120: Longevity Tips for Animals Part II, with Dr. Ruth Roberts


Listen Later

Many people are becoming selective about what gets injected into their bodies, but don’t think twice about having their animals vaccinated. Dr. Ruth Roberts joins me again today to talk about which vaccinations and flea, tick, and heartworm medications are necessary and which are not. She also explains how to incorporate mindfulness into our pet’s daily routine.

Options for environmental control against ticks and fleas:

  • Nematodes that eat the eggs and larvae
  • Borax or diatomaceous earth 
  • Growth regulators that prevent fleas from forming a protective layer
  • Capstar tablets
  • Insect growth regulators to be given orally (Lufenuron) 
  • Amber collars
  • 0BugZone electromagnetic collars 

  • About Dr. Roberts:

    Dr. Ruth Roberts has supported thousands of dogs and cats to overcome health hurdles like kidney disease, GI Illness, allergies, and cancer. Her natural approach to healing creates a gentle yet effective path for your pet to take on their journey to well-being. 

    Dr. Ruth created The Original CrockPet Diet, a balanced home-cooked diet for pets, as the foundation of health. Dr. Ruth will help you to develop a health plan for your pet via e-learning, videos on a range of health topics, and One on One coaching.
