Join me with Dr Nick Thompson - Holistic Vet - as we discuss how well known medications prescribed commonly by veterinarians impact your Dogs gut and overall health. As we dive deep into how the different drugs cause harm, we also explore what you can do if you find yourself in a situation where your Dog needs medication and how you can support their gut to maintain their health while doing so (we may have gotten a little side tracked into other controversy too - but what's a bit of controversy between friends!)

In this episode I am joined by Dr Alice Seredynska from Harmony Veterinary Care. We're talking about the missing piece of understanding our dogs health - our connections with them and their emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We're discussing how failing to understand our pets emotional needs and not dealing with our own stress can leave them open to health problems and prevent efficient recovery, and explore why meeting our pets needs in this way is sometimes all that's needed to promote their overall health. Join us for such an inspiring conversation, and learn how to tune in to your pets emotions too.

Canine cancer is a rising epidemic and it is estimated that over half of the dogs today will get cancer at some point in their life, with some dogs suffering at only 3 years old. This episode uncovers how cancer specialist Dr Judy Jasek uses a whole being, whole body approach to healing and supporting cancer in our Dogs. With over half of her patients being cancer patients, Dr Judy explains the importance of positive energy, wholesome food, detoxification and improving quality of life when dealing with this terminal disease, as well as the other modalities we can turn to for support outside of conventional practices and how as pet parents we also have an important part to play. We also discuss how failing to meet our pets emotional and spiritual needs can impact their physical health and prevent them from healing and discuss how nutrition is the foundation to optimal health.

About Dr Judy Jasek:

After receiving her formal education at Colorado State University, including a bachelor’s degree in Zoology, followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1988, she remained in the western United States, practicing in Idaho, Utah, and the returned to Colorado in 2001 where she owned and operated an integrative medicine practice for 12 years.

Dr Judy then created a more streamlined practice model and increased her specialization in practicing the terrain paradigm, emphasizing the importance of species-appropriate nutrition augmented by natures’ aides in healing including herbs, homeopathy, ozone and mistletoe and also highly recommends the use of hands-on modalities such as acupuncture, chiropractic and massage.

Dr Judy believes that true healing requires supporting not only the physical body, but includes the mental, emotional, and environmental aspects of the pet’s terrain as health is the natural state of the body, and her goal is to help pets regain natural vitality.
