Creating a Rescue Group Dedicated to Salukis With Janet Noll
Many people fall in love with the look of these dogs but know very little about how different they can be. Not a dog for everyone, many find their way into shelters, or in a worst-case scenario, find themselves dumped on the side of the road in a blizzard. Janet Noll is working hard to change that.
Today’s Pet Game Changer is Janet Noll, the Support Council President of the Saluki Tree of Life Alliance, Inc. (STOLA), a 501c3 rescue organization.
STOLA's mission is rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming Salukis, and educating prospective adopters and the public about this rarest of breeds.
STOLA’s adoption success rate is outstanding thanks to their approach to preparing dogs for rehoming, matching the right adopters with the right dogs, and providing ongoing mentoring to adoptive families.

Dr. Becker Discusses What to Look for in a Joint Support Supplement
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 ultraprocessed diets, or those that eat homemade prey model diets lacking in important nutrients are at increased risk of CCL injury.

Dr. Becker Discusses What to Look for in a Pet Bed
Since “fleas” is one of the most frequently searched terms on this site, and since the 2023 pesky pest season will be here before we know it, I decided to tackle this ticklish topic a little early this year.
Flea season will be here before we know it, and if you live in a flea-endemic area, it can be a challenge to keep your pet pest-free.
Fleas have a 4-stage life cycle; adult fleas are what you’ll find on your dog or cat, but believe it or not, they represent only 5% of the fleas in your environment.
Signs of fleas on your pet include scratching, patchy hair loss, and physical evidence of fleas or flea dirt.
A flea comb is your best defense against adult fleas on your pet; there are several steps you’ll also need to take around your home to eliminate pests in the other 3 life stages.
Nontoxic repellents can be an effective deterrent to fleas on your pet and in your environment.

Discovering the Importance of Nutrition With Dr. Conor Brady
Today I'm talking with Dr. Conor Brady, author of the fantastic new book, Feeding Dogs: The Science Behind The Dry Versus Raw Debate. The following article covers many of the highlights of our discussion, but I encourage you to watch the full video as well.
Dr. Conor Brady is the author of a groundbreaking new book titled “Feeding Dogs: The Science Behind the Dry Versus Raw Debate.
Dr. Brady’s passion for food-as-medicine arose from the plight of his 7-year-old dog with debilitating hip dysplasia.
Dr. Brady was improving the health of his own dog and the guide dogs he trained with raw diets, but the vets and others he worked with were uninterested — so he struck out on his own to make the case for feeding raw.
His incredibly well-researched and footnoted book is the result of a decade of work; it makes complex topics understandable and digestible for both veterinarians and pet parents.
Of particular benefit is the proof the book provides that ultra-processed pet food is tied directly to the epidemic of diseases in today’s canine companions.

Leaving Conventional Veterinary Medicine Behind With Dr. Jordan Kocen
At Veterinary Holistic Center in Springfield, Virginia, pets get access to multiple integrative modalities all under one roof.
Its founder, Dr. Jordan Kocen, was nominated for a Healthy Pets Game Changer Award by Dave W.
Veterinary Holistic Center in Springfield offers natural veterinary services, including acupuncture, homeopathy, Chinese herbal medicine, chiropractic, massage and even animal communication — that are lacking in many areas of the U.S.
What makes the facility unique, aside from its integrative focus, is that it’s a home for all types of practitioners to practice and work together to build the best plan of care for each animal.
By putting the pets at the center of their care, they’re able to provide solutions for health problems that haven’t responded to conventional care.

Today’s Pet Game Changer is Becca Edwards, who turned her volunteer work in animal rescue into a full-time career as dog kennel manager at the Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County.
A big part of Becca’s job is placing as many shelter dogs as possible into foster homes where they can receive the kind of attention that will best prepare them to find new forever homes.
For people thinking about working at a shelter or rescue, Becca offers some sage advice: it’s important to be a people person as well as an animal lover when the goal is to find new forever families for homeless pets.

A Passion for Foxes, the Wildly Misunderstood Animal with Mikayla Raines
Today’s Pet Game Changer is Mikayla Raines, founder of the SaveAFox Rescue, dedicated to improving the lives of surrendered, abandoned, and abused domestic foxes bred in captivity either as pets or at fur farms.
It was a gray fox rescued by her mother, a wildlife rehabilitator, that sparked young Mikayla’s passion for foxes.
After becoming a licensed wildlife rehabilitator herself, and also training as a veterinary technician, Mikayla ultimately chose to follow her dream and create SaveAFox Rescue.
These days, Mikayla spends her time working with staff, volunteers, and other rescues to give homeless captive-born foxes everything they need to live their best lives.

Creating a Positive Environment for Rescued Animals With Molly Goldston
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.

The Challenges of Moving to a Different Country and Starting a Rescue With Tamara Johnston
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.

Overcoming Boredom to Provide Better Pet Care With Dr. Judy Morgan
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.

Fostering Teamwork Between Clients and Veterinarians With Dr. Deirdre Farr
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.

How to Give Your Cat a Pill
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.
