In this episode, we explore the missing links in modern pet health—the gaps many pet owners don’t realize exist until their dog or cat isn’t getting better.

Joining the conversation is Dr. Katie Woodley, founder of The Natural Pet Doctor, a holistic veterinarian who blends conventional medical training with evidence-based natural therapies. Dr. Woodley shares why so many pets struggle with chronic issues, how symptom-focused care can fall short, and what a more complete, whole-body approach to healing really looks like.

We dive into nutrition, inflammation, gut health, supplements, diagnostics, and the role pet parents play in advocating for smarter care. This episode isn’t about choosing natural vs. traditional—it’s about understanding how the two can work together to help pets truly thrive.

Whether your pet is dealing with ongoing health challenges or you simply want to be more proactive about their long-term wellness, this conversation offers practical insight, clarity, and a fresh way of thinking about modern veterinary care.

When dogs are abandoned, abused, or caught in crisis, someone has to step in—and for thousands of dogs, that someone is K9 Global Rescue.

In this episode, Jon Barocas shares what it really takes to rescue dogs from the most desperate situations imaginable. From large-scale emergency rescues to long, complicated rehabilitation journeys, this conversation goes beyond the highlight reels and into the emotional, logistical, and moral realities of saving lives that many have already given up on.

We talk about the hard decisions, the unforgettable victories, and why the belief that “no dogs left behind” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a responsibility. This is a raw, honest look at modern dog rescue, the toll it takes, and why the work matters now more than ever.

What if the key to understanding intelligence, emotion, and even human evolution starts with puppies?

In this episode, we explore the surprising science behind how dogs think, learn, and connect with us—beginning at the earliest stages of life. Our guest, Vanessa Woods, takes us inside the world of canine cognition, revealing what puppy development can teach us about communication, cooperation, empathy, and the deep bond between humans and dogs.

From the concept of “puppy kindergarten” to groundbreaking research on how dogs read our emotions and intentions, this conversation uncovers why dogs may be one of the most powerful windows into understanding intelligence—both theirs and ours.

Equal parts science, storytelling, and wonder, this episode will change how you see puppies, dogs, and the minds that connect us.

Cadaver dogs are often thought of as simply having an exceptional nose—but the truth is far more complex.

In this episode, Dr. Lisa Briggs breaks down what truly goes into cadaver detection, from the science behind human scent to the intensive training required for both dogs and their handlers. She explains how scent changes depending on environment, time, and conditions, and why locating human remains in water, fire scenes, or open terrain requires specialized knowledge, experience, and precision.

The conversation also addresses a critical issue in the field: why properly trained and certified teams matter. Well-intentioned but untrained efforts can lead to false alerts, wasted resources, and compromised searches—making professional standards essential in work where accuracy is everything.

This is an inside look at the discipline, science, and responsibility behind cadaver dogs—and why they are much more than a good nose.
