Dr. Randy explores the best low-shedding dog breeds—from the Standard Poodle to the Lagotto Romagnolo—and discusses the critical difference between "hair" and "fur" in pet health and grooming. Whether you are looking for a loyal companion or an active outdoor partner, understanding these breed traits is essential for responsible dog ownership.Dr. Randy and his cohost, veterinary student Olivia Sacci dive into why temperament should always be your number one priority when choosing a new family member. We cover the grooming requirements of single-layer coats, the truth behind "hypoallergenic" labels, and why Dr. Randy recommends proactive genetic testing using tools like Wisdom Panel or Embark. You’ll also learn about "root cause" preventative care, including how supplements like Ubiquinol can support heart health based on ProBNP enzyme levels.
