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 ❤️

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.

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.

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!

Awesome to see you here! I gather it’s because you care a little more. 

In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, I sit down with my colleague and friend, Dr. Lynda Loudon, DVM, FFCP, CAETA-C—an integrative emergency veterinarian, end-of-life specialist, and founder of The Dog Mom Society and Peaceful Transitions, her in-home euthanasia practice offering holistic, Fear-Free, Reiki-informed care.

With over 24 years of experience, Dr. Lynda brings a wealth of wisdom on chronic illness prevention, nutrition, and canine longevity. Together, we explore the emotional landscape of veterinary medicine—where compassion, intuition, and real-life stories intersect in powerful ways.

You’ll hear candid reflections from the emergency room, moving stories of love and loss, and powerful insights on how animals often show us, in their quiet wisdom, when it’s time to say goodbye. This episode isn’t just about veterinary medicine—it’s about the profound bond we share with our animals and how we can honor them at every stage of life.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The emotional landscape of veterinary medicine and end-of-life care
• Intuitive communication with animals and what they teach us
• Holistic practices for both emergency and preventive care
• Real-life stories from the vet’s table: love, loss, and lessons
• Actionable insights for pet owners on nutrition and wellness

Featured Products & Resources

Canine Longevity Bundle: Essential vitamins, minerals, omega-3, probiotics and detox for dogs; natural and human-grade ingredients

Awesome to see you here! I gather it’s because you care a little more. 

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.

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.

Are you worried about your dog's health or thinking of making the switch from kibble to raw or cooked natural food? 

In this episode, Dr. Dobias discusses how to switch your adult dog or puppy safely to a natural diet, and how to make their diet complete. 

You’ll also learn why bones are an essential part of every dog's diet, what kinds of bones to feed your dog, why sourcing your bones from the right place is important, what to do about splinters and bacteria, and why dog food of any kind no longer contains all the necessary nutrients and minerals dogs need to thrive.

Curious about a more compassionate, integrative path in veterinary care? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ruth Roberts, a trusted advocate for holistic pet health—from acupuncture and whole-food nutrition to hormone therapy and functional medicine. 

Together, we explore how simple, individualized approaches—not just treating symptoms—can profoundly transform senior and sterilized dogs’ well-being. We dive into real-life stories of Hiyo and Pax, discuss alternative sterilization options like ovary-sparring spays, and critique the one-size-fits-all tendencies of conventional medicine. 

Along the way, we reflect on the corporatization of veterinary practice and advocate for restoring its “art” with observation, humility, and healing. If you believe pets deserve personalized care that honors both their body and spirit, this episode is for you.

Key Highlights

• Hormone Therapy – Restoring vitality in senior dogs.
• Spay/Neuter Alternatives – Preserving natural hormone balance.
• Compassionate Vet Care – Bringing back individualized healing.

I always love chatting with my good friend and colleague, Dr. Edward Bassingthwaite. We have so much in common not only in our perspectives about holistic veterinary care, but in life too. 

In this podcast, we talk about the three keys to your dog's health, how to detect if your dog is in pain, and much, much more.

Be sure to listen to the end, where we share the ONE message we wish the world to know.

Awesome to see you here! I gather it’s because you care a little more.

In this episode, I sit down with amazing and talented Susan Garrett! World-Renowned Dog Trainer, Agility Champion & Leading Educator in Canine Behaviour, I am so grateful to have her join me as we dive into the science and evolution behind how we teach and live with dogs. 

From early days growing up around animals to force-free training, we explore what it truly means to empower dogs through enrichment, understanding, and compassion.

Philosophies have shifted from dominance-based methods to reinforcement-driven, science-backed approaches—and we discuss why that change is so important for our dogs’ emotional and behavioral health.

In this podcast, Susan shares game-changing insights on how to tailor enrichment activities to your dog’s natural instincts, the dangers of overstimulation, and the role hormones play in behavior and health. 

You'll also hear practical ideas like the "Vito game", snuffle mats, and even "puppy bombs"—plus hear why what you do when your dog isn’t doing anything might be the most important training of all.

Whether you're a seasoned trainer or a dog-loving pet parent, this episode is packed with ideas, inspiration, and tools to help your dog thrive.

Tune in and walk away with tools to build a stronger, more respectful relationship with your dog—grounded in science, shaped by empathy, and full of joy.

💡 5 Highlights You’ll Love:

• How enrichment meets emotional, physical, and social needs. 
• What to avoid in terms of enrichment.
• Why hormone health matters—and when HRT may help.
• How to manage destructive behaviors and anxiety.

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

Some people believe that the brain and head are the centre of the body, but that’s not exactly true. 

In this episode, Dr. Dobias discusses the mysterious link between our dogs’ necks and their internal organ health, and how the autonomous nervous system, or ANS, regulates the most essential functions and organs in  the body.

Learn how dog collars, including common dog training tools such as prong and shock collars, can cause irreversible damage to your dog’s entire body, and what healthy alternatives you can use to protect your dog’s neck, spine, thyroid gland, trachea, and internal organs.

Here is an interview with one of the most influential people in my life, my friend Cat de Rham. 

I owe my health and wellbeing to her, and hope that she will inspire you to make the best out of your life.  

In order for our dogs to be healthy, they need us to be well and mobile, and this is why my website is not just about dogs. Also, Cat has now created hundreds of yoga classes that are available for free on YouTube (link is listed below).
