In this heartwarming episode of Healing Tails, I sit down with Sandy Reynolds, a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach and proud pet parent of Bridger, a rescued Boxer with an unforgettable story. Sandy shares how she transitioned from a high-stress corporate life to a fulfilling journey in holistic pet care, and how Bridger became a living testament to the healing power of fresh food, patience, and love.

From emaciated and timid to vibrant and confident, Bridger's transformation is nothing short of miraculous. We talk through Sandy's immediate decision to skip kibble and nourish Bridger with fresh, home-cooked meals from day one, her step-by-step process in building his health back, and her valuable insights on how to ease rescue pets into a new home with grace and understanding.

In this powerful episode of Healing Tails, Dr. Ruth sits down with the brilliant Dr. Marlene Siegel, integrative and bioregulatory veterinarian, founder of Pasco Veterinary Medical Center, to dig deep into the true root causes of chronic disease in our pets.

They explore:

• The four key root causes of disease: deficiencies, toxicities, mitochondrial dysfunction, and trapped emotions.
• How our pets mirror our emotional patterns and what that means for their health (and ours).
• Why so many pets are "overfed but undernourished" and how to turn that around.
• The importance of daily detox and testing (not guessing) when it comes to nutrition.
• The surprising truth behind raw diets and why "one size fits all" doesn't work.
• How to move from helplessness and guilt into empowerment and gratitude for you and your furry family.

Key Takeaway:

Your pet’s health journey starts with you. When you heal, they heal too.

Welcome back to Healing Tales! I’m Dr. Ruth Roberts, here to help you become the best pet parent you can be with simple, natural care that supports real life, real budgets, and real pets. In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by the incredible Melissa Sherman, founder of Calming Creek. Melissa is an animal communicator, energy healer, and holistic pet health coach who helps guide both pets and their people through health challenges and those tender moments at the end of life.

We explore what animal communication really is (hint: it’s not as “woo” as you might think!), how it can help us understand our pets’ needs, and how it can transform the way we navigate aging and end-of-life decisions. We also discuss grief, guilt, and the deeply moving ways animals share their final wishes and memories with us. This conversation is filled with love, insight, and beautiful reminders to stay present and connected with our furry companions.
