#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.

#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.
