In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson welcomes microbiologist Dr. Emily Stein to discuss the critical link between the oral microbiome and overall pet health. Many pet parents are unaware that dental disease is a primary driver of chronic inflammation, affecting everything from the immune system to kidney function in dogs and cats. We explore why traditional brushing often fails and how "oral dysbiosis" can lead to serious systemic issues like heart disease and strokes. 

 Dr. Stein shares her journey from "biohacking" her grandmother’s health to developing microbiome modulatory technology for animals. They discuss the "One Health" concept, the hidden dangers of common household remedies like apple cider vinegar on tooth enamel, and the benefits of a "keto diet" for oral bacteria. You’ll learn about PROtektin (TEEF), a revolutionary water additive that feeds beneficial microbes to crowd out harmful, inflammation-causing bacteria. Whether you're dealing with a senior dog with calculus buildup or a cat with severe stomatitis, this conversation offers a roadmap for avoiding whole-mouth extractions and maintaining your pet's teeth for life.
