Did you ever wonder why the Environmental Protection Agency, rather than the Food and Drug Administration, regulates flea and tick products applied to cats and dogs? The EPA overseas all pesticides sold in the United States and bears responsibility for ensuring that these noxious agents "do not cause unreasonable risks when they are used according to label directions and precautions”. Are you okay with that? Listen to why there might still be concerns about the safety of insect poisons for your cat, your dog, and maybe even yourself.

In this discussion, Narda G. Robinson, DO, DVM, MS, FAAMA and Nancy Bureau, DVM, cVMA, CCRP, consider differential diagnoses for inappetence in small animals. Dr. Robinson, the CEO and Founder of CuraCore VET and CuraCore MED, provides science-based instruction in integrative medicine and rehabilitation. Dr. Bureau runs Left Hand Animal Hospital in Niwot, CO, as co-owner, medical acupuncturist, and veterinary rehabilitator. She also teaches in Dr. Robinson's Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians program. Together, Drs. Robinson and Bureau seek to elevate standards of care in veterinary medicine. Here, they discourse on various etiologies of anorexia / inappetence in dogs and cats in order to remind veterinarians to look at the causes of disorders in animals rather than rush to treatments that miss the mark.
