In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Barbara Royal — an integrative veterinarian, author, educator, and the founder of the Wild Health philosophy.

Dr. Royal shares her journey from growing up as the only science-minded kid in a family of artists and musicians, to working with spotted owls in Oregon, to building one of Chicago's most respected integrative veterinary practices — where she has cared for the pets of some of the world's most famous people, including Oprah.

We talk about:

  • What Wild Health really means — and the spotted owl encounter that started it all
  • Why being 100% present is the most powerful healing tool a veterinarian (or anyone) can have
  • How the energy in an exam room shapes the outcome of treatment
  • The "I Must Be Wrong" philosophy — and why admitting mistakes makes you a better doctor
  • Why boundaries transform anxious, confused dogs into calm and confident ones
  • The connection between our own patterns, guilt, and the way we show up for our animals

This conversation goes far beyond veterinary medicine. We explore focus, control, nature, purpose, and what it means to let go — including a story about a flat tire in Botswana, a full moon, and eight giraffes running across the twilight.

I hope you enjoy this honest, warm, and deeply inspiring conversation with Dr. Barbara Royal.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Odette Suter — an integrative veterinarian, microbiome expert, and the person behind the wonderfully playful title “Dr. Poop Lady.”

Dr. Suter shares her journey from Switzerland to North America, from working with horses and hoof care to becoming a veterinarian focused on a deeper understanding of health, the microbiome, and the connection between body and mind.

We talk about:

  • Why the gut microbiome plays such an important role in your dog’s health
  • How fecal microbiota transplants can support dogs struggling with chronic issues
  • Why questioning conventional approaches can open the door to better care
  • The connection between our emotions, nervous system, and the animals we love
  • How our own experiences and patterns shape the way we show up for our pets

This conversation goes far beyond veterinary medicine. We explore purpose, personal growth, resilience, and the courage it takes to follow your own path — even when it looks different from everyone else’s.

I hope you enjoy this honest and inspiring conversation with Dr. Odette Suter.

I’m really excited to share this episode with Dr. Lynda Loudon — an emergency veterinarian, end-of-life practitioner, and one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know in veterinary medicine.

This conversation goes far beyond dog health. We explore the deep connection we share with our dogs, the fear of making the wrong decisions, and the pressure many of us feel to do everything perfectly for the animals we love.

Along the way, we’ll get into:

• Knowing when it’s time to say goodbye
• Why more time isn’t always better time
• Cancer, pesticides, and environmental toxins
• The emotional burden carried by dog guardians
• Hormone-sparing spays, vasectomies, and long-term health
• What dogs can teach us about presence, love, and letting go

There’s laughter, vulnerability, honesty, and so many moments in this episode that I think will stay with you long after you listen.

I’m so excited to sit down with my dear friend Catherine Edwards, a holistic biologist, healer, and podcaster, to explore how we can better support our dogs in today’s challenging world. Together, we open up a real, heart‑to‑heart conversation about the “toxic soup” our animals live in and how to make simple, practical changes that actually feel doable, not overwhelming.

We’ll talk about:

  • How modern toxins (food, water, EMFs, chemicals) affect our dogs’ health and behavior.
  • The core foundations of holistic dog health: real food, clean water, movement, and emotional connection.
  • Zoo pharmacognosy (animal self‑medicating), with powerful real‑life examples of dogs choosing what they need to heal.
  • How to ask better questions at the vet, recognize red flags, and stay empowered as your dog’s guardian.
  • Why spending present, quality time with your animal friend may be one of the most healing “therapies” you can offer.

Along the way, we share stories, mindset shifts, and gentle guidance to help you feel more confident, less guilty, and more deeply connected to your dog’s unique needs.

Along the way, we also reflect on mindset, resilience, and the importance of staying grounded while navigating the realities of veterinary practice.

In this new episode of Get to Know Your Vet, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Karen Becker for one of the most honest and surprising chats! What starts as a playful card game quickly turns into a deep dive into dog health myths, grief, resilience, and what it really means to speak the truth in veterinary medicine.

We explore the “elephants in the room” and why it can be so hard (and sometimes risky) for vets to talk about them openly. You’ll also see a side of both of us: how we cope with loss, the fear of losing memories, and the pressure of trying to show up for everyone while still staying grounded and kind to ourselves.

I hope that you enjoy this episode of Get to Know Your Vet and continue enjoying getting to know the humans behind the veterinary medicine.

In this second episode of Get to Know Your Vet (GTKYV), I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Laurie McCauley, a board‑certified specialist in sports medicine and canine rehabilitation, for a wide‑ranging conversation.

We talk openly about curiosity, humility, career crossroads, mistakes, perseverance, and the moments that shape who we become. Dr. McCauley shares how following her intuition led her to help pioneer canine rehabilitation, including the early development of underwater treadmill therapy, and how staying open‑minded continues to guide her work today.

We also explore integrative and holistic approaches to healing, including rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, tuning forks, and energy‑based modalities—alongside honest reflections on family, childhood experiences, integrity, and what it really means to live and work with heart.

This year, I had the privilege to meet some of you in Florida and Mallorca where I was presenting, and I also became friends with some of my colleagues vets and healers, I never met in person before.

Connecting with likeminded people is the reason I’m starting something new.

A new interview series I’m calling Get to Know Your Vet (GTKYV) 🐾

Each episode is a fun, relaxed, informal conversation between me and a fellow veterinarian.

But here is something different. Of course we talk dogs, but we also talk about our lives, feelings and what we do outside of work. We talk about life, our values, mistakes and lessons learned.

When you watch, I want you to feel like the three of us are sitting together, sharing stories and ideas, not being “taught” or sold anything.

Why does this matter?

Because I feel you deserve to know your vets! I thought it would be nice for your to know why we do what we do. What the question, and why we changed our mind about medicine, nutrition and healing in general.

My hope is that these conversations help you feel even more connected and supported on your dog’s health journey.

Not just because you’re getting information, but because you’re getting to know the humans beyond the vet talk.

That’s what Get to Know Your Vet is really about.

It feels especially meaningful to begin this series with someone I respect deeply and is also a great conference organizer and the community connector, Dr. Judy Morgan.

This episode goes far beyond veterinary medicine. It’s about values, marriage, grief, boundaries, leadership, and what happens when we slow down enough to truly listen.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did ❤️

In this episode, I open up about one of the most frustrating and risky challenges we face as pet parents—flea and tick control. This is a deeply personal topic for me, and I’ll explain why I no longer trust conventional flea treatments—and what I use instead.

From a terrifying moment in my early veterinary days to a game-changing discovery in Maui, I’m sharing my journey from chemicals to natural, safe alternatives that protect not only our pets but also our families and the environment.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why many popular flea and tick products are more dangerous than you think
  • What is linked to neurological damage in 1 out of 5 pets
  • How nature provides better, safer solutions for flea and tick prevention
  • The environmental toll of conventional flea products—yes, even poisoning our water!
  • My personal method for chemical-free flea control that works at home and outdoors

Essential Tips:

  • Always clean your home thoroughly—treating your dog alone isn't enough
  • Use herbal sprays that are safe for both your dog and your home
  • Fleas love sugar, so ditch the high-carb processed foods
  • Prevention doesn’t mean constant treatment—use natural options only when needed

Give your dog a hug from me, and thanks for listening!

Today we’re diving nose-first into one of the most common (and misunderstood) issues: Why Do Dogs Get Stinky?!

Whether your dog's been rolling in mystery goo, battling stubborn yeasty ears, or struggling with something deeper under the surface — there's usually more to that "doggy odor" than meets the ... nose 😜

In this episode I will also share some surprising, but often common, root causes of stinky dogs and why a medicated bath might not being doing what you think — and what to do instead.

So, if you’re tired of the itch, the stink, and the constant vet visits, this episode is for you and your dog! Let’s bust some myths, explore some solutions, and get your dog back to smelling like a wildflower.

Essential Takeaways:

  • Diet matters! Processes, high-carb foods can lead to skin issues and that infamous doggy odor.
  • Yeast (Malassezia) overgrowth is often secondary, not the root cause-address the underlying health and environmental factors.
  • Don’t overlook spinal health! Injuries or tight muscles can actually contribute to skin problems and persistent odors.
  • If your dog has persistent skin issues, ask your vet for a full blood workup to rule out thyroid or adrenal problems.
  • Don’t jump straight to antifungals or antibiotics-restore balance to the skin’s microbiome first.

Hello, my fellow dog lovers! In this episode, I dive into what it really takes to keep our dogs mobile, happy, and healthy for MANY years to come.

Inspired by my own dogs, I share decades of veterinary experience and answer your most pressing questions:

➡️ Are leash walks enough?
➡️ How much exercise does your dog really need?
➡️ How can you prevent injuries, especially in seniors, puppies, and high-energy breeds?

I’ll break down the hidden dangers of certain exercise, how to tailor fitness for every age and size, and why variety—not just repetition—is key. Plus, I reveal the crucial role of nutrition, the truth about spaying/neutering and ligament injuries, and my favorite products and supplements for joint support too.

Whether you’re worried about over-exercising, want to help your overweight dog, or need tips for safe puppy play, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use right away. Let’s keep our dogs moving, strong, and pain-free together!

Key Highlights

  • Variety in exercise is critical for injury prevention and overall health—leash walks alone aren’t enough.
  • Proper nutrition, including homemade or raw diets and targeted supplements, is essential for joint and muscle health.
  • Injury prevention in dogs requires a mindful approach to exercise, regular check-ins with professionals, and understanding breed-specific needs.

3 Essential Tips

  • For senior dogs, maintain regular movement and avoid under-exercising to prevent muscle loss and joint issues.
  • Puppies need play and short walks but should avoid long hikes and high-impact activities until they’re fully grown.
  • Watch for early signs of discomfort or pain—behavior changes, licking joints, or reluctance to move—and consult a professional.

Hey, dog lovers! In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal journey—one that I hope will help you make informed medical decisions for yourself and your dog.

After discovering a lump in my salivary gland, I navigated the complex process of seeking medical advice, getting second opinions, and ultimately undergoing surgery. Along the way, I learned valuable lessons about advocating for the best possible care, asking the right questions, and staying proactive in the face of uncertainty.

As a veterinarian, I’ve always believed that decision-making in medicine—whether for our dogs, our children, or ourselves—follows similar principles. I’ll take you through my thought process, the differences I noticed between medical systems, and the emotions that come with facing a health challenge.

My hope is that this episode gives you insight and confidence when making important medical choices for yourself and your pets.

Dr. Michelle Kutzler's journey into understanding the impact of sterilization on dogs began with a personal experience that shook her professional beliefs.

After witnessing the devastating effects of cancer on her in-laws' Rottweilers, it sparked her curiosity about the potential link between sterilization and health issues. A pivotal lecture by Dr. David Waters opened her eyes to the crucial role of ovaries in canine longevity, challenging everything she had been taught in veterinary school.

Dr. Kutzler's research revealed that removing gonads leads to elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, which can cause a myriad of health problems, including urinary incontinence, skin issues, and even cancer.

The good news is that there are hormone-sparing alternatives to traditional spaying and neutering, which can prevent reproduction while maintaining hormonal balance.

In this initial segment of our two-part discussion, we discuss these alternatives and the importance of educating both veterinarians and pet owners about the long-term health impacts of traditional sterilization methods.

I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of hormones on our canine companions' health and behavior, and the recent update to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) guidelines on neutering is a game-changer.

Hormones aren't just about reproduction; they're crucial for overall well-being.

When we remove them through traditional spaying and neutering, we're inadvertently causing a cascade of health issues such as an increased risk of cancers and joint issues.

My own dog, Pax, experienced many of these issues after neutering. It wasn't until we started hormone replacement therapy that I saw a dramatic improvement in his health and vitality.

The good news is we have alternatives and solutions, which we discuss in this episode.

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!

Do you know a fearful or reactive dog? What if dog restrictions and leash laws are at the core of dog behaviour issues? I’ve spoken on this topic many times, and I won’t stop until countries like the USA and Canada recognize how important dogs are to our wellbeing and that marginalizing and restricting access does not work.

I have lived in three different countries, Canada, the USA and the Czech Republic. I have seen the difference freedom, trust, and socialization make in the quality of life for people, dogs, and society.

If you are interested in igniting a dog freedom movement in your area, email me at customercare@peterdobias.com, and together we will spread the word.

Thank you for listening!

A beautiful and heartfelt interview with New York Times best-selling author, Rodney Habib.

There is a reason why Rodney has been able to build a thriving online community that is over 3 million strong. He is one of the most inspiring, humble, and kindest people I know, and he's also just a delightful person to talk to. I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it.

You will learn why Rodney excels at helping and teaching dog lovers, his connection with his soul-dog Sammy, and what his favourite superfoods are.

If there is one interview you should listen to, this is it. I had the privilege of speaking with Lana Niland, a Canadian who has been living in Ukraine since 2003. We discuss the brave work she is doing to help the people and animals of Ukraine, and how we can all contribute to her efforts.

This interview has not been edited or sugarcoated - so there is some upsetting content for animal lovers - but it will give you a balanced view of what is happening in Ukraine. If we want to change the world, we need to understand what is wrong and the media doesn't always report things accurately.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and possibly donating if you are able to through the links below. ❤️🐶✌️🇺🇦

Do you love your dog more than your house, car or bicycle? Of course you do!

We all know the work that goes into maintaining these things, and your dog’s body is no different.

Listen here to learn what minerals your dog needs, signs your dog may be mineral-deficient, and how your dog’s hair can tell you what’s missing in your dog’s diet.

If you have a dog, you’ll know that playing, fetching, swimming and walks are the highlights of their day. But did you know that some forms of exercise can cause injuries, shorten your dog’s lifespan, and even cause organ damage or cancer?

In this episode, Dr. Dobias outlines safe exercise for your dog, how much exercise is OK, and what activities to avoid. He also describes how to examine your dog’s spine for injury, pain and discomfort, and discusses the top 6 commonly missed causes of disease in canines.

Has your doctor ever suggested that you eat a diet made up only of processed foods? Of course not!

For some reason, humans are capable of feeding their families a wholesome diet, but when it comes to feeding our dogs, things can get very complicated.

In this episode, Dr. Dobias discusses nutrition for puppies and adult dogs, and why simply following nature can help you avoid health issues in your dog, including painful bone growth and joint problems.

Listen as Dr. Dobias dives deep into how to achieve the correct ratio of Calcium and Phosphorus in our dogs’ food; how to balance a raw diet for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages (even puppies!); why supplements are necessary and why good food is no longer enough; if there is healthy kibble for dogs; and how to prepare nutritious, natural food for your dog at home.

If you’re overwhelmed by dog nutrition and the myriad of dog food choices out there, you won’t want to miss this episode.

It may surprise you, but 25 years ago, Dr. Peter Dobias was once a top-selling processed food veterinarian in his province of British Columbia. So, why did this once award-winning “kibble seller” ditch the processed food in favour of a natural, species-appropriate diet for our canine friends? And what were the major health problems and warning signs Dr. Dobias noticed in puppies and dogs that made him question the kibble status quo?

In this episode, discover 15 common myths about puppy nutrition that have lifelong health consequences for dogs. Learn how these myths came to be and why they still persist today. You will also learn about all the free tools and information available on Dr. Dobias’ website that will help give puppies the best and healthiest start to life.

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.

Do you think you and your dog are alike? What do you most enjoy about your dog? Does your dog ever make you feel embarrassed, frustrated, or angry because they’ve been acting naughty? I cover these questions and more in this episode.

I also discuss why some dogs become aggressive, and why punishment and negative training can backfire. I provide an overview of a gentle and respectful approach that can help even the most misbehaved and/or misunderstood dogs.

I round out the episode with some insight into what we can learn from our dogs, and why it’s so important to take a close look at their health and behaviours, because they are often a reflection of our own lives.

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.

Can you believe that everything in this universe, from your dog to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, are made out of the same building blocks? But what happens when those building blocks are missing, or are in short supply?

In an ideal world (and the African Savanna), all of our building blocks would be perfectly supplied through the food we eat. However, our modern world has created one of the most disturbing imbalances: nutrient deficiencies in our soil.

This is a big “uh-oh” for people, dogs, and other animals, as disease often begins with depleted nutrients - such as minerals.

Listen to this podcast to find out how to solve this serious problem.
