Biopsychology is one of those college majors that you probably have never heard of. Tell your parents you want a PhD in it and they might imagine you sitting in a lab doing esoteric experiments on fruit flies. My guest, Dr. Jack Lawson, dreamed of exploring the oceans and emulating Jacque Cousteau. Now he is working for the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Whether it is studying sea lions, leatherback turtles, whales or other species at risk, his findings will help enlighten all of us on how to help protect our big blue planet.

This Pet Doctor show is a continuation of my adventures in Newfoundland Canada. Hi, I am Dr. Bernadine Cruz. I will be speaking with two of the province’s champion breeders of the Newfoundland dog and Labrador retriever. These animals are such an important part of their culture that if you visit St. John’s Harbourside Park, you will find two lifesized bronze statues of the province’s iconic mascots. I also sat down with a local shelter veterinarian to discuss the challenges and joys of practicing medicine in the oldest city in North America.

Summer vacation...just the words can conjure images of exploring exotic locales replete with warm breezes, fabulous scenery and experiences of a life time; sunny California, Florida, Hawaii or Europe- but Newfoundland? Where is Newfoundland? Why would anyone want to go there?
Over the next several weeks, I am going to share some of the adventures my travel companion, my 13 year old granddaughter, Lauryn and I experienced. Lauryn and I floated out of Bay Bulls, just south of St John’s on a catamaran owned by my guest, Michael Gatherall.

Some people are fascinated by them. Others experience abject fear at the sight of one. The Chinese calendar celebrated them in 2013 as thoughtful, wise and focused on detail. The creature in question- the snake. It is estimated by the American Veterinary Medical Association that over 1 million snakes are kept as pets in the U.S. They are gorgeous, can be a challenge to care for, come with a unique set of health concerns and often a hefty price tag.
My guest is Dr. Elliott Jacobson, professor emeritus at the University Of Florida School Of Veterinary Medicine. He has spent his veterinary career advancing the health and welfare of captive and wild reptile and amphibians.

You’ve seen the YouTube videos, the dog destroying the couch cushions, the cat stalking and terrorizing its feline housemate... they seem funny enough until you realize these pets aren’t enjoying themselves and they aren’t being mischievous. They are stressed out and acting out. They are also reaching out for help in the only way they know how.
Life seems pretty cushy if you are one of the estimated 75 million dogs and 85 million cats in the United States. What would make a pet stressed? What are the signs? Are there long term consequences of being a wigged out Westie? What can you do about it? My guest is Dr. Brian McLaughlin. He will answer these questions and reveal how a nutraceutical may make your anxious Abyssinian purr.

How do you know if your pet is experiencing a medical emergency and should be seen by a veterinarian? If you think it is an emergency, then it is one. Don’t wait - don’t play amateur veterinarian and scour the internet for the answer. Don’t call your best friend and see what they have to say. It is better to be cautious rather than have matters worsen. Problems caught early are typically easier to treat, have a better outcome and cost less to manage.
My guest today knows all about emergencies. Dr. Heather Mineo not only works at referral animal hospital, one with a variety of specialists but is one of a handful of veterinarians in the United States who is a criticalist- board certified in veterinary emergency and critical care.
