AI is everywhere, and we are starting to see it in vet med.

On this episode, Dr. Sam and Dr. Robert discuss AI in veterinary medicine. Dr. Robert was just in Kansas City for the Veterinary Innovation Summit, which is a unique conference that offers a look into the future of veterinary medicine. While he was there he learned all about what is coming to vet med to improve both the quality of medicine for owners and pets, as well as the quality of life of the veterinarians. So, join us and listen as he shares what he learned!

On this episode of Pawsit, Dr. Sam and Dr. Robert talk about specialists. Often, people expect that their veterinarian will know absolutely everything about what is going on with their pet. While we strive to know as much as possible, we often need to enlist the help of specialists. In veterinary medicine, just like in human medicine, there are doctors that have specialized training to deal with the more complicated and rare conditions we see in our patients. People are often surprised by this, but they are a great resource for consultations and referrals. So take a listen and learn why our specialists are so special!

Do you ever wish your vet would come to you?

On today's episode Dr. Robert and Dr. Sam discuss the return of the house call. While we still see large and mixed animal veterinarians making house calls, it is rare to see your small animal veterinarian making a house call. This is starting to change. Small animal mobile veterinary services are becoming more common. This can really benefit cat owners, owners and pets with mobility problems, as well as busy pet owners struggling to get to the vet. There is such potential to expand access to care! Take a listen to hear what may become available for your pet!
