While most veterinarians are dedicated to the humane, lawful, and caring treatment of animals, there are those out there who place profits above their patients. Veterinary malpractice is seldom talked about and seldom punished because animals are considered property under the law. Negligent vets likely face nothing more than a fine and a slap on the wrist for the death of a beloved pet. Today, Carrie has invited Scott Fine to speak on how he took a stand and created Joey's Legacy to advocate for victims of veterinary malpractice. He decided it's time to change our laws to recognize the true value of our pets and finally hold vets accountable.  Finding Scott Fine: Visit his website: https://joeyslegacy.org/ Donate here Read Joey's Legacy: Seeking Truth and Integrity in Veterinary Medicine Join our facebook page @petlifecoach *If you would like to have a consultation with our host Carrie Hyde you can book your appointment by visiting https://www.ahhthespaw.com/scheduleconsult/ Proceeds go towards helping The Spawdcast podcast stay in production! *If you know someone who is looking for more information and alternative answers for their pets health be sure to SHARE this podcast with them or leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts to help boost our visibility on the app to help more pet parents hear the show!!

There is a lot of confusion when it comes to vaccines: when to get them, what to get and what to know about them? Dr. Dodds breaks down the common ubiquitous diseases that are necessary to vaccinate for and clears up some of the confusion we face when trying to make good decisions for our pets. Another point of confusion is what are titers and does your pet need one? A titer test is a blood test that measures the level of immune system proteins called antibodies. We learn how this is connected to vaccines and why it's important as a choice or alternative for your pet.
