Calling all cat parents: Is your cat sprinting through the house or "terrorizing" your pillows at 2 a.m.? In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson explains the biological truth behind the "midnight zoomies" and why this behavior is actually hardwired into your feline friend. He and his co-host Olivia Sacci dive into the concept of crepuscular behavior—natural activity peaks at dawn and dusk—and how your cat's evolution as a solitary hunter influences their nighttime energy bursts. Dr. Randy shares practical, integrative strategies to help your cat (and you!) get a better night's sleep. Using the "A" for Activity from his signature CATS mnemonic, he discusses the importance of mental stimulation, interactive play like "stalking" your cat, and the strategic timing of meals to reduce hunting instincts. If you're looking for expert veterinary advice on feline behavior and enrichment, this video provides the tools to strengthen the human-animal bond while managing nighttime activity. #CatBehavior #PetWellness #DrRandyPetVet #IntegrativeVet ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!

Dr. Randy Aronson, integrative veterinarian, sits down with Maria Ringo—Doctor of Homeopathy, founder of the pioneering Sojourner Farms, and co-creator of Carna4 natural pet food—for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually means to feed your pet a natural diet. Together they expose why typical kibble and ultra-processed pet food, which makes up a staggering 87% of what our dogs and cats eat, is directly fueling the epidemic of chronic pet illness, dog allergies, skin conditions, pet obesity, and inflammatory disease we're seeing everywhere today. Using the dramatic real-life transformation of Sullie, a seven-year-old dog who reversed years of severe dog allergies, skin infections, and ear infections through diet alone—no medication—Dr. Randy and Maria break down exactly what to look for in natural dog food and cat food, why pet food ingredients matter more than marketing claims, and how whole foods, sprouted seeds, and a healthy pet microbiome can do what prescription diets and steroids couldn't. They also cover raw pet food and raw feeding, freeze-dried and air-dried dog food options, the truth behind the grain-free debate, and why convenience and clean ingredients don't have to be mutually exclusive. If you're a pet parent wondering where to start, this episode gives you a clear, practical, and science-backed answer.  #PetNutrition #NaturalPetFood #DogHealth #IntegrativeVet  ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!

Does your dog constantly sit or lie on your feet the moment you sit down to relax? In this episode of Pause, Reflect, and Heal, Dr. Randy Aronson explains the fascinating psychology behind this common canine behavior. From "anchoring" and social bonding to the surprising way your slow, relaxed breathing helps lower your dog's cortisol levels, he and his cohost dive into why physical contact is so vital for your pet's nervous system and emotional well-being. Dr. Randy and Olivia also share how to distinguish between healthy "protective bonding" and "resource guarding." While most foot-sitting is simply a sign of deep affection and security, there are specific warning signs like growling or snapping that might indicate your dog needs extra training support.  #dogbehavior #holisticvet #petbonding #drrandy #dogtraining #caninehealth ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!

Does your dog turn their nose up at breakfast but devour their dinner? Many pet parents worry when their dog skips a meal, but as Dr. Randy Aronson explains, this behavior is often completely normal and rooted in a dog's natural biological clock. In this episode, we explore why some dogs are simply "not morning eaters" and how they are often better at regulating their hunger than we give them credit for. We also dive into fascinating new data from the Dog Aging Project—a study of 50,000 dogs—which suggests that calorie restriction and intermittent eating patterns can actually lead to a longer, healthier life. However, a sudden shift in appetite pattern can sometimes be a "canary in the coal mine" for underlying health issues. Dr. Randy breaks down the "differential list" every owner should know, from simple acid reflux and "bilious vomiting" to more serious metabolic concerns like kidney, liver, or endocrine issues. Whether your dog is just self-regulating or showing early signs of dental pain, this video will help you understand how to watch for trends and when it's time to consult your integrative veterinarian. #DogNutrition #PetHealth #DrRandyPetVet #DogLongevity #HolisticVet ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!

Is your dog constantly licking or chewing their paws, even when there’s no visible injury? While many pet parents dismiss this behavior as a simple habit or boredom, it is often a sign of underlying inflammation, yeast overgrowth, or even radiating joint and nerve pain. In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson explains why that "corn chip" smell is a major clue for yeast and shares a simple "distraction test" to help you determine if your dog is suffering from a medical compulsion rather than just a behavioral quirk. We dive into the holistic perspective on paw health, moving beyond surface-level symptoms to find the root cause of your pet's discomfort. Beyond physical injuries, we explore the hidden environmental factors affecting our dogs today, including the high levels of glyphosate and weed killers found on common walking paths and golf courses. Dr. Randy discusses how these toxins build up in your dog’s system through their paws and what you can do to mitigate these risks. Whether you're dealing with potential "lick granulomas" or anxious self-soothing behaviors, this video provides the integrative veterinary insights you need to keep your pet comfortable and healthy. #DogHealth #HolisticVet #PawLicking #PetWellness #DrRandyPetVet ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!

Is your dog staring at the wall or a corner every night? In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson, VMD, explores why dogs exhibit this strange behavior and whether they are actually "seeing ghosts" or if there is a deeper biological cause. We dive into the sensory world of dogs—discussing how their superior hearing and scent can detect things humans can’t—and when this behavior might actually be a sign of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (dog dementia) or "Sundowner Syndrome." If you’re a proactive pet parent noticing nighttime restlessness, pacing, or staring in your senior dog, this video will help you understand the root causes and how to support your pet’s brain health. Dr. Randy shares his integrative approach to senior pet care, covering everything from environmental triggers and "nanny cams" to the gut-brain connection and the role of inflammation. You’ll learn about specific holistic recommendations, including the microbiome's impact on behavior and the benefits of C8 MCT oil for cognitive support. We also touch on conventional options like Selegiline to give you a full picture of how to manage cognitive decline. Don't dismiss these subtle changes—investigate them to ensure your pet's golden years are comfortable and vibrant.

Dr. Randy Aronson, a practicing 43-year integrative veterinarian, joins the Two Crazy Cat Ladies to kick off a four-part series based on his CATS framework — Complete Nutrition, Activity, Teeth, and Stress Reduction. In this first episode, he dives deep into why kibble may be one of the biggest drivers of chronic inflammation in cats, breaks down the food hierarchy from fresh whole food to freeze-dried and air-dried options, and explains why AAFCO standards simply aren't enough. He also reveals why small bowel lymphoma is on the rise, which proteins to avoid for cats with inflammatory disease, and how to read a cat food label like a pro. The conversation goes further into the gut microbiome — what it is, why it matters, and how tools like AnimalBiome testing and fecal microbiome transfer (FMT) can reverse conditions like IBD, chronic skin disease, and even behavioral issues in cats. Dr. Randy also covers kidney disease nutrition (and why he doesn't use prescription diets), the danger of over-vaccination, VDI Labs' advanced diagnostic blood tests, and simple at-home steps like goat kefir and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics. If you want to give your cat a longer, healthier life — this episode is your starting point. #CatNutrition #IntegrativeVet #CatHealth ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!

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. #PetHealth #DogDentalCare #HolisticVet #Microbiome #TEEF #IntegrativeMedicine Links TEEF: https://teefhealth.com/ ---------- Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!
