# 2 Seed Oils in Dog Food: Where They Hide and How to Avoid Them

Episode 2

Friday, May 9, 2025 • Duration 14:43

Think you’re feeding your dog “healthy fats”?

Think again. Seed oils—like canola, sunflower, and soybean—are everywhere in pet food.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

What seed oils really are (and why they’re used)

Why they’re linked to chronic inflammation in dogs

How to read the label and spot sneaky oil ingredients

The right kinds of fats to look for in your dog’s food If your dog has skin issues, allergies, joint pain—or you just want to feed smarter—this is one you don’t want to miss.

#10 Healing Pets, Challenging Norms: My Non-Traditional Path

Episode 10

Wednesday, June 25, 2025 • Duration 31:20

I’m Dr. Bimonte, and I haven't always done things the traditional way.

This episode is a little different.

It’s not just about pets, it’s about me—and why I became The Non-Traditional Veterinarian.

My journey into integrative veterinary care didn’t start with a dog or a cat—it started with my own health. After years of navigating conventional medicine (and hitting frustation after frustation), I had to take my healing into my own hands. And from there that journey changed how I saw everything—including how I care for my patients.

Now, I combine traditional/conventional approaches with real-world wellness to help pets live better, longer lives. I left being at one hosital, and built a career focused on truth, transparency, and total pet health—without the fluff.

This is the episode where you get to hear why I do what I do, and why I’ll always be unapologetically non-traditional.
