## Resource

In this episode, Bre questions the holistic flea and tick conversation, the pressure around vaccines, and the growing realization that truly holistic care often means stepping outside the modern dog industry. She also share insights from homeopathic veterinarian William Falconer on fresh feeding, veterinary narratives, and the difference between curing, palliating, and suppressing disease. A thoughtful episode about what it really means to care for dogs holistically.
