Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias

Episode 55: The Silent Epidemic: Unmasking the Long-term Effects of Canine Sterilization

Dr. Peter Dobias

In this episode, I’m joined by two extraordinary guests who are transforming the way we think about pet health. 

Dr. Linda Brent is a primatologist, the Executive Director of the Parsemus Foundation, and a pioneer in hormone-sparing sterilization methods for pets. She has dedicated her career to advancing innovative medical solutions for animals and humans alike. 

Dr. Ruth Roberts is a holistic veterinary expert with over 30 years of experience. Known as “The Original Pet Health Coach,” she specializes in integrative care, including Traditional Chinese Medicine and her revolutionary CrockPET Diet™, which has helped thousands of pets live healthier lives.

Together, we explore the critical role hormones play in pet health and how traditional spay and neuter procedures can impact their well-being.  This episode sheds light on hormone replacement therapy and alternative sterilization methods that could revolutionize veterinary care.

Key Highlights:

  • Expert Perspectives: Dr. Brent’s advocacy for hormone-sparing sterilization and Dr. Roberts’ holistic approach to chronic disease management in pets.
