March 23, 2026The "Underwater" Secret to Fixing Dog Knee Injuries
In this episode, integrative veterinarian Dr. Randy Aronson explains how rehabilitation and the "whole picture" approach can successfully treat CCL tears (cranial cruciate ligament) in dogs and cats. For proactive pet parents facing a potential surgical diagnosis, understanding these non-invasive recovery options—including underwater treadmills and cold laser therapy—is the first step toward restoring your pet’s mobility without the standard 12-week surgical downtime.
Dr. Randy breaks down the science of "nerve memory" and why reducing systemic inflammation through nutrition and targeted supplements like Myos Canine is critical for ligament repair. From Class IV lasers and PEMF therapy to regenerative options like PRP and Shockwave, this guide covers the integrative tools used at PAWS Veterinary Center to help pets heal faster. You'll also learn why common NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs)) might actually hinder the scarring process needed for joint stabilization and which holistic alternatives Dr. Randy recommends instead.

March 19, 2026Stop Brushing Your Pet's Teeth? Microbiologist Reveals What Actually Works | Dr. Emily Stein
In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson welcomes microbiologist Dr. Emily Stein to discuss the critical link between the oral microbiome and overall pet health. Many pet parents are unaware that dental disease is a primary driver of chronic inflammation, affecting everything from the immune system to kidney function in dogs and cats. We explore why traditional brushing often fails and how "oral dysbiosis" can lead to serious systemic issues like heart disease and strokes.
Dr. Stein shares her journey from "biohacking" her grandmother’s health to developing microbiome modulatory technology for animals. They discuss the "One Health" concept, the hidden dangers of common household remedies like apple cider vinegar on tooth enamel, and the benefits of a "keto diet" for oral bacteria. You’ll learn about PROtektin (TEEF), a revolutionary water additive that feeds beneficial microbes to crowd out harmful, inflammation-causing bacteria. Whether you're dealing with a senior dog with calculus buildup or a cat with severe stomatitis, this conversation offers a roadmap for avoiding whole-mouth extractions and maintaining your pet's teeth for life.

January 21, 2026The Truth About Feral Cats: Why TNR Is the Only Solution
In this episode of Pause, Reflect, and Heal, Dr. Randy Aronson sits down with animal welfare advocate Stacy LeBaron, founder of the Community Cats Podcast, to discuss the quiet crisis facing feral and community cats. With over 40 years of experience as an integrative veterinarian, Dr. Randy explores why Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the only proven, humane method for managing cat overpopulation and improving feline welfare. You’ll learn staggering statistics about feral cat survival rates, the "vacuum effect" of traditional animal control, and how these cats act as vital connectors within our local neighborhoods, bringing neighbors together through a shared sense of purpose and compassion.
Beyond the basics of TNR, we dive deep into the essential role of veterinary care, including the importance of rabies vaccinations, microchipping, and the "ear tip" identification system. Stacy shares inspiring stories from her decades of advocacy, while Dr. Randy offers integrative health tips—from immune-boosting mushroom supplements to high-quality nutrition—to support the health of outdoor colonies. Whether you are a dedicated colony caretaker or a concerned pet parent, this conversation provides actionable insights into feline leukemia (FeLV) management, the "fixed by five" movement, and how you can turn your passion for cats into meaningful community action.
