Episode 23. Peter Ciancarelli of Allie’s Canine Crew

Peter is a Dog Dad Extraordinaire! When Peter’s dog Allie was struggling with health issues, he had a difficult time getting the right answers for her – even a veterinary college’s animal hospital couldn’t help.  So Peter then started seeking out holistic veterinary practitioners and began working Dr. Margo Roman – one of the pioneers of gut microbiome research in pets – who was able to help Allie begin to thrive. Peter created the Facebook Allie’s Canine Crew to share all that he was learning and doing to help Allie. Allie’s Canine Crew has grown to 5,000+ pet parents who are all trying to make the best health decisions for their dogs.

Warning: Poop talk ahead!

 

Peter & I discuss:

  • His childhood experiences with dogs and how Allie came to be “his” dog;

  • How Peter started dog (and people) training as he helped Allie with behavioral issues;

  • Some of the hard times Allie has gotten Peter through;

  • Allie’s health issues and all the places he tried to get help for her;

  • How Peter found Dr. Margo Roman;

  • Fecal Microbiome Transplants and Microbiome Restorative Therapy for dogs;

  • Factors that can negatively impact your dog’s gut microbiome;

  • The most important change you can make to help your dog’s gut microbiome;

  • How to build your pet’s wellness team;

  • Allie’s current health challenges; and

  • Giving ourselves permission to look “outside the box” and find a vet or practitioner with more tools in the toolbox to help our dogs
