Today’s Pet Game Changer is Molly Goldston, founder of Saving Grace, a non-profit organization in North Carolina that rescues dogs on euthanasia lists across the state and pulls out all the stops to get them ready for adoption. Molly began working in animal sheltering right out of college, and found a huge need for rescue services in her own backyard and throughout her county and state; many of the shelters in NC, especially in rural areas, can’t provide veterinary or adoption services. Saving Grace rescues, rehabs, and rehomes about 4,000 dogs a year, and depends on volunteers, fosters, and individual donations to save pets from euthanasia and prepare them for adoption.

Today’s Pet Game Changer is Australian native Tamara Johnston, founder of the Thai Street Paws Rescue in Songkhla, Thailand. Tamara’s first-ever dog and the inspiration for her rescue was a puppy, Bella, who she found abandoned outside a temple in Thailand where she was working as a teacher. Many years later, as Bella lay dying in her arms, Tamara promised her she would continue to help her friends — the starving, abused street dogs of Thailand. The daily challenges Tamara faces in her quest to improve the lives of the dogs of Songkhla often seem insurmountable, but she keeps going, grateful for every small kindness she is offered. Tamara is a shining example of why the Game Changer series exists; I want to bring awareness to the important work game changers are doing around the world.

Dr. Judy Morgan has dedicated her life to caring for animals — and now she’s focused on educating every person she can on how to help their pets lead long, healthy lives. Nominated for a Healthy Pets Game Changer Award by Donna, Dr. Morgan started out like many veterinarians — bored and frustrated by the lack of tools to help her patients thrive. After an initial journey into chiropractic care, Dr. Morgan’s eyes were opened to integrative veterinary care and the power of healthy food. Dr. Morgan has countless examples of animals’ lives turned around by holistic, integrative care, including dietary changes; even their owners often get healthier as a result. While Dr. Morgan retired from clinical practice in 2020, she remains active in the holistic veterinary community. It’s her passion to educate others and share the power of natural strategies for helping animals to stay well and heal from disease.

Dr. Deirdre Farr has spent decades improving animals’ lives using alternative and complementary care. After experiencing burnout and frustration at the tool given to her by conventional veterinary care, Dr. Farr was about to change career paths, until she discovered acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and chiropractic care. Initially, Dr. Farr’s colleagues didn’t believe in the alternative tools she was offering, but when she was able to help their “dead-end cases,” their minds changed. When Dr. Farr works with a patient, she sees them as a whole being — one that’s not only physical but also emotional and spiritual in nature; this is key to supporting their wellness. Dr. Farr retired from veterinary care in 2019, but her passion to help animals brought her back into practice; she can now be found working one afternoon a week at Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center in Des Moines.

Dr. Alicja Izydorczyk, or Dr. Ala as she’s known, was nominated for a Healthy Pets Game Changer Award for the incredible work she’s doing with Soi Dog Foundation. Established in 2003 in Phuket, Thailand, Soi Dog was formed to help street dogs and cats on the island. They’ve since expanded to Bangkok and at least 25 provinces around Thailand, working with 13 mobile teams. In addition to CNVR, which stands for catch, neuter, vaccinate, return, Soi Dog is actively engaged with the community to provide education about humane treatment of animals. Since 2003, Soi Dog has reached nearly 800,000 animals; they also have a dog hospital and a cat hospital, where 150 dogs and 200 cats may be present at any given time. Soi Dog’s shelter may have up to 1,600 animals in their care, facilitating 40 to 50 adoptions each month. Most of their adoptions are local, but they also do international adoptions.

Today’s Pet Game Changer is Dr. Andrea Carlson, owner of Southlake Animal Hospital in Merrillville, IN, which offers integrative veterinary medicine with a focus on healing the whole pet through good nutrition, a great immune system, and a combination of traditional and holistic therapies. Dr. Andrea, like so many holistically oriented practitioners, has a love of learning, and her thirst for knowledge has allowed her to add many natural and alternative therapies to her veterinary toolbox to better serve her patients and clients. One thing Dr. Andrea loves about her work is her ability to offer hope to pets sent to her as “hopeless” cases; she also loves getting referrals of clients interested in a more holistic approach to their pet’s care.

Observing that medical advances haven't resulted in healthier pets, Dr. Judy decided to forge her own path. Today this Game Changer treats and prevents tumors and other malignancies with remarkable success by supporting the body's natural healing ability. Today’s Pet Game Changer is veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek, owner of Animal Healing Arts, an integrative telemedicine practice in Littleton, CO. Dr. Judy learned early in her 35-years-and-counting career that she needed to go far beyond her conventional medicine training to provide more options, and most importantly, hope, to her patients and their humans. Dr. Judy’s veterinary toolbox has grown quite large over her years in practice; at least half her patients these days are pets with cancer whose owners are looking for alternative therapies.

If you’re like the majority of people owned by a cat, pilling little Fluffy – otherwise known as trying to place a tiny, hard object into the mouth of an unwilling creature with sharp claws and teeth – is not something you look forward to. Fortunately, there are a few different techniques for pilling a cat, because every cat is a little different, and what works for one may not work for another.

While certain breeds (including America's most popular breed) may be more susceptible to developing cruciate ligament rupture, the reality is, this painful and debilitating condition can occur in any dog, no matter the breed, size or age. Now there's a way to know your dog's risk with 98% accuracy. A genetic test is now available that screens for risk of cruciate ligament rupture in Labrador retrievers, For about $250, the genetic screening evaluates multiple gene variations that, in combination, predict a dog’s genetic risk of cruciate ligament rupture with 98% accuracy. Knowing in advance if your dog is at high risk — before cruciate ligament rupture — allows for personalized interventions that could help reduce the risk and even prevent the condition from occurring. In most cases, ligament rupture occurs due to gradual deterioration that took place over a period of months or years. In my experience, under-exercised dogs that eat poor-quality ultra processed diets, or those that eat homemade prey model diets lacking in important nutrients are at increased risk of CCL injury.
