    Also being one of those self proclaimed “nerds” who LOVES to research & read clinical research studies in the world of canine/feline health & nutrition, I appreciate both hosts for their knowledge & what they give to the world in relation to healthier nutrition for dogs - so fun when I hear about something I didn’t know or wasn’t super familiar with. However, I really wish ... more

    I’ve always felt like an outsider when it comes to the health and care of my dogs and cats because I choose the natural and holistic approach, but I feel like I belong with Kimberly and Erin. Thank you for choosing the alternative route and sharing your stories!

  • Good, but could use a tweak…

    I appreciate both hosts for their knowledge & what they give to the world in relation to healthier nutrition for dogs. However, I really wish they’d save the chats about their personal lives/other topics for their own personal time, & stick to relevant topics regarding dog nutrition or similar I only have so much time to listen per day, and it’s frustrating if I have to spend half of that time trying to fast forward to get to the dog nutrition relevant topic that is the whole reason I am listeni... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gut Health, Raw Feeding, and Probiotics with Billy Hoekman (Green Juju Kitchen)
Q: How do you nutrient test food for something like that, and is lab testing the way to go?
There are several labs with different test panels; base nutrient tests include protein and fat with mineral profiles, while more extensive panels are expensive. The most practical approach is to combine lab data with practical feeding to ensure balance, and use software or internal spreadsheets to track and interpret results over time.
Gut Health, Raw Feeding, and Probiotics with Billy Hoekman (Green Juju Kitchen)
Q: Could the D2 have come from something that the lamb ate?
It's possible the D2 could arise if the lamb ingested certain ingredients or environmental factors, but it often requires looking at what the animal consumed overall and how those sources contribute to vitamin D metabolism; tests can show anomalies that need contextual interpretation rather than taking a single result at face value.
Red Light Therapy for Dogs: Benefits, Safety Tips, and How AnimaSol Devices Support Canine Health
Q: Talk to us generally about red light therapy for pets, including the terminology and what wavelengths to look for when buying a device.
There are multiple terms like photobiomodulation, low-level light therapy, and red light therapy; the core idea is using red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular energy via mitochondria. For best results, devices should offer both red (600-700 nm) and near-infrared (700-1200 nm), use a contact method, be low-powered, and provide clear wavelength and power data for transparency.
Integrative Veterinary Medicine for Dogs: Dr. Richter on Longevity, Cannabis & Acupressure
Q: What about telemedicine and virtual medicine in the veterinary field?
Dr. Richter states that while there will be regulatory barriers, having conversations through telehealth can provide valuable support and information for pet owners.
Integrative Veterinary Medicine for Dogs: Dr. Richter on Longevity, Cannabis & Acupressure
Q: Did you always want to be a veterinarian and specifically with holistic practices?
Dr. Richter mentions always being an animal person with a scientific background, but his interest in integrative medicine developed later after experiencing positive outcomes with alternative treatments.
