  • Learn more here than at vet

    Great show. I’ve learned so much more here about important things that vets just don’t take time to explain, at least not the vets I’ve used in the State’s. I have such a better understanding of things posted here. Thank you for your dedication..

  • Helpful and Concise

    I stumbled across this show while dealing with my senior dog’s myriad of health concerns - slipped disc, arthritis, cataracts (and cataract surgery), a collapsed trachea and cough, and finally a heart murmur. I felt like I was drowning but listening to Dr. Avery’s concise yet thoughtful and actionable episodes helped me get a grasp on the situation. I genuinely appreciate this show.

  • You will appreciate Dr. Alex Avery’s generosity

    I recently discovered this podcast and have been listening while tidying up, driving places and doing outdoor chores. It’s very generous of Dr. Avery to take the time to share his immense knowledge with us. His guests are also well-chosen and impart valuable information. I like how Dr. Avery doesn’t sugar-coat some subjects such as obesity and climate change. He tells it like it is.

  • This guy knows his stuff

    I had Dr. Alex on as a guest recently and after hearing his passion for healthy pets, and learning the wide array of topics he covers here, I've realized that wow this guy know his stuff. He is a one-stop source of knowledge for all things pet related, and as someone well outside the veterinary space, I learned quite a few things from talking with him. Keep up the great work Dr. Alex!
