| How Loss, Curiosity, and Dogs Led Me Here | 07 Jan 2026 | 00:36:21 | |
In this episode, I share the story behind Love Your Dogs and why I can’t practice dog care the same way anymore. After losing my two golden retrievers, Skip and Ann, to cancer, I began asking harder questions about food, vaccines, preventatives, and how much of what we call “normal care” is actually built for convenience, not long-term health. I’m not a veterinarian, but I am a holistic dog health educator who has spent years learning, questioning, and applying this work with my own dogs. This podcast exists to help dog parents think more critically, trust their observations, and make more informed choices for the dogs they love because loving your dog means being willing to look closer.

| Less Testing, More Trust: Rethinking Titer Testing | 11 Feb 2026 | 00:22:49 | |
In this episode of the Love Your Dogs podcast, Bre Drake discusses the complexities of titer testing in dogs, emphasizing the importance of understanding the immune system and the role of vaccines.

| Strong Dogs Are Not Built on Diet Alone | 19 Feb 2026 | 00:32:19 | |
After a weekend at SEWE in Charleston, part birthday celebration, part wildlife expo, Bre left with lots of ideas for discussion here. Surrounded by powerful, purpose-driven working dogs and heavy Purina Pro Plan sponsorship, she couldn’t ignore the messaging that these dogs looked and performed the way they did because of the food (the kibble). In this episode, she reflects on lifestyle shifts (including her move toward natural fibers and reducing consumption), observations from the event, and the bigger biological picture behind canine performance. From movement and metabolic resilience to AAFCO standards and ultra-processed diets, she challenges the assumption that survival equals optimal. Because sponsorship isn’t the same as causation, and what truly builds a dog may not fit on a bag. Follow Bre on Instagram: @tailswellhealth Visit Tailswell Website: Tailswell.com | |||

| What Most Vets Won’t Say About Dog Health | 04 Mar 2026 | 00:36:08 | |
Most dog owners believe their veterinarian is responsible for their dog’s health, but the truth is that conventional veterinary medicine was designed to meet a standard of care, not to create optimal health. In this episode, Bre breaks down the limitations of the current veterinary model and why dogs benefit from a team-based approach to care.

| Fleas, Vaccines, Fresh Food and the Cost of Opting Out | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:33:50 | |
In this episode, Bre questions the holistic flea and tick conversation, the pressure around vaccines, and the growing realization that truly holistic care often means stepping outside the modern dog industry. She also share insights from homeopathic veterinarian William Falconer on fresh feeding, veterinary narratives, and the difference between curing, palliating, and suppressing disease.

| The Vaccine Conversation No One Is Actually Having (with Paula Vandervoort) | 25 Mar 2026 | 01:19:08 | |
In this in-depth conversation, Bre sits down with Paula Vandervoort — a 50+ year Boxer breeder, natural rearing expert, homeopath, naturopath, and founder of The Dog Breeder Store — a space dedicated to bringing holistic tools and education to breeders and dog parents alike. Together, they explore the origins and intention behind vaccines, how they function in the body, and where the conversation often falls short when it comes to understanding true immunity. Paula shares her perspective and research on adverse reactions, the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach, and why building a dog’s internal resilience and terrain matters more than any single intervention. They also dive into the disconnect between policy and biology when it comes to rabies, the role of titers, and the broader question of what actually creates a robust, adaptable immune system in dogs. This episode invites dog parents to step out of fear, ask better questions, and begin thinking about health in a more individualized, biologically aligned way.

| My Dog Lived to 15 on Kibble… So What’s the Problem? | 19 Mar 2026 | 00:15:41 | |
What if your dog “doing fine” isn’t the full story? In this episode, Bre addresses the unfortunately all-too-common mindset: "my dog lived to almost 15 on kibble and vaccines… so just do what works.” Longevity feels like proof, but one dog doing okay doesn’t define what’s optimal. It shows what that dog was able to tolerate. She talks about genetic resilience, the difference between surviving and thriving, and why “it worked for my dog” isn’t a complete picture, especially when more and more dogs aren’t doing fine. | |||
| What Flea & Tick Preventatives Actually Do Inside Your Dog | 01 Apr 2026 | 00:38:39 | |
Flea and tick preventatives are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in veterinary medicine, but how do they actually work? In this episode, holistic dog health educator Bre Drake takes a closer look at the class of drugs behind popular products like Bravecto, NexGard, and Simparica. She explores how these medications function inside the body, how they’re tested for safety, and what dog owners should understand before using them. Bre also discusses the concept of cumulative toxic load in modern dogs and why parasite prevention doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing conversation. This episode invites dog owners to step back from fear-based decision making and take a more informed look at the tradeoffs involved in protecting dogs from parasites.

| Dr. Judy Jasek: The Problem with Modern Vet Medicine (and What Dogs Actually Need) | 29 Apr 2026 | 01:14:26 | |
In this episode, Are sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek, the vet who helped shape how she thinks about dog health after walking through cancer with her own dogs. They get into the uncomfortable reality of modern veterinary medicine… the one-size-fits-all model, the over-reliance on diagnoses, and why so many dogs are stuck in cycles of chronic illness. This is a conversation about stepping outside the system, questioning what we’ve been taught, and starting to look at dogs as individuals again by considering their environment, lifestyle, stress, and overall terrain instead of just managing symptoms. If you’ve ever felt like the conventional approach isn’t adding up… you’re not wrong.

Angela Ardolino is the founder of CBD Dog Health and MycoDog and one of the most outspoken voices in the natural pet health space. In this conversation we dive into hemp, medicinal mushrooms, the wild west of the pet supplement industry, and why she believes so many dogs today are suffering under a system that suppresses symptoms instead of supporting the body. Angela shares the experiences that shaped her views — from rescuing sick dogs to witnessing firsthand the damage modern veterinary medicine causes when it ignores nature.

| Dr. Jeff Feinman: Symptoms are NOT the problem | 06 May 2026 | 01:29:42 | |
Most of what we’ve been taught about health—human or animal—is backwards. In this conversation with wholistic and homeopathic anveterinarian, Dr. Jeff Feinman, we get into what’s really going on beneath symptoms… and why the constant urge to suppress, label, and “fix” the body might be the very thing making our dogs sicker. We talk about vitality, stress, energy, and why happiness, movement, and connection often matter more than anything you can buy. This one goes deeper than diet, deeper than supplements—this is about how the body actually works… and what happens when we finally stop fighting it.

| Jackie Jolie: Your Dog Is Light Deficient (And It’s Affecting Everything) | 13 May 2026 | 01:17:13 | |
In this episode of Love Your Dogs, Bre Drake sits down with Jackie Jolie, founder of AnimaSol, to explore one of the most overlooked yet foundational aspects of health, for both humans and dogs, light. While modern dog care focuses heavily on food, supplements, and medications, this conversation uncovers a deeper layer of how light exposure (or lack of it) is influencing everything from hormones and metabolism to behavior, recovery, and long-term disease. Jackie shares her journey into quantum biology after battling Lyme disease, and how understanding the role of sunlight, circadian rhythm, and cellular energy transformed her health and now the way she approaches animal wellness.

In this episode of the Love Your Dogs podcast, Bre sits down with Jess Arrington of Wild Wellness Pet and the Pet Parenting Reset podcast to explore bioenergetics testing, stress, vitality, flea and tick overwhelm, chronic illness, and the growing disconnect between modern dogs and nature. Together, they discuss energetics versus physiological testing, “super fleas,” cancer susceptibility, raw feeding, nervous system regulation, and why returning to the foundations, like sunlight, movement, real food, and connection, matter more than constantly chasing and stacking supplements, medications, and protocols.

| Kay Stewart: Fresh Food, Real Biology, Thriving Dogs | 27 May 2026 | 01:15:05 | |
In this episode of Love Your Dogs, Bre sits down with Kay Stewart of the Feed Real Institute to unpack the truth about canine nutrition, raw feeding, kibble culture, and the anatomy of a carnivore. Kay, lead educator at the Feed Real Institute, is also a Registered Veterinary Technician and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist with over 40 years of experience in the veterinary field, and has been endorsed by multiple veterinarians and canine nutritionists specifically to teach nutrition courses. Together, they dive into why dogs were never designed to live on ultra-processed food, how veterinary nutrition education is heavily influenced by the pet food industry, the problem with synthetic vitamins and minerals, why dental disease has become normalized in dogs, and how fresh feeding can be far more affordable and approachable than people think. This conversation is packed with practical guidance, foundational biology, and empowering perspective shifts for dog parents looking to feed and support their dogs in a more species-appropriate way.
