So You Want to Run a Dog Rescue

17: On Corporatization of Vet Care with Dr. Mona Radeshar (Part 1) Plus Much More!


Listen Later

​​​In this episode, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh feature Dr. Mona Radeshwar, former owner of Third & Stewart Animal Wellness and their esteemed veterinarian partner, who discusses the trend of corporate ownership on veterinary care and its implications for pets, their owners and veterinarians alike. They reflect on memorable cases such as Seamus the Doberman, who required a life-saving Intussusception surgery, Jorah the Bully, who had a rare fungal infection, and Diana the terrier mix who suffered from thermal burns due to veterinary negligence. The episode also touches on day-to-day rescue challenges, including a chaotic dog intake and frustrating owner surrender cases. The 'Crazy Folder' and 'Shit List' segments highlight particularly challenging interactions with adopters like Kourtney who - with her "20 years of experience" - didn't consider using a leash on 4-month-old puppy Sabrina.

Stick around after the outro for some episode bloopers!
