Tell Us What You Think

It's been one full year and 57 episodes of Tails of Truth, and Dr. Angie and JoJo are taking a minute to sit in it. In this episode, they look back at their favorite moments, the episodes that hit hardest, and a few things they've genuinely changed their minds about along the way. From pet insurance skepticism to the Lepto vaccine, from raw food hand washing habits to processing grief in this public space, this is what it looks like to learn out loud in front of an audience that keeps showing up.

They also revisit the grief episode that moved so many listeners, and give a nod to Euthabag, a company creating beautiful, meaningful options for pet body care after passing. If you're in an end of life season with your pet, they are worth looking up. On the insurance front, JoJo shares why she finally put her dog Sage on a Lemonade pet insurance policy despite being highly skeptical of the industry, and what she's watching for.

Coming up in year two: a dermatologist, an oncologist, a cat behaviorist, and more episodes that make complicated veterinary medicine feel like a conversation with a friend.

If you've been here since the beginning, thank you. If you're just finding them, welcome. This is a podcast that tells the truth about veterinary medicine, and they're just getting started.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. It's okay, even good, to change your mind when new information or lived experience shifts your perspective. JoJo opted for the Lepto vaccine and pet insurance. Dr. Angie is finally addressing Fritz's weight. Both took time and that's okay.
2. Veterinary professionals carry shame too. The shame episode resonated deeply because naming it is the first step to doing something about it.
3. No question is ridiculous. If you have a question, it means it hasn't been answered well enough yet.
4. Cat episodes consistently perform because cats are underserved in veterinary content.
5. Community matters. The Bodhi grief episode showed how powerful it is to feel held by a group of people who understand.
6. Lifting the curtain on what it's like to be a veterinary professional is part of the mission and it's rare.
7. Veterinary humor is a coping mechanism and it's real. The giggles stay.
