This week here at the Thriving Dog PAWcast we will be guiding you through the world of flower essences with Dr. Josie Beug.

Dr. Josie is a holistic veterinarian with 20 years of practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine and Animal Reiki. She is also the owner of 5 Element Animal Wellness where she shares her knowledge with all of us lucky enough to call ourselves pet parents. 

We go full spectrum starting with traditional medicine and going down the rabbit hole of energy healing. But no worries, you know here at the PAWcast we're all about science-backed approaches to health!

New to the world of holistic medicine? Make sure to stick around for the end where Dr. Josie walks us through some beginner steps to transition your dog to a HOLISTIC dog!
