    Send us a text

    Love those adorable squishy-faced pups? So do we! But behind the cute snorts and snores, many brachycephalic breeds - like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers - struggle with serious breathing issues. In this episode, we’re breaking down Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), the signs to watch for, and how surgery can be life-changing. If your pup sounds like a chainsaw when they sleep, this one’s for you! Tune in for an informative (and entertaining) deep dive into the world of smooshy-faced dogs and how we help them breathe easier.

  • A day in the life of an RVT
    Feb 25 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever wonder what your vet tech is actually doing behind the scenes? (Spoiler: it’s a lot more than just holding your pet during exams.) This week, we’re hanging out with Cecily, RVT since 2016 and total badass in the veterinary world, to dive into what it really means to be a Registered Veterinary Technician.

    From monitoring anesthesia to running labs and wrangling the occasional spicy patient, Cecily spills the tea on what RVTs do, how they’re often underutilized, and why “Let Them Tech” isn’t just a catchy phrase - it’s a movement.

From wild guesses to hilariously unhinged takes, we’re diving into the best (and worst) of the comment section.
