    19. Common Sense Pet Parenting Tips

    Join Jessica, Pam & Janet as we talk about some of the things that we come across ALL THE TIME and what we'd like everyone to know!  It's true that common sense isn't all that common, and while we are teasing to some degree, and we know that we have intentionally educated ourselves in an area that most haven't, some things would be pretty obvious if we just stopped and thought logically about it.  That's what this episode is about. Stopping, removing biases, and thinking logically.  We hope you enjoy our rant!  Visit www.pethealthjunkies.com to follow Jessica, Janet, & Pam, and for FREE resources such as 🐈 Optimum Cat Nutrition PDF 🐕 Beginner Dog Training videos ⚕️Veterinary Visit Worksheet When we know better, we can do better.

    14. How To Use Mushrooms For Dogs and Cats

    In this conversation, Dr. Rob Silver discusses the safety and medicinal properties of mushrooms for pets. He explains that while some mushrooms can be toxic, many edible and medicinal mushrooms are safe for pets. Dr. Silver emphasizes the importance of sourcing mushrooms from reputable companies that can provide accurate identification and analysis of their products. He also discusses the ideal growing environments for mushrooms and the different delivery methods available, such as powders and tinctures. Additionally, Dr. Silver highlights the potential benefits of mushrooms for cancer treatment, immunity, and autoimmune diseases in pets. In this conversation, Dr. Rob Silver discusses the power of reishi mushrooms and their extensive history and research. He also recommends using other supplements like CBD, PEA, and ashwagandha for immune regulation. Mushrooms may not be effective for every condition, such as lipomas and certain types of cancer. Fresh mushrooms can be beneficial, but supplements offer a more concentrated and standardized dose. Long-term use of mushrooms is recommended for optimal wellness. Mushrooms, particularly shiitake, can also have positive effects on dental health. Dr. Rob Silver hosts monthly Q&A sessions on Facebook for further discussion and education on mushrooms and holistic health.
