Ever wondered why cats have ruled our hearts since ancient Egypt?

According to legend, a werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by day. Some werewolves change shape at will; others, in whom the condition is hereditary or acquired by having been bitten by a werewolf, change shape involuntarily, under the influence of a full moon. If he is wounded in wolf form, the wounds will show in his human form and may lead to his detection. Belief in werewolves is found throughout the world. In French folklore, the werewolf is called loup-garou.  On this episode of Obsessed with the Palmers, Caitlin and Clay investigate on the truth behind the myth of these hairy beasts!   Obsessed with the Palmers podcast is brought to you by Brave Paws!

Zombies are often portrayed as  undead, flesh-eating, decaying corpses.  Zombies have enjoyed a popularity surge in recent years. Whether they're devouring their prey in The Walking Dead or trying to take over the world in Resident Evil, zombies dominate pop culture.   But are zombies real? Unlike many other monsters—which are mostly a product of superstition, religion and fear— zombies have a basis in fact, and several verified cases of zombies have been reported from Haitian voodoo culture. On this episode of Obsessed with the Palmers, Caitlin and Clay investigate on the truth behind the myth of these undead mindless warriors.    Obsessed with the Palmers podcast is brought to you by Brave Paws!

Lately it seems you just can't get in to see your vet. A new study from Banfield Pet Hospital reveals an estimated 75 million pets in the U.S. may not have access to the veterinary care they need by 2030, with an important factor being a critical shortage of veterinarians. This pandemic pet boom has overwhelmed veterinarians nationwide, so getting an appointment with a local vet has become increasingly difficult.  So-- What is the leading cause of the veterinarian labor shortage?  Healthcare workers and those in public service-facing roles have borne the brunt of this pandemic, and that includes veterinarians. While much of our attention has been focused on the COVID-19 virus and how it affects humans, it's important to remember that animals never stopped needing medical care as well. Unfortunately, the pandemic accelerated an already worrying trend in this regard. Simply put, veterinarians are overwhelmed. According to National Pet Owners Survey, 70% of U.S. households had a pet in 2021 (approximately 90.5 million families.) Yet, there are only 86,000 licensed veterinarians. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics recently went so far as to update the 2020-30 job outlook for vets – at an incredible 17%. That's almost 5,000 new veterinarians being added every year - just to keep up. On this show, we speak with Caitlin Palmer, a veterinary receptionist at a busy practice in Mississippi to learn more.   Follow Caitlin @thedeskwench   ▷ LET'S BECOME FRIENDS!! 

On this episode of B's and Queens with Caitlin Palmer, we meet Dr. Evan Antin.  While most people may recognize the local vet that takes care of their pets, chances are there are few vets that are recognized outside of their community. Dr. Evan Antin is one of the few vets that may actually be familiar to most of the population. He has more than a million followers on social media, where he shares his work with animals ranging from baby rhinoceros to tiny puppies, and is PEOPLE magazine's Pet Vet. He also has an Animal Planet show where people can watch him treat a large range of exotic animals. His work can take him all over the world, though he works at the Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital in Southern California when he's home. This amazing man is often referred to as one of the sexiest vet's alive. He's even had a buzzfeed article titled such, and was given the title by People's Magazine. One look at his face is all you need to confirm how sexy he is, but there's more to him than just looks. His respect for animals and passion for wildlife conversation are every bit as attractive as his face. How much he cares about animals is evident with just a few minutes of watching him work. In one episode of Evan Goes Wild, he must get deworming medication into an elephant. Elephant's have a keen sense of smell, and though he wrapped the pills in attractive “pill pockets” made from grass, grains, and fruit, the elephant still knew which one had medicine in it. Through patience, respect, and trust in the animal, he was able to convince it to eat the medication. This is just one example of many patient and sweet moments he has with animals.  Get to know this amazing human and how you can join his mission to make this world a better place.    This program is brought to you by Petzey.

On this episode of B's and Queens, Caitlin Palmer meets Tok Tok star, Dr. Matt McGlasson.  Nearly everyone has a regret at some point during their career, but for Dr. Matt McGlasson, that regret was at one point his entire career. After a year of slogging through one of the worst (and first) job experiences of his life, he found himself questioning whether all his years in medical school were a waste. Luckily, Dr. Matt's story doesn't end with his new career as a singer/songwriter, but instead with the changes he made to his career to make it worthwhile. With the support of his wife, Matt chose to change how he handled the world of veterinary medicine, and it helped his career in so many different ways, one of those ways is entertaining cat lovers with his fun loving cat themed content on social media.  This program is brought to you by Petzey.

Welcome to Pet Candy Magazine, January, 2022!  Happy New Year!!!  We are so honored to introduce you to an amazing veterinarian who's on a mission to increase diversity.  Meet Dr. Courtney Campbell, a Connecticut native who now calls California home.  Dr. Courtney is one of a few veterinarians that are boarded in surgery and his days are filled with some of the strangest cases you could imagine.  He is always finding unusual objects in pets, like the golden-doodle who ate a kitchen towel, to the cat who ate dental floss.  His days are never boring.   We also have some other great information for you in this issue including ways to live a healthier and happier life and how to keep you pets safe.  We also look at the veterinary crisis in America, why you may not be able to get an appointment with your veterinarian when you need it and how you can use telemedicine to get help when that happens.   This program is brought to you by Petzey.

Welcome to the world of Pet Candy For pet lovers, one of the greatest fears is losing our beloved companion.  Grieving is very personal and different for each person and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.  Experts do agree that it does help when we talk about our feelings and share our story with others.  The actress that graces out cover this month, Reagan J. Pasternak, has a beautiful story to tell and we are delighted to share it with you.  After losing her dog, Griffin, Reagan began writing a book about her journey of healing in hopes it would help others navigate their grief. I hope that readers will find comfort, insight, and companionship in the pages. On a lighter note, we also have some other great information for you in this issue, including tips for enjoying your holidays with your pets, staying healthy, and living your best life.
