Past the worst of it. The intense itching is gone. But the scaling is still hanging around, and the improvement has slowed more than we would like. 🐾

This is where a lot of pet parents feel stuck. Pharmaceutically, everything that could be done has been done. Cytopoint, topical treatment, medicated shampoo. And yet the skin still is not fully bouncing back.

That is usually where we look deeper. Not to replace what has already been working, but to support what medication alone cannot reach. Rebuilding the skin barrier itself. Making sure omega levels are actually adequate, not just present. Adding a skin probiotic, because the skin carries its own microbiome, one that inflammation and disease quietly wipe out over time. Replenishing it gives the skin something to actually rebuild with. 🌿

None of this replaces what her family has already been doing to keep her comfortable. It works alongside it. 💜

This is what integrative care looks like when conventional treatment has taken you most of the way there, and something deeper is still needed to finish the job.

100 episodes. I still cannot quite believe it. 🐾

When I started this, I was not sure anyone would listen. I just knew there were real, safe options out there that too many pet parents never get told about, and I thought this needs to be out there more.

Somewhere in the middle of these 100 conversations, something shifted. I stopped worrying about sounding right and started focusing on the only thing that ever actually mattered, the impact one conversation might have on one animal in one home I might never even meet. 💜

I am a little tired of the fighting between conventional and holistic medicine. I do both. I sit squarely in the middle. It was never for us as doctors to decide who is right. It is for families to decide what is right for them, and they cannot decide if they do not even know the options exist. 🌿

That is what this podcast has always been about.

Thank you for spending this time with me. Here is to the next hundred. 🦄

Non weight bearing on one leg. Stiff. Sore. Carprofen only getting him partway there. 🐾

Prolotherapy works differently than most pain medications. Instead of just masking discomfort, it stimulates the body’s own repair response at the injection site, aiming to strengthen the joint itself over time. That means less reliance on medication just to get through the day. 🌿

It can sting briefly going in, and results build gradually rather than all at once. But for chronic joint pain that has not responded well to medication alone, it is one of the more effective tools we have.

If your pet is dealing with ongoing joint pain, this is worth the conversation.

Episode 100. 💜

I almost cannot believe we are here. When this podcast started, I did not know if anyone would listen. I only knew there were options out there, real and powerful ones, that too many pet parents never get told about. So I made a place for those conversations.

This one was different. No guest, no script. Just me and a room full of pet parents who have been on this journey with me, asking the real questions, sharing what they have lived through, and reminding me exactly why this exists.

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I said something I have been wanting to say for a long time. I am a little tired of the fighting between conventional and holistic. I do both. I sit squarely in the middle. And it was never for us doctors to decide. It is for the families to decide, and they cannot decide if they do not know the options exist.

This community is the reason I show up every single week. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Here is to the next hundred. 🐾✨

An anxious, itchy dog. A bowl of kibble left out all day, every day. That was the routine for years. 🐾

Lara Shannon shared this story with us, about a friend’s Cavoodle who was struggling, and a simple change that shifted everything. Take the bowl away. Add real food.

The dog’s reaction when that new bowl finally came down says more than we ever could. 💜

Sometimes the biggest shift for your pet’s health does not start with a diagnosis. It starts with a bowl. 🌿

Continuing Toffy’s journey. This session goes deeper into something most people never think about, the skin has its own microbiome, completely separate from the gut microbiome, but the two are constantly talking to each other. 🐾

For pets who are chronically itchy, there is another layer to it. All that licking and chewing actually introduces oral bacteria onto the skin, disrupting the skin’s natural flora even further.

Before jumping into treatment, the plan starts with testing. Bloodwork to make sure Toffy’s kidneys can support an IV vitamin C infusion. Rechecking his vitamin D, which has been low before and plays a real role in skin health. A Qest scan with food sensitivity testing, to see if anything in his diet needs to shift.

Healing chronic skin issues rarely starts with the skin itself. It starts with understanding everything underneath it. 🌿

Part 2 of Toffy’s journey. 💜🦄

Toffy’s skin has been getting worse since moving inland. Red paws. Red eyes. Nothing that showed up when he lived closer to the beach. 🐾

In most of the chronic skin cases we see, the root is not the skin at all. It is the immune system. So instead of just treating what is on the surface, we start by asking what the body actually needs to heal itself.

For Toffy that meant IV vitamin C first, to build his antioxidant reserves before anything else. Then checking his vitamin D, which came back low again, the same as last time. Most people do not realize vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin, and it plays a real role in immune function.

Next up, testing his omega fatty acid levels. Because what we have learned over the years is that the dosing on the label rarely matches what an individual pet actually needs to get real results. 🌿

This is what it looks like to build the body back up from the inside, not just manage what shows up on the outside. 💜

Part 1 of Toffy’s journey. More to come. 🦄

A study landed on my desk that I have not been able to stop thinking about. 🐾

Parvo is one of the diagnoses that scares even experienced vets. It moves fast, it hits young dogs the hardest, and the cost of treatment has always been part of the heartbreak. 🐾

For years, f***l transplants have shown promise in smaller studies, but nothing at the level of a true double blinded, placebo controlled trial. Until now.

What the Ohio State researchers found does not just support what many of us in integrative medicine have believed for a while. It gives it real weight. 🌿

This is the kind of study that has the potential to change protocol in hospitals that have never considered microbiome therapy as part of parvo treatment.

If you love a puppy, or you know someone who does, this conversation is worth having with your vet before you ever need it. 💜

Most people think microbiome testing is for pets who are already sick. It is not. 🐾

Our modern pets are actually born with poorer microbiomes than generations before them. That is exactly why we focus on optimizing it early, while they are still young and healthy, not just after something goes wrong.

The earlier we assess and support the microbiome, the more we can help prevent problems down the road. Allergies. Chronic GI issues. Even conditions connected to the brain, the heart, the kidneys.

Prevention does not start when symptoms appear. It starts long before that, with a foundation most people never think to check. 🌿

If your pet has never had their microbiome tested, this is worth the conversation. DM us or visit integrativepet.com 💜🦄
