotics and the gut microbiome: what actually gets wiped out, what is dysbiosis, what it looks like  (hint: it’s not always diarrhea), and what I recommend during and after antibiotics to protect your dog’s long-term health.

Whether your dog has had one round or five, this episode will help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface — and how to take back control of their gut health without guilt, overwhelm, or fear.

We cover:

  • How antibiotics disrupt beneficial gut bacteria

  • What dysbiosis looks like in dogs (months later)

  • Which antibiotics are the harshest

  • What probiotics I use (and when to give them)

  • How to support the gut before, during, and after treatment

  • Common myths that even vets still believe
