About this episode

The episode discusses the causes of scratching in pets and the importance of holistic approaches to parasite management.

Fleas, ticks, and heartworm infections are primary causes of extreme scratching and serious illness in pets, presenting a dual challenge of managing intense physical discomfort and preventing life-threatening diseases. Holistic veterinary experts like Dr. Michael Dym, an advocate for an integrative approach to parasite management emphasizes balancing traditional parasite prevention with the root causes of poor immunity, such as diet quality and the overuse of multiple vaccines.
