Next Level Pet Parent

If your dog keeps having pancreatitis episodes despite diet changes and supplements, you are not doing anything wrong. 
The problem is that pancreatitis rarely exists on its own, and the conditions that overlap with it, EPI and SIBO, can look almost identical and require completely different approaches. 
In this episode, I sit down with Julie Anne Lee, founder of Adored Beast, to break down why pancreatitis keeps coming back, how EPI and SIBO can develop from it, and why treating the wrong condition is one of the most common reasons dogs stay stuck. 
We cover the cortisol-pancreas loop that most pet parents have never heard of, which diagnostic tests to request from your vet, why the right probiotic for pancreatitis is the wrong one for SIBO, and what diet and supplement support actually looks like for each condition. 
Julie Anne also explains why liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and kidney support belong in every recovery plan, and names Liver Tonic as one of the most important and most missed pieces of the puzzle.

One in 1.65 dogs in the U.S. is currently being diagnosed with cancer. That number closely mirrors the human cancer rate, and according to today's guest, that is not a coincidence. 
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marlene Siegel, an integrative veterinarian with over 40 years of experience, to talk about what is actually driving the rise in chronic disease and cancer in dogs. 
Not just genetics. Not just bad luck. 
The specific, addressable root causes that are often overlooked: essential nutrient deficiency, toxic overload, and what happens to the body when both are present at the same time. 
We cover Dr. Siegel's 6-step healing framework, why leaky gut may be at the center of most immune and autoimmune issues in dogs, the truth about tap water and indoor air quality, and how to start making real changes without becoming overwhelmed.

If you've been wondering how to keep your dog healthy naturally but still feel like something's missing, this is the episode that brings it all together.
We sit down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Odette Suter, also known as Dr. Poop Lady, to walk through her seven pillars of dog health. 
A whole-body framework covering nutrition, gut health, detox, hormones, the nervous system, exercise, and emotional well-being. These pillars don't work in isolation. When you understand how they connect, everything starts to make more sense.
We get into why gut health is central to your dog's immune system, how spaying and neutering affects hormonal balance in ways most pet parents are never told about, why detox has to go deeper than a binder or milk thistle, and how the nervous system connects to issues you'd never expect, from urinary incontinence to digestion to anxiety.
If you want a practical starting point, we created a free Holistic Pet Wellness Blueprint to help you apply what you hear in this episode with clarity and confidence. Download it now: https://pawdega.us
👉 Two products that often come up when pet parents start working on gut health foundations are Fido's Flora and Gut Soothe, available at PAWDEGA.

If your dog just tested positive for a tick-borne disease and you're wondering what that result actually means, this episode is for you.
When our dog Milka came back positive for Ehrlichia, we were handed a doxycycline prescription on the spot. We went home, did more research, and with expert support chose a different path. What happened over the next three weeks completely changed how we think about tick-borne disease in dogs.
In this conversation with Julie Anne Lee — founder of Adored Beast and previous owner and practitioner of some of the most established holistic veterinary clinics in North America — we cover what a positive SNAP 4Dx test actually tells you (and what it doesn't), how to think through the antibiotic decision without pressure, and the exact natural support protocol we used with Milka through her Ehrlichia recovery. 
Julie also shares her personal experience navigating Lyme disease herself, including the one course of doxycycline she wishes she hadn't taken.
If you're navigating this right now, download The Complete Flea + Tick Protection Guide — it walks you through what to do after a tick bite and how to make more confident decisions for your dog.
The products we used to support Milka's immune system through her recovery: probiotics, Vital Defense, and medicinal mushrooms, are all available at pawdega.us.
