Join the Amys and their distinguished guest, Julia Albright, DVM, MA, DACVB, and Associate Professor of Veterinary Behavior at University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, as they venture into the dark, dirty, and dangerous back alleys of illicit drug dealing. The unregulated training industry has left the door wide open for unqualified imposters, posing as experts, to deceive pet parents and veterinarians alike. These shady charlatans falsify their education history and credentials, and grant themselves carte blanche to not only make drug recommendations to unsuspecting pet parents, but actually convince veterinary practitioners to prescribe specific psychotropic medications.

Who really has the power to recommend and prescribe medication? How can pet parents and practitioners protect themselves from these unethical and illegal predators?  How do the actual experts feel about these dangerous deceptors? Grab a cocktail, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz during episode 5 of the Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast. Caveat emptor!
