Dr. Michelle Kutzler's journey into understanding the impact of sterilization on dogs began with a personal experience that shook her professional beliefs. After witnessing the devastating effects of cancer on her in-laws' Rottweilers, it sparked her curiosity about the potential link between sterilization and health issues. A pivotal lecture by Dr. David Waters opened her eyes to the crucial role of ovaries in canine longevity, challenging everything she had been taught in veterinary school.Dr. Kutzler's research revealed that removing gonads leads to elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, which can cause a myriad of health problems including urinary incontinence, skin issues, and even cancer.The good news is that there are hormone-sparing alternatives to traditional spaying and neutering, which can prevent reproduction while maintaining hormonal balance.In this initial segment of our two-part discussion, we discuss these alternatives and the importance of educating both veterinarians and pet owners about the long-term health impacts of traditional sterilization methods.____________________________________________ An article that you won't want to miss:https://peterdobias.com/blogs/blog/is-spay-and-neuter-really-the-best-choice-for-your-dog____________________________________________ Visit our website: https://peterdobias.com/Visit us on social media:FacebookInstagramTwitter#DogHealth #HormoneHealth #SpayNeuter #DogLongevity

I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of hormones on our canine companions' health and behavior, and the recent update to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) guidelines on neutering is a game-changer.Hormones aren't just about reproduction; they're crucial for overall well-being.When we remove them through traditional spaying and neutering, we're inadvertently causing a cascade of health issues such as an increased risk of cancers and joint issues. My own dog, Pax, experienced many of these issues after neutering. It wasn't until we started hormone replacement therapy that I saw a dramatic improvement in his health and vitality.The good news is we have alternatives and solutions, which we discuss in this episode.____________________________________________ An article that you won't want to miss:https://peterdobias.com/blogs/blog/is-spay-and-neuter-really-the-best-choice-for-your-dog____________________________________________ Visit our website: https://peterdobias.com/Visit us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drpeterdobiasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpeterdobias/Twitter: https://twitter.com/drpeterdobias#WSAVAGuidelines #DogHealth #HormoneHealth #SpayNeuter #DogLongevity 

In this episode, I explain how toxic positivity leads to the perception that emotions are divided into two groups, the negative and the positive.

Do you know a fearful or reactive dog? What if dog restrictions and leash laws are at the core of dog behaviour issues? I've spoken on this topic many times, and I won't stop until countries like the USA and Canada recognize how important dogs are to our wellbeing and that marginalizing and restricting access does not work. I have lived in three different countries, Canada, the USA and the Czech Republic. I have seen the difference freedom, trust, and socialization make in the quality of life for people, dogs, and society. If you are interested in igniting a dog freedom movement in your area, email me at customercare@peterdobias.com, and together we will spread the word.Thank you for listening! ____________________________________________ Resources that you shouldn't miss:Why puppy freedom leads to healthy development: https://peterdobias.com/blogs/blog/why-puppy-freedom-leads-to-healthy-development ______________________________________________Fab4 Essential Supplements for Dogs: https://peterdobias.com/collections/adult-dog-essentials Healthy Recipe Maker for Dogs: https://recipemaker.peterdobias.com/ ____________________________________________ Visit Pax and me on our website: www.peterdobias.com Be Social! Facebook Instagram Pinterest YouTube Awesome to see you here!

If there is one interview you should listen to, this is it. I had the privilege of speaking with Lana Niland, a Canadian who has been living in Ukraine since 2003. We discuss the brave work she is doing to help the people and animals of Ukraine, and how we can all contribute to her efforts. This interview has not been edited or sugarcoated - so there is some upsetting content for animal lovers - but it will give you a balanced view of what is happening in Ukraine. If we want to change the world, we need to understand what is wrong and the media doesn't always report things accurately. Thank you for listening, sharing, and possibly donating if you are able to through the links below. ❤️
