For Pet's Sake: The pet wellbeing podcast

In this episode Rowan and our super Holistic Vet Wendy explore the reasons for intolerances and how Intestinal Permeability can be the cornerstone of this health jigsaw.

They discuss the easiest ways to heal the gut, things to look out for and how bone broth may not “always” be the answer.

They also explore the best testing methods to ensure that intolerances are easily and correctly identified.

As ever they dart down more rabbit holes than an excited Jack Russel and come up with more future podcast topics.

Rowan Sanderson interviews Dr Isla Fishburn, leading conservation biologist and canine wellness practitioner. Rowan and Isla discuss the characteristics of your dog, functional characters, group compositions of wolves with a bonus section about fasting for dogs.

Understanding the group composition and characteristics of wolves will help you to better live in harmony with your dog. Dr Isla reveals all.

Rowan Sanderson sits down with Dr. Brendan Clarke to discuss how to identify heatstroke, what are the symptoms, and how to prevent it, and what to do if your dog is currently experiencing it.

Heatstroke takes place when an animal is not able to adequately in a hot environment. For many animals, their normal temperature is around 38 degrees. If their core temperature elevates above 40 degrees, a variety of physiological changes occur and they may exhibit symptoms such as nausea, loss of energy, or, in the worst case scenario, seizures.

Listen in as Rowan and Brendan give their pointers on how to minimize your pet’s risk of heatstroke and what you can do if you don’t have immediate access to the vet while your dog is overheating.

We are often asked whether it is okay to feed puppies a raw diet. Will they get the appropriate levels of nutrients they need to live a long and happy life?

Join Rowan, chief nutritional officer at Bella and Duke, where he discusses this topic, specifically the perfect ratios of calcium and phosphorous for puppies to avoid deficiencies, with Dr Nick Thompson and Dr Conor Brady. The guys explain why these ratios have come to the fore in recent years.

Learn why the ratio of calcium and phosphorous your dog is getting in their diet is not something you need to worry too much about when you feed a complete raw diet, appropriate to your dog’s digestive system, whether you have a giant, medium or toy breed.
