In this episode, Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker are kicking off National Pet Cancer Prevention Month with board-certified veterinary oncologist Dr. Kendra Pope.

Dr. Pope discusses how much control we truly have to prevent cancer in our pets...it's not JUST a genetic disease. She'll share the steps you can take, including the routine supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes you should be implementing to help reduce their risk.

Throughout the month of November we will have more guest experts joining us to dive into other crucial cancer prevention topics including screening tests you should be doing, herbs, and the potential of CBD in prevention...plus much more!
