Hi everyone,
A fan reached out to me today to ask for their support for a petition for greater diversity of protein sources in prescription cat food designed for cats with kidney disease. I think this is a great cause, since cats with food-responsive IBD (i.e. food allergies) may not be able to eat cat food with commonly used proteins in it, and this is a life or death issue for cats with kidney disease. I was lucky to find a kidney diet that Mr. Pirate can eat despite his food-responsive IBD, but it took some work!

Hi everyone!
I'm pleased to announce that several videos have been shot and the first one should be getting published this Friday, Feb. 9th! I'm very excited to present vids on diabetes in cats, feline asthma and how to save a LOT of money while taking care of your pets. Don't forget to squish that bell notification icon so you get updated when they come out. See you soon!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Been a little quiet around here since I've been busy with my clinical practice and family in the second half of the year, but I wanted to wish all my viewers happy holidays. As you can see, Mr. Pirate is helping us decorate our little Christmas tree and thinking about all the helpful and educational videos he will star in next year.
Enjoy the holidays everyone!

Fantastic children's book illustrated with photos taken by my lead technician Mr. NJ, a painting from my older brother (circa 1979 when he was 8 years old) and a sketch from Cim. Forward by yours truly - a real collaborative project!

Will post a link to a gaming and cats podcast next week. That should tide us over until the next set of videos are ready!

Earlier this month Dr Uri raised over $30,000 for humanitarian charities working to support the people of Ukraine in their struggle for survival.
Many of you asked if there was an animal specific charity you could donate to so I reached out to some friends who have personal connections in Ukraine’s veterinary community. Here is a fundraiser for a Kyiv animal shelter that is struggling to care for an overwhelming tide of injured and starving pets who lost their humans. I have it on good authority that this is a legitimate fundraiser and would like to encourage our clients to make a donation to help care for these creatures who were soneone's beloved companion just 2 months ago.
