Our urgent care program has been up and running for about a year, so we're looking back at its beginnings and looking ahead to the future with our Chief Veterinarian Dr. Melia Washington and our Chief Operations Officer Kristin Roth. Plus: a new co-host?! It's true, but will it last?

Where do retired service and working dogs go when they retire? Not always where you think. We talk with Bob Bryant of Mission K9 Rescue about the ins and outs of rescuing these pups and getting them a forever home to retire to.
Also we say a sad farewell to Cierra, who's off to new adventures!

We love our partnership with K-State, not only because we're always wanting to show off what we're doing, but because it gives future veterinarians a way to experience what it's like working in a high-volume environment and helps them find ways to help pets whose owners may not be able to afford the cost of treatment. We talk with Dr. Ron Orchard, the guardian angel of this partnership about how it works and what effect it's having on their veterinary department.
