    #83 Navigating the Minefield: Holistic Support for Dogs with Cancer

    Cancer is a daunting diagnosis, and the world of alternative and complementary therapies can feel like a minefield. This is a topic close to my heart, as my beautiful springer spaniel, Rowan, was recently diagnosed with inoperable laryngeal cancer with lung metastases.

    This podcast covers the complexities of holistic cancer care as well as the incredibly difficult path of living with a dog with cancer.

    For more on this check out my blog post https://www.thehealthfuldoctor.com/news/2025/10/11/navigating-the-minefield-holistic-support-for-dogs-with-cancer/

    #82 Prong Collars and Reactive Dogs: The Science Behind Why They Don't Work.

    If you're a dog owner with a reactive dog, you know how stressful and heartbreaking it can be. The lunging, barking, and growling can feel overwhelming, and you might be tempted to try any tool that promises a quick fix. Far from being a helpful training tool, using a prong collar on a reactive dog can actually worsen the problem and cause significant harm.

    Glaucoma in dogs appears to be poorly recognised by owner and vet alike which has been my experience in the recent diagnosis of my spaniel Seren along with fellow dog owners who have commented on my videos talking about their experiences.

    In this podcast I also share some tips to help you help your dog navigate the world if they end up losing their sight.
