I enjoyed hearing learning about pet assessments and what treatments are available for muscular/orthopedic injuries. The euthanasia information is important to know as well.
Can anyone advise me about a proper orthopedic pet bed? What is the appropriate firmness and material of a mattress? I think every per owner to have this empowerment of knowledge to guide their pets care.

Loved Dr Tori! Another reason to move to San Diego! ha ha! But learned alot about prevention and what's available for ortho disorders & injuries. Everyone who has a pet or wants one or just loves animals.
Debi Donatelli
So far I got the most out of Dr Conor Brady's presentation. Very informative and enjoyable!!
I think anyone who has a pet should be watching and learning from these intelligent, caring vets!

Having a dog with behavioral issues due to Hypothyroid has been incredibly difficult. Extensive training had limited results, because although he is well trained, he suffers in areas beyond his control. (Intense & sudden fear of things unseen being one)
I am blessed to have a Vet that has considered the research I’ve brought to him despite being very athletic & young. (this is how we discovered the low antibodies through a full blood panel) but treatment only helped marginally.
My Vet has since repeated the panel for other dogs.
I am so thankful & excited to have more areas I can explore for him to make his world easier, & hope for preventing these problems for future dogs.
I am infinitely thankful, & so is Thor. Everyone! I work in a full service dog facility that sees over 90 dogs daily for boarding, daycare, grooming, as well as training, & I cannot think of one single area of dog care, be it professionally or in the setting of a home, that wouldn’t benefit greatly from this insight.
You have improved countless lives now & for generations to come.🐾

I have enjoyed both the interview style sessions and the slide show style presentations. The latter were good for copying down websites to look for more information on topics covered. Every speaker was excellent! I learned a lot. Thanks very much! Both pet owners with new pets and ones experienced in pet care will find good useful information. Even people without a pet but planning to adopt one will learn a lot.
