Why are so many pet parents and veterinarians feeling frustrated with standard, conventional care? In this episode, Angela Ardolino sits down with Dr. Jeannette Bimonte—known as "The Non-Traditional Veterinarian"—to discuss the systemic flaws in modern veterinary medicine and how to restore health from the inside out. Drawing from her experience practicing relief work across more than 100 veterinary hospitals, Dr. Bimonte explains the burnout clinicians face, why over-vaccinating sick or geriatric pets does more harm than good, and how meeting pet parents where they are with nutrition can dramatically improve outcomes. Together, Angela and Dr. Bimonte explore practical ways to detox the home, support the immune system, and eliminate perfectionism in pet care.
