🐾 New episode: Worms & Wildlife — The Truth About Echinococcus in Alberta

That tapeworm with the scary name in the headlines? We asked Dr. Beth Barrett to break it down — no panic, just a plan. In this episode we cover what Echinococcus multilocularis actually is, why Alberta has become a hotspot, and the simple habits that keep it away from your dog and your family: wash your hands, pick up the p**p, and deworm with the right product on the right schedule.

The good news: it's rare, it's preventable, and you don't need to freak out — you just need a p**p bag, clean hands, and a deworming plan that fits your dog's life.

Some days on the job are serious. And some days, the job is a wobbly golden retriever puppy who's decided your sleeve is a chew toy. 🐾

Every first visit, every set of vaccines, every "is this normal?" question all adds up to a lifetime of keeping your best friend happy and healthy. And it starts here (belly rubs included, of course). 💚

Peak tick season is here — but it started earlier than July, and it'll run later than you think. 🐾 Dr. Beth Barrett explains why "tick season" isn't really a season anymore. 🫣

It might be time for your pet's annual tick prevention! Don't forget to book an appointment.

On the latest episode of The Independent Vet, Dr. Beth Barrett breaks down why mental engagement matters just as much for cats as it does for us (and our dogs). A stimulated cat is a happier, better-behaved cat — and yes, your shoes will thank you.

Your cat isn't lazy. Your cat is unemployed. 🐅

Under that sleepy little loaf is a hunter who — in another life — would spend the whole day stalking, climbing, and pouncing. Take that job away and hand them a bowl, and they don't get to retire. They get bored.

Bored looks like: shredded furniture. Bald patches on their belly. Peeing on your gym bag. Sprinting the hallway at 3 a.m. and knocking a glass off the counter while making eye contact.

This week Dr. Beth explains why so many feline vet visits are actually behaviour visits — and why the fix is almost never a bigger house.

Build up, not out. Make food a job. Cats plus one litter boxes. Move the cat tree.
