RE: Invasive Species Awareness Week

Should you halter a horse or not halter a horse when out in the pasture? A similar debate, hah! I think this one just honestly depends on personal preference and knowledge of your own cat. I am pro breakaway collars, and replacing them is just one of those accepted risks. If you have an outdoor ...

I'm a little biased - but I would love to hear what I [and my fellow officers] will potentially see in the field! Primarily: 1) Heat stress - what it looks like, how to prevent it, what to do when it happens 3) Unresponsive pet People 1) Heat stress - what it looks like, how to prevent it, what to ...

In this discourse I think we've decided that TNR is one of the great solutions to help cats and conservation. We still have a debate about language. I do think that while cats may logically fit into that ["invasive species"] definition, we also must understand that words cause harm. This is true of ...

RE: New Research Reveals Trust Gap Between Pet Owners and Veterinarians

This is an interesting article. I haven't really thought about how the term 'access to care' meaning different things to different people might alter perception of how to fix the issue. Additionally, the fact that the results were almost fully electronically driven. If access to care is an issue ...

I haven't given a lot of thought about what happens in my animal's brains. I am well aware and can see my own dog's happiness; and even more more aloof cat has his cuddle moments that I cherish. It's so interesting to think how much we gain from each other. I wonder if the same oxytocin can be found ...

Thanks for sharing! I've always wondered how Veterinary Social Worker roles/narrative changes when considering the more negative 'pet effect' such as overwhelmed caregiver or when pet need insecurities are causing stress in a home. I do believe pet effects are more positive than negative(!) but is there ...

I would agree with Katie, long overdue! I rather wish that ASO's, veterinarians, or any other public servant who often comes into job obligations v moral obligations and has to be a part of vicarious trauma had mandatory mental health checks ... I think our worlds have gotten much better about the transparency ...

Good morning, We do not specifically track this, however one of our surrender reasons is 'health/unable to care for' which is designed to help us distinguish when the human caretaker is unable to care for the animal anymore. As you might imagine, elderly do often fall into that category. As Animal ...
