Update on Protect the Pets Movement
Dr. John Robb gives an update on his Protect the Pets movement to transform and bring back morals to the practice of veterinary medicine. The primary goal of Protect the Pets is to change vaccination laws and practices such that pets are appropriately immunized but no longer over-vaccinated.

Dr. Becker Interviews Dr. Hofve About Declawing Cats
Today, I have a very special guest I'm interviewing by phone, Dr. Jean Hofve, and we're going to discuss the distressing topic of declawing.
An author and consultant, who writes for several online and print publications and has co-authored two books, The Complete Guide to Holistic Cat Care, and Paleo Dog: How to Give Your Best Friend Long Life, Healthy Weight, and Freedom from Illness by Nurturing his Inner Wolf. Dr. Jean also runs the award-winning Little Big Cat website along with Jackson Galaxy. The subject of today’s discussion between Dr. Becker and Dr. Hofve is declawing of cats.
Dr. Becker and Dr. Jean agree that veterinary students aren’t adequately trained in the consequences of declawing procedures, including complications, side effects, and aftercare. Both also agree the procedure is barbaric, and in fact, the first time Dr. Jean viewed an instructional video on declawing, she had to leave abruptly to run to the restroom to be sick.
Dr. Jean explains in graphic detail what a declawing procedure actually is — how it’s done, the methods used, and the fact that the procedure changes everything about the way a cat walks. And she discusses the complications that can arise from bandaging the paws after the procedure, the extreme pain declawing causes, and the fact that adequate pain management is not the standard of care in most cases. The doctors also talk about the behavioral and emotional changes that occur in many declawed cats. These changes are usually pain-related — a fact that many veterinarians and most pet owners aren’t aware of.
Dr. Jean discusses many alternatives to declawing, and the fact that cats can be trained to use appropriate scratching surfaces by creating barriers to the use of inappropriate surfaces. She and Dr. Becker discuss the importance of helping new kitten owners learn to perform routine grooming tasks, like nail clips. Cats — especially kittens — can be conditioned to accept nail trims as no big deal.
Finally, Dr. Becker and Dr. Jean discuss how cat owners react when they learn the real deal about declawing — that it’s not a harmless permanent nail trim, but rather at least 10 unbelievably painful amputations of a portion of a cat’s toes. They discuss the fact that while much of the civilized world no longer declaws, the procedure is still done routinely in the U.S. and Canada. And they agree that we all need to keep spreading the word about the realities of declawing, with the hope that in the future, fewer and fewer cat owners will request it, and fewer and fewer veterinarians will perform the procedure.

The Importance of Water Quality in Your Pet's Health
Today, I have a water expert with me, Paul Barattiero. I asked Paul to give us a little background on how he became so passionate and knowledgeable about water.
Water is essential for life, but many people don’t realize just how many impurities and contaminants are in the tap water they give their pets to drink.
Some of the contaminants in the public water supply include pharmaceuticals, pesticides, metals, chlorine, fluoride, chromium-6 and glyphosate.
Carbon water filters (e.g., Brita filters) improve the taste of the water, but don’t remove lots of impurities; reverse osmosis produces clean water, but wastes 50% to 75% of the water put into the system.
Long-term use of distilled water can leach important minerals from a pet’s body; alkaline water is a bad idea for most dogs and cats, whose urine pH should be slightly acidic
A good alternative is to put hydrogen in your pet’s purified water.

Dr. Becker and Dr. Roman Discuss Fecal Transplants
Today, I’m talking with Dr. Margo Roman, a fellow integrative veterinarian and owner of Main Street Animal Services of Hopkinton (MASH), which is located in the Boston area.
A fecal transplant is just what it sounds like. Poop from a healthy animal is introduced into the body of an unhealthy animal.
Dr. Roman has used fecal transplants to successfully treat dogs and cats with a wide variety of conditions, including severe gastrointestinal disease, behavioral issues, atopic dermatitis, and coprophagia (poop eating).

The Forever Dog Life: A Lifestyle Manual for Your Pet
My guest today is my very good friend Rodney Habib, and he’s here to discuss another exciting project we’ve teamed up on, our second book! Our first book, The Forever Dog, was the “why”— it’s heavy on words, but light on pictures.
The official book release is June 4th, but we’re encouraging everyone to preorder now, because our first book (The Forever Dog) sold out almost immediately, and we want all of you passionate pet parents out there to avoid disappointment and a potentially long wait this time around.
The Forever Dog (book No. 1), was the “why” behind the importance of providing a thriving, sustainable lifestyle and environment for your animal companion; The Forever Dog Life (the new book) is “how” — a step-by-step manual presented in a colorful, photo-rich format.
Listen in or read along as Rodney and I discuss the many ways we believe The Forever Dog Life can help pet parents everywhere learn simple ways they can help their dogs live longer and better from the inside-out and the outside-in with easy-to-follow tools, recipes, and tips.

Dr. Becker Interviews Dr. Yarnall About CBD-Rich Hemp Oil for Cats
My celebrity guest today to help us celebrate Cat Week here at Mercola Healthy Pets is the wonderful Dr. Celeste Yarnall. Celeste was an actress, and you may know her from her roles on Star Trek and co-starring with Elvis. "That was another life," she says.
Celeste discovered CBD-rich hemp oil on her quest to relieve the symptoms and side effects of surgery and chemotherapy to address her cancer.
She offers a wealth of information about the benefits of CBD-rich hemp oil for cats with emotional and behavioral issues, as well as those dealing with an acute or chronic disease.

Thyroid Disease in Pets with Dr. Jean Dodds (Part 2 of 2)
Dr. Becker chats with Dr. Jean Dodds, the leading authority on thyroid disease in pets. Dr. Dodds discusses the best tests for an accurate diagnosis of hypothyroidism in dogs, and why some cats go from hyper to hypo.
Dr. Jean Dodds is a world-renowned expert on thyroid disease in pets, and today she discusses the importance of using the right tests to accurately assess thyroid function in dogs and cats.
Canine hypothyroidism typically goes undiagnosed until it is far progressed and 70% or more of the thyroid gland has been compromised. Dr. Dodds recommends a complete thyroid antibody profile versus the total T4 test.
Hyperthyroid cats often become hypothyroid within a matter of months after medical intervention that inactivates their thyroid gland. These cats do quite well with added thyroid hormones that return them to a state of metabolic balance.

Groundbreaking Laser Procedure Improves Breathing in Flat-Faced Dogs
Done on an outpatient basis, this minimally invasive procedure is dramatically improving the health and quality of life of French Bulldogs and other brachycephalic pets.
Today I’m Zooming with a veterinarian in Boca Raton, FL, Dr. Boaz Man, who is using a groundbreaking CO2 laser procedure to dramatically improve the health and quality of life of French Bulldogs and other “extreme” flat-faced breeds.
Dr. Man is a general practice veterinarian, not a board certified veterinary surgeon, but he has taken it upon himself to learn the skills and techniques necessary to perform this successful life-saving surgery on dogs with a compromised quality of life who struggle simply to breathe.
The CO2 laser procedure is done on an outpatient basis, is minimally invasive, produces minimal bleeding, and no stitches or “cone of shame” are required; the laser is used to open the nostrils and remove excess tissue from the nose and windpipe
Dr. Man is hopeful that many more veterinarians will learn the technique, because French Bulldogs and other brachycephalic breeds are hugely popular in the U.S., and many of them are in very poor health.
Ultimately, the onus is on breeders and owners/prospective owners of flat-faced dogs to act responsibly and ethically to dramatically improve breeding practices with the goal of returning these deserving dogs to good health and a good quality of life.

Dr. Karen Becker and Clint Ober Discuss Grounding
By the time your kitty reaches 11, he's considered a senior. With proper care, he can easily live another 8, 10, or even 12 years if he's in good health. How can you help your cat thrive, and give him the love and attention he needs when challenging old-age issues like vocalizing at night arise?
Cats are officially seniors by the time they reach 11 years of age, and “super seniors” at 15 and beyond; kitties today often live well into their teens and early 20s.
At around age 11, most cats have slowed down a bit, are more easily stressed in response to changes in their routine or environment and begin to develop the same types of health problems older humans face.
A 12 to 15-year-old cat is likely to have some vision and hearing loss, and can also develop age-related cognitive dysfunction; kitties at this age tend to do a lot more napping.
Kitties at 16 or older are moving and thinking more slowly and have probably developed a few age-related health issues; signs that your cat is in pain can include hiding, panting, shortness of breath, teeth grinding, loss of interest in food, or reluctance to move around.
There are many things you can do to help your aging cat enjoy a good quality of life, including feeding the right nutrition, providing opportunities for exercise and environmental enrichment, offering beneficial supplements, and setting aside time each day to have positive interactions with your pet.

Dr. Richard Patton’s Views on Animal Nutrition
Taught by animals and their owners, this world-renowned animal nutritionist exposes the 900-pound gorilla sitting in many pet food bowls. Find out why the most economical - and most popular - approach to feeding pets may appear to meet your pet's needs today but implode on you later.
Dr. Richard Patton, a favorite nutritionist of the fresh feeding community, believes that “nutrition is never a crisis” — but it can lead to one over time
The “900-pound gorilla in the room” when it comes to processed pet food is excessive levels of soluble carbohydrates.
The primordial diet of dogs and cats, which evolved from the wild world, contained very little in the way of soluble carbs; discarding it will naturally have consequences.
No one, including AAFCO, is measuring the lifetime nutritional adequacy of commercial pet food.

Combining Mental and Physical Stimulation to Prevent Behavior Problems in Pets
Giving your dog a lot of physical exercise may help him become more athletic, but it doesn't address hyperactivity or provide mental stimulation. Rather, instead of over-exercising, this approach works well for stressed-out or even injured pets and helps build strong dog-owner bonds.
Today is day three of bark & whiskers Creating Heathy, Happy Pets Week 2023, and our guest is Jo Woodward, a positive reward-based dog trainer and canine enrichment specialist in North Yorkshire in the U.K.
In 2011, Jo took in a troubled rescue dog with issues so severe she couldn't live comfortably with Jo's family; it was that little pup who sparked Jo's passion to work with dogs and understand what makes them tick.
Twelve years ago, Jo launched her business, FurryTails, as a daycare, home boarding, and dog walking service; today, FurryTails specializes in dog training and canine enrichment.
Jo believes the foundation of training starts with enrichment, because dogs need to be mentally AND physically stimulated to prevent behavior problems, relieve boredom, foster a sense of calm and confidence, and strengthen the bond they share with their humans.

AGEs: A Toxin Lurking in Ultraprocessed Pet Food
Welcome to day one of bark & whiskers' Creating Healthy, Happy Pets Week 2023! Today's expert introduces us to a threat that your pet may be exposed to on a daily basis that can promote diseases like diabetes, heart disease, brain and nerve disorders, as well as the growth of tumors.
Today is day one of bark & whiskers Creating Heathy, Happy Pets Week 2023, and our first guest is Dr. David Turner, an expert on the dangers of advanced glycation end products in ultraprocessed foods and president and co-founder of the Anti-A.G.E.S. Foundation.
In our interview, Dr. Turner explains exactly what AGEs are, how they end up in processed human and pet foods, and the ways in which they turbocharge the aging process.
One challenge in limiting the damage AGEs do in the body is that the majority of people, and the vast majority of pets in the U.S. eat mostly ultraprocessed diets.

Possible Culprit in the Growing Incidence of Cancer
He didn't expect to find this clue on his own two dogs' fur, but when he did, what he went on to uncover will alarm you about what your own dog or cat might be eating (most pets ARE fed this type of food). Find out exactly what variety of food he won't feed his dogs again...
Dr. Becker interviews Dr. Robert Turesky, a research scientist for the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the New York State Department of Health, on his study of hair analysis to detect the presence of specific carcinogens in cooked meat.
As a test, Dr. Turesky analyzed the fur of his own dogs and much to his surprise, discovered the presence of one of the carcinogens he is researching. Since his dogs don’t eat grilled steaks or burgers, it seemed clear they were being exposed through their own processed pet food diet.
Dr. Becker discovered that including Dr. Turesky’s published study, there appear to be only two studies in existence that address the potential for carcinogenic substances in processed pet food. When we consider the fact that most dogs and cats eat commercial processed diets their entire lives, and when we also take into account the escalating incidence of cancer in pets – especially dogs – it seems this topic is deserving of more attention.
Based on Dr. Turesky’s findings on carcinogen levels in cooked poultry-based protein sources, added to what we know about the extreme processing dry pet food undergoes, it seems the worst thing you can feed your beloved dog or cat is a poultry-based kibble. As always, fresh raw, freeze-dried or air-dried meat-based diets, well-balanced, are Dr. Becker’s recommendation for healthy dogs and cats.

AGEs in Ultraprocessed Pet Foods Can Lead to Disease Development With Dr. Joe Bartges
Heat promotes interactions between sugars and proteins in foods, and the higher the heat used to process the food, the higher the levels of dietary AGEs. Find out what happens when your dog or cat consumes AGEs from the two highest heat ultraprocessed foods - kibble and canned food.
CANWI is a nonprofit organization I co-founded with Dr. Karen Becker; our mission is to conduct independent, unbiased pet food research and share our findings with every interested pet parent, veterinary school, and pet food company.
Today’s guest is Dr. Joe Bartges, professor of internal medicine, interventional radiology and nutrition at the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Our discussion is around commercial pet food and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and their effect on dogs and cats.
We also discuss how our collaborative research will be made available to pet parents, veterinarians, other interested parties, and hopefully serve as motivation for the processed pet food industry.

How Functional Medicine With Love and Commitment Can Lead to Better Outcomes in Pets
This 14-year-old Austy girl started falling and having trouble pooping and getting back up, as what can happen with older pets. But when Austy's owner-veterinarian made these three changes to her care, she not only lived almost two more years, but, miraculously, started going for jogs again.
Today’s Pet Game Changer is Dr. Katie Kangas, who runs Integrative Veterinary Care in San Diego, CA, a practice focused on prevention and natural healing and wellness.
Like so many veterinary Game Changers, Dr. Katie’s inspiration to branch out into the fields of holistic and functional medicine was her very own 14-year-old dog.
Dr. Katie started her integrative journey over 15 years ago, and today she runs a busy practice helping to maintain and restore health in her patients, and often inspiring their owners to take care of their health as well.

This oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and a terrific way to support your pet's immune system and overall health, but it's been given a bad rap in recent years. Not only is it one of the best topical therapies, but it's also excellent for brushing teeth, staving off doggy dementia and much more.
Carmina O’Connor and Charisa Antigua are twin sisters and the entrepreneurs behind CocoTherapy, a line of organic coconut oil products.
In the Philippines, Carmina and Charisa were raised with an understanding of the nourishing and healing properties of coconut oil; now in the U.S., the sisters have grown their family’s third generation business into a flourishing enterprise.
Coconut oil can be used to soothe and heal a wide range of skin issues in pets; given orally, it offers tremendous health benefits thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties.
MCT oil is also beneficial for slowing canine cognitive decline and can help reduce seizure potential in epileptic dogs.
