Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias

I’m so excited to sit down with my dear friend Catherine Edwards, a holistic biologist, healer, and podcaster, to explore how we can better support our dogs in today’s challenging world. Together, we open up a real, heart‑to‑heart conversation about the “toxic soup” our animals live in and how to make simple, practical changes that actually feel doable, not overwhelming.

We’ll talk about:
How modern toxins (food, water, EMFs, chemicals) affect our dogs’ health and behavior.
The core foundations of holistic dog health: real food, clean water, movement, and emotional connection.
Zoo pharmacognosy (animal self‑medicating), with powerful real‑life examples of dogs choosing what they need to heal.
How to ask better questions at the vet, recognize red flags, and stay empowered as your dog’s guardian.
Why spending present, quality time with your animal friend may be one of the most healing “therapies” you can offer.
Along the way, we share stories, mindset shifts, and gentle guidance to help you feel more confident, less guilty, and more deeply connected to your dog’s unique needs.

In this episode of Get to Know Your Vet, I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, holistic veterinarian Dr. Kevin Toman, to explore how we can help dogs live longer, happier lives with natural, integrative care.

We’ll dive into:
How Dr. Kevin uses telemedicine, supplements, and prescription longevity drugs (like rapamycin) to support dogs with cancer, chronic pain, and heart disease
What new research is saying about spay/neuter, hormone‑sparing options, and the link between hormones, inflammation, and cancer
Practical ways to support mobility, joint health, and mitochondrial function so senior dogs can regain energy and joy
You’ll hear about real dog cases (including cancer and cruciate injuries), the emotional side of vet care, and why supporting independent, heart-centred veterinarians matters so much in today’s corporate clinic world.
I hope that you enjoy this episode of Get to Know Your Vet and are enjoying getting to know the humans behind the veterinary medicine!

In this episode of Get to Know Your Vet, I sit down with Dr. Nick Thompson, Dr. Connor Brady, and Dr. Brendan Clarke for an honest, wide-ranging chat about what really helps our pets thrive.
We talk about the power of fresh food, why a little dirt (and even poop!) can be a good thing for your dog’s microbiome, and how early-life experiences shape long-term health. We also get real about the challenges vets face behind the scenes — and how we stay connected to the work we love.
Along the way, we dive into gut health, holistic and preventive care, and what an integrative approach to pet wellness actually looks like in everyday life.
If you’re curious about raising a healthier, happier dog — and want to hear how vets think beyond the exam room — you’ll love this conversation.

In this episode of Get to Know Your Vet, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Dr. Ruth Roberts for an open and unscripted conversation about veterinary medicine, holistic pet health, and the experiences that shape us as veterinarians.
We talk about why diet is the foundation of health, the challenges of transitioning pets from processed food to real food, and how education and community can empower pet guardians to make better choices for their animals.
Along the way, we also reflect on mindset, resilience, and the importance of staying grounded while navigating the realities of veterinary practice.
I hope you enjoy this episode of Get to Know Your Vet and getting to know the humans behind veterinary medicine.

In this new episode of Get to Know Your Vet, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Karen Becker for one of the most honest and surprising chats! What starts as a playful card game quickly turns into a deep dive into dog health myths, grief, resilience, and what it really means to speak the truth in veterinary medicine.

We explore the “elephants in the room” and why it can be so hard (and sometimes risky) for vets to talk about them openly. You’ll also see a side of both of us: how we cope with loss, the fear of losing memories, and the pressure of trying to show up for everyone while still staying grounded and kind to ourselves.

I hope that you enjoy this episode of Get to Know Your Vet and continue enjoying getting to know the humans behind the veterinary medicine.
