Healing Tails

The Healing Gap: Why Holistic Care Is Facing New Challenges and How We Can Adapt


Listen Later

In this deeply insightful episode of Healing Tails, Dr. Ruth Roberts is joined by renowned holistic veterinarian Dr. Odette Suter to unpack the widening gap in holistic veterinary care. As chronic illness in pets becomes more complex, Dr. Suter shares why outdated approaches—even within holistic medicine—are failing, and what needs to shift for true healing to take place.


From symptom-chasing to spiritual growth, they dive into the root causes of illness, the need for deeper knowledge and support, and how pet parents can begin to navigate overwhelm with compassion. If you're feeling frustrated by "trying everything" and getting nowhere, this episode is a must-listen.


Topics covered include:

  • Why symptom-based care (even with herbs and supplements) is falling short
  • The hidden impact of environmental toxicity and hormone imbalance
  • How deeper self-examination ties into your pet’s healing journey
  • What "integrative" really means—and why sometimes pharmaceuticals are necessary
  • Practical advice for pet parents navigating guilt and overwhelm

Resources mentioned:

  • Dr. Odette Suter’s book: What Your Vet Never Told You (available on Amazon)
  • Pet Health Accelerator Program & Masterclass
