Episode 8: 3 harmful myths about raising puppies: PART 1 - Socialization and Vaccines
Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias
05/14/21 • 26 min
In this first episode of a three-part series on raising healthy puppies, Dr. Dobias uncovers the first common, yet harmful, myth about how to rear a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted puppy.
Many well-meaning dog parents have been told by their veterinarian that it is dangerous to socialize their pup before they get all their “puppy shots.” In reality, this approach is harmful for puppy socialization and is based on decades of misinformation, the greed of vaccine manufacturers, and a general complacency with the status quo.
Dr. Dobias also discusses how to harness the power of a puppy’s natural immunity, and outlines a vaccination protocol that reduces the number of vaccines needed, while allowing them to safely socialize with other pups and gentle adult dogs.
Discover this and much more in an informative three-part puppy series.

Episode 49: The Powerful Role of Hormones in Dogs & The Risks of Traditional Spaying and Neutering
Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias
02/13/25 • 40 min
In this eye-opening discussion, we continue our crucial conversation with Dr. Michelle Kutzler about one thing that's shaking up the veterinary world. Building upon the foundation laid in Part 1, this episode offers deeper insights and practical solutions for pet owners and veterinarians alike on the hormone imbalance in spayed and neutered dogs.
Key Highlights:
- The Hidden Danger: Spaying and neutering can lead to dangerously high levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) in dogs, causing a range of health problems.
- Surprising Health Impacts: From joint issues and cruciate ligament ruptures to thyroid problems and even behavioral changes, the effects of elevated LH are far-reaching.
- A Potential Solution: Learn about an innovative hormone-regulating implant that's showing promising results in treating these issues.
- Real-Life Success Story: Hear how one dog's life was transformed within days of receiving this groundbreaking treatment.
Shocking Statistics:
- LH levels in spayed/neutered dogs can reach up to 90 ng/mL, compared to just 1 ng/mL in intact dogs during peak times.
. - Studies show a significant increase in fear-related behaviors and aggression in dogs after spaying/neutering.
This episode is a must-listen for every dog owner and veterinary professional. It challenges long-held beliefs about pet care and offers hope for dogs suffering from unexplained health issues.
Don't miss out on this game-changing information that could revolutionize how we care for our canine companions.
Listen now and discover how you can potentially improve your dog's health and quality of life!

Episode 39: Toxic positivity, wrinkles, and inner beauty
Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias
09/24/22 • 17 min
In this episode, I explain how toxic positivity leads to the perception that emotions are divided into two groups, the negative and the positive. Anger, frustration, fear, and feeling overwhelmed, are normal emotions just the same as joy, happiness, and excitement. They would not be able to exist without each other, and they are all part of being human.
I also share my thoughts on embracing your inner beauty while aging, not viewing wrinkles as a failure but as a sign of wisdom, grace, and a well-lived life.
Thank you for listening!

Episode 6: Knowing the pinched hose principle may save your dog’s life
Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias
04/30/21 • 30 min
Nature is the perfect architect. Every bone, blood vessel, nerve, muscle, and organ is placed in an intricate and deliberate design. But what happens when something in the design becomes out of place or misaligned?
Dogs love to play, chase, and be active, which often leads to spinal twists, misalignments, and injuries. Many well-meaning dog lovers use collars and retractable leashes that can also cause damage to a dog’s alignment.
These subtle injuries are most often undetected and untreated, because most veterinarians are not trained to recognize these invisible changes in the spine and muscles.
Spinal misalignment can present in surprising ways, such as scratching, skin rashes, muscle spams, diarrhea, incontinence, stomach bloat, paw licking, and even organ failure.
Learn more about the “pinched hose” principle and what you can do if you suspect your dog has an undetected misalignment or injury.

Listen as Dr. Dobias discusses his perspective on the the world’s current events as someone who has lived behind the Iron Curtain, along with his thoughts on the two sides of the COVID-19 vaccine debate, and why redefining "wrong" and "right" in search of safety and happiness, and staying in the middle, is important.
After all, everyone deserves to live in a world where freedom of choice, empathy, and tolerance prevails.
