This week, Bre takes a break from guest interviews and shares the story behind Tailswell, the dogs who changed her life, and the path that led her from accounting, photography and design into holistic dog health education. She reflects on grief, regrets, quality of life, raising Pine differently, navigating travel and raw feeding on the road, and why her goal has never been perfection or longevity at all costs but helping dogs live fuller, healthier lives for as long as they’re here.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/⁠⁠Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesFresh Fur Pets Online: https://www.freshfurpets.com/Raw Feeding Miami: https://www.rawfeedingmiami.com/Real Dog Box (species appropriate air dried treats/chews/meal toppers): real.dog/bredrakeNo Bad Dogs by Tom Davis (love his e-collar training videos): https://www.youtube.com/@tomdavisofficialPine's Potion - What is it?: https://www.tailswell.com/porch-wolf-rinsesPine's Potion - Join Waitlist!: https://www.tailswell.com/shop/p/pinespotionherbalrinse

Bre Drake sits down with her very first holistic pet health coaching client, Jenny Richmond, to tell the story of Birdie - a special dog diagnosed with severe dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure at just two years old. Together they explore diagnosis, prognosis, pharmaceuticals, fresh food, gentle support, consistency, energy, and the mindset shift from managing disease to supporting health. A conversation about patience, possibility, and what can happen when hope stays in the room. Birdie is a miracle.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/⁠Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show Notes"Every Single Cell Inside my Body is Happy and Well" song: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYuiuocoBEc/?igsh=NjF4Ynl2b2RldWE4Solutions Pet Products (premade raw recipes): https://solutionspetproducts.com/where-to-buy/Green Juju Vegetable Blends: https://greenjuju.com/collections/frozen-and-freeze-dried-blendsAmber Naturalz Heart Care (Hawthorn & Dandelion): https://ambernaturalz.com/product/hawthorn-dandelion-heart-care-for-pets/Trusted Mushroom Tinctures by MycoDog: https://mycodog.com/

Bre Drake sits down with animal behavior specialist and former breeder Judy Comer-Calder, the Devon Dog Lady, for a conversation on what happens when we stop treating dogs like little humans and start understanding them as dogs. Together they explore behavior, leadership, separation anxiety, overstimulation, movement, species-appropriate living, and why so many modern struggles may actually begin in the relationship itself.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealthVisit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesJudy Comer's website (courses, education, coaching): https://www.thedevondoglady.co.ukJudy's Intagram (@thedevondoglady): https://www.instagram.com/thedevondoglady

Cancer can feel like the scariest word a dog parent hears, but what if diagnosis isn’t the end of the conversation? In this episode, Bre Drake sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek (40+ years in practice) to talk about prevention, environment, movement, nutrition, stress, and supporting the body’s innate ability to adapt and heal. This conversation offers a different lens on cancer care and encourages dog parents to feel informed, empowered, and hopeful.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/⁠Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesDr. Jasek's webite: ⁠https://ahavet.com/⁠Dr. Jasek's Substack: ⁠https://substack.com/@jjdvm?r=4ujgjh&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=blur⁠Book an appointment: ⁠https://ahavet.com/telemedicine/⁠Resources: ⁠https://ahavet.com/resources/⁠Rabies Webinar: https://rumble.com/v4k44ji-rabies-webinar-addressing-vet-trends-and-standards-of-care-with-holistic-ve.htmlOncotect At-Home Cancer Screening: https://oncotect.co/?bg_ref=l8NQZr9dOT

In this episode of Love Your Dogs, Bre sits down with Kay Stewart of the Feed Real Institute to unpack the truth about canine nutrition, raw feeding, kibble culture, and the anatomy of a carnivore. Kay, lead educator at the Feed Real Institute, is also a Registered Veterinary Technician and Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist with over 40 years of experience in the veterinary field, and has been endorsed by multiple veterinarians and canine nutritionists specifically to teach nutrition courses. Together, they dive into why dogs were never designed to live on ultra-processed food, how veterinary nutrition education is heavily influenced by the pet food industry, the problem with synthetic vitamins and minerals, why dental disease has become normalized in dogs, and how fresh feeding can be far more affordable and approachable than people think. This conversation is packed with practical guidance, foundational biology, and empowering perspective shifts for dog parents looking to feed and support their dogs in a more species-appropriate way.Follow Bre on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠⁠Show NotesFollow @FeedRealMovement on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/feedrealmovement/The Feed Real Institute (workshop, courses, research, feeding calculator): https://www.feedreal.com/Real Dog Food Box (species-appropriate treats & chews):real.dog/bredrakeDr. Connor Brady - Raw -Fed Guide Dogs: https://www.whoanelly.com.au/blog/what-happens-when-guide-dogs-are-fed-raw?srsltid=AfmBOorjRcqO3kpfi5K4Xn5F89c1RyL2yUKq14rvPqOOXANTfpOsEVab

In this episode of the Love Your Dogs podcast, Bre sits down with Jess Arrington of Wild Wellness Pet and the Pet Parenting Reset podcast to explore bioenergetics testing, stress, vitality, flea and tick overwhelm, chronic illness, and the growing disconnect between modern dogs and nature. Together, they discuss energetics versus physiological testing, “super fleas,” cancer susceptibility, raw feeding, nervous system regulation, and why returning to the foundations, like sunlight, movement, real food, and connection, matter more than constantly chasing and stacking supplements, medications, and protocols.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell ⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠⁠Show NotesFollow Jessica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/Wild Wellness Bioenergetics Testing: https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/Jessica's Podcast - The Pet Parenting Reset: https://open.spotify.com/show/6RUDWju4W3Y5Bdqif0ulLo?si=008c0706d36347b7Parsley Pet HTMA Testing: https://parsleypet.com/nutritional-blueprint-testing-for-dogs/

In this episode of Love Your Dogs, Bre Drake sits down with Jackie Jolie, founder of AnimaSol, to explore one of the most overlooked yet foundational aspects of health, for both humans and dogs, light. While modern dog care focuses heavily on food, supplements, and medications, this conversation uncovers a deeper layer of how light exposure (or lack of it) is influencing everything from hormones and metabolism to behavior, recovery, and long-term disease. Jackie shares her journey into quantum biology after battling Lyme disease, and how understanding the role of sunlight, circadian rhythm, and cellular energy transformed her health and now the way she approaches animal wellness.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠⁠Show NotesFollow Jackie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anima__sol/AnimaSol Website (use code TailswellSOL for 10% discount): https://www.animasol.life/tailswellsolLight Shapes Life Webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ-H7f_mz0kLight Shapes Life Webinar Handout (includes tips, referrals, references, and product recommendations): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pB6EPThgcikjvbNQ_8gqH3DTnIlmMyl3/view?usp=drive_linkQuantum Biology Collective: www.quantumbiologycollective.org

Most of what we’ve been taught about health—human or animal—is backwards.In this conversation with wholistic and homeopathic anveterinarian, Dr. Jeff Feinman, we get into what’s really going on beneath symptoms… and why the constant urge to suppress, label, and “fix” the body might be the very thing making our dogs sicker. We talk about vitality, stress, energy, and why happiness, movement, and connection often matter more than anything you can buy. This one goes deeper than diet, deeper than supplements—this is about how the body actually works… and what happens when we finally stop fighting it.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ ⁠SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): ⁠https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets⁠Show NotesDr. Feinman's Website: https://www.holisticactions.com/Dr. Feinman's Instagram @holisticactions: https://www.instagram.com/holisticactions/Dr. Feinman's book - The Path to Pet Wellness: https://amzn.to/4exED67Pet Care 101 Course: https://www.holisticactions.com/holistic-pet-care-course/How a Holistic Approach to Animal Care Can Awaken Human Consciousness: https://observatory.wiki/How_a_Holistic_Approach_to_Animal_Care_Can_Awaken_Human_ConsciousnessThe holistic pet parent’s guide to better well-being and connection: Insights from a veterinary homeopath: https://www.sacbee.com/entertainment/living/wellness/article298657753.html#storylink=cpyDr. Bekoff's short and powerful book foreword: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ocTSyXaGpFdgZaYvhZ1hPm53_yU4yPh/view?usp=drive_linkhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/17ocTSyXaGpFdgZaYvhZ1hPm53_yU4yPh/view?usp=drive_link

In this episode, Are sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek, the vet who helped shape how she thinks about dog health after walking through cancer with her own dogs. They get into the uncomfortable reality of modern veterinary medicine… the one-size-fits-all model, the over-reliance on diagnoses, and why so many dogs are stuck in cycles of chronic illness.This is a conversation about stepping outside the system, questioning what we’ve been taught, and starting to look at dogs as individuals again by considering their environment, lifestyle, stress, and overall terrain instead of just managing symptoms. If you’ve ever felt like the conventional approach isn’t adding up… you’re not wrong.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-petsShow NotesDr. Jasek's website: https://ahavet.com/Dr. Jasek's Substack: https://substack.com/@jjdvm?r=4ujgjh&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=blurBook an appointment: https://ahavet.com/telemedicine/Resources: https://ahavet.com/resources/

Angela Ardolino is the founder of CBD Dog Health and MycoDog and one of the most outspoken voices in the natural pet health space. In this conversation we dive into hemp, medicinal mushrooms, the wild west of the pet supplement industry, and why she believes so many dogs today are suffering under a system that suppresses symptoms instead of supporting the body. Angela shares the experiences that shaped her views — from rescuing sick dogs to witnessing firsthand the damage modern veterinary medicine causes when it ignores nature.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tailswellhealth/ Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tailswell.com/ SponsorsVenjenz Motherboard for Pets (code TAILSWELL): https://venjenz.com/products/motherboard-for-pets Show NotesAngela's Websites:https://angelaardolino.com/https://cbddoghealth.com/https://mycodog.com/Mushroom Support for CCD "Doggy Dementia" Study:Evaluation of a Mushroom-Derived Nutraceutical for Canine Cognitive Declinehttps://www.seniordogstudy.com/Cognitive Support Products: https://mycodog.com/collections/cognition
