Beyond Symptoms: Preventative Diagnostics in...

2023/10/18

Preventative diagnostics is a critically important component of veterinary care. In the U.S., only 40-50% of pet owners take their pets to the vet once a year. While the costs of vet visits continue to increase, the cost of not taking your pet to the vet regularly can far outweigh the cost of a vet visit. With the cost of a simple vet visit now approaching $100 in some areas, and the costs of any tests and treatments further adding to the total cost of the bill, many pet parents take the approach

I had the chance to meet Dr. James Templeman, Director of Nutrition at Primal Pet Foods at SuperZoo this summer, and we had a great chat about the nutritional benefits of raw, freeze-dried, and gently-cooked diets. Adding even a little bit of one of these food forms to your pet's kibble can go a long way towards improving their overall health. Since SuperZoo, I've made a conscious effort to increase the levels of freeze-dried food in my dog, Peony's diet, and the results have been

Pet Insurance: Why Doesn't Your Pet Have It?

2023/09/20

In the latest episode of Petworking, Daisy Chavez, BS, CVT of Pet Insurance Review and I sat down to discuss the current state of the pet insurance industry, why adoption rates are so low, and the benefits that pet parents can expect from investing in pet insurance. Many pet parents overestimate the cost of pet insurance, don't think they'll need it, or have been misinformed about the benefits/effectiveness of pet insurance offerings. One would think that many of these misperceptions could

SuperZoo has become an annual August tradition for me. Despite the fact that it tends to coincide with my birthday, I love the networking and trendspotting, the chance to see new product launches, to meet new people, and reconnect with old friends. And as each year passes, the number of people I'm reconnecting with at SuperZoo continues to grow. This year was special for me, as it represented the first time I'd attended SuperZoo since launching Petworking in April. I have to say, I was

2023/08/01

On the 9th episode of Petworking, we cover a topic that has the potential to drive profound reverberations across the pet food ecosystem, the human food ecosystem, and in the fight against climate change. Regenerative agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that seeks to rehabilitate and enhance the entire ecosystem of the farm by placing a heavy premium on soil health. It is a method of farming that "regenerates" the soil, improving its nutrient content and increasing

Have you ever noticed how some families are just good at certain things? The Bush and Kennedy families were political dynamos. The Ripken and Griffey families were baseball savants. In pet food, it's the Scott family. Jim Scott Sr. bought Old Mother Hubbard in 1961, and instilled his passion for animal nutrition in his son, Jim Scott Jr. Jim Scott Jr. founded Wellness pet food in 1997, and is credited with helping drive the humanization of pet food, with his focus on natural ingredients.

One of the last things I do every night before I go to bed is brush Peony’s teeth. We’ve done this for almost 4 years now, and it’s very much a part of our routine. However, according to a survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) in 2020, 35% of dog owners reported that they do not provide any form of dental care for their dogs. When asked about their reasons for not providing dental care, 30% stated that they did not know how to care for their dog's teeth, 26% said that

This week's episode focuses on a heartwarming story from one of my oldest and closest friends. I've known Andrew Stickney since I was 6 years old, in kindergarten. Andrew is a technology professional, and avid traveler and kitesurfer. Earlier this year, he returned from a kitesurfing trip to Colombia, and told me about how he had rescued a senior stray dog he encountered on the beach, named her "Roxy," and was working to bring her to the United States, so he could adopt

A little over a week ago, I wrote about my experience of losing Peony while mountain biking, only to find her after searching for about 2 hours. I was incredibly lucky – according to the American Humane Association, one-third of all dogs and cats in the United States are reported missing in their lifetimes, and more than 80% are never found. Almost 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the U.S. each year, meaning that each year, 8 million dogs and cats are separated from their

Veterinary burnout and staffing shortages are becoming increasingly urgent issues in the animal healthcare industry. We have a situation where many pet parents cannot access care for their animals, especially not in a timely fashion. At the same time, veterinarians and veterinary technicians are suffering compassion fatigue and burnout, given that they are frequently placed in situations where they know they could help an animal, but are unable to do so. These vets and vet techs joined the
