  • How to Listen to Your Pet: Energy Healing, Bodywork & Healing Past Trauma

    How to Listen to Your Pet: Energy Healing, Bodywork & Healing Past Trauma
    Jun 8 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Edward Bassingthwaighte, aka The Healing Vet, to explore one of the most fascinating (and sometimes misunderstood) topics in animal care: energy healing. Dr. Edward shares his deeply personal journey from working in conventional vet hospitals to creating his own method of intuitive bodywork and energy healing to being forced to heal himself from Lyme disease and chronic fatigue when western medicine failed. We talk about how therapeutic touch helped him relieve pain and trauma in animals, and why your emotional state directly affects your pet’s well-being, something I know many of us have felt in our bones. He opens up about telepathic communication with animals (yep, it's a thing), what it’s like to connect with pets across the globe via Zoom, and how every single one of us can tap into our own healing abilities to help our pets. If you've ever wondered if your pet would benefit from energy healing or body work this episode is for you.


    KEY INSIGHTS:

    • How Dr. Edward’s own health crisis led him to develop the Whole Energy Body Balance Method.

    • How animals taught him how to heal with touch.

    • How you can support your pet with anxiety, trauma, or pain through bodywork.

    • A wild story about a rescue dog who kept running away… until one energy healing session changed everything.

    • The truth about pets “mirroring” your emotions (and how to help them by healing yourself).

    • The one daily grounding practice every pet parent should do, for their sake and their pets.

    • How Dr. Edward learnt a technique to help horses who are lame walk again.

    • How to spot common signs of stress in your cat or dog.

    • What it means if your pet doesn’t seem to have the ability to learn.

    • And how you can take Dr. Edward’s course and learn to do energy work on your own pet.

  • VetBilling: Turn your vet bills into a payment plan

    VetBilling: Turn your vet bills into a payment plan
    Jun 1 2025
    This week, we’re having a conversation that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime but impacts almost every pet parent at some point. I’m joined by Suzanne Cannon, founder of VetBilling, for a powerful and honest discussion about the money side of vet care and how we can make it less stressful, less overwhelming, and way more compassionate for everyone involved. Suzanne shares the personal story that inspired her to create VetBilling after experiencing firsthand what it’s like to be a loving, responsible pet parent who suddenly couldn’t afford care. Since then, she’s helped thousands of families access the treatment their pets need by partnering with clinics to offer flexible, judgment-free payment plans. We talk about the big difference between credit-based financing options like CareCredit, Scratchpay, or the All Pet Card and how VetBilling offers a completely different path, one that puts the relationship first and removes the fear of being denied based on a credit score. We also get into how VetBilling compares to pet insurance, and why, despite its growing popularity, insurance alone often isn’t enough to cover emergency or unexpected costs. If you’ve ever worried about how to afford vet care, want to feel prepared for the unexpected, or if you’re a veterinary professional trying to make it easier for your clients then this episode is a must-listen. KEY INSIGHTS:Why so many pet parents stay silent about financial concerns and how subtle hints often go unnoticed in the exam room.The emotional cost of care and why affordability isn’t just about price, it’s about flexibility and dignity.How clinics can create a “financially friendly ethos” with simple passive education (like social posts, brochures, and signage).The difference between someone who can’t afford care and someone who just needs time to pay.The psychology behind how we make financial decisions under stress and how that affects pet parents in emergency situations.Why CareCredit isn’t the right fit for everyone and how VetBilling fills the gap with human-first, clinic-controlled financing.How pet insurance works, why it’s not always enough, and how pairing it with a payment plan can make care much more accessible.Why it’s time to bring the same compassion we show during treatment to the financial side of care too.How VetBilling has helped thousands of families access care they would have otherwise had to decline.How Pumpkin Pet Insurance could be a game changer for pet parents. And we explore how our fur babies really are our babies (and that’s why we’d do anything for them). RESOURCES:We do offer payment plans through VetBilling for our clients at the Integrative Pet Wellness Center 💖And if you’re a vet and you’d like to implement this for your practise or you're a pet parent who wants to suggest this to your vet here is the VetBilling website 👇https://vetbilling.com/You can also find Suzanne’s free CE course on becoming a financially friendly clinic herehttps://www.introvetce.com/overcoming-barriersFOLLOW:VetBilling: @vetbillingIntegrative Pet Wellness Center: https://integrativepet.comIntegrative Pet Wellness Center on Instagram: @integrativepetDr. Lily Chen on Instagram: @dr.lilychen @the.unicorn.vet Sign up to our newsletter to get more holistic pet care tips

  • Magic Mushrooms for Pets? Microdosing, Trauma, and the Canine Psilocybin Project w/ Dr. Rob Silver

    Magic Mushrooms for Pets? Microdosing, Trauma, and the Canine Psilocybin Project w/ Dr. Rob Silver
    May 25 2025

    This episode is a little woo… and a lot groundbreaking. We’re talking about magic mushrooms for pets. In Part 2 of my conversation with integrative vet and medicinal mushroom expert Dr. Rob Silver, we explore how psilocybin (the compound in psychedelic mushrooms) could offer new hope for pets with anxiety, PTSD, and trauma-based behavioral issues. Dr. Silver shares the story of his own rescue dog Ollie, who struggles with PTSD after early-life trauma, and what happened when he began microdosing him using small amounts of psilocybin. We unpack how this controversial yet promising compound is being used with humans in clinical therapy, and what it might mean for our animal companions. We also dive into the emotional root of chronic illness, how trauma manifests physically, and why being open to the “woo” might actually be the scientific edge we need. If you’ve ever wondered about magic mushrooms for pets this episode is for you.


    KEY INSIGHTS:

    • What psilocybin is, how it works, and how therapists are using it to help humans with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

    • The difference between high-dose psychedelic use and microdosing and why Dr. Silver sees potential for microdosing in veterinary care.

    • The story of Ollie, Dr. Silver’s rescue dog, and how he’s taking psilocybin for PTSD.

    • How the Canine Microdosing Project is exploring psilocybin’s potential therapeutic benefits for pets.

    • Why it’s time we take emotional trauma in pets more seriously, and how behavior labeled as “anxiety” could actually be trauma adaptation.

    • How Dr. Silver wants to develop safe dosing protocols before broader use.

    • Why Dr. Lily believes emotional healing is just as important as physical treatment, and how trauma shows up in the body.

    • How an animal communicator could help you get inside your pets mind and understand what they’re thinking.

    • And how your pet could apply to join the Canine Microdosing Project.
