Unleashed Curiosity: Dog & Cat Health, Nutrition & Vet Advice by Vital Pet Life

Join Donie Yamamoto, Dr. Amber Da Silva, DVM, and certified EFT practitioner and trainer Amy Piper as they explore EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as "Tapping." Amy shares how tapping on key acupuncture points may help create calm and ease emotional tension - not just for people, but for pets too.

This episode covers how EFT may support pet parents navigating pet health concerns, behavioral challenges, or the aging process - and how your own emotional state can influence your pet's behavior. Whether you're curious or skeptical, you'll come away with practical tips to try at home for both yourself and your furry friend. Tune in for a conversation on emotional regulation, calm, and the connection between you and your pet. 🐾 #EFTForPets #TappingTechnique #AmyPiper #PetEmotionalHealth #DrAmberDVM
