Confession from your holistic vet: I spend most of my time helping you avoid the unnecessary stuff and protect your dog from toxic load. So please hear me on this one.
Heartworm prevention is the hill I will die on.

Here's Why:
The treatment for heartworm is an arsenic-based drug plus months of strict cage rest. A little prevention with ivermectin once a month is nothing next to that. In this case, the prevention IS the holistic choice.

Honest truth: I'm not going to tell you to stop using AI for your pet's health questions. I do it too.

But in the exam room, I see it lead people down rabbit holes and AI tends to pull up rare, unlikely diagnoses when 95% of the time it's something far more common. It just can't replicate 20 years of clinical practice.

Use it, but bring those questions to your vet. That conversation matters.

We are not immune. Both of my cats have gingivitis and they are absolutely not letting me brush their teeth in any normal way. And honestly? Fritz and Fiona are not getting a daily brushing. We're doing our best out here. 😅

So here's what I actually use instead: Perio Care. Just run it along the gumline and you're done. No wrestling required.

And if your cat is somehow the chill, cooperative type...first of all, we respect that. Second, the Ryercat toothbrush is in my shop and it's genuinely adorable (and functional).

We get it. The before and afters are genuinely stunning and we are not immune to a good glow up. 😅

But here's the truth: anesthesia-free dentals don't clean under the gumline, which is where most of the disease actually lives. At $295 a cleaning, that's a lot of money for something that isn't getting to the root of the problem (literally).

And these are not a replacement for routine anesthetic dentals with your vet...not even close.

Has your dog or cat ever had one of these? We'd love to hear your experience in the comments.

A "barely there" murmur, a broken tooth, and a cat who was one bad day away from a heart emergency. 🐱 I almost scheduled that dental surgery but I always want an echo before putting a pet under anesthesia if there's any question about their heart.

Here's something a lot of pet parents don't know: your vet's stethoscope is a crude measurement of heart health. It can't measure how serious the disease is. Your pet can have a tiny murmur and severe heart disease. A loud murmur and minimal disease. And sometimes there's no murmur at all and something major is going on.

If you have a high-risk breed like a Bengal cat or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or your pet has a heart murmur, it's worth asking about an echocardiogram first.

We discuss anesthesia safety in this episode of Tails of Truth. Give it a listen! 🎙️

Does your dog scratch, chew, and just seem so itchy? 😅 You're not alone in this, especially this time of year, and there are real, holistic solutions that can help.

Join me LIVE on April 22nd at 7pm MST for my Itchy & Allergic Dog Course and help your pup find some relief.

A client came in recently and mentioned that some microchips can actually read your pet's temperature! 🐾

Turns out it's real. Built-in temperature sensor, no re**al thermometer needed. For the pets, cats especially, AND the humans in the room, this could be a gamechanger.

I think this should be something pet parents can use at home too. Why wait until your pet is at the vet to find out they're running a fever?

We don't carry this brand yet, but I'm watching where this technology goes. Are you using it in your practice? Has your pet been chipped with one? Tell me in the comments. 👇

If your dog is anxious and someone has mentioned medication, I know that can bring up a lot of feelings. 💚

As a holistic veterinarian, I use h**p, L-theanine, and envriomental changes for nervous system support.

And sometimes?
I prescribe Prozac.

Because chronic anxiety is suffering. And suffering deserves treatment.

This isn’t about “natural vs. pharmaceutical.”
It’s about quality of life.

In this episode of Tails of Truth, I walk through:
• When holistic options are enough
• When medication truly helps
• How I combine both safely and thoughtfully
• And why anxiety is so often undertreated in dogs

You don’t have to choose sides. You just have to choose what helps your dog feel better.
