The Derm Vet Podcast

I love lecturing... but this keynote will be very special to me.
On August 26, I get to cross something off of my speaker bucket list: keynote presentation. I was supposed to do this keynote last year and had to drop out after our son was diagnosed with leukemia.
So I feel so fortunate to get to finally fulfill this dream in two months. Fetch has a special place in my heart. Kansas City has a special place in my heart as a Mizzou grad and an Air Force brat who was stationed an hour away for years. This topic will also have a special place in my heart as I discuss how this medical journey with our son has changed my perspective on caregiver burden and empathy toward clients.
Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast to learn more about the keynote topic. I have a special code BOURGEOIS25 off your registration if you want to join me in KC!

When asked on social media what topics you would covered in the podcast... many of you asked for allergy spiels. How do I communicate with owners of allergic pets? How do I convince owners to start flea prevention even if they don't see fleas? How do you stop dreading the food allergy talk?
This is an introduction to client communication as we spend the next few weeks going over specific allergy spiels.

Welcome Dr. Karen Shenoy to the podcast! She is the Chief Veterinary Officer for Hills US. We discuss Hill's Global Symposium which is focusing on dermatology this year! Dr. Shenoy and I will be co-hosting this event which contains a bunch of amazing speakers.

The podcast welcomes back Dr. Chris Pachel, DVM, DACVB, CABC! How can you tell if a dog's licking is related to allergies or behavior? It may not be as straight forward as you think since there can be some overlap. Client communication, multimodal treatment, etc.
Dig into some details of this complex area of case management!

Allergies add up! Is it really that important to perform ear cytology when most of commercial products have combination ingredients? What do you do if an ear is not responding?
Learn why it is crucial to justify the cost of repeated ear cytology to your cases. Many of these products have potent ingredients so we want to assure we are using them appropriately!
