It's been nearly 2 months since Romeo left and I'm still struggling to talk about it. All of my pets have been incredibly special to me, and much like every other, Romeo was different.

He connected to me in a more spiritual manner than any other cat I've had, and I only wish I had latched onto that sooner.

I struggled making this episode, but found the courage in a friend's words telling me that it is part of my journey to share his story.

I've talked about Romeo before, and I know this is only the beginning of a new way in which to speak about him. I hope that something in this episode resonates with you.

We did our first ever LIVE ASK ME ANYTHING!

We were asked about transitioning cats onto fresh foods, resource guarding in dogs, and so much more!

Thank you to everyone who came and asked questions. I know we didn't get to them all, but I'm sure we'll do this again, so if you're not following on Instagram, make sure you do so that you can be notified!

Trying to choose a pet food is a daunting task for many pet parents ... and when we start thinking more deeply about sourcing, it can be even more complex.

For me, a company who values transparency is one that I choose to support. Evermore Pet Food has been a leader in the pet food space for decades and is continuing to do so with the Better Chicken Commitment.

Hanna joins me to discuss what this means and how you can better understand label claims.

Isabel and I continue the conversation around raising happy, healthy cats this month and we tackle our perspective on the issue in Ohio where there are claims of immigrants eating pet dogs and cats as well as ducks and geese out of the ponds. Oh, and we SING!

I've recently found HTMA, or Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis testing, and it has been making a big difference in my one-on-one consultations with pet parents.

Dr. Ava Frick joins the podcast today to not only help us understand what HTMA testing does, but she also gives us a glimpse into her practice using Ayurveda.

Her story is so interesting, and so is Ayurvedic medicine. Join is as we discuss how holistic and integrative practices have helped so many pets and their people.

September is Happy Cat Month!

Every September I like to create special content designed around being the best cat moms (and dads) that we can be because I feel that cats are under-served, especially in the healthy pet space.

Cats are incredible wild creatures that live in our homes, and treating them as the special species they are makes all the difference in the world for their wellbeing!

If you're anything like me, you have a supplement graveyard in your pantry. There's no shame here, I completely understand.

I also know that when we know better, we do better, and supplements are a very confusing world of shiny objects with magic marketing claims!

That's why I invited Krysta Fox of Pug & Hound Pet Apothecary back on the show to break down how she decides what to carry in her store.

My hope is that this will help you make better decisions, save some money, and be more mindful when selecting your next supplement!

Medical error is on of the top 3 leading causes of death in humans in America, and if we know anything from the pet insurance reports, the causes human and pet death mirror each other.

It is harder to tell with medical error, because there isn't a reporting system in veterinary medicine like there is in human medicine.

In this week's Weekly Pet Roundup, Isabel and I discuss a recent case in Chicago where a woman took her dog in to a Banfield pet hospital for a teeth cleaning and she was spayed instead!

We also give you practical advice for things you can do as the pet parent to avoid mistakes like these as much as possible.
