  • Great Podcast!

    I’ve found so much good information from you! Being able to learn the material you cover is such an invaluable resource!

I had to let my 13.5 year old Shih Tzu go to Rainbow Bridge over a year ago because after an ultrasound, the vets determined that even if they operated, his outcome wasn’t likely to be good. Ever since, I’ve wondered what I m... more

    I have learned much listening to these guys.

    Sometimes they turn away from the microphone & it can be hard to hear.

    Otherwise they are smart, funny & educational!

  • 🤔Feline Autoimmune & story

    Not a single episode is devoted to Feline Autoimmune Disease and medicine used to treat it like Prednisone. Also I wanna say it here but after my cat suffered from it, when it came time for vaccinations or certain veterinary medicines to help her get better, and even the shots needed every several years for a new license tag, rabies shots, we can’t get done without her having an episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The feline obesity epidemic
Q: Can you explain why my vet might not consider my cat a candidate for Bexacat after starting insulin?
Once a cat is started on insulin, it cannot be put on Bexacat due to the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, as Bexacat can cause that condition in cats that have previous insulin administration.
A new type of bladder stone linked to human grade diets in dogs
Q: What are your thoughts on human-grade diets for dogs?
Dr. Roger advises caution, particularly highlighting that small male dogs are at higher risk for new bladder stones linked to these diets, and recommends preparing homemade meals instead.
Beware of hidden summer dangers for pets
Q: What questions should I ask a breeder when looking for a puppy?
You should ask about the longevity of their dogs, health certifications like OFA for hips and hearts, and how they ensure the temperament of their puppies.
Beware of spring dangers lurking for pets
Q: What are your thoughts on the leptospirosis vaccine and when to spay a dog?
It is important to vaccinate against leptospirosis as it carries a significant risk. As for spaying, it's advisable to wait until the dog is around 11 months old.
A complete and comprehensive strategy for preventing/treating arthritis in dogs and cats
Q: Would you advise people with certain breeds of dogs who have prophylactic splenectomies with tacking of the stomach to prevent splenic cancers and bloat?
Prophylactic splenic removal may be recommended for certain breeds like Golden Retrievers, but not necessarily for Swissies unless there are specific health indications.
