Hi my dog-loving friends,
I just recorded a new episode of “Get to Know Your Vet,” and can’t wait for you to meet Dr. Lynda Loudon.
She’s an emergency vet, an end-of-life practitioner, a dog mom, and one of the few people I’d trust with my dog’s life (and mine, to be honest). In this conversation, we go way beyond the usual vet talk.
We dive into:
- What it’s really like to be an ER vet for 24+ years
- How to know when it’s “the right time” to say goodbye
- Why doing “everything right” for our dogs can actually become a heavy pressure
- The quiet, mysterious way some dogs seem to know when their vet is coming
- And why it’s not about how many days they have, but how full those days are
There were a few moments that resonated deeply with me, especially around guilt, regret, and that impossible question: “How do I know when it’s time?”
If you’ve ever laid awake worrying about your dog’s health, or replaying old decisions in your head, this episode is for you.
Grab a tea, coffee or kombucha, curl up with your pup, and listen in on this beautiful, honest conversation.
