Dogs Are Individuals

163: Okay, now onto eyes - last episode we talked cataracts, today it’s glaucoma. These two get lumped together a lot, but they’re really different. Cataracts mess with the lens, glaucoma messes with pressure inside the eye, and both can cause vision problems if ignored. I explain why fluid movement, lymphatic drainage, liver health, and nutrition all play a role…not just for your dog, but honestly, it applies to us too.

160: We’re continuing our deep look at dental health, but this time I’m taking you beyond plaque and tartar and into terrain, inflammation, mineral balance, and how chronic periodontal disease can quietly impact the heart valves.

Dental disease is never just about brushing. It’s about the ecosystem inside your dog, their minerals, their liver, their lymphatic flow, their stress levels, and their immune strength. Everything is connected. If you want to understand how oral inflammation trickles down into heart health and what that means for longevity, this episode is for you.
