Episode 91 – Open Concept   I absolutely love pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Veterinary Medicine and indeed the Veterinary Industry. In this thought-provoking episode, Nora and I chat about our newly embraced “Open Concept”, which allows for more transparency, owner presence and owner contribution to their pets' health and treatment. I totally understand that this may be a challenging concept for many in the Veterinary Industry, however, I feel that there are so many benefits to be gained from thinking outside the box and embracing different ways of approaching pet health.   Listen as I share a childhood experience that really got me thinking about “emotional safety”, how an experience that Nora had with one of her daughters elicited those same thoughts and how we therefore collectively wanted to explore our patients' emotional safety a lot more.   I would absolutely LOVE to hear what you thought about the episode and your thoughts on the topic !!   If you liked this episode of the show, The Pet Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

Hind-limb lameness in horses can be challenging for owners to spot and veterinarians to diagnose. It can affect horses of all ages and disciplines. Subtle signs, such as a shortened stride, reluctance to go forward, or toe-dragging might go unnoticed until the horse's performance declines or a more obvious issue appears. Catching hind-limb lameness early can improve your horse's well-being and long-term soundness. Two experts answer listener questions about recognizing, diagnosing, and managing hind-limb lameness in horses in this archived Ask TheHorse Live podcast.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Petfood Forum in Kansas City, Missouri.  Austin begins with an overview of the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). Their membership consists of all government officials in the US and other countries who are charged by law to regulate animal feed, including pet food, in their jurisdictions. Canada, Costa Rica, and the US all participate in AAFCO. In the US, animal feed regulation is an integrated food safety system with a partnership between state and federal regulators as well as FDA. AAFCO's ultimate goal is to harmonize animal feed regulation across all states and provide a level playing field for the industry. (8:14)He goes on to explain that AAFCO and FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine had a long-standing MOU in place that outlined an ingredient approval pathway that ended on October 1, 2024. FDA chose not to renew that MOU to focus on improving their other regulatory pathways, the Food Additive Petition Process and the Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) Notice Program. The FDA also has a new Animal Food Ingredient Consultation Process for ingredient approval. AAFCO has partnered with Kansas State University's Olathe Innovation Campus to scientifically review new ingredients, then bring them back through the AAFCO process to get formal approval. Ingredient companies can choose one of these four pathways for new ingredient approval. (10:05) Dr. Starkey notes that the process a company chooses will depend on the ingredient. If it's similar to ingredients proven safe on the market already, the KSU-AAFCO system would be a good route. If it's something a little more sophisticated or a new chemical, that may be more appropriate for a food additive petition, where toxicology studies would be conducted. (12:49)The panel discusses how scrutiny of GRAS rules might impact the pet food industry. Dr. Larson explains the scientific rigor involved in evaluating new ingredients. Dr. Starkey notes that there are different levels of GRAS, one of which is self-affirmed, which might be the one under the most scrutiny at this point. The panel agrees that transparency is critical for consumer confidence and ensuring health and safety of pets. (15:47)Austin talks about some of the ripple effects of the federal reduction in force in the regulatory arena. He and Dr. Larson talk about how the AAFCO-K-State partnership came to be, how K-State is ramping up to manage this project, and future plans for the partnership. (19:52)Dr. Starkey underlines the importance of timely ingredient approvals and how the new AAFCO-K-State partnership allows for companies to be more competitive due to the speed of approvals. Austin notes that an ideal submission with no follow-up questions or back-and-forth would have taken about 18 months to get approval under the old MOU between AAFCO and FDA, and a very small percentage of applications would be considered ideal. With the new AAFCO-K-State process, an expert panel reviews the submission in 60-90 days and the entire approval process is cut roughly in half, to about nine months. (25:55)Scott and the panel discuss how approval pathways differ for ingredient approval based on the claim being made. For example, is it a nutrient or is there some sort of pharmaceutical claim?

Dr. Lauren Vaughan is a veterinarian at Best Friends Animal Hospital in Valley Village. She's been an animal lover since she was born, but has been practicing veterinary medicine since graduating from the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2019. Her mission is to help pet parents meet all of their dogs' and cats' mental, physical, and emotional needs without sacrificing their own. Recognizing that pet parents feel overwhelmed trying to figure out what information online is trustworthy (and  stressed out trying to remember everything their vet says during a visit), Dr. Vaughan launched comprehensivecompanionship.com as a one stop shop of reliable pet parenting information. And together with her friend and colleague, Dr. Alexis Traylor, later created  the @knows2tail instagram account for ongoing bite-sized bits of info.

Investigating the black-and-white apex predator of the sea – the killer whale! Able to predate even great white sharks, this marine mammal is the largest member of the dolphin family. From tropical seas, to the Arctic and Antarctic, killer whales (or orcas) are found across the world. Living in family groups and often led by a post-menopausal matriarch, killer whales have passed on their hunting methods, which vary depending on which prey they specialise in hunting, through the generations.Presenter Adam Hart finds out about the killer whales incredible social behaviours (such as wearing salmon as hats) and hears how a dog is helping killer whale researchers access a gold mine of information about this predator. He also hears what challenges killer whale populations are facing and why killer whales may be attacking boats off the coast of the Iberian peninsula.Contributors:Dr. Leigh Hickmott, whale biologist and conservationist, who is an expert on Pack Ice killer whales, and whose research uses them as indicators to assess human disturbance of marine habitats.Dr. Deborah Giles, who is an expert on Southern Resident killer whales, based with the SeaDoc Society, a program of the Karen C.

Lisa Grulke and Cat Munson - Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty (ACES) On the Reality of Working in Veterinary Medicine: "You're gonna have to talk with the family that can't necessarily afford to take care of their animal all the time. You're gonna have to lift a 80 pound dog. There's just certain things where we can make your life easier and better financially, but there's certain things that are just part of the job." The veterinary field is a challenging one.  For those that are working in the field, you need to work with animals that cannot necessarily tell you what hurts.  On the same side, they are communicating with the variety of pet owners.  Another significant issue comes down to the money.  Many people have left the veterinary profession for other, arguably easier, jobs for similar pay. The veterinary field is a business that requires the love of pets to be accepted as part of the reason you are in the field. Add onto the issue of growing demand as populations climb and pet ownership grows along with it and the declining or typically static existence of veterinary care facilities makes the business of veterinary medicine interesting, to say the least. Lisa Grulke and Cat Munson saw the need, and decided to build from scratch a veterinary practice of their own, the Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty (ACES) in Madison, Wisconsin.  They went full in with a new building, new equipment and processes for everything gained through their individual veterinary paths. Listen as Lisa and Cat explain how they got to be the admirable veterinary entrepreneurs they are and how they came to make the decisions they did.  The process was seemingly clinical in execution and the result has been nothing shy of amazing.

An Amazing Guest - both Vet and Highly Successful Network Marketer! You will love this interview...Dr. Janet Roark is a veterinarian and the proud owner of Hill Country Mobile Veterinary Service in Austin, Texas. She graduated from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. She started using essential oils for her own health after battling physical as well as emotional struggles related to stress. Essential oils have quite literally changed her life forever, and because of that, she has to tell everyone she meets about them!“I was very skeptical of Essential Oils and did not think they could help me at all. But, like so many people that find hope in essential oils, I was desperate. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time and taking time off work to go to the doctor 2-3 times a month was taking its toll on my life. So I tried an essential oil and within 15 minutes I was feeling better… 6 months later I was using them in my practice and educating others and 2 years later I started “doing the business” and it has changed my world, enhanced my quality of life, and now I'm starting to see my dreams realized. That hope I was looking for… I found it… and now you can have that hope too!”Dr. Roark began using essential oils in her practice about 6 months after incorporating them into her daily life, and doing a lot of research and reading every available book and article she could find on the subject. Her first case was nothing short of miraculous and she has never looked back since. She has dedicated herself to educating others about the safe and effective use of essential oils for animals and the people who own and love them! Her hope and prayer is that you find the information here on this website valuable and are able to use essential oils safely and more comfortably in your home.To find courses, webinars, pet safe oils, FAQs, resources & more!

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Sarah Wager, Professor of Pharmacology and Assistant Dean at Texas Tech University College of Veterinary Medicine. Wagner is the principal investigator for a survey of bovine veterinarians and the results of this research were published in the AABP peer-reviewed journal The Bovine Practitioner.  This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. Bacteria can strike udders from any angle. The dairy health portfolio that rises to the challenge is Mastitis 360 by Boehringer Ingelheim. It offers powerful solutions for lactation through dry-off. So, manage udder health with the ultimate tools at your disposal. Because you're more than a veterinarian. You're... a hero of the herd. For more information, visit this link. The objectives of this study were to find out what bovine veterinarians earn, what factors affect incomes, and what factors affect job satisfaction. Out of 900 respondents, 600 were private practitioners and this paper provides the results from the private practitioner responses working 40 or more hours per week. The overall mean income reported was $150,000 per year and the median income was $120,000 per year with a range of $40,000 to $1,000,000. Sixty-two percent of respondents were compensated via salary only, 25% were a mix of salary and production, and 6% were production only. Factors that are positively associated with increased income include years since graduation, prac­tice ownership, type-exclusive practice (beef or dairy only), and a production-based compensation structure. Wagner discusses the gender disparity in salary with women reporting lower earnings than men for all graduation year decades. We also discuss the interaction between practice ownership, gender and pay structure. The only situation where women earned the same as men were when they were compensated on a production basis vs. straight salary basis.  Wagner also reports drivers of job satisfaction. Income transparency is positively associated with job satisfaction, while being on call and working increased hours are nega­tively associated with job satisfaction.  It has been reported that only 17% of private sector jobs (vs. 80% of public sector) have income transparency. In this study, 55% of respondents were aware of how much other veterinarians at their workplace were paid. Only 10% of respondents reported leaving a job primarily due to income.  To find out more information about the AABP Veterinary Practice Sustainability Committee, visit this page.

Conditioning for Canine AthletesHost Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Ashley Nixon to discuss conditioning our canine athletes, whether for the show ring, dock diving, agility and more."Cardio's good for everybody," Nixon said, "but I think it's really important to consider the sport you're doing and what you're asking your dog to do. They can be cardiovascularly fit, but maybe they don't have the propulsion to do some dock diving or agility, right? So I think it's super important to kind of keep that in mind and not just say, hey, I walk my dog, we go for a run, we're fit, we're good."I like a ton of stuff you can actually do at home with basic equipment (for conditioning work). You can have them do some push-ups on an unstable surface, like a little exercise ball. You can have them pivot. It's great. Front end up, back end up. I love sit to stands for these guys and you can do a ton of different variations. You can have them do it on a mattress, Fit Bones are great. Cavalettis are great for these guys. You can especially pick up some changes in their gait or change their gait."(Cavalettis) are super versatile and if you want some flexion, you can have serpentines over the cavalettis and arrange them in, you know, semi circles, get some nice spinal flexion. Like that."Listen to the full episode for more from:Dr Ashley Nixon DVM, CVA, CVMRT, CVSMT, FCOAC, CAMP, CSCCChief of StaffDr. Ashley Nixon knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was just 3 years old.

Many deer hunters and the public at large are unaware of the critical work university affiliated state and regional wildlife health organizations do for the betterment of wildlife and human health. Deer are no exception, and in many cases, they dominate the workload due to their abundance, impact on broad wildlife conservation, and popularity. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lisa Murphy, a veterinarian, professor of toxicology, and the leader of the Pennsylvania Wildlife Futures Program at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Murphy explains the importance of wildlife health programs while detailing some of the specific work she oversees, ranging from the day-to-day rigors of regional wildlife health technicians to CWD sampling at the laboratory, to leading critical research for deer and other wildlife species. NDA has enjoyed a rich partnership with the Pennsylvania Wildlife Futures Program and others like it around the country, and even long-time members may be unaware of how many unique projects the organization works on that have broad implications for deer, hunting, and habitat. This episode illustrates one of the many ways NDA works with key partners to accomplish important science-based outcomes for deer and other wildlife.

Dr. Stephanie Han Checks joins us to discuss her 4th year at Davis, and about finally becoming a REAL doctor!  The vets reminisce on her experience through vet school and the changes one goes through year to year through the program.   We bring it back old school with the first cocktail (DV(c)M) from Dr. Han's first episode, and sling up some new content with our first listener write-in, asking the big questions.  The future looks bright, so pull up a chair, tune in, and knock one back as we welcome Stephanie to the rank of Doctor!   This Weeks Cocktail:   The Davis Vegan Martini-   Vodka Hazelnut Liqueur White Chocolate Liqueur Oatmilk
