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.
