We're obsessed with pet health . . . treats and chews for dogs and cats are no exception. 

Our philosophy is: what purpose is it serving?

So, when you give a chew or treat to your dog or cat, why are you giving it? Is there a nutritional benefit?  A dental cleaning benefit? Maybe you just need to occupy them for a while.

We get it! 

Listen to today's episode where we break it all down and help you figure out how to choose the best options for your healthy pet!

Time for an uplifting show! 

We talk so much about what's wrong with today's pet care that we thought it'd be nice to have a show dedicated to why we love our pets (and your pets, let's be honest!) so darn much!

We hope you enjoy this episode and can't wait to hear from you about your love of pets!

Spring has officially sprung here in Central Texas and in many other parts of the US and around the world, so we decided that an episode dedicated to fleas, ticks, and heartworms was in order.

Spoiler alert: there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for reasons such as: 

 - how vitally healthy is your pet?

 - is your pets body already overloaded with toxins?

 - what risk do you have in your neck of the woods?

So, in today’s episode, we’ll be chatting about 

 - traditional flea and tick products

 - why we don’t trust or recommend them

 - alternatives to traditional flea and tick products 

 - what specifically we do for our dogs and cats

We hope you find this episode helpful. It has taken us many years to gather this information and personal knowledge to pass on to you to hopefully help your pets thrive.

Have you ever wondered WHY we give our dogs and cats so darn many vaccines?! We certainly have, and since it's such a hot topic, we thought the best way to bring this idea of over-vaccination to you is from a long-time veterinarian, Dr. Laurie Coger.

Dr. Coger is an integrative and functional medicine veterinarian, dog owner, trainer, and breeder. Her resume is impressive, but it’s her matter-of-fact delivery that makes me like her even more. 

Anytime I’m in need of referring someone to information regarding vaccinations for their pets, Dr. Coger and her website, Healthy Dog Workshop, is one of the first I reference, so I thought it was fitting to have her on the show today to help break down this often controversial topic.

In the last episode, we talked about navigating the overwhelm, and part of that is being able to speak with your veterinarian about the care of your pet. 

You are the HEAD of your animals care team, so having an open dialogue with your veterinarian and not being pressured or bullied into anything that you are uncomfortable with is ESSENTIAL. 

Dr. Ruth Roberts joins us to discuss how we can facilitate this type of relationship with our veterinarian, and what to do if we can't.

It's possibly one of the most popular questions we get: how much should I actually be feeding my dog (or cat)?

While it seems like there should be a rather straight forward answer, it’s more complicated than a one-size-fits all solution. 

Regardless of the type of food you feed, we have solutions for you in today’s episode. 

Here are some helpful links to resources that we talk about in todays episode:
