Dr. Judy welcomes Dr. Ruth Roberts to the show, examining the health tradeoffs of routine spay and neuter, especially early sterilization, and argue that preserving endocrine function may reduce chronic disease risk in dogs. They link the rise in chronic disease after roughly 2000 to multiple factors, with sterilization presented as one important contributor alongside food quality, vaccines, and environmental toxins. The study results or overwhelming!
So, what is Spay-Neuter Syndrome? Early spay/neuter can be linked to obesity, cruciate rupture, hip and elbow degeneration, allergies, IVDD, arthritis, Cushing’s disease, thyroid dysfunction, pancreatitis, diabetes, and some cancers including hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and prostate cancer.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #2
Here's something most dog owners don't know: dogs cannot produce EPA and DHA on their own. These essential omega-3 fatty acids must come from their diet, and without enough of them, the effects show up in ways we often mistake for just getting older: a dull coat, stiff joints, brain fog, low energy-these are not inevitable. They're often signs of a nutritional gap that can be filled. Feel Good Omega was created by Dr. Peter Dobias to do exactly that. Made from pure wild squid oil, sustainably harvested, made in Norway, and Friend of the Sea certified, it delivers the highest quality EPA and DHA in their most bioavailable form, microfiltered, lab tested, protected against rancidity by nitrogen, and bottled in glass. It also comes with a lifetime money back guarantee. Head to peterDobias.com and use code DRJUDY10 for 10% off. Your dog deserves to feel good.
