Episode Summary

Dr. Ruth Roberts launched this podcast with one simple yet powerful intention: to create space for balance in a world full of conflicting opinions—especially in holistic pet health. She noticed that today’s conversations often swing to extremes. It’s either all-natural or all-conventional, with very little room in between. But in her decades of experience, Dr. Ruth has found that the most sustainable solutions often come from the middle path—a thoughtful blend of both worlds.

Through this podcast, she invites pet parents to pause, reflect, and ask: Does this make sense for my dog or cat? Can I incorporate this into what I’m already doing to support their well-being?

Because for Dr. Ruth, the goal is simple: to guide others in finding that middle way—where natural and conventional care meet in harmony for the health of the animals we love.
