“Why Your Dog Is Getting Sicker — And What Nature Can Do About It | Rita Hogan, Canine Herbalist”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPBkrB4IpC0
In this episode, Jenn Payeur sits down with Rita Hogan — bestselling author of The Herbal Dog and renowned Canine Herbalist — for a wide-ranging conversation about why our animals (and we) are getting sicker, and what we can do about it naturally.
Rita breaks down the real root causes behind the explosion of canine cancer, anxiety, and chronic illness — from over-vaccination and early spay/neuter to toxic household products, processed food, and the hidden dangers of citric acid and folic acid in our diets. She also dives deep into the powerful human-animal stress connection — and why your dog may literally be absorbing your anxiety.
If you have a pet, this conversation will change how you see their health — and yours.
In this episode:
Why 1 in 2 dogs over age 10 will die of cancer
How spay & neuter impacts your dog's hormones and lifespan
The nervous system, liver & gut: where all disease starts
How dogs absorb your stress (and what to do about it)
