Do we have a prevention problem?

23 million American households acquired a pet during the COVID-19 crisis, causing an all time surge in caseloads to veterinarians across the nation. Veterinary hospitals are facing unprecedented caseloads these days. According to an article in the Boston Globe, Angell Memorial, the largest animal hospital in New England, about 10,000 additional visits are expected this year.

In this episode of Vet Candy's new show, Keeping it Real, , Dr. Michelle Moyal and Patrick Carney address the growing number of pets versus the nationwide veterinary crisis. Are pets getting the prevention they need? How can we make sure they are protected?
