Pet Doc Donna!A comprehensive holistic and herbal guide to healing your pet naturally!How to cure immune-mediated diseases holisticallyIn this episode, PetDoc Donna describes how to help and sometimes cure pets suffering from immune-mediated conditions. By identifying triggers, using acupuncture to shift the immune system's focus, correcting the biome, changing the diet, using herbs to tonify and balance, these cases can be cured within 6 months. We do not suppress symptoms or inflammation except in the case of thromocyctopenia and anemia when steroids may be critical to save the life of the cat or dog initially. Did you know immune-mediated problems are skyrocketing in humans and in pets? Inflammation is our greatest problem because it can literally destroy...2022-07-0325 min
Pet Doc Donna!A comprehensive holistic and herbal guide to healing your pet naturally!Natural flea prevention and why it's vital to your pet's health and longevity and should be an integral part of every veterinary preventative program,Fleas are always teaching us how to be better caretakers by showing us our pets' weaknesses. As they are attracted to the weakest pet with the lowest vital force. Fleas generally like the tail base of your pet because it has the lowest vital energy. As soon as the pet ingests our vitamin/mineral mix (listen to that podcast to find out how to make it) as well as a raw diet with fresh organic greens ground into their food, the vital force increases and the fleas are naturally repelled. There are various topical preventatives but they generally are...2022-06-0719 min

With no halter, bridle or ropes, the horse makes his or her opinions known (this can be difficult to process) and by learning about moving energy and b...2022-03-1614 min

Pet Doc Donna!A comprehensive holistic and herbal guide to healing your pet naturally!Dilitated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in Dogs: Effects of nutrition, genetics and EMF on the Calcium Channels of all mammals.In 2019, the New York Times published a short article which became a megaphone for the big pet food companies which have largely controlled the narrative about DCM in dogs and made large profits in the wake of this continuing controversy. Veterinarians have pushed their narrative but here we both recognize the merits of understanding nutritional DCM on the dog community, but at the same time, try to discuss the topic without profits to gain or agendas to push. Veterinarians have lumped all homemade dog and raw dog feeders as "non-tradiitional," meaning not feeding one of the four foods they...2022-02-1115 min

Dr. Donna coined the DAPER approach, a unique and sometimes counter-intuitive list of suggestions.Anxiety is a huge problem these days in our cats, dogs and horses (and humans). Dr. Donna has coined her approached DAPER. This stands for distance, amino acids, positive interactions, exercise, reducing treats. She combines styles of training and observation to recommend this approach despite considering it controversial and counter-intuitive. When our pet whines or cries we run up to hold him or her or we feed treats thinking we are distracting the pet, when really we may be creating more stress and anxiety through our actions. In the first step, we may allow the pet to be several...2022-02-0311 min
Pet Doc Donna!A comprehensive holistic and herbal guide to healing your pet naturally!Holistic Approach to the chronic problems of French BulldogsFrench bulldogs are prone to IVDD (disc herneations), allergies and skin infections, ear infections and cysts and heart-base tumors as well as other problems. In this video, we talk about 10 year old Maximus, a Frenchie with all these problems and more (chronic cough and anxiety) as he sleepily looks at the camera. He becomes very sleepy with his acupuncture needles already in place because of the endorphins and enkephalins the needles release. Frenchies do well with the holistic management of their chronic diseases. Please share with your Frenchie friends!
