Your pet is exposed to more toxins than you might realise—from flea treatments and processed food to plastics, cleaning products, and even their bedding. In this episode, we explore what toxic load really means, why it builds in our animals over time, and how it can silently affect their health.

You'll learn:

• What toxic load is (in simple, clear terms)

• The everyday sources of toxins in your pet’s life

• Why animals are more vulnerable than we are

• Gentle, practical ways to start reducing exposure

• How to support your pet’s detox pathways—naturally

This episode is designed to empower you to take small, thoughtful steps—aligned with your own pace and your pet’s needs. No pressure. No guilt. Just clear guidance, rooted in care and respect for your animal’s wellbeing.
