In this episode, I explain how pH works throughout your dog's body, why healthy dogs naturally have different pH levels in different organs, and why trying to \"alkalize\" your dog may do more harm than good. You'll learn how blood pH differs from urine pH, what urine testing can actually reveal, and why looking at the whole dog is more important than focusing on a single number. Topics Discussed: → What does pH actually mean in dogs? → Should you try to make your dog more alkaline? → What is a healthy urine pH for dogs? → How do you test your dog's urine pH at home? → Which herbs support your dog's bladder and kidneys naturally?
