Dr. Judy chats with Dr. Laurie McCauley, a pioneer in veterinary rehabilitation, about the importance of exercise for dogs. Dr. Laurie emphasizes that exercise increases longevity and quality of life, especially for older dogs. She advises against letting puppies go upstairs alone until 12 weeks and suggests starting basic exercises like sit-to-stands at 8-12 weeks. Dr. McCauley shares her success with her dog Sid, who improved significantly with a structured exercise program. She also discusses the benefits of exercise on brain function and offers a free ebook on exercises for geriatric dogs.

They're a family owned human grade pet food company that makes gently cooked whole food recipes for dogs and cats, I feel good recommending Raised Right, because most of their recipes have less than 2% carbs, and their recipes are so simple, many have just 10 ingredients or less, they were able to formulate their adult dog recipes to be complete and balanced using only Whole Foods without any synthetic vitamins or minerals. Raised Right has also teamed up with both Dr Karen Becker and Dr Barbara Royal to create a new line of veterinary support recipes to help with specific health issues. They formulated low phosphorus recipes for kidney support and low fat recipes for pancreatic support. My own dogs and cats absolutely love Raised Right.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #2 
Hi. Dr Judy Morgan, here, let me ask you something. How much have you already spent trying to help your pets? $1000s in vet bills with minimal results, $100s on supplements that didn't work, and countless hours researching and second guessing yourself. What if you could turn all that frustration into real knowledge that actually works? The Holistic Pet Health Coach certification with Dr Ruth Roberts isn't another generic pet nutrition course. This is 16 weeks of veterinary level education, the same training that qualifies for 40 continuing education hours for veterinarians. You'll master how the body actually works, why chronic diseases develop, and how to address root causes using integrative medicine and targeted nutrition protocols. This is about understanding your pet's health at a level most vets never reach. It's about having answers when conventional medicine says there's nothing more we can do. Don't spend another year wondering, What if! Go to Holisticpethealthcoach.com mention HPHC10 and save 10% on this program that could transform how you care for your pets forever

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
