So, along with an insane exercise program I have just begun, I have decided to start my hobby of baking. Now, I’m only talking about making a Bundt cake every so often or a coffee cake to take to work or such. I’m not talking about changing professions or starting the next Nabisco, because I [...]

It makes me laugh when I hear 4 and 5 year old children talk about wanting to become a veget…vetrim…veteriminary…doctor for animals. I think at that age I wanted to be an engineer. That promptly changed in high school when I took my first part time job as a veterinary assistant (and I decided that I really disliked [...]

I saw a client of mine the other day that really embodies what the average pet owner thinks about pet insurance… not that there was any negativity by any means. She was a very concerned and lovely young woman who loves her dog and would do anything for him. She just didn’t know much [...]

Sometimes I get forwarded a must see picture email from a friend or family member that, against my better judgment, I find irresistable and just have to open. (Remember the digitally altered photo of the great white shark jumping up out of the water attacking the helicopter?) Ok. I’ll be honest. I am a sucker for those pics. Yes, the [...]

Being a veterinarian is so much more complicated than just treating sick animals. The job title should really read Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, detective, forensic expert, animal psychic, counsellor, and psychologist. I still laugh when people suggest that one goes into veterinary medicine because he/she loves animals and doesn’t like working with people. The reality [...]
My brother Jim emailed me yesterday and told me about something that was bothering him. It seems he was watching The Today Show and they had a Consumer Reports segment on “tip-offs” and “rip-offs”. What got him upset was that they really ripped up the whole pet insurance industry as a big waste of money. [...]
With some gentle prodding by our good friend Robert at Blue Ion, our website development team and internet gurus, we are starting to get the hang of blogging on a regular basis. Both AJ and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the ENTIRE crew at Blue Ion that brought this website (and our [...]
Well, the story of why I’m part of making the world better through pet insurance starts with a dog named Luke… my nephew.
I was there at the rescue shelter when my sister-in-law and husband (is he my brother-in-law-second-removed?…I get confused about that sort of thing.) picked Luke. Luke was the cutest, dirtiest, craziest, and quite [...]
Probably one of the most common questions I get asked by veterinarians and clients alike is “why did you decide to start your own pet insurance company?” I have been in private practice for 12 years now and any vet will tell you that there are always a handful of clients or stories that are impossible [...]
