I can confirm her squirrel facts. I raised an orphaned one, and it was the sweetest cuddliest pet until it almost grown. Woke up one morning an she acted like a wild animal: biting, scratching, trying to eat my face off... It was a sad day, but I've checked wanting a squirrel off my list!

"Some dogs will let you brush their teeth" Shows Jack struggling vehemently against having his teeth brushed
-
I have a cat who was declawed by a previous owner. He has so many behavioral issues that are typical of declawed cats. He was just at the vet yesterday for litter box issues and the vet brought up the fact that he was declawed. Declawing inflicts lifelong trauma on the animal.
-
It was nice of Jack to bring his human to this, really made it wholesome
-
I swear to God, every "can I have this exotic pet" question can just be answered with the words "Do you know what 'domestication' is and how long it takes?"
-
Declawing cats. Stop calling it declawing, it has nothing to do with the claws. As the vet said, it is amputating the toes. Cats have claws. If you have a problem with claws, dont get a cat.
-
This woman was born to be a vet. You can just tell. She's the 1% of Kindergarten girls who's living the dream! 😎👍🏻🙏🏻
-
If you decide to brush a cat's teeth, a fencing mask is highly recommended.
-
Adore the collection of people you have answering questions. They are so intelligent in their respective subject and superbly passionate. Love learning more.
-
I think the person asking about cat urine toxicity is actually referring to breathing in ammonia. Its often brought up in hoarder situations when staff have to enter the house with respirators due to how many animals they have trapped in the house.

My parents didn’t take our family dog to the vet unless something seemed “wrong,” and this resulted in a long and unsuccessful battle with heartworms. Now that I have my own dog, I am so happy to get to take him to his yearly checkups and treat him the way I wish I could have treated my Sugar:,)

“Jack’s a good example of a dog that will let you brush his teeth.” Jack: proceeds to resist
-
declawing should be illegal. if you don’t want scratched up furniture then DONT GET A CAT
-
Hey that lady should have also mentioned that when brushing a doggy’s teeth, you can’t use the same toothpaste that humans use because they need an enzymatic paste, while we use an abrasive paste. Pet toothpaste is also beef or chicken flavored, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that is the only difference!!
-
This vet was a great representation of our profession! One thing I’ll add about grain free dog food. Legumes as a substitute for grain (aka grain free dog food) is correlated with a type of heart disease called canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Please talk to your vet first because grain free doesn’t necessarily mean better food.
-
She is everything we want in a vet. She has such a wide range of knowledge, she's very patient while answering these questions, and she has a way of making whoever she looks at very comfortable!
-
Exotic animals as pets should be illegal. Tigers don't belong in farms, sugar gliders don't belong in apartments. Sad to see that this happens still.
-
It makes me feel slightly relieved to know that my boxer's cancer was most likely a predisposition. We tried to give him the best life and he was a happy 14 year old fella, but in the end a tumor took over his poor body. RIP Raider T_T
-
Much respect to this vets patience because some these questions are just plain stupid.
-
my mom accidentally 'quicked' our first golden and it literally looks like a murder scene. thank god it didn't really hurt her, or at least she was a tough girl, she acted like she couldn't have cared less. running around tracking blood every where she wanted to play and my mom hystertically crying and yelling 'I MAIMEd heR' you learn quickly after that.
