A Special Note on Season 2 of THE HOLISTIC FELINE & FRIENDS PODCAST 🤍
This Season is a BIG ONE, with the majority of the episodes exposing some sort of huge crack in the pet industry that has misled pet guardians for decades.
Explaining the truth in a broken system.
The intention is to educate+empower pet parents about some of the most dangerous normalized aspects in Pet Health by bringing truth to light and providing healthy, natural and holistic alternatives - so that our furry loves can live well into their 20s & 30s!
I invite you to listen to this Season with an open mind, eyes, ears, and hearts. The truth can be hard to hear at times or harsh to some but it remains the truth.
AN EYE OPENING EPISODE!!
In this eye opening episode we continue the conversation with a very special Guest - renowned, award winning Integrative Veterinarian - DR. JUDY MORGAN!
We’re exposing a HUGE pet industry crack in this episode. Quite possibly the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing (in my opinion) and largest bamboozlement in the pet industry! We’re talking PRESCRIPTION PET FOOD also known as therapeutic or veterinary diets.
These coveted commercial ‘speciality foods’ are keeping our pets sick. We’re explaining the truth behind them and educating you on what’s really in most commercial therapeutic/veterinary/prescription foods; how it can cause more damage, more expense; and ways you can truly improve your pets health with real human-grade whole foods - no matter the health concern you face!
Dr. Judy is noted for her raw honesty, exposing hard truths within the pet industry. She is direct, tell-it-like-it-is! There are no limits to what she will bring attention to.
She is known as your pets advocate and enlightens and empowers pet parents on how to be the same!
She has won numerous awards including the 2023 People’s Choice Award; and the International Association of Top Professionals 2024 Top Holistic Veterinarian of the Decade Award. Dr. Judy has been featured on ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN, FOX NEWS, and many more!
She’s a best selling author of (8) books, and Host of her own Naturally Healthy Pets Podcast.
We are absolutely honored to have her join us and lend her voice on this very important topic not often spoken about.
My hope is that this episode enlightens you, providing information you did not know; and inspires you to make the necessary changes to get your pet back on track to true and lasting health & healing.
