This is the question that opens the door to a completely different conversation with your veterinarian:
“What could be contributing to my dog’s or cat’s issue, and what options do we have beyond symptom control?”
Instead of focusing only on what’s showing up (itching, vomiting, anxiety, pain), it invites your veterinarian to look at why it’s happening.
It encourages exploration of:
• diet and food sensitivities
• gut and microbiome health
• stress, routine, and environment
• chronic inflammation or pain
• toxin exposure
• past medications or repeated antibiotics
• lifestyle factors like movement and enrichment
And it shifts the treatment discussion from:
👉 “How do we stop this?”
to
👉 “How do we support the body so this doesn’t keep happening?”
Being a good pet parent isn’t about asking more questions. It’s about asking better ones.
👇 Save this for your next vet visit, and don’t be afraid to ask it.
