I hear from many pet parents that there's an immediate stress reaction when they notice a problem with their pet. Is it a symptom of a health problem?

Now there's a way to advocate for your pet's health that can eliminate the stressful guesswork.

Here's something most dog owners don't know: dogs cannot produce EPA and DHA on their own. These essential omega-3 fatty acids must come from their diet, and without enough of them, the effects show up in ways we often mistake for just getting older: a dull coat, stiff joints, brain fog, low energy. These are not inevitable. They're often signs of a nutritional gap that can be filled. Feel Good Omega was created by Dr. Peter Dobias to do exactly that. Made from pure wild squid oil, sustainably harvested, made in Norway, and Friend of the Sea certified, it delivers the highest quality EPA and DHA in their most bioavailable form, microfiltered, lab tested, protected against rancidity by nitrogen, and bottled in glass. It also comes with a lifetime money back guarantee. Head to peterdobias.com and use code DRJUDY10 for 10% off. Your dog deserves to feel good.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #3
As a holistic veterinarian, I spend a lot of time talking about ingredient quality, sourcing, and how food is made, because when it comes to nutrition, those details matter. That's one of the reasons I appreciate Smallbatch and choose to feed it to my own dogs. They started over 20 years ago making raw food in small batches in their own kitchen, and they still approach pet food with that same care today. Their recipes are built around humanely raised meats and certified organic produce. You won't find fillers, synthetic vitamins, or unnecessary ingredients in anything they make. Whether it's frozen raw, freeze-dried, gently cooked recipes, or treats, Smallbatch focuses on real whole food nutrition, crafted in small batches on the West Coast, with an emphasis on quality, transparency, and responsible sourcing. If you're curious whether Smallbatch is a fit for your pet, visit your neighborhood pet retailer to find frozen products or shop online at SmallBatchPets.com, and use code DRJUDY15 to save 15% on your first order.

Cats are carnivores, yet most people are feeding kibble, which is not a species-appropriate diet. High in carbohydrates, lacking key moisture, and typically using low-quality ingredients, kibble isn't the optimal diet cats need to thrive. The foundation of wellness is a healthy diet. That's why veterinarian and food therapist Dr. Judy Morgan created a powerful mini course called "Kick the Kibble: How to Feed Your Cat" to show you easy ways to add whole food, species-appropriate toppers to enhance any cat's diet. You'll also learn what to look for in high-quality cat foods, how to transition even the pickiest cats to a healthier meal plan, and what goes into DIY recipes for the ambitious cat parents wanting to try homemade food.

Dr. Judy welcomes Dr. Ruth Roberts to the show, examining the health tradeoffs of routine spay and neuter, especially early sterilization, and argue that preserving endocrine function may reduce chronic disease risk in dogs. They link the rise in chronic disease after roughly 2000 to multiple factors, with sterilization presented as one important contributor alongside food quality, vaccines, and environmental toxins. The study results or overwhelming!

So, what is Spay-Neuter Syndrome? Early spay/neuter can be linked to obesity, cruciate rupture, hip and elbow degeneration, allergies, IVDD, arthritis, Cushing’s disease, thyroid dysfunction, pancreatitis, diabetes, and some cancers including hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and prostate cancer.

If I'd like to sterilize my pet, what types of sterilization methods should I consider? What about any hormone replacement therapy for my pet after sterilization? Listen in to learn more!
