What if your next patient wasn't a dog, cat… or even remotely domesticated? In this very special April Fools episode of Your Vet Wants You to Know, we welcome Dr. Dave, a highly specialized (and highly questionable) expert in Sasquatch husbandry, preservation, and general care. From navigating dense woodland "practice settings" to treating elusive, blur-prone patients, this episode explores what it might take to care for the most mysterious mammal on earth. Along the way, we discuss the unique behavioral traits of Sasquatch, creative (and ethically debatable) capture techniques, and the surprising "medical conditions" that may affect these legendary creatures. While this episode leans heavily into humor, it also offers a lighthearted reflection on real veterinary challenges—like patient compliance, diagnostic limitations, and the creative problem-solving required in clinical practice. Listener discretion advised… especially if you believe everything you hear. 😉 Our vision is for Your Vet Wants You to Know to be a resource for veterinarians to improve client communication by introducing a discussion about a common topic during the vet visit, then directing the client to a reliable source of engaging, understandable, and accessible information. By doing so, we strive for: 1) increased pet health literacy among pet owners, 2) improved partnership between clients and the veterinary team, 3) improved medical outcomes for pets, and 4) improved quality of life and efficiency for veterinarians.
