Hello and

welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast I'm Katie from wellness mama.com and this conversation is a second with Dr. Ruth Roberts

who is a holistically minded veterinarian who now is on a mission to help pet owners have access to better health solutions for their pets in the form of knowledge about what they feed their pets, even supplements, lifestyle choices, and all of the things we talk about for humans, but for our pets as well.

And in this episode, we talk about why good veterinary care is so hard to get these days and so expensive and what to do about it. But in short

it's no secret that pet care seems more expensive these days and this is

changing unfortunately not for the better. so a lot of things to consider in this

conversation as well as some amazing resources for us as pet owners to be able to provide our

pets with better options and Dr Ruth is such a voice in this space. She is a veterinarian who also now

certifies people as holistic pet health coaches to be able to mitigate some of the issues that

pet owners face even when they cannot get into

veterinary care or when the solution might require lifestyle or dietary changes that a vet may not have time to go over

with them. She's definitely an incredible wealth of knowledge

on this topic and such an important voice in this space.

So I'm glad we get to chat with her today.

Let's join Dr. Ruth,. Dr. Ruth, welcome back.

Hey, thanks, Katie, glad to be here.

That was a lot of fun the last time.

Yes, I'll make sure I link to our first conversation.

I definitely learned a lot about ways I could be

feeding my pets different. Many of the same topics I talk about for human health and

wellness and how they apply to pets and I think areas many of us have not considered so I

will link to that if you haven't heard it
