- Common Conditions in Cats and Dogs: A deep dive into diabetes, hypothyroidism, Cushing's, and Addison's disease, including which pets are most at risk for each.
- The Hyperthyroidism Epidemic in Cats: Dr. Greco shares her theory on why this common feline disease might be man-made, pointing the finger at environmental toxins like flame retardants, dryer sheets, and fragrances.
- The Crucial Role of Hydration: Learn why dry food is unnatural for cats and how chronic dehydration can lead to kidney disease. Plus, Dr. Greco introduces an essential hydration supplement that can help.
