Hey friends! This week on the pod, we’re taking you inside the AVMA with none other than Dr. Gary Marshall! That’s right—we packed our bags, hit the road, and traveled to the AVMA Convention to sit down with one of the most beloved names in veterinary medicine. From what the AVMA actually does (besides sounding impressive) to how they advocate for the entire vet community, we’re breaking it all down. Plus, Dr. Marshall shares what it’s like running a feline-only practice, his hot takes on pet insurance, and the one cat patient that stole his heart.

Hey friends! This week on the pod, we’re diving into some of the lesser-talked-about—but super important—topics in pet health. From the wobbly world of vestibular syndrome (is it a stroke? Is it an ear infection?) to a real-life fungal mystery case of histoplasmosis. And don’t worry, we’re not skipping the spicy stuff—yep, we’re talking hooded vulvas and why they matter more than you think. It’s an episode full of “Wait, what?!” moments, so grab some Tazo tea and settle in!

Hey friends! This week on the pod, we’re diving into one of the most common orthopedic issues in dogs—cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears. We’re talking everything from what makes some dogs more prone to this injury, to the signs you’ll notice if it happens, and what your treatment options really are. We even kick things off with a spicy hot take (spoiler: flea prevention doesn’t protect ligaments).

Hey friends! This week on the pod, I’m diving into all things thyroid—what it does, what happens when it goes wrong, and how we treat it in both dogs and cats. I also share a hot take on why not all veterinary opinions are created equally (yep, I said it 😅). We’ll talk about hypothyroidism in dogs, hyperthyroidism in cats, the signs to look for, treatment options like methimazole and radioactive iodine therapy, and even what happens when kidney values get involved. Whether you’ve got a senior cat or a sluggish dog, this one’s for you.

Hey friends! Between this week's topic and the drama with my chickens... we have lots to discuss. This week we're talking all about spaying and neutering your dog, from tiny puppies to giant breeds, and how making the right call can seriously impact your pet’s long-term health. Additionally, we’ll chat about breed-specific risks like mammary cancer, why I approach spay/neuter differently for every pet, and what to think about when it comes to cats, too. If you’ve ever wondered when the “right time” really is—or just want to feel more confident about the decision—this one’s for you.
