On this episode of B’s and Queens with Caitlin Palmer, we meet Dr. Andrew Knight of the University of Winchester.

Dr. Andrew led a survey study of more than 2,500 dogs to explore links between dog diet and health outcomes, suggesting that nutritionally sound vegan diets may be healthier and less hazardous than conventional or raw meat-based diets.

Behavioral issues are the #1 reason why dogs end up in shelters. According to the ASPCA approximately 3.1 million dogs are surrendered or placed in U.S. animal shelters every year. Even more worrisome? Thousands never get adopted. 

But there is good news!

We  can quite literally save the life of a dog with proper training and care. We simply must learn to listen to our dogs, communicate effectively, correct bad behaviors, and respond appropriately. With a little love and lots of patience, almost all issues can be overcome. On this episode of B’s and Queens with Caitlin Palmer, we meet Dr. Vanessa Spano, who’s a veterinary behavioralist. Dr. Vanessa provides veterinary support for the ASPCA adoption animals and victims of animal cruelty and hoarding.

Ever wonder what would happen to your pet if the unimaginable happened?  Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, and other pets are left home alone and afraid, to starve when their pet owners aren’t able to make it home because of unforeseen events or accidents. That’s what went through Janice Cobb’s mind when she unexpectedly ended up in a hospital instead of coming home to care for her cats.  

On this episode, we meet former ballerina, inventor, and cat lover, Janice Cobb, and learn about her very interesting life and why she wanted to keep pets safe. Janice is the creator of Zizie Pie “Save My Pet ID Tag.” Zinzie Pie has a line of stylish necklaces, keychains and bracelets, worn by the pet owners themselves, that can be custom engraved with your pets information as well as an emergency contact.

On this episode of B’s and Queens with host, Caitlin Palmer, we meet the Divergent Vet, Dr. Lisa Fox.  Dr. Lisa is a little different than your average vet, she focuses completely on holistic medicine like  acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, reiki, Chinese veterinary food therapy, iridology, aromatherapy, and much more.  Dr. Lisa tells us all about the natural side of medicine and why its popularity is increasing by leaps and bounds!

On this episode of B’s and Queens with Caitlin Palmer, we meet Dr. Evan Antin.  While most people may recognize the local vet that takes care of their pets, chances are there are few vets that are recognized outside of their community. Dr. Evan Antin is one of the few vets that may actually be familiar to most of the population. He has more than a million followers on social media, where he shares his work with animals ranging from baby rhinoceros to tiny puppies, and is PEOPLE magazine’s Pet Vet.

On this episode of B’s and Queens, Caitlin Palmer meets Tok Tok star, Dr. Matt McGlasson. 

Nearly everyone has a regret at some point during their career, but for Dr. Matt McGlasson, that regret was at one point his entire career. After a year of slogging through one of the worst (and first) job experiences of his life, he found himself questioning whether all his years in medical school were a waste.

Luckily, Dr. Matt’s story doesn’t end with his new career as a singer/songwriter, but instead with the changes he made to his career to make it worthwhile. With the support of his wife, Matt chose to change how he handled the world of veterinary medicine, and it helped his career in so many different ways, one of those ways is entertaining cat lovers with his fun loving cat themed content on social media.
