Episode 39 - Yeast-Based Probiotic Supplements for Brood Bitches: When They Make Sense and When They Don't

1/20/2026

0 Comments

One of our fans wrote to me recently about a webinar she attended on the veterinary use of probiotics:

“The thing that intrigued me was… a study where one group of pregnant bitches was on a yeast-based probiotic, and the control group on no probiotic. There were benefits to both bitches and puppies, such as more stable GI tract and stool quality during whelping in the mothers on the probiotic, and they were less likely to have puppies of low birth weight.

I know Jane works a lot at supporting the gut biome, but interesting info about a specific yeast and a specific time."

Episode 38 - Puppies Who Demand Bark: Why Puppy Owners Fail and How We Can Help Them Succeed

This episode is a fan request:

"Looking for a podcast - My co-owner needs help. I’ve worked with them on training behaviors, and they’ve done a masterful job at teaching puppy (who’s about 3 months old now…) that barking gets attention. They wait until they just can’t take it anymore but then cave in just as extinction burst really ramps up.

Is there a podcast that will guide them through navigating this? To be fair, one of them works nights and NEEDS their sleep!

I can understand how they got here. But just like parenting- pay now or pay later, and this one is gonna sting! They do have PC curriculum- I told them to start looking through it again."
