In this episode, I’m answering a listener's question about gallbladder sludge in dogs—something I’ve been seeing more of lately. Irene wrote in about her Chihuahua's condition and asked for advice, so I dive into what gallbladder sludge is, how it affects digestion, and what you can do to support your dog’s liver and gallbladder health. I also share some of my favorite herbal remedies for thinning bile and improving liver function, like dandelion root, milk thistle, and turmeric. If your dog is struggling with digestive issues or gallbladder concerns, this episode is full of helpful insights and natural solutions to support their overall wellness.

In this episode, we tackle the *controversial* topic of feeding frozen food to your dog. I discuss why consistently feeding very cold or frozen food may not be the best choice for your dog’s digestive health, including how it can put extra strain on the liver, pancreas, and other vital organs. Learn about the impact of frozen food on nutrient absorption, digestive enzymes, and overall wellness, and why warming food to room temperature might be a better option for your furry friend.
