Ep. 32 - [REPLAY] Pizza is the best

10/13/22 • 21 min

In preparation of Vet Tech Appreciation Week next week, we couldn’t think of a better tribute to all of the professionals in the veterinary industry than to replay one of our favorite episodes of the past year. In Episode 5, we laughed; we cried; we celebrated “the best good boy there ever was - Shiner - a rescued blue weimaraner” and how he inspired a national effort to recognize the work of dedicated, caring and amazing veterinary professionals. Be forewarned, you will definitely want to have tissues readily available.
