In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, board-certified veterinary nutritionist Dr. Valerie Parker joins Dr. Josie for an in-depth conversation about what to feed your pets. They tackle the hot topics – grain free diets, prescription diets, and the biggest mistakes pet parents are making on the pet food aisle. They also discuss whether a homemade/raw diet is better than traditional kibble – you may be surprised at the answer! Dr. Josie debunks the myth that veterinarians get kickbacks to sell you specific food brands. In the intro to the interview, Dr. Josie shares her "Case of the Week" – a man who brought his dog in for having ‘cancerous bumps’ all over its belly which turned out to be something ENTIRELY different. After the interview, Dr. Josie and Shannon wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including NOT getting your dog’s anal glands expressed unless they truly need it!

In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Isabella Stepanovic, a veterinarian friend of Dr. Josie joins the podcast with her Goldendoodle named Monkey. Dr. Isabella takes over this week’s Case of the Week segment, summarizing many crazy things she has seen in practice at her ER Vet clinic, including a dog with severe burns that had fallen out of the bed of its owner’s truck and had unfortunately been dragged behind the vehicle. Dr. Josie & Dr. Isabella take listener calls and give their feedback on how often to bathe your pets and explain reverse sneezing and whether it is cause for concern. They discuss in depth which vaccines your pet should definitely receive (like rabies, distemper/parvo) and which vaccines are more circumstantial. Dr. Isabella shares a story of a dog that came into her office having seizures, which is normal for her to see, but the dog didn’t respond to meds and passed away. It turned out that the dog was infected with rabies and everyone that had been in contact with the animal had to go through intense rabies treatment. They discuss zoonotic illnesses - meaning diseases that animals can pass to humans, like rabies, if they are not properly vaccinated. Dr. Josie & Dr. Isabella touch on the importance of flea, tick and heart worm treatment and dispute the myth that garlic is a home remedy for tick prevention. They wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including declawing cats. She and Dr. Isabella talk through how intense that procedure is and the complications that can come from it.

In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, Taylin Lewan (animal advocate & wife of former NFL player/Bussin’ with the Boys co-host Taylor Lewan) and her senior Husky, Akira, join Dr. Josie. Taylin discusses rescuing Akira when she was just 18-years-old after losing two family members and immediately bonding with her during one of life’s hardest seasons. Taylin shares that Akira recently survived cancer and moves around a little slower these days. She discusses handling the anticipatory grief of knowing Akira won’t be around forever. Taylin also shares about her plethora of farm animals and learning some hard lessons through trial and error -- from keeping her chickens alive amongst Tennessee’s many predators to learning her goats had ‘goat herpes.’ After the interview, Dr. Josie and Shannon wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including keeping lilies out of your cat’s reach which can cause fatal kidney failure!
