    Can Dogs Live Longer Naturally? Fresh Food, Clean Environments & Lifespan Drugs with Dr. Kevin Toman

    This episode explores what it really means to help our dogs live longer, healthier lives—starting with the basics of what they eat and the world they live in. Dr. Kevin Toman shares his perspective as a veterinarian on the power of fresh food, reducing toxins, and making everyday choices that can add quality years for our dogs. We also get into the emerging world of lifespan‑extending pharmaceuticals for pets, and Kevin explains why some vets are beginning to use them and what he’s seeing in practice. In response, I share my concerns and questions about relying on drugs to extend life, and why I believe our focus should remain on real food, clean environments, and true health rather than quick fixes. If you’ve ever wondered how far to go with “anti‑aging” approaches for your dog—or whether we really need pharmaceuticals to help them thrive—this conversation will give you a lot to think about. 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶  Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠  💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠ 🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/ 📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠

    What Rats Teach Us About Dogs: Holistic Rodent Control & Shared Environments

    This conversation dives into an unexpected but eye‑opening question: what can a rat specialist teach us about our dogs? My guest works in rodent control using only holistic methods and essential oils, and through years of observing rats up close, he’s noticed striking parallels between how rats and dogs respond to stress, toxins, and their environments. We talk about why “pests” are often sensitive, intelligent animals, how the same chemicals and conditions that harm rodents also affect our dogs, and what it means to create a safer, less toxic home for every species who shares our space. You’ll also hear how essential oils and other natural tools can be used thoughtfully, what ethical, compassionate rodent control looks like, and why paying attention to the smallest animals can deepen the way we care for our pets. If you’re curious, open‑minded, and interested in environment‑based health, this one will give you a whole new perspective. 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶  Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠  💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠ 🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/ 📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠

    Improve Your Pet’s Health by Healing Yourself: Pet & Human Wellness Coaching with Jody Teiche

    This conversation dives into the powerful connection between your wellbeing and your animal’s. Jody Teiche shares how her work as a pet health coach naturally expanded into supporting humans too, and why real transformation happens when we look at both ends of the leash. You’ll hear how stress, lifestyle, mindset, and emotional health in guardians can show up as issues in their pets, plus simple ways to shift your own habits to create a calmer, healthier home. We also explore what holistic pet health coaching looks like in practice, how it overlaps with human health coaching, and how small, compassionate changes for yourself can lead to big benefits for your dog or cat. If you’ve ever needed a loving reminder that caring for you is one of the most important ways to care for your animals, this episode will feel like a reset. 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶  Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠  💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠ 🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/ 📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠

In this episode, Jan shares insights from more than 35 years of helping dogs and cats using homeopathy, nutrition, and a whole‑animal perspective.

    Omega‑3 Testing Explained: What a High Omega‑6 to Omega‑3 Ratio Reveals About Inflammation

    Omega‑3 Testing Explained: What a High Omega‑6 to Omega‑3 Ratio Reveals About Inflammation In this episode, Jess sits down with Tavis Piatoly from OmegaQuant to unpack what your omega‑3 test results are actually telling you—and why a high omega‑6 to omega‑3 ratio can quietly fuel chronic inflammation in both humans and animals. Together, they break down how tests like the omega‑3 index work, what those percentages and ratios really mean, and how far off the average modern diet is from where we want to be. Building on Jess’s earlier “Omegas for Dummies” episode with Judah Veitel from Nordic Naturals, this conversation moves from theory into application: real client patterns, example ranges, and what tends to shift when people and pets finally get into a healthier omega‑3 zone. You’ll hear about the links between fatty acid balance and issues like joint pain, skin problems, behavior changes, cardiovascular risk, and that vague “always inflamed” feeling so many of us accept as normal. If you’ve ever looked at an omega‑3 lab report and thought, “Okay… now what?”, or you’re wondering whether your current fish oil, pet food, or diet is enough to move the needle, this episode will give you a clear, practical framework for testing, interpreting, and taking action.

    Holistic or Just Hype? How Pet Parents Can Do Better with Angela Ardolino

    Holistic or Just Hype? How Pet Parents Can Do Better with Angela Ardolino is a straight‑talk episode about navigating the wild west of “natural” and “holistic” pet products. Angela and I dig into why you can’t just trust buzzwords on the front of the bag or bottle, and why becoming a more conscious pet parent starts with slowing down and asking better questions. We walk through how to actually read labels, what red flags to look for in ingredients and marketing claims, and where even well‑meaning brands can fall short of truly holistic. You’ll come away with practical strategies for doing your own research, choosing products that align with your values, and feeling more confident saying “no” to hype—so your time, money, and energy go toward what really supports your animal. 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶  Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠  💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠ 🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/ 📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠

    Is Natural Pet Care Really “Alternative”? The Original Medicine Story

    Is Natural Pet Care Really “Alternative”? The Original Medicine Story is a powerful idea: what we’ve been told is “alternative” was actually the original way humans and animals were cared for. Inspired by Sayer Ji’s essay “They Called It ‘Alternative.’ It Was Always the Original,” I walk through how natural medicine—plants, foods, light, movement, relationship—sat at the center of care for generations, long before modern pharma and regulatory systems rearranged the map. We talk about what shifted when only patentable, mass‑manufactured substances were allowed to count as “real” medicine, and how that same mindset shows up today in conventional pet care. I share what this lens has changed in how I think about canine nutrition, vet visits, and “alternative” modalities, and why I see holistic, nature‑aligned pet care as a return to something older and wiser—not a trend. If you’ve ever felt like you were swimming against the current by feeding fresh food, using herbs, or questioning protocols, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not fringe—you’re remembering the original.

    Choosing the Right Dog for Your Life: Lessons from a Regenerative Farmer with Seth Thompson of New Plymouth Farm

    Choosing the Right Dog for Your Life: Lessons from Regenerative Farmer Seth Thompson takes us out to New Plymouth Farm, where the land, the goats, and a working dog named Dutch all have something to teach us about how we pick our canine companions. Seth shares how regenerative farming reshaped the way he thinks about animals, responsibility, and what it really means for a dog to have a job and a purpose. We talk about how he chose Dutch, what life looks like for a dog who herds goats, and what pet parents can learn from working‑dog relationships even if they live in a city apartment. You’ll hear real stories from the farm and practical takeaways for choosing a dog that actually fits your lifestyle, energy, and values—so both you and your dog can thrive, not just cope. 🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations⁠ 🐶  Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: ⁠https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella⁠  💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/⁠ 🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/ 📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: ⁠https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify⁠
