What happens when “Dr. Google” meets ChatGPT in the vet’s office? In this episode, I sit down with veterinary leader and neuro-inclusive coach Ron Sosa to unpack how artificial intelligence is already reshaping the way pet parents seek answers about their pets’ health. Instead of fighting against it, what if vets helped pet parents to ask their Chat GPT better questions? Ron and I dive into what this shift means for pet parents: from how to prompt ChatGPT so you get helpful (not panic-inducing) answers, to why keeping simple notes on your AI tool at home can make all the difference, to how sharing what’s been “ruled out” can completely change the way you and your vet move forward together. This is a conversation about embracing technology without losing the human touch. If you’ve ever wondered how AI could help you become a more empowered, confident advocate for your pet’s health, this episode is for you.

KEY INSIGHTS:

✨ Why ChatGPT is quickly becoming the new “Dr. Google” for pet parents.

✨ How asking clear, detailed prompts (age, breed, sex, symptoms, timing) leads to more accurate answers.

✨ Why vague questions like “why is my dog vomiting?” often bring up scary, unhelpful results.

✨ How AI can save time in the exam room by preparing pet parents with background info.

✨ Why your vet may not know every answer in the moment and why that’s okay.

✨ How AI can lighten the education load so vets have more time for hands-on healing.

✨ How journaling with AI could one day help diagnose conditions like Addison’s more accurately.

✨ How misusing AI for DIY treatments or dosing can be risky, and why your vet must stay involved.

✨ Why future care may depend less on having every answer and more on asking better questions.

✨ And how embracing AI as part of the care team helps both pets and people.
