What’s Your Pet Eating?

This week we sit down with Dr. Pete to talk about food allergies and what you’re feeding your pets. Many people are unaware of how their dog and cat’s digestive system actually works and responds to different foods. Dogs and cats have intolerance to many different food items that humans have no trouble eating. Giving your dog or cat table scraps and other human food can be detrimental to their overall health and wellbeing. We talk about your pets diet and what’s safe to give them for treats and snacks!

How We Test Pet Meds

This week we talk about a topic that has an effect on almost all pet owners at some point: medication. Some people have asked us how they go about testing drugs and figuring out what works and what doesn’t. Dr. Pete has spent years working with different drugs and drug companies and he shares his insight into how we go from a new drug idea, to something being used by veterinarians nationwide. We hope this conversation gives you a little peace of mind when it comes to trusting your vet and what they think is best for your pet! Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
