## Resource

Antibiotics can save your dog's life — but they can also silently sabotage their gut health, immune system, and behavior. In this episode, I break down what every pet parent needs to know about antibiotics and the gut microbiome: what actually gets wiped out, what is dysbiosis, what it looks like (hint: it's not always diarrhea), and what I recommend during and after antibiotics to protect your dog's long-term health. Whether your dog has had one round or five, this episode will help you understand what's going on beneath the surface — and how to take back control of their gut health without guilt, overwhelm, or fear. We cover: How antibiotics disrupt beneficial gut bacteria What dysbiosis looks like in dogs (months later) Which antibiotics are the harshest What probiotics I use (and when to give them) How to support the gut before, during, and after treatment Common myths that even vets still believe Links & Resources: Want 1:1 support to discuss how to support your dog with their nutrition?
