How Over-Vaccination Affects Our Pets with Dr. Jeff Grognet
In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, Dr. Jeff Grognet joins us to shine a light on the hidden risks of over-vaccinating our pets. Together, we explore what many conventional vets don’t talk about—how certain vaccine ingredients can accumulate in the body, why adverse reactions are underreported, and what vaccine-related conditions often get dismissed or misdiagnosed.

With over 40 years of experience in both conventional and holistic veterinary medicine, Dr. Jeff shares empowering insights to help pet parents make safer, more informed choices.

About Dr. Jeff Grognet
As a child, I grew up surrounded by pets and horses. I
developed a love for animals and that defined my career goal.
After seven years of university, I became a Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine in 1983. My first job – practicing medicine in a companion animal hospital
specializing in dogs, cats, and a few exotics. On the side, I
dabbled in livestock (cows, pigs, sheep) and horses.
After 12 years, my wife (also a veterinarian) and I decided to open up our own practice. It was a dream come true when we opened the doors of our own practice for dogs and cats in 1995. Although we practice traditional medicine, I’ve also done acupuncture, chiropractic, and even low-level laser therapy. I’ve been teaching and writing about topics in veterinary medicine by being a contributor to many magazines.
My teaching career began over 35 years ago, with a simple first aid class. Then a local college asked me to develop a veterinary receptionist and assistant program. It was a hit and became the inspiration for my online veterinary assistant courses. Now, over 42,000 students have taken my veterinary assistant courses for personal enrichment and for career advancement. My focus is now on holistic courses, emphasizing an approach that is natural and non-toxic. These courses are designed for pet owners but also for people working in the pet industry.
