I love this

This podcast is very educational and helpful! I’m not a vet but I am a pet owner who wants to know more about how to take care of animals, thresholds for going to the vet, what to do if emergencies occur as far as things I can do at home and pets in general. This podcast is very entertaining and educational! Highly recommend for the more medically minded pet owner
