Stop Eat First, Sick Later with an App
It’s a feeling…eyes boring into your very soul. You are helpless. You are compelled to follow the commands that are flooding into your consciousness. Your hand trembles as you reach for something that could have dire consequences. Who is controlling your actions? Some nefarious predator? No. It is your cat or dog is trying to con you out of something from your plate. A little bit won’t hurt…or will it? Maybe your pet isn’t feeling well and you want to avoid a trip to the veterinarians…if you take something when you have the same symptoms, why not give it to your pet? A little bit won’t hurt…or will it?
Now there is an app that is easy to use, reliable and answers your questions about what you can and shouldn’t give your pet. It was created by my guest, veterinarian Dr. Mari Delaney.
BIO:
I am originally from Newton. NJ. I grew up in Middletown, NY. I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian from age eleven. I received my B.S. with honors from Cornell University in 1988 and my DVM degree from the New York State College of Veterinary medicine at Cornell in 1992.
I pursued a PhD in molecular virology, but realized that academic life was not for me. I began practicing small animal and exotic veterinary medicine in 1995 in Elmira, NY. In 2001 I began my own house call practice, Compassionate Companion Care. My practice has grown into a full service veterinary hospital. And I am fortunate to have an amazing staff who embody the clinic name.
I have been interested in computers and digital technology since my high school days. The VetProtect app grew from a thought I had while treating a patient with Aleve toxicity. The though was, 'there must be an app to prevent this'.
