John Crissy: How to Keep Your Dog Healthy (Before the Vet Bills Start) | E70
Melissa interviews John Chrissy, a three-time founder building Perpetual, a diagnostic-driven preventative dog healthcare system aimed at catching issues early. Perpetual’s core tool is a fur tissue mineral analysis, described as a 120-day “biological time capsule” that can detect issues and toxins (including high mercury) earlier and at smaller levels than blood tests. Results return in ~48 hours via an app with diet, exercise, and supplement protocols, including metabolic-type-based feeding guidance. John shares a case where seizures were linked to plug-in fragrances and improved after environmental changes and detox.

Peter Campione: Dog with Special Needs: Challenges, Triumphs, and Transformations | E69
Dog trainer and behaviorist Peter Campione, owner of Kindred Soul’s Canine Training Center, joins host Melissa Viera to discuss training all dogs—especially those with special needs such as deafness, blindness, fear, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma—through individualized communication rather than one-size-fits-all methods. He shares his path from rescue work and apprenticeships to becoming known for taking cases other trainers refuse, emphasizing that methodology is secondary to trust and clear communication that varies by breed and individual dog.

Jaime Nieves: Grieving a Cat? How to Cope, Heal, and Honor Their Memory| E68
In this Pet Care Report episode, Dr. Meghan interviews Jaime Nieves (“The Creature Preacher”), an ordained United Methodist pastor, author, and animal advocate, about grieving cats and how to cope, heal, and honor their memory. Jaime shares lessons cats teach—self-care through grooming and rest, savoring simple pleasures, curiosity, and focus—drawing from her experience with two blind cats. They discuss guiding children through pet loss with honest, age-appropriate conversations; encouraging feelings; sharing stories, photos, and drawings; and using the Rainbow Bridge concept for comfort. Jaime addresses “disenfranchised grief” and affirms that pet grief is real, suggesting celebration-of-life rituals, memorials, cremation or ash scattering, and involving children in end-of-life planning, including euthanasia decisions.
