  • Dr. Judy Jasek: Fear, Viruses & Vaccines - Challenging the Dominant Narrative 29.07.2026 1t 32min
    Are viruses really the primary cause of disease? Or have we been taught to view every symptom through the wrong lens?Bre Drake sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek for a thought-provoking conversation exploring contagion theory, vaccines, natural immunity, terrain, gut health, and the philosophy of supporting the body instead of suppressing symptoms. This episode challenges long-held assumptions and invites listeners to examine a very different model of health.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/⁠⁠⁠Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com⁠⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesDr. Judy Jasek’s Website: https://ahavet.com/Dr. Judy Jasek Rabies Webinar: https://rumble.com/v4k44ji-rabies-webinar-addressing-vet-trends-and-standards-of-care-with-holistic-ve.htmlDr. Jasek’s Substack: https://judyjasekdvm.substack.com/Purdue Study - https://titersforpets.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Vaccine-Induced-Autoimmunity-in-the-Dog-1999.pdfDr. William Falcolner’s Homeopathic Nosode Protocol: https://vitalanimal.com/parvo-distemper-nosodes-kit/Homeopathy Course: https://rmdyacademy.org/

  • Dr. Judy Jasek: When Your Dog Gets Cancer, A Different Conversation 03.06.2026 1t 14min
    Cancer can feel like the scariest word a dog parent hears, but what if diagnosis isn’t the end of the conversation? In this episode, Bre Drake sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek (40+ years in practice) to talk about prevention, environment, movement, nutrition, stress, and supporting the body’s innate ability to adapt and heal.

  • Kay Stewart: Fresh Food, Real Biology, Thriving Dogs 27.05.2026 1t 15min
    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.Follow Bre on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesFollow @FeedRealMovement on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/feedrealmovement/The Feed Real Institute (workshop, courses, research, feeding calculator): https://www.feedreal.com/Real Dog Food Box (species-appropriate treats & chews):real.dog/bredrakeDr. Connor Brady - Raw -Fed Guide Dogs: https://www.whoanelly.com.au/blog/what-happens-when-guide-dogs-are-fed-raw?srsltid=AfmBOorjRcqO3kpfi5K4Xn5F89c1RyL2yUKq14rvPqOOXANTfpOsEVab

    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.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠Show NotesFollow Jessica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/Wild Wellness Bioenergetics Testing: https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/Jessica's Podcast - The Pet Parenting Reset: https://open.spotify.com/show/6RUDWju4W3Y5Bdqif0ulLo?si=008c0706d36347b7Parsley Pet HTMA Testing: https://parsleypet.com/nutritional-blueprint-testing-for-dogs/
  • Jackie Jolie: Your Dog Is Light Deficient (And It’s Affecting Everything) 13.05.2026 1t 17min
    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.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠Show NotesFollow Jackie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anima__sol/AnimaSol Website (use code TailswellSOL for 10% discount): https://www.animasol.life/tailswellsolLight Shapes Life Webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ-H7f_mz0kLight Shapes Life Webinar Handout (includes tips, referrals, references, and product recommendations): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pB6EPThgcikjvbNQ_8gqH3DTnIlmMyl3/view?usp=drive_linkQuantum Biology Collective: www.quantumbiologycollective.org
  • Dr. Jeff Feinman: Symptoms are NOT the problem 06.05.2026 1t 29min
    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.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠Show NotesDr. Feinman's Website: https://www.holisticactions.com/Dr. Feinman's Instagram @holisticactions: https://www.instagram.com/holisticactions/Dr. Feinman's book - The Path to Pet Wellness: https://amzn.to/4exED67Pet Care 101 Course: https://www.holisticactions.com/holistic-pet-care-course/How a Holistic Approach to Animal Care Can Awaken Human Consciousness: https://observatory.wiki/How_a_Holistic_Approach_to_Animal_Care_Can_Awaken_Human_ConsciousnessThe holistic pet parent’s guide to better well-being and connection: Insights from a veterinary homeopath: https://www.sacbee.com/entertainment/living/wellness/article298657753.html#storylink=cpyDr. Bekoff's short and powerful book foreword: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ocTSyXaGpFdgZaYvhZ1hPm53_yU4yPh/view?usp=drive_linkhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/17ocTSyXaGpFdgZaYvhZ1hPm53_yU4yPh/view?usp=drive_link
  • Dr. Judy Jasek: The Problem with Modern Vet Medicine (and What Dogs Actually Need) 29.04.2026 1t 14min
    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.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-petsShow NotesDr. Jasek's website: https://ahavet.com/Dr. Jasek's Substack: https://substack.com/@jjdvm?r=4ujgjh&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=blurBook an appointment: https://ahavet.com/telemedicine/Resources: https://ahavet.com/resources/

    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.

  • What Flea & Tick Preventatives Actually Do Inside Your Dog 01.04.2026 38min
    Flea and tick preventatives are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in veterinary medicine, but how do they actually work? In this episode, holistic dog health educator Bre Drake takes a closer look at the class of drugs behind popular products like Bravecto, NexGard, and Simparica. She explores how these medications function inside the body, how they’re tested for safety, and what dog owners should understand before using them. Bre also discusses the concept of cumulative toxic load in modern dogs and why parasite prevention doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing conversation. This episode invites dog owners to step back from fear-based decision making and take a more informed look at the tradeoffs involved in protecting dogs from parasites.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tailswellhealth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tailswell.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL)Holistic Flea & Tick Support GuideAdored Beast Liver Tonic (Post-Med Support)Nexguard, Simparica & Bravecto - Are they safe for dogs? by Dogs NaturallyAffordable Pet Labs - at home pet diagnosticsFDA Fact Sheet for Pet Owners and Veterinarians about Potential Adverse Events Associated with Isoxazoline Flea and Tick ProductsFDA Warning: Flea & Tick Products (issued Sep 2018)Studies:The canine blood-brain barrier in health and disease: focus on brain protectionComparative analysis of isoxazoline activity on human and canine GABA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytesSurvey of canine use and safety of isoxazoline parasiticidesPharmacokinetics of fluralaner in dogs following a single oral or intravenous administrationSuspected neurological toxicity after oral application of fluralaner (Bravecto®) in a Kooikerhondje dog
  • The Vaccine Conversation No One Is Actually Having (with Paula Vandervoort) 25.03.2026 1t 19min
    In this in-depth conversation, Bre sits down with Paula Vandervoort — a 50+ year Boxer breeder, natural rearing expert, homeopath, naturopath, and founder of The Dog Breeder Store — a space dedicated to bringing holistic tools and education to breeders and dog parents alike.Together, they explore the origins and intention behind vaccines, how they function in the body, and where the conversation often falls short when it comes to understanding true immunity. Paula shares her perspective and research on adverse reactions, the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach, and why building a dog’s internal resilience and terrain matters more than any single intervention. They also dive into the disconnect between policy and biology when it comes to rabies, the role of titers, and the broader question of what actually creates a robust, adaptable immune system in dogs. This episode invites dog parents to step out of fear, ask better questions, and begin thinking about health in a more individualized, biologically aligned way.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tailswellhealth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tailswell.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show Notes Paula Vandervoort:The Dog Breeder StoreThe Natural Rearing Breeder ConnectionFacebook Group: Naturally Reared Holistic DogCreating Immunity w/o Vaccinations EbookDr. Todd Cooney's Parvo DataFacebook Group: ⁠The Unvaccinated Pet Community⁠Purdue Unvaccinated vs Vaccinated StudyDr. Pitcairn's WebsiteWhat Every Dog Parent Should Know About Vaccines (Referencing the work of Dr. Ronald Schultz)⁠Dr. William Falconer's Parvo/Distemper Nosode ProtocolAffordable Titer Testing (vet draws blood, you mail in )HemoPetTexas A & M Veterinary Diagnostics LabKansas State University Veterinary Diagnostics Lab
  • My Dog Lived to 15 on Kibble… So What’s the Problem? 19.03.2026 15min
    What if your dog “doing fine” isn’t the full story?In this episode, Bre addresses the unfortunately all-too-common mindset: "my dog lived to almost 15 on kibble and vaccines… so just do what works.” Longevity feels like proof, but one dog doing okay doesn’t define what’s optimal. It shows what that dog was able to tolerate. She talks about genetic resilience, the difference between surviving and thriving, and why “it worked for my dog” isn’t a complete picture, especially when more and more dogs aren’t doing fine.
  • Fleas, Vaccines, Fresh Food and the Cost of Opting Out 12.03.2026 33min
    In this episode, Bre questions the holistic flea and tick conversation, the pressure around vaccines, and the growing realization that truly holistic care often means stepping outside the modern dog industry. She also share insights from homeopathic veterinarian William Falconer on fresh feeding, veterinary narratives, and the difference between curing, palliating, and suppressing disease.

  • Strong Dogs Are Not Built on Diet Alone 19.02.2026 32min
    After a weekend at SEWE in Charleston, part birthday celebration, part wildlife expo, Bre left with lots of ideas for discussion here. Surrounded by powerful, purpose-driven working dogs and heavy Purina Pro Plan sponsorship, she couldn’t ignore the messaging that these dogs looked and performed the way they did because of the food (the kibble). In this episode, she reflects on lifestyle shifts (including her move toward natural fibers and reducing consumption), observations from the event, and the bigger biological picture behind canine performance. From movement and metabolic resilience to AAFCO standards and ultra-processed diets, she challenges the assumption that survival equals optimal. Because sponsorship isn’t the same as causation, and what truly builds a dog may not fit on a bag.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@tailswellhealth⁠⁠⁠Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠Tailswell.com⁠⁠⁠
