Actually, you know, that's not really the case.”“The dog training world—it's a white dominated space. It's kind of male dominated, too,” says Taylor Barconey of Smart Bitch Dog Training in New Orleans. “On our profile on Instagram we have Black Lives Matter, it's been there for a year now. Before 2020, we would have not felt comfortable putting that up at risk of losing our business because people would have blacklisted us. But now, we feel like we can finally breathe and be open about things that really matter to us—speaking out against racism and not feeling shy about it.”Brian Taylor, owner of Harlem's Doggy Day Care lost both his uncle and long time mentor to Covid.

Today I wanted to continue to talk about gratitude and how it can change our hearts and the hearts of those around us. This was the case with Dr. Kwane Stewart who stopped one day when he noticed a homeless man's dog was suffering from a severe flea allergy. Stewart was a veterinarian and he offered to treat the man's dog for free. A week later he checked back on the man and the dog and the man said the dog was finally sleeping through the night and he held back tears and said he was too. Stewart was so moved by the man's gratitude that he began to seek out other people experiencing homelessness who needed medical care for their pets. He does it for free and has treated over 400 pets in the last decade.Stewart has founded a non-profit and continues to dedicate more and more time to helping those with pets in need and said that his experience has softened his own heart and his own judgements about people who are living on the streets. Source: Meet Dr. Kwane Stewart projectstreetvet.orgVisit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here    

A graduate from the renowned Colorado State University Veterinary program, Dr. Kwane has been a California practicing vet for 22 years. He has worked in nearly every part of the profession - honing his clinical and business expertise. His journey started in '97 as an associate and emergency clinician in San Diego. From there he climbed the ranks quickly, becoming the Chief Medical Officer of Vetco Hospitals, Inc. Later he would take the reins of a struggling municipal shelter as County Veterinarian and reverse one of the worst euthanasia rates in the country. Most recently, he completed a six year stint as the Chief Veterinary Officer of American Humane, and Director of their legacy program, No Animals Were Harmed®, protecting over 100,000 animals every year around the globe on film and TV sets. Today he serves as the Chief Medical Officer and head Veterinarian for Papaya Pet Care. He has been sought for his expertise by many media outlets and major companies – including Disney, United Airlines and Sea World – for guidance to improve their animal care standards. He is known for his outspoken, compassionate, charismatic and genuine nature. Today, his career has evolved into another new journey. His true calling…helping pets and people in need. Many years ago, during a five-year tenure as a Shelter Veterinarian in a struggling, depressed area of California, Dr. Kwane began to form a true appreciation for those that struggle to afford health care for their pets. One day, on a whim, he headed downtown with some medical supplies. He set up a table near a homeless food bank, and invited anyone with a pet to be examined and treated at no charge. It was the most memorable day of his career. Afterwards, he made more consistent efforts to find Homeless people, wherever they were, and give free medical aid to their pets. Now, years later, his journey is now being chronicled on a new television series, called “The Street Vet”. It follows him as he travels the streets of California helping pets, and people alike, while retrieving some of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of sacrifice and hope. In this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Stewart, we cover: The origination of Project Street Vet Working with the homeless and their pets Being committed to care The bond between pet and homeless person How working with the homeless changed the trajectory of Kwane's career Happiness within homelessness Hollywood or homeless: pet lovers are the same Funding veterinary care on the streets The role of pet insurance Making contributions - how can you do it?

What everyday things in our households can be dangerous for our pets?  The Street Vet, Dr. Kwane Stewart, joins our host Dr. Natalie Marks to talk about all of the things we want to make sure our pets aren't getting at in our homes.

So many people adopted a new pet during the pandemic and that even includes our own VetScoop crew!  Dr. Kwane Stewart adopted his new puppy Cora during the pandemic and just like many of us, he's going through the ups and downs of making sure their life together gets off on the right paw.  He joins Dr. Natalie Marks for this VetScoop podcast to talk about what we need to do when we bring a new pet into our home.

In our latest VetScoop podcast, our host Dr. Natalie Marks is joined by Dr. Kwane Stewart.  Dr. Stewart is known as The Street Vet for his help with the pets of the homeless in Southern California, but today he is having a cup of coffee with us as we talk about the importance of keeping a watch on our pets' oral health.  While Dr. Kwane acknowledges he is not good about brushing his dog's teeth each day, he says we all can find ways to do something to help.  He and Dr. Marks talk about what we can do to take better care of our pets' oral health, as well as why this is such an important issue for our pets' overall health.

Lick You Silly dog treats, Trill Paws enamel ID Tags, The Dog Father of Harlem's Doggie Day Spa, gorgeous rainbow beaded Dog Collars from The Kenya Collection, Sir Dogwood luxurious modern dog-wear. “The dog training world—it’s a white dominated space. It’s kind of male dominated, too,” says Taylor Barconey of Smart Bitch Dog Training in New Orleans.  “On our profile on Instagram we have Black Lives Matter, it’s been there for a year now. Before 2020, we would have not felt comfortable putting that up at risk of losing our business because people would have blacklisted us. But now, we feel like we can finally breathe and be open about things that really matter to us—speaking out against racism and not feeling shy about it.” Chaz Olajide of Sir Dogwood wasn’t finding communities of pet owners or pet businesses owned by people of color. “I did a deep dive into the statistics —I just wanted to see if maybe I was an outlier, like maybe the reason why I’m not seeing more diversity in these companies is because maybe the demand isn’t out there. Actually, you know, that’s not really the case.” Brian Taylor, owner of Harlem’s Doggy Day Care lost both his uncle and long time mentor to Covid. During the pandemic his business slumped by 80%. So with some help from his pet parents and supporters he decided to hit the road with “The Pup Relief Tour offering grooming services to anyone going through rough times and in need. “All together we had about 63 African American dog groomers that went on tour with us across the country and we groomed over 829 dogs.” This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Black-owned pet business entrepreneurs.
