    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

    Path to Pet Wellness: Dr Jeff Feinman on Holistic Vet Care, BEAM & the Happiness Protocol

    Path to Pet Wellness: Dr Jeff Feinman on Holistic Vet Care, BEAM & the Happiness Protocol brings Dr Jeff’s Pet Health Junkies conversation to The Pet Parenting Reset main feed, because this is one I want every pet parent to hear. In this episode, Dr Jeff Feinman shares the core ideas behind his new book, Path to Pet Wellness, and how they invite us to rethink everything from symptoms and “disease” to the way we relate to our animals day to day. We dig into his BEAM framework (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood) for early disease detection, the Happiness Protocol, and why listening, accepting, and trusting are not just nice ideas but practical tools for helping our pets heal. You’ll hear real stories from his practice, his perspective on food, vaccines, and conventional care, and how compassion and the human–animal bond can become powerful medicine. This is a grounded, hopeful conversation for anyone who feels there has to be more to pet wellness than chasing lab values and suppressing symptoms. 🐶 🐱 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

    Should You Feed Vegetables to Dogs? Dr Conor Brady on the Real Plant Problem

    Vegetables for Dogs? Dr Conor Brady Explains the “Plant Problem” is a deep dive into one of the most hotly debated topics in dog nutrition right now: how much plant matter, if any, belongs in your dog’s bowl. In this 250th episode, I sit down with Dr Conor Brady, author of Feeding Dogs, to unpack what he calls “the plant problem”—why dogs are biologically meat‑first, how vegetables ended up taking over so many commercial diets, and where things can go wrong when the plant side of the bowl gets too big. We talk about when vegetables might actually be helpful, which ones he considers most and least useful, how preparation (raw vs cooked vs pureed) changes the picture, and what all of this means for real‑world symptoms like itchy skin, gut issues, and chronic inflammation. You’ll walk away with a more nuanced understanding of vegetables in dog food, practical guidelines for how much to feed (if at all), and concrete questions to ask yourself before you toss anything plant‑based into your dog’s bowl. 🐶 🐱 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 We Wish Dog Parents Knew About Nutrition & Health (with Emily from The Dog Who Asked for More)

    What We Wish Dog Parents Knew About Nutrition & Health (with Emily from The Dog Who Asked for More) is a behind‑the‑mic conversation between two canine nutritionists who care deeply about doing better for our dogs. Emily, host of The Dog Who Asked for More, joins me to share how we each found our way into the pet space, why we decided to get formal nutrition certifications, and how that changed the way we look at dog food forever. We talk about the biggest misconceptions we see from well‑meaning pet parents, what we wish people understood about kibble, raw, and everything in between, and how podcasting has become one of our favorite ways to get honest, nuanced education out into the world. If you’ve ever wondered where to start with better nutrition, how to sift through all the advice online, or what it’s like to build a dog‑focused podcast, this episode will feel like sitting down with two friends who are just as obsessed with dog health as you are. 🐶 🐱 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

    Indie Pet vs Big Box: What Happens to Your Favorite Brands? with Toni Unleashed

    Indie Pet vs Big Box: What Happens to Your Favorite Brands? with Toni Unleashed pulls back the curtain on how pet brands grow—and what that growth means for the independent stores that helped build them. Toni Shelaske, who’s been in indie pet for decades, joins me to talk about brands that start in small specialty shops, then expand into big box and third‑party online platforms. We dig into which companies are handling that shift with integrity, where many are dropping the ball, and how quality and support for indie retailers can change along the way. This episode is a must‑listen for both pet parents and pet industry folks who want to understand what it really means when a brand “goes everywhere,” and how to keep voting with your dollars for quality and community even as shelves—and channels—change. 🐶 🐱 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

    Positive Reinforcement Dog Training: Why It’s the Gold Standard with Teoti Anderson

    Positive Reinforcement Dog Training: Why It’s the Gold Standard with Teoti Anderson dives into what modern, humane dog training really looks like—and why it works so well in real life. In this episode, Teoti shares how positive reinforcement has evolved over the past few decades, what the science and experience in the field tell us, and why it’s considered the gold standard by leading trainers and behavior pros. We talk through her training programs, real‑world success stories, and some common mistakes well‑meaning pet parents make when trying to “go positive” without a clear plan. I also share a bit about my own dog’s anxiety, and Teoti offers insight into how positive reinforcement can support sensitive, worried dogs without flooding or force. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of what good training actually looks like, what to look for in a trainer, and practical ideas you can start using with your own dog.

    How Green Juju’s Soil Probiotic Transformed Dog Symptoms (New Study Results)

    How Green Juju’s Soil Probiotic Transformed Dog Symptoms (New Study Results) takes you behind the scenes of a brand‑new study on one of the most talked‑about gut health products in pet nutrition. In this episode, Billy from Green Juju walks us through the research they conducted with Innovative Pet Lab on Soil, their veggie‑fermented probiotic blend, and what they actually saw in the dogs who took it. We dig into which symptoms improved (think digestion, skin, stool quality, and overall vitality), how those changes were measured, and why this kind of targeted probiotic support can be different from just grabbing any product off the shelf. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of what Soil is, how it’s made, and how to decide if a focused probiotic like this might belong in your own dog’s holistic health plan.
