Love Your Dogs

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 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

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 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

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/
