In this episode, I'm chatting about kidney health as we roll into "kidney season" (yep, that’s a thing) from December 21st to March 21st, and I’m sharing some nuggets from my book The Herbal Dog. I’ll explain how kidney issues can sneak up on us — like subtle signs of urinary changes or joint pain — before they show up on blood work, and how you can spot them early. I’ll also cover natural remedies for both hot and cold kidney imbalances, and share a little story about my cat Carl's recent urinary blockage (cue stress and chaos). Tune in for some down-to-earth tips to keep your dog’s kidneys happy and healthy this winter!

In this episode, I’m answering a listener's question about gallbladder sludge in dogs—something I’ve been seeing more of lately. Irene wrote in about her Chihuahua's condition and asked for advice, so I dive into what gallbladder sludge is, how it affects digestion, and what you can do to support your dog’s liver and gallbladder health. I also share some of my favorite herbal remedies for thinning bile and improving liver function, like dandelion root, milk thistle, and turmeric. If your dog is struggling with digestive issues or gallbladder concerns, this episode is full of helpful insights and natural solutions to support their overall wellness.
