Your vet wants you to ask questions!

This week, we’re addressing something I see all the time in the clinic—people apologizing for asking questions about their pets. Maybe you’ve said, "Sorry, I have another question," or felt embarrassed for not understanding medical jargon. But here’s the truth: You should be asking questions! And not just for your own peace of mind, but because it directly impacts your pet’s health and well-being.

As a veterinarian, my job isn’t just about diagnosing and treating—it’s also about making sure you feel informed and confident about caring for your pet. And if something isn’t clear? That’s not a reflection on you—it means I can explain it better. This episode is all about shifting your mindset from "I don’t want to bother the vet" to "I deserve to understand what’s happening with my pet."

We’ll also talk about how your personal resources—time, money, energy—play a huge role in decision-making and why it’s okay to say, "I need a clear recommendation right now." So if you’ve ever hesitated before speaking up at the vet’s office, this episode is for you. Let’s break down those barriers!
