About this episode

Dr. Carra Walters interviews Dr. Emily Roth about integrative veterinary medicine and holistic approaches to pet care.

Join us for a refreshing and practical conversation with holistic veterinarian Dr. Emily Roth! In this episode, Dr. Roth and I discuss the world of integrative veterinary medicine, sharing how treatments like acupuncture, chiropractic care, Chinese herbs, and nutrition can revolutionise pet health, mobility, and comfort. Discover how Dr. Roth blends Eastern and Western therapies for large and small animals, busts myths about “natural” treatments, and explains why “holistic” doesn’t mean anti-medicine or anti-vaccine.

Dr. Roth shares her honest advice on quality of life, end-of-life care, and how pet owners can create happier, healthier lives for their animals.
