    Kay Stewart: Fresh Food, Real Biology, Thriving Dogs

    In this episode of Love Your Dogs, Bre sits down with Kay Stewart of the Feed Real Institute to unpack the truth about canine nutrition, raw feeding, kibble culture, and the anatomy of a carnivore. Kay, lead educator at the Feed Real Institute, is also a Registered Veterinary Technician and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist with over 40 years of experience in the veterinary field, and has been endorsed by multiple veterinarians and canine nutritionists specifically to teach nutrition courses. Together, they dive into why dogs were never designed to live on ultra-processed food, how veterinary nutrition education is heavily influenced by the pet food industry, the problem with synthetic vitamins and minerals, why dental disease has become normalized in dogs, and how fresh feeding can be far more affordable and approachable than people think. This conversation is packed with practical guidance, foundational biology, and empowering perspective shifts for dog parents looking to feed and support their dogs in a more species-appropriate way.

    Jessica Arrington: Super Fleas, Energetics & Returning Dogs to Nature

    In this episode of the Love Your Dogs podcast, Bre sits down with Jess Arrington of Wild Wellness Pet and the Pet Parenting Reset podcast to explore bioenergetics testing, stress, vitality, flea and tick overwhelm, chronic illness, and the growing disconnect between modern dogs and nature. Together, they discuss energetics versus physiological testing, “super fleas,” cancer susceptibility, raw feeding, nervous system regulation, and why returning to the foundations, like sunlight, movement, real food, and connection, matter more than constantly chasing and stacking supplements, medications, and protocols.

    Jackie Jolie: Your Dog Is Light Deficient (And It’s Affecting Everything)

    In this episode of Love Your Dogs, Bre Drake sits down with Jackie Jolie, founder of AnimaSol, to explore one of the most overlooked yet foundational aspects of health, for both humans and dogs, light. While modern dog care focuses heavily on food, supplements, and medications, this conversation uncovers a deeper layer of how light exposure (or lack of it) is influencing everything from hormones and metabolism to behavior, recovery, and long-term disease. Jackie shares her journey into quantum biology after battling Lyme disease, and how understanding the role of sunlight, circadian rhythm, and cellular energy transformed her health and now the way she approaches animal wellness.

    Dr. Jeff Feinman: Symptoms are NOT the problem

    Most of what we’ve been taught about health—human or animal—is backwards. In this conversation with wholistic and homeopathic anveterinarian, Dr. Jeff Feinman, we get into what’s really going on beneath symptoms… and why the constant urge to suppress, label, and “fix” the body might be the very thing making our dogs sicker. We talk about vitality, stress, energy, and why happiness, movement, and connection often matter more than anything you can buy. This one goes deeper than diet, deeper than supplements—this is about how the body actually works… and what happens when we finally stop fighting it.

    Dr. Judy Jasek: The Problem with Modern Vet Medicine (and What Dogs Actually Need)

    In this episode, Are sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek, the vet who helped shape how she thinks about dog health after walking through cancer with her own dogs. They get into the uncomfortable reality of modern veterinary medicine… the one-size-fits-all model, the over-reliance on diagnoses, and why so many dogs are stuck in cycles of chronic illness. This is a conversation about stepping outside the system, questioning what we’ve been taught, and starting to look at dogs as individuals again by considering their environment, lifestyle, stress, and overall terrain instead of just managing symptoms. If you’ve ever felt like the conventional approach isn’t adding up… you’re not wrong.

    Angela Ardolino: Hemp, Mushrooms & the Dark Side of the Supplement Industry

    Angela Ardolino is the founder of CBD Dog Health and MycoDog and one of the most outspoken voices in the natural pet health space. In this conversation we dive into hemp, medicinal mushrooms, the wild west of the pet supplement industry, and why she believes so many dogs today are suffering under a system that suppresses symptoms instead of supporting the body. Angela shares the experiences that shaped her views — from rescuing sick dogs to witnessing firsthand the damage modern veterinary medicine causes when it ignores nature.
