  • My favorite veterinary podcast

    If you are in vet med, this show is a must for your Wednesday morning commute. They really do go over the tough topics and dissect the current issues at hand. What I love the most? They are very big advocates for title protection. I can’t think of any other tech that has our professions back like Becky!

  • A really helpful and interesting podcast! I'm a Finnish veterinarian, and only found out about this recently, attending the virtual BSAVA congress and listening to Dr Ward's inspiring lecture. Thank you for this, it's like having a support group with me during long work drives! I haven't had a chance to go through the whole backlog of episodes, but if you haven't done one on the specific stresses of doing on call work, and especially how to deal with it, that would be great!

  • So insightful!

    I love this podcast and the insightful content. I just listened to the Is your Veterinary Practice a Good Neighbor episode and I loved how they got me thinking about a number of things regarding being neighborly that I don’t think about often. I love getting to hear their ideas and thoughts on a variety of topics relevant to my personal life and veterinary career.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Same Pet, Different Calorie Needs: Feeding After Spay or Neuter to Prevent Pet Obesity
Q: Why is it important to adjust nutrition immediately after spay or neuter?
Because sterilization disrupts hormones that regulate appetite, energy balance often shifts, leading to increased intake and reduced activity; early, practical feeding adjustments can prevent obesity and support mobility.
Pride Month Is a Start. Allyship Is Year-Round.
Q: What does PrideVMC do in VetMed and how can clinics implement inclusive practices?
She explains PrideVMC's mission to build community, mentorship, and resources for both LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, and outlines practical, low-cost steps for clinics to adopt—such as updating intake forms, normalizing pronouns, and ensuring psychological safety.
Pride Month Is a Start. Allyship Is Year-Round.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and how you got to PrideVMC.
Stephanie describes her lifelong connection to the LGBTQ+ community, her background in sex education, and the path that led her to veterinary medicine and ultimately to PrideVMC, highlighting her commitment to visibility, community, and leadership opportunities for LGBTQ+ professionals.
Why “Love Languages” Aren’t a Workplace Strategy
Q: How should managers approach appreciation if surveys aren't reliable predictors of outcomes?
Managers should focus on noticing daily moments, acting with intentionality, and repairing when needed, using a flexible, individualized approach rather than a rigid survey-driven method.
Why “Love Languages” Aren’t a Workplace Strategy
Q: What is the core distinction between love languages as a concept and their practical application in the workplace?
While love languages can describe personal preferences, they should not be treated as the sole method to express appreciation; the emphasis should be on ongoing, tailored, and context-sensitive actions that demonstrate care and repair relationships.
