This week on Pets Add Life, we’re coming to you live from the Western Veterinary Conference (WVC) in Las Vegas! Kristen is joined by special co-host Dr. Jeff Werber, an Emmy Award-winning veterinarian and co-founder of Airvet, to bring you expert insights on modern pet care, stress-free vet visits, and the future of veterinary medicine.
First, we sit down with Dr. Marty Becker, known as America’s Veterinarian, and Dr. Jennifer Merlo, VP of Operations at Fear Free. They share how Fear Free practices are revolutionizing vet care by reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets, and why more pet parents are seeking calmer, more compassionate veterinary experiences.
Next, we talk with Dr. Audrey Wystrach, CEO & Founder of Petfolk, a rapidly growing veterinary company designed to make vet care easier, more accessible, and modernized for today’s pet parents. Dr. Wystrach discusses integrating telehealth, same-day appointments, and flexible care options to provide a seamless pet healthcare experience.
Plus, we highlight two exciting pet products, answer listener questions about pet health and behavior, and share the latest veterinary trends shaping the future of pet wellness.
