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.

In this episode, Mark Scott is joined by Dr. Conor Brady to tackle a growing issue affecting our four-legged friends – obesity. With over half of cats and dogs now overweight or obese, they explore what a healthy body shape really looks like and why those extra pounds can seriously impact your pet’s health and lifespan. From the pitfalls of processed pet food to the power of a species-appropriate raw diet, this episode is packed with practical advice. You’ll learn how to assess your pet’s body condition, the role of movement (think hydrotherapy and acupuncture!), and simple ways to make better feeding choices – all to help your best friend live a longer, happier life.

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.

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.
