Episode 76: Get to Know Your Vet with Dr. Barbara Royal: The Wild Health Secret Every Dog Owner Needs to Hear

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Barbara Royal — an integrative veterinarian, author, educator, and the founder of the Wild Health philosophy.Dr. Royal shares her journey from growing up as the only science-minded kid in a family of artists and musicians, to working with spotted owls in Oregon, to building one of Chicago's most respected integrative veterinary practices — where she has cared for the pets of some of the world's most famous people, including Oprah.We talk about:What Wild Health really means — and the spotted owl encounter that started it allWhy being 100% present is the most powerful healing tool a veterinarian (or anyone) can haveHow the energy in an exam room shapes the outcome of treatmentThe "I Must Be Wrong" philosophy — and why admitting mistakes makes you a better doctorWhy boundaries transform anxious, confused dogs into calm and confident onesThe connection between our own patterns, guilt, and the way we show up for our animalsThis conversation goes far beyond veterinary medicine. We explore focus, control, nature, purpose, and what it means to let go — including a story about a flat tire in Botswana, a full moon, and eight giraffes running across the twilight.I hope you enjoy this honest, warm, and deeply inspiring conversation with Dr. Barbara Royal.Learn more about Dr. Barbara Royal: 🌐 royaltreatmentveterinarycenter.com 🌐 civtedu.org 🌐 animaldietformulator.comTo learn more about holistic dog health, visit www.peterdobias.com for blogs, free resources, and natural supplements.Visit our website: https://peterdobias.com/ Visit us on social media: Facebook Instagram Twitter#WildHealth #HolisticVet #NaturalDogCare #IntegrativeVeterinarian #DogHealth #DrBárbaraRoyal #DrPeterDobias #HealingAnimals #DogWellness #ConsciousDogGuardians
