In this powerful and emotional conversation, I sit down with Kelly, founder of the 170,000+ member community Saving Pets One Pet @ a Time (The Original), to explore how heartbreak, advocacy, and education can change the future of animal health.
Kelly shares the story of losing her beloved dog Duncan to contaminated commercial dog food—an experience that sparked her mission to educate pet parents and hold major pet food companies accountable. Together, Kelly and I unpack the crucial differences between conventional, holistic, and integrative care, both for pets and for people.
From navigating online pet “experts” to understanding what functional medicine really means, this episode is full of hard-won wisdom, practical tips, and empowering takeaways for anyone seeking trustworthy, root-cause-based care.
