Hidden Chemicals in Your Home That Affect Your Dog’s Health | Short
152: In this holiday short, I’m digging into something most dog parents barely think about, all the stuff we put on our dogs and around them. Shampoos, sprays, cleaners, even the things on your floors, it all adds up, and your dog’s skin, liver, kidneys, and microbiome are doing way more work than you realize. I share a few stories, a few surprises, and why some products you think are harmless might actually be stirring up itchiness, inflammation, and behavior changes.
If you’ve ever wondered whether that shampoo or household cleaner matters for your dog’s health, you’ll definitely want to listen to this one.
