Plant Pause 🌿

Spring medicine is growing all through the neighborhood: forsythia, violets, serviceberry, and spirea.

This kind of seasonal plant observation is part of what shapes Kindred Botanicals.

What’s growing where you are?

When your pet is stressed, you feel it too.

I'm Dr. Kim Curtis, holistic veterinarian and clinical herbalist. For years I've been making plant-based herbal formulas in my kitchen, one small batch at a time. Kindred Botanicals, herbal care for people and their pets, was born from that kitchen. Honoring the bond we share, Kindred Ease and Kindred Vitality are available now. DM to order. 💚

Useful read!

DOES YOUR PET REALLY NEED BOOSTERS EVERY YEAR? 💉

Spring means annual shots, and soon you’ll be getting that email or postcard📧 from your vet letting you know your dog or cat is due for their annual boosters.

We all want our pets protected from life threatening diseases, but did you know your pet may be carrying enough protection from their puppy and kitten shots to last a lifetime?! (Just like your childhood immunizations).

Your pets may not need to be “boosted” at all, and giving more shots to an already-immunized animal is not only a waste of money, but in worst case scenarios, may cause serious immune issues of all types.

In today’s Inside Scoop episode, immunologist and titer expert Dr. Laurie Larson will be joining us to discuss pet vaccinations and titers, including:

🔥Why it is important to measure antibody titers

🔥How often should you check titers

🔥Puppy and kitten vaccinations: when and what do they really need

Join Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker today at 12pm ET for this Live discussion. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments! 🙌

Dr. Laurie Larson runs the Companion Animal Vaccines and Immuno Diagnostic Service Lab and Titer Service at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and also teaches veterinary immunology.
