If your dog is stressed out feeding them some hemp chews made could make all the difference. How exactly do they work? Hemp-based treats are high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which help support overall neuro health and are associated with calming, anti-stress effects.

Dr. Lisa Caprio, MD is an Anesthesiology Specialist in Naples, FL, and has over 32 years of experience in the medical field.

PetCoin With Rich Hudec

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 17:25:41 +0000

PetCoin was born from the real-life experiences of pet lovers. As the PetCoin project began its development, we were overwhelmed by the fragmented nature of the pet ownership and adoption industries. From talking with pet owners, shelters, and rescue organizations, we quickly learned the most pressing priority for them was cash flow.

Attracting donors and keeping them informed as to where the money is being spent is a top priority for responsible pet charity organizations. For pet owners, knowing where to best place their pet for adoption, a heart-aching time for most, was also as vitally important. PetCoin will help these important groups of pet lovers achieve their goals through the use of cutting-edge blockchain and Web3 technologies.

PetCoin is a digital currency (crypto) with the purpose that will give better lives to dogs and cats across the nation. Anytime PetCoin is utilized in commerce there is a small transaction fee that is donated to a pet charity in the name of the user. PetCoin currently has true utility with two proven use cases.

Her kind methods of training paid off, out of a possible 200 points, they consistently scored 199 and 199 1/2 in competitions.

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:35:31 +0000

Integrative Veterinarian Dr. Katie Kangas DVM, CVA, CVCP joins us today on It's A Dogs Life With Angela Ardolino, only on Cannabis Radio. Dr. Kangas is an integrative veterinarian, which means that she focuses on preventative health and supporting natural healing or wellness through many holistic options in combination with traditional veterinary medicine. Preventative wellness and holistic care options include diet/food choices, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, herbal medicines, homeopathic remedies, essential oils, and more. Conventional medicine (for both animals & people) tends to focus more on the treatment of disease and the symptoms of the disease after the condition or illness presents itself. While this type of health care can have value, it also has limitations. Preventative and integrative veterinary medicine aims to support the animal’s health through diet, nutrition, and lifestyle practices that allow our pets to be more resilient to disease and live better quality lives. In other words, providing our pets with the tools to thrive, rather than to just survive. In Dr. Kangas's opinion, the most balanced health care uses a combination of both conventional and holistic options. This is called Integrative Medicine. It is her goal to empower pet parents to make better choices and take a more active role in promoting health and quality of life for their pets. We talk today about Dr. Katie Kangas, her journey, where she thinks this industry is heading and much more on It's A Dogs Life with Angela Ardolino.

Her clients appreciate the education on holistic thinking that I offer along with treatment.

Veterinary Acupuncturist Dr. Erika Halle

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 21:37:02 +0000

Veterinary Acupuncturist Dr. Erika Halle joins Angela today on It's A Dogs Life! After a youth spent being driven to achieve a veterinary degree, Dr. Erika found herself floundering in her first year of veterinary school. She had worked so hard to get there, and once there she discovered that she was utterly bored with the conventional solutions to pet health issues that she had come to be familiar with. For a few months, Erika considered dropping out and changing careers altogether until a classmate reintroduced her to her curiosity about complementary and alternative treatments. Suddenly a holistic veterinarian was born! Dr. Erika believes that conventional medicine has its place and is extremely important but, for many conditions, offers limited options. Because of this, her career has been dedicated to holistic medicine since before its official start. Dr. Erika graduated from Oregon State University in 2010 with her veterinary degree. Shortly afterward (2 months later) she completed the final session of the Chi Institute’s mixed animal acupuncture certification course where she learned the basics of acupuncture and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) for cats, dogs, horses, and other animals. Afterward, she continued her training by moving to Canada to work with the founder of the first established holistic veterinary clinic in British Columbia. Dr. Marlene was one of the groups of veterinarians who were the first generation of North American veterinarians trained in acupuncture, and she passed the wisdom of her many years of TCVM experience on to Dr. Erika.

The Original CrockPET Diet with Dr. Ruth Roberts

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 16:34:50 +0000

The Original CrockPET Diet with Dr. Ruth Roberts, Veterinarian, Pet health transformer. Her life’s work as an integrative veterinarian and holistic health coach for pets has been one wrought with tales of triumph, tragedy, and tail wagging. But, like most good veterinarians, it began with my deep love for my childhood pets. It almost seemed as though a life spent helping animals was my destined path. While in veterinary school, it became apparent to her that her role as a veterinarian went well beyond checkups and surgeries. Dr. Ruth realized that she was not only a doctor to these pets but their friend and advocate. Our pets cannot speak up for themselves, they can’t tell you what hurts, or what they think is best. And many times, the owner can’t either. Her job has always been to communicate what others have failed and to provide healing with compassion. But her textbook knowledge and many years spent practicing traditional Western veterinary medicine only took me so far until she was hurled into a whirlwind of sickness, learning, healing, and ultimate change.

No More Vet Bills with Nora Lenz

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 10:53:11 +0000

No More Vet Bills with Nora Lenz. The unfortunate truth is that a very powerful and wealthy industry has been built on our failure to keep our animals well. Health doesn’t make anybody any money, and that’s why we don’t get reliable information on how to keep our animals healthy. Instead, our continued failure is encouraged surreptitiously via advice from vets that raw diets are “dangerous” and commercial pet food is “scientific”. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no “controversy” surrounding how dogs should be fed. There is only profit-motivated, deliberate obfuscation and ignorance on the part of those who make money from the status quo. Since the diet is the centerpiece of a healthy lifestyle, the first thing you should be thinking about if your dog has symptoms is transitioning him/her/them to a proper home-prepared diet.

The Holistic Vet Dr. Doug Knueven

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 17:40:00 +0000

The Holistic Vet, Dr. Doug Knueven today on It's a Dog's Life! Dr. Doug started with veterinary acupuncture as he had an interest in this therapy that was sparked by an after-hours lecture in vet school. After seeing the benefits of this strange healing modality, he completed courses in homeopathy, Chinese herbal medicine, and chiropractic. He also joined the American Holistic Medical Association and through their conferences, continue to learn more about holistic pet health. Today, for him the word health is more about lifestyle and less about what you go to the doctor to get. As excited as Dr. Doug is about alternative medicine, he has not thrown the baby out with the bathwater. He does see the value of Western medicine for certain situations. He practices integrative veterinary medicine which involves the use of the most appropriate treatment for the individual animal. As an integrative medicine practitioner, he has more tools in his kit to treat the many patients he sees. Along the way, Dr. Doug also realized that any given patient was not going to heal if they were not being fed properly. This led him into his own research into animal nutrition. He soon abandoned much of what he had been taught about nutrition in veterinary school, as that information is highly influenced by the major pet food companies. From his research and decades of experience, it is obvious that pets benefit from an evolution-based diet rather than the starch-rich, highly processed convenience pet foods most pet caregivers currently feed. Animals simply cannot be healthy if their bodies are not provided the raw materials and nutritional signals that are needed.

King Harvest and Cannabis Oil With Lee Simpson today on It's A Dogs Life with Angela Ardolino. Before discovering Cannabis Oil, Lee was near death. Standard medical practices weren’t able to help him with his seizure disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, and PTSD. It wasn’t until many years of suffering that he began a quest to seek alternatives in an attempt to save his own life. Doctors kept pumping him full of pills. This made everything worse. He also developed a dependency on many of the prescription pills that led to his downward spiral. Lee knew he needed to take matters into his own hands, get off of medications that were simply treating the symptoms on the surface, and find a safe and permanent alternative that could treat the underlying issue. Everything Lee read about his disorders and prescription drug damage led him to believe it would be years before he was back to normal. Through mountains of research and a lot of trial and error, he found Cannabis Oil. King Harvest is a group of compassionate-care counselors and naturopaths who work directly with doctors, patients, and support groups to help families gain reliable and safe access to healing cannabis remedies.

For a horse who had been competing at the highest level of the sport, this prognosis was a huge blow. To have nowhere else to turn was even worse.

Just because it is allergy season doesn’t mean your pet has to suffer. With just a few small changes, your pet can become more comfortable year-round. To start, make sure your pet’s diet isn’t the culprit of the allergies. Switch your dog to natural dog food, and make sure their treats are all-natural as well.

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 04:00:17 +0000

Coronavirus and Misleading Dog CBD Story. Today's episode Angela, Hernando, and Carter hit some of the hot topics in Pet CBD as well as coronavirus and Pets. A Georgia woman says one of her Chihuahuas died and another became ill after she fed them “calming treats” made with CBD oil. Dorinda Phillips, who uses CBD to help with her own Lupus, said both of her rescued dogs suffered from anxiety, and that she tried the product after a sales representative handed her a complimentary bag of dog treats called Happy Tails Calming Treats, made by the Charleston Hemp Company. She gave each dog one treat the first day, and the second day. Then, she said, she noticed they were both acting sick. The sicker of the two dogs, Phoebe, died at the vet’s office; the other dog, Hannah, was sick but survived. This story has taken over many media outlets but the way it is framed is VERY misleading. The group breaks down the issues with this story and why everyone needs to do their own research when it comes to stories like this. Next, they break down the effect of coronavirus (COVID-19) on your four-legged friends.

Where the lost dogs go with Susannah Charleson. In the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing, Susannah Charleson clipped a photo from the newspaper of an exhausted canine handler, face buried in the fur of his search-and-rescue dog. A dog lover and pilot with search experience herself, Susannah was so moved by the image that she decided to volunteer with a local canine team and soon discovered firsthand the long hours, nonexistent pay, and often heart-wrenching results they face. Once she qualified to train a dog of her own, she adopted Puzzle, a strong, bright Golden Retriever puppy who exhibited unique aptitudes as a working dog but who was less interested in the role of compliant house pet. The scent of the Missing is the story of Susannah and Puzzle’s adventures as they search for the missing a lost teen, an Alzheimer’s patient wandering in the cold, signs of the crew amid the debris of the space shuttle Columbia disaster and unravel the mystery of the bond between humans and dogs. A search dog with a gift for compassion, a stray dog with a gift for survival, a torn family who learned to make a difference, and the heartbreak healed by them all. When a K9 search specialist for missing persons turns to the work for lost pets, families are reunited, including her own.

I am looking forward to interviewing guests who will bring valuable information to pet parents so that they can make informed decisions for their families.” It’s a Dog’s Life will air weekly on Mondays and is kicking off with interviews with the nation’s top holistic veterinarians and pet experts. Episodes will feature Dr. Bob Goldstein, founder of Earth Animal, as well as Dr. Dee Blanco, Dr. Jean Hofve, and Dr. Karen Becker. Ardolino, who is based in the Tampa Bay Area, hopes to use the platform to share greater awareness for issues facing pet owners and to provide guidance and information on safely using CBD, essential oils, and other herbal treatments for pets. “In my experience of 40 years practicing veterinary medicine, I would put the benefits of CBD way at the top,” says Dr. Goldstein. “I have not seen many natural substances produce the results that CBD is producing in the animals we are testing on.” Cannabis Radio is home to The Tommy Chong Podcast, Cannabis Confidential with Dr. Dina, Blazin’ with Bobby Black, and Blunt Business, among other popular shows. It’s a Dog’s Life will be the only pet-centered show available on the network. Although hosted on Cannabis Radio the show will not solely focus on cannabis or CBD for pets but will also discuss a range of pet-related issues, triumphs, and industry happenings. “When I was approached by Cannabis Radio, I knew the platform would be ideal,” says Ardolino. “The show will be the only one of its kind on the network. Together with my business partner, Hernando Umana, I have been traveling the country to provide free CBD Sessions and seminars. While I still plan to continue to hold these seminars, the podcast platform will give us the opportunity to reach pet parents wherever they are at a time that is convenient for them.”
