Summary

What if your dog “doing fine” isn’t the full story? In this episode, Bre addresses the unfortunately all-too-common mindset: "my dog lived to almost 15 on kibble and vaccines… so just do what works.” Longevity feels like proof, but one dog doing okay doesn’t define what’s optimal. It shows what that dog was able to tolerate. She talks about genetic resilience, the difference between surviving and thriving, and why “it worked for my dog” isn’t a complete picture, especially when more and more dogs aren’t doing fine.
