How Loss, Curiosity, and Dogs Led Me Here

from Love Your Dogs · host Bre Drake of Tailswell

In this episode, I share the story behind Love Your Dogs and why I can’t practice dog care the same way anymore. After losing my two golden retrievers, Skip and Ann, to cancer, I began asking harder questions about food, vaccines, preventatives, and how much of what we call “normal care” is actually built for convenience, not long-term health. I’m not a veterinarian, but I am a holistic dog health educator who has spent years learning, questioning, and applying this work with my own dogs. This podcast exists to help dog parents think more critically, trust their observations, and make more informed choices for the dogs they love because loving your dog means being willing to look closer.Love your dogs.Connect & Learn More:Follow Bre on Instagram: @tailswellhealth https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/Book a one-on-one consultation with Bre and grab her downloadable guides for healthier dogs: https://www.tailswell.com/
