In part one of this episode, Dr. Seth Bynum joins colleague and mentor Dr. Michelle Kutzler of Oregon State University to discuss the background of the pervasive "early spay and neuter" recommendation and why this medical philosophy still persists among many veterinarians despite a growing body of evidence that it may not be the healthiest option for sporting dogs.

In this episode, Dr. Bynum joins colleague Dr. Joe Wakshlag to discuss CBD use in canine athletes. There are numerous sources of CBD on the market for humans and animals, and choosing a safe and efficacious product often confusing and occasionally daunting.

In this episode, Dr. Bynum sits down with Dr. Clair Maples, founder of Paradigm Sporting Dog first aid kits.

Dr. Maples is an avid hunter and amateur dog trainer with (now) two NAVHDA Versatile Champion titles under her belt.

Her first aid kits are also the best assembled and resourced on the market, in our opinion.

We walk through the contents of her comprehensive truck kit, discussing in detail what's inside (and why), with tips from Dr. Maples on how to use the contents.

In this episode, Dr. Bynum sits down with his friend and colleague Dr. RuthAnn Lobos CCRT CVAT (@petvetruthann)

Whether you think acupuncture is pure woo or hard science (hint, it's neither), it's hard to ignore the nearly 5,000 years of results seen in this ancient practice.

Dr. Lobos shares how acupuncture is believed to work from both traditional and western medicine perspectives. She'll also share anecdotes from practice that emphasize how acupuncture can provide sporting dog owners with an adjunct treatment option for pain or anxiety.

When she's not in the clinic, Dr. Lobos is an avid wingshooter and loves spending time hunting or running with her canine athletes Finn (Lab) and Journey (WPG).

In this episode, Dr. Bynum chats with Dr. Cynthia Otto, founder of the ⁠Penn Vet Working Dog Center⁠.

Dr. Otto is a board certified specialist in both Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation as well as Emergency and Critical Care, making her uniquely qualified to weigh in on the challenges faced by canine athletes in hot weather.

Her recent research compares the efficacy of common in-field cooling techniques, with a surprising edge to the ⁠head dunking technique⁠ they initially trained for cleaning dogs' upper airway.

With early season hunting on our minds, we also rank other common field cooling strategies from most to least effective based on her team's research.
