Rethinking Flea & Tick Prevention: A More Conscious Approach with Dr Lise Hansen
About this episode
This episode discusses a more conscious approach to flea, tick, and worm prevention for dogs with holistic veterinarian Dr Lise Hansen.
Are flea, tick, and worm treatments actually necessary for dogs—or have we just been told they are? If you’ve ever felt uneasy about routine parasite prevention, this episode will help you take a more informed, conscious approach. I’m joined by holistic veterinarian Dr Lise Hansen to explore how we can move beyond fear-based, one-size-fits-all flea, tick, and worm treatments… and instead consider what’s truly right for our individual dogs. This episode is released on World Rethink Flea and Tick Prevention Day —a day created to raise awareness around the routine use of chemical parasite treatments, and their potential impact on our dogs, our ecosystems, and ourselves.
