Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode, Dr. Amelia discusses an exciting new approach to senior dog care with guest Dr. Lisa Lippman. They introduce the senior dog veterinary society and a new senior dog veterinary certification co-founded by Dr. Lippman, Dr. Monica Tarantino, and Dr. Lauren Adelman. This episode dives into the power of adopting this certification, emphasizing its positive impact on the well-being of the entire veterinary ecosystem: pets, pet parents, and veterinary professionals. They dive into how this new proactive approach can help to decrease stress, overwhelm, and frustration that can come with senior pet care in a holistic way including better communication, decreased stress around finances, managing the emotions and heaviness associated with aging and end of life care, time management, relationships, prioritizing co-morbidities, and more.  Amelia and Lisa also share their personal experiences caring for and losing a senior pet and why adopting a nervous system perspective and fear-free approach is a game changer when caring for aging pets. 

Dr. Lisa Lippman, DVM, is one of the most followed and socially influential veterinarians in the United States. She is nationally respected by media outlets such as Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and Live with Kelly and Ryan as a go-to source for expertise in pet health and safety. 

When not treating some of the most influential pets in the world at Bond Vet she is the co founder of the Senior Dog Veterinary Society as well as the Pet Loss Community and sits on the board of Animal Lighthouse Rescue, whose mission is to help the homeless dogs of Puerto Rico. On top of that, she still finds time to devote to her own dog, the incomparable Herbie.
