Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino - Formerly It's A Dog's Life
On this episode of Your Natural Dog, Angela sits down with Dr. Margo Roman, a veterinarian with over 47 years in practice, to talk about what the veterinary oath really means, and what happens when vets try to speak openly about holistic or integrative pet care. Dr. Roman shares how her Massachusetts veterinary license was suspended for two years after she emailed clients about ozone and homeopathic options, which she's now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court after losing at the state level. Angela and Dr. Roman also discuss why they believe “do no harm” requires a fuller toolbox: acupuncture, microbiome work, ozone, nutrition, herbs, and the importance of ongoing education after vet school. The conversation looks at how policies, liability fears, and funding ties can discourage open discussion of holistic pet care. They also cover the “spectrum of care” model for real-world budgets, the debate over rabies titers and vaccine exemptions, why gut health is foundational, and practical ways pet parents can stay informed and advocate for more options.Episode Recap:Angela tees up free speech, the veterinarian's oath, and why Dr. Roman's case matters to pet parents. (00:08)The Veterinarian's Oath, and how it extends beyond what's taught in school. (03:15)Dr. Roman describe the lack of options being offered to pet parents by conventional veterinarians, and they discuss the declining numbers of holistic veterinarians. (04:49)Why continuing your veterinary education, from acupuncture to microbiome science, is essential to the “do no harm” oath, and how ignoring proven alternative modalities amounts to denying care.(07:55)Angela shares her experience getting an FDA letter and the pressure to stay silent about holistic education and testimonials. (10:12)Dr. Roman shares the story of her horse with cancer, Champ, who she was told to euthanize, but instead lived for over 8 more years under her care using homeopathy, acupuncture, nutrition, and later ozone therapy. When she tried to show the university her results, they refused to look. (11:50)The pandemic, recommending ozone therapy, and the veterinary board's response. (13:31)Introduction to “Spectrum of Care” for clients who can't afford gold-standard workups. (15:46)How corporate and government control often limits access to natural options, the vital role of the gut microbiome and the endocannabinoid system, and how mushrooms and hemp have long supported balance in both humans and animals. (17:40)Dr. Roman describes the financial and emotional toll of defending her right to practice integrative medicine, including spending over a million dollars and facing ongoing board harassment. She explains how officials dismiss modalities like acupuncture and ozone therapy without ever studying them, and calls for accountability and open-mindedness among regulators who condemn what they don't understand. (20:10)Dr. Roman argues that forcing veterinarians to vaccinate animals who are already immune or medically fragile goes against the veterinary oath, and shares her own experience with Rabies vaccination and antibody testing (22:43)Being your pet's advocate, what Dr. Roman is working on now, plus ways to support her mission (30:09)Episode Resources:Download Angela's resources & guides at AngelaArdolino.com/podcast-downloadsThe Veterinarian's OathDr. Roman's Urgent Call for Veterinarians to Uphold their Oath and her Medical Freedom For Animals Legal FundDr. Margo Roman v.

Animals have been domesticated for 10,000 years and the current outbreak of avian flu is the largest and most complex animal disease outbreak in history, with serious risks beyond poultry. Avian influenza risk especially rises when waterfowl migrate in the fall, Maurice Pitesky, University of California Cooperative Extension poultry specialist has developed the Waterfowl Alert Network to help farmers manage their cattle and poultry's exposure to migratory birds when they are nearby. If farmers are aware and utilize the network it will reduce risk and prevent birds and cows from getting sick. Maurice holds a veterinary degree and a postgraduate degree in epidemiology. As a faculty member at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, he specializes in poultry health and food safety epidemiology - enhancing food safety and production efficiency. Waterfowl Alert Network (WFAN) helps agricultural producers reduce the spread of avian influenza by showing where migrating waterfowl are in relation to their farms. Using advanced radar modeling and field-tested epidemiological science, it provides daily risk forecasts that help poultry, cattle, and swine farms improve their biosecurity before the next outbreak strikes—giving producers a weather report for bird flu.
Topical therapy isn't just supportive anymore—it's often the first choice for managing skin infections, and successful patient outcomes rely on selecting the right product.

This year's crop hasn't even been harvested but Wisconsin farmers are already looking ahead to 2026. One big bill they're trying to find a way to pay is for fertilizer their crop will need. Shane Goplin is a farmer with HV Acres and a Wisconsin Corn Grower member. He's watching developments in Washington that could help farms better understand what's happening with fertilizer supplies, and in turn plan for that bill. Goplin says a bill was introduced in congress that aims to create more transparency and lower costs for fertilizers. He explains the strategy to Ben Jarboe. Goplin says farms are accustomed to fertilizer prices going up when commodity prices go up - but that's definitely not the case today.Warm and dry!

Talking National Farm Safety and Health Week with Cory Merriman, GROWMARK Manager, Safety & Environmental Services.Previewing University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine open house with Savannah Limberg.Illinois FFA State Reporter Ethan Bremmer discusses chapter visits getting underway.
Performance evaluations are one of the most misunderstood and often dreaded processes in veterinary medicine. Many clinics either skip them entirely or treat them as a once-a-year formality tied closely to raises. This creates stress for team members and fails to deliver meaningful guidance for improvement. In this episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, discuss why traditional performance reviews often fall short and explore practices that can help change this dynamic. Drawing on decades of experience, they examine the impact of inconsistent feedback, the problems caused by waiting a full year to address performance issues, and the anxiety that arises when evaluations are directly linked to compensation. Through real-world examples, Ernie and Beckie illustrate how these common mistakes erode morale and hinder growth within the veterinary team. The conversation then turns to solutions, focusing on how to create a culture where feedback is continuous, specific, and actionable. They discuss how regular conversations foster trust, enhance communication, and enhance leadership at every level of the practice. By shifting the mindset around performance evaluations, veterinary teams can transform a process that is often dreaded into a tool that inspires confidence, accountability, and long-term success. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetTechLife #ClinicCulture #ClientCommunication #PracticeManagement #HealthyWorkplace #VetWellbeing #RespectVetTeams

"If you love cats, you should be concerned about trying to help bring those numbers down so animals don't suffer because this is why we do this. We don't want animals suffering, having unwanted litters of cats and having to have them suffer." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and 6 Degrees of Cats. In this powerful episode, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Cathy Bissell, founder of Bissell Pet Foundation, who has revolutionized animal welfare through innovative programs reaching over 6,000 shelters across 49 states. From her unexpected entry into animal welfare during Hurricane Katrina to creating the nation's largest funded adoption event, Cathy's journey demonstrates how strategic thinking and passionate commitment can create systemic change. Her foundation has impacted nearly one million pets since 2011, but it's her latest initiative that's truly disrupting the industry. Cathy shares the incredible success of her groundbreaking "Fix the Future" program, launched in 2023 to address the veterinary care access crisis. In just under 18 months, this free spay/neuter initiative has sterilized 138,000 animals across 27 states, with an astounding 86,963 of those being cats. Through a network of 385 high-volume, high-quality relief veterinarians, the program is tackling overpopulation at its source while keeping costs remarkably low at just $35 per surgery. Cathy discusses the challenges of scaling this model, the importance of treating every animal that comes through their doors, and why she believes this "disruptor program" is essential for breaking down cost barriers that prevent people from accessing veterinary care. Whether you're working in a small grassroots rescue or leading a major shelter, this episode provides invaluable insights into creating sustainable, scalable solutions that address root causes rather than just symptoms. Cathy's emphasis on collaboration, her honest discussion about learning from mistakes (including a powerful story about declawing), and her practical advice for getting started at any age will inspire listeners to think bigger about their impact and consider how they can contribute to solving the access to care crisis in their own communities.
