We're Stressing Our Dogs Sick

Episode 5

Monday, September 15, 2025 • Duration 59:03

The holistic approach includes every part of our pet's life, even our own emotional state. Trying to humanize our dogs and project our emotions onto them can burden their immune system as well as hinder our ability to recognize what might be truly going on. Keeping calm, being patient, and observing the situation can help us navigate towards the best way to truly heal them.
