As pet parents increasingly seek advice on nutrition and natural remedies like CBD and mushrooms from their vets, many are discovering a gap in their conventional veterinarian’s knowledge and resources, prompting them to search elsewhere for the help they need. In this episode of Your Natural Dog, Angela Ardolino is joined by Dr. Joyce Liy, an integrative veterinarian specializing in holistic therapies and nutrition. Continuing our "What Vets Aren't Taught" series, Dr. Liy shares insights from her veterinary school experience, shedding light on the lack of emphasis on nutrition and holistic care in traditional veterinary education. Together, Angela and Dr. Liy delve into the importance of viewing food as medicine for pets, and challenging the standardized overuse, or misuse, of pharmaceutical drugs in veterinary treatment. They explore holistic veterinary practices, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, CBD, and the benefits of medicinal mushrooms, advocating for a personalized approach to pet health and wellness.
