It's Not Genetics: The Real Root Cause of Chronic Disease in Dogs

One in 1.65 dogs in the U.S. is currently being diagnosed with cancer. That number closely mirrors the human cancer rate, and according to today's guest, that is not a coincidence. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marlene Siegel, an integrative veterinarian with over 40 years of experience, to talk about what is actually driving the rise in chronic disease and cancer in dogs. Not just genetics. Not just bad luck. The specific, addressable root causes that are often overlooked: essential nutrient deficiency, toxic overload, and what happens to the body when both are present at the same time. We cover Dr. Siegel's 6-step healing framework, why leaky gut may be at the center of most immune and autoimmune issues in dogs, the truth about tap water and indoor air quality, and how to start making real changes without becoming overwhelmed. If you want a clear, practical starting point, download our free Holistic Pet Wellness Blueprint at: https://pawdega.us/blueprintFor pet parents ready to support their dog's detox pathways, we recommend The Exchange, the Leaky Gut Protocol, and Liver Tonic, all available at PAWDEGA: https://pawdega.usUse code NEXTLEVEL for a discount on your first order. Learn more about Dr. Marlene Siegel and her online courses for pet parents at DrMarleneSiegel.com. This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional veterinary guidance.
