About the podcast
Beyond the Back is a podcast is designed for pet parents. The goal is to teach you as much as possible about the behind-the-scenes areas of veterinary clinics. Have you ever wondered what happens when your parrot goes to the treatment area to have x-rays? Have you ever wanted to know more about a diabetes in your cat? Have you ever wanted to know more about what a Veterinary Anesthesiologist does? Then this is your podcast!
We try our best to make this journey fun and lighthearted, but it is a podcast about medicine. Unfortunately, that means that sometimes things get heavy. Part of the truth has to include a roller coaster of emotion, but we want to always strive for ending on a positive note. Focusing on the positive is an important part of continuing to love the profession.
Join us as we share our experiences with you and answer the questions that we don't have time to answer as thoroughly on a daily basis!
