Animal Wellness Vets

Meet Dr Elaine Sebulak and vet nurse Oceana from Animal Wellness, a holistic veterinary clinic where modern medicine meets natural therapies.

In this episode, Oceana shares her journey from leaving school early to follow her passion for animals, to studying and working as a vet nurse in training. Growing up surrounded by pets, camping on farms, and being around horses, cows, sheep and more, she always knew she wanted a career caring for animals.

Dr Elaine then opens the door to some of the most interesting and advanced treatments they use in the clinic, including:

• High-dose IV Vitamin C for cancer and sepsis (Riordan protocol–inspired), and why it can help dogs and other animals feel better and live longer
• Specialised veterinary dentistry – how hidden dental disease, broken teeth and periodontal issues can cause pain, heart, kidney and liver problems, and what proper dental X‑rays can reveal
• Acupuncture, massage and homeopathy for mobility, pain relief and nerve injuries – including cases where paralyzed pets walk out after treatment
• Axel therapy mats and laser therapy – advanced tools that support recovery, reduce pain and improve performance for pets, including show dogs and breeding animals
• Underwater treadmill rehab and why structured physical therapy matters so much for long‑term health

If you're a pet parent, vet nurse student, or animal lover interested in holistic veterinary care, integrative cancer support, pet dentistry, and cutting‑edge rehab therapies, this conversation will give you a hopeful, behind‑the‑scenes look at what's possible.

👉 Listen now to hear Oceana's story and discover how holistic vet care can transform your pet's health and quality of life.

In this episode, Dr Barbara Wilson shares over five decades of veterinary experience and her passion for integrative medicine. We explore how combining traditional treatments with holistic approaches such as balanced nutrition, preventative therapies, herbal medicine, and owner education can transform outcomes for animals. Dr Wilson highlights why a team-based model, ongoing care beyond the clinic, and strong communication between vets and pet owners are essential to fill the gaps in modern veterinary practice.

From nutrition and behaviour to collaboration and community support, this conversation reveals practical ways veterinarians and pet owners can create long-term wellbeing for animals. Whether you're a practitioner, a student, or a dedicated pet parent, you'll gain insights into how integrative veterinary medicine is shaping the future of animal care.

Aequus the greyhound has been by our side for years, and his story is a testament to the power of holistic, long-term veterinary care. If you've ever wondered what consistency, compassion, and integrative medicine can really do for a dog's life, this quiet success story says it all.

Discover how animals communicate far beyond what we imagine. In this episode, animal communicator Anne Bourke shares heartwarming stories about telepathic connections, distance healing, spirit visits, and even how animals reincarnate and find their way back to us. Whether you've ever wondered about your pet's behavior, felt their presence after passing, or are curious about animal souls, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new world of understanding.
