The Pet Parenting Reset

There's a mass buyout that's been happening in veterinary medicine by giant conglomerates. You've probably noticed since 25% of primary care vets are now corporate owned and 75% of specialty and emergency vets are corporate owned. 

There's really no upside for anyone but the people at the top of the pyramid of these conglomerates. 

So, what can you do about it?

We are all focused on the gut these days ... and rightfully so! 

If we weren't all (this includes our four legged friends) eating such crappy diets, we may still be blissfully ignorant to the fact that 70% of the immune system is in the gut. We may also not have the handy term "leaky gut"

If you think you've done it all and still aren't seeing the results you want, Dr. Kaite Woodley may ha...
