Anti-Pathogenic, Not Antibiotic: Greg Tilford on Herbal Medicine for Pets
Episode 267
Tuesday, 15 September, 2026
Herbs aren't a weaker version of medicine — they're a different paradigm entirely, and almost nobody explains that better than Greg Tilford. As one of the most respected voices in veterinary herbalism, author of multiple books on the subject, and a driving force behind bringing herbal medicine into mainstream animal care, Greg joins The Pet Parenting Reset to talk about what it actually means for an herb to be anti-pathogenic — working with the body's own terrain to make it inhospitable to illness, rather than carpet-bombing everything the way antibiotics do.We get into how domestication and modern pet life cut dogs and cats off from the plant-seeking instincts their wild ancestors relied on constantly, why whole-plant complexity often outperforms isolated compounds, and how to start building a basic herbal toolkit at home before you actually need one. Greg's approach is rooted in ecology as much as biology — herbalism not just as medicine, but as a relationship with the land itself.If you've ever wondered whether there's a middle ground between "do nothing" and "reach for a prescription," this episode is that middle ground.🐶 🐱 Nutrition & Holistic Health Consults: https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/collections/consultations 🐶 Get to the root cause with the Wild Wellness Bioenergetics at-home testing kit: https://www.wildwellnesspet.com/products/bioenergetic-sensitivity-testing-for-dogs-full-scan-wild-wellness-powered-by-pet-medella 💛 Follow The Pet Parenting Reset on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thepetparentingreset/🤍 Follow Wild Wellness Pet on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildwellnesspet/📩 Get email notifications for new episodes: https://jessicalfisher.kartra.com/page/tpprnotify
