Not many people can say they found homes for over 30 million animals. But Betsy Banks Saul can! All throughout her professional life, Betsy has dedicated herself to pet adoption, rescue, and animal welfare causes, including being the co-founder of Petfinder- the world’s #1 pet site.
Now her mission has shifted from “How to get pets out of shelters” to “How to keep pets with their families.” That's why she's giving veterinary practices away in areas in need, starting with 4 practices in Reno, Nevada.

On this episode of Living Well with Dr. Jessica, we meet Dr. Sonja Olson who is a Wellness Educator for the BluePearl Health & Well-being Team. She works alongside veterinary social workers to create and train on well-being concepts and initiatives as well as foster conversations that promote a more compassionate, healthy community and culture. She talks about the problems facing the profession these days and her new book, A Call to Life.
A Call to Life aims to help veterinary caregivers increase self-efficacy, decrease unnecessary suffering, and increase sustainability in their mission to support animal health around the world. The veterinary profession is powered by dedicated, bright, and selfless individuals. Unfortunately, the long-standing and dysfunctional culture in classrooms and practices around the world expects veterinary caregivers to be ready to sacrifice everything – their time, their health, their personal lives – in the name of being deemed qualified and ‘worthy.’

Behavioral issues are the #1 reason why dogs end up in shelters. According to the ASPCA approximately 3.1 million dogs are surrendered or placed in U.S. animal shelters every year. Even more worrisome? Thousands never get adopted. But there is good news!We can quite literally save the life of a dog with proper training and care. We simply must learn to listen to our dogs, communicate effectively, correct bad behaviors, and respond appropriately. With a little love and lots of patience, almost all issues can be overcome. On this episode of B's and Queens with Caitlin Palmer, we meet Dr. Vanessa Spano, who's a veterinary behavioralist. Dr. Vanessa provides veterinary support for the ASPCA adoption animals and victims of animal cruelty and hoarding.
They talk about anxiety in dogs, what it is and how to treat it.
We love you for listening!

Many of us have grown up loving horses, but only a few of us make it to become an equine veterinary specialist. On this episode of Vet Candy IRL, host Shannon Gregoire meets the Olympic team's veterinarians, Dr. Lisa Borzynski, who makes sure the four legged members of the Olympic team are kept safe and healthy.
Wisconsin native, Dr. Lisa tells us all about her journey that has led up to this Olympic reality. After 25 years of working at shows, nearly 2 years of planning, 6 Covid tests in 4 days, and 24 hours of travel, she arrived in Tokyo this summer to help support the team.

Welcome listeners! We are delighted to share some stories with you this month, including one about our cover star, Aziza Glass. She is the founder of Personal Touch Veterinary Clinic, a mobile practice in Houston, Texas, incorporates eastern medicine, like acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas, with traditional western medicine. Her story is amazing and I hope it inspires you to find your purpose.
Speaking of mobile clinics, did you know that they are becoming the hottest trend in vet med these days? In fact, Betsy Saul, the founder of Petfinder.org is teaming up with animal related charities to bring mobile veterinary care to animals areas in need across the U.S. One of the most interesting parts of her new company, Heal Housecall Veterinarian, is that she helps veterinarians incubate their own practices. So, when you team up with her group, you you’re your community plus you create your own business with their help. You can read all about it in this issue!

This week, the third veterinary wellbeing study, which was taken during the height of the pandemic, was rolled out with some very sad news. Ninety-two percent of respondents rated increased stress as one of their top mental health challenges, 88% cited student debt and concerns about the risk of suicide as leading stressors for veterinarians. It is no surprise that the pandemic impacted many veterinarians and clinic staff, including veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, practice managers and client service representatives. Add to that, the percentage of veterinarians with serious psychological distress has increased to 9.7% in 2021 as measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, compared to 6.4% in 2019.
On this episode of the Desk Wench Confessions, Caitlin Palmer gets real with Dr. Stacey Cordivano, an equine veterinarian who is on a mission to bring happiness back to our profession. Dr. Stacey talks about her life and her seven secrets to making your wellbeing a priority.

For female veterinarians who want to specialize in zoological work, a new study on family work and income for diplomates of the American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM) holds both good and bad news with a recent study that was published in Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.. While women in the field don’t seem to suffer from a gender pay gap, many feel that they must give up on having children in order to succeed.
On this episode of Vet Candy IRL, host, Shannon Gregoire meets Dr. Tara Harrison, an associate professor of zoological medicine at North Carolina State University and lead author of the study.
The study showed that when it comes to having a family, respondents’ perception of its effect on career did differ by gender. Seventy-six percent of females and 47% of males reported delaying having children because of their career. Additionally, 65% of females with children felt that having children had a negative effect on their career, compared to 16% of males with children. Finally, 85% of females without children, and 44% of males without children, thought having children would have negatively affected their careers.
What can we do to change this? Start by having the conversation. Listen in to learn more!
