80. Finding a Lump on Your Dog with Dr. PJ Broadfoot
Lumps, bumps, or tumors are often a normal part of aging for dogs, so it can be difficult to know when one is serious. In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, we’re joined by Dr. PJ Broadfoot, integrative veterinarian of 40 years, who advocates for natural medicine, and believes if you give the body the right tools, it can take care of the bulk of problems by itself. Angela and Dr. Broadfoot share their perspective on the variety of holistic remedies that can help dogs experience pain relief, longer life, and often better health outcomes than conventional treatments. They also discuss what to do if you find a lump, bump or tumor on your dog, and some common signs that indicate a tumor might need to be removed.
