Purr Podcast

Another great podcast with Eric Garcia, our own digital guru, talking social media. When you begin you should start in one specific space and Eric feels Facebook is the place to be now as more than 50% of each generation is currently on FB. He further gives some great tips on starting your own YouTube channel and why it is so important to get your own practice app where you can create your own owner community. An amazing episode!

Digital storytelling with the amazing Eric Garcia. And because Eric is being unplugged at the moment, we decided to publish this great podcast in his absence. Did you know that cat owners normally think cats rarely get sick and veterinarians often neglect cats in their hospital pictures? Eric is a digital guru and the most knowledgeable IT person in veterinary medicine at the moment

Dr. Apryl Steele explains what the American Association of Feline Practitioners stands for. The organization supports all cat veterinarians to provide the best care to cats and cat owners. We are in San Francisco, the host city of this year’s AAFP Congress focused on co-morbidities. One of the things we really like are the AAFP guidelines (catvet.com). The 2 newest guidelines are zoonosis and retroviruses. Apryl explains that AAFP also has a website that is called catfriendly.com is specially designed for cat owners. Cat-friendly practices are cat-centered clinics that as gentle as possible for cats. Soon two new programs will be launched: the professional and advocate certificate.

Currently, she is President of AAFP and CEO of the biggest shelter in Colorado. Did you know that they neuter 12000 cats per year?

We totally adore Dr. Sue.
