Dr. Marty Greer, DVM, JD - Your Pandemic Puppy on "Why Do Pets Matter?" hosted by Debra Hamilton #182

Dr. Marty Greer, DVM, JD, joins us during this episode of "Why Do Pets Matter?" She's a fantastic veterinarian, repro-vet, attorney, and breeder.

During the height of the pandemic, she wrote "Your Pandemic Puppy" -- a book covering your puppy's physical and mental well-being, as well as training and veterinary care. And, she also started a drive-thru vet practice called "Checkout Veterinary." 

She's very generously sharing information pet owners everywhere might find helpful during our conversation.
