Show notes

To heal, inspire, and educate.

These are just three of the many goals Dr. Meghan Barrett has!

As an integrative veterinarian, she is on a mission to provide a balanced approach of both science-based medical practice and the art of healing. For this University of Hawaii and Colorado State University (CSU) veterinary school graduate, making animals feel better includes things like acupuncture, rehabilitation, bodywork, real food, and so much more.

Like her marine animal veterinarian godmother before her, she is committed to maximizing health and minimizing pain and suffering of animals – using whatever methods are best for them.

Vet Candy is thrilled to speak with Dr. Barrett today. She tells us about the change she would like to see in the world, plus shares some insight on her new book, from Basic to Bougie!

21 Questions with Dr. Ivan Zakharenkov Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Every veterinarian has experienced burnout at one time or another. It is one of the biggest pressures on the industry, alongside student debt and suicide rates. After 12 years as an ER veterinarian, Dr. Ivan Zakharenkov was among the many veterinarians who are so burned out, they knew a change was the only option.

After so many years fighting to save animals on the frontlines, Dr. Ivan made the switch from helping animals, to helping other veterinarians. He chose to create a company instead with the focus on helping vet offices prevent burnout in the workplace.

That's why he created Galaxy Vets- a veterinary group committed to providing access to care for pets when and where they need it while supporting the mental health and well-being of our healthcare teams.

21 Questions with Dr. Fabian Rivers, the Dready Vet Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

As a child, did you ask lots of questions?

For many veterinary professionals, a desire to know how things worked (such as biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) came naturally when we were young. In fact, a love of learning is needed to grow and constantly improve in this field. There is always a new technology or device to try, an emerging medication to explore, and cutting-edge surgical procedure to practice.

For Dr. Fabian Rivers, curiosity played a large role in his success.

When asked what three qualities most contributed to his achievements, he answered with “curiosity, community, and composure.”

Quite fittingly, his mission is to, “Remain curious about life.”

On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we meet the amazing Dready Vet, Dr. Fabian Rivers, and he tells us about his love for vegan goat curry and how he had to explain to "Megatron's" pet parent that he was actually a she!

We love you for listening!

21 Questions with Dr. Greg Shaw Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

Veterinarian. Musician. Author. Actor.

Those are the titles Dr. Greg is known for. And though he serves on multiple boards as a consultant as well as a mentor for aspiring veterinarians, he also understands that there’s more to life than just “work.”

In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that most veterinarians work full time, often clocking more than 40 hours per week – including nights and weekends. That’s a whole lot of time dedicated to caring for others. As such, vets need to be careful not to lose their sense of self and become consumed by work identities.

Remember, you are more than your job!

Dr. Shaw explains:

“My mission in life is to inspire the world to dream in a way that transcends professional or societal norms and to create your own path and own who you were created to be. Your purpose. Your dreams. Your way.”

On this episode of 21 Questions with Vet Candy, we learn about the time Dr. Greg bought a ticket to Thailand on a whim and how if he had a time machine, he would use it to go back in time to jam with Charlie Parker.
