In this episode of Raising Happy Dogs, I sit down once again with holistic veterinarian Dr. Jeff Feinman, author of Path to Pet Wellness: The Holistic Vet’s Guide to Thriving Pets and Empowered Pet Parents. Together, we explore a new way of thinking about healing, seeing symptoms not as problems to fix, but as messages from the body and spirit.

Dr. Feinman shares insights on BEAM (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, and Mood) and the Animal-Centered Treatments movement, which brings compassion and consciousness back to pet care.

We also discuss Maya’s story, a fearful shelter puppy who found safety through joy, and introduce Jeff’s Micro-Engagement Plan: a simple two-week rhythm of short, joyful moments that help dogs build trust and resilience.
