Our first interview of the New Year! I'm very excited to interview Dr. James Bascharon. Dr. Bascharon is a veterinarian and CEO & Founder of Vetnique. He is the inventor of Glandex®, a patented formulation and the first medication of its kind for pets with anal sac/gland problems.

Anal sac issues are a frequent problem for our pets and can negatively affect the lives of the pet owners. Nobody wants to see their dog scooting or be surprised by that "fishy" smell. This episode goes over the need for anal sac health and introduces a new product by Vetnique to address gut health. Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!
