Have questions about your pet? You need a veterinarian.

Every week life-long pet owner Autumn talks with Dr. Chris Pagel, a Wisconsin veterinarian with years of experience in treating everything from tiny kittens to full size bears, in attempt answer pet questions and cut through the b.s.

You need a veterinarian, we have a veterinarian, but it's not your veternarian. Remember: no podcast, video, message board, chatroom, or internet search can ever replace a real life veternarian who knows your pets.

But we can probably give you some place to start.
