Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Eight forty one thirteen ten wib and asked the experts
- 0:05Speaker 1: in studio this morning with doctor Marty Greer. Of course.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Doctor Greer comes to us from check out veterinary, of course,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and doctor Greer was the Veterinarian of the Year with
- 0:13Speaker 1: Westminster Kennel Club and great honor. It's always great to
- 0:17Speaker 1: have the doctor in studio. Doc, how you doing this morning.
- 0:20Speaker 2: I'm doing great. What beautiful weather we have.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It is great weather for and we've got great forecast
- 0:26Speaker 1: as well. Great if you got your puppy, like, get
- 0:29Speaker 1: him out and get him for a walk or her
- 0:30Speaker 1: for a walk, a good time to do that. I've
- 0:34Speaker 1: known cats. I actually had a cat that used to
- 0:36Speaker 1: go for walks, but they generally just like like a
- 0:38Speaker 1: cracked window and maybe just kind of taken some of
- 0:40Speaker 1: that breeze best place.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, cats aren't usually the kind that you can
- 0:44Speaker 2: go out on long walks or jogging or some of
- 0:47Speaker 2: those things. My sister used to take hers camping with her, okay,
- 0:50Speaker 2: until the tent blew away with the cats in it.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Oh no, that didn't turn out right. No, she caught
- 0:54Speaker 2: the tent, but it was it was a startling. So yeah,
- 0:57Speaker 2: cats are not that outdoorsy, and.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I think it's a control thing with them too. I
- 1:01Speaker 1: don't know that they like the idea that they're on
- 1:03Speaker 1: something that somebody else. They're a little independent, yeah.
- 1:07Speaker 2: They are, but they also are creatures of habit. They
- 1:10Speaker 2: want things to be the same, like if you move
- 1:11Speaker 2: their football.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is. We're actually going to talk about
- 1:17Speaker 1: tis the season for a lot of cats making kittens,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and we're going to find out and having kittens. We'll
- 1:23Speaker 1: get the details from the doctor and just a moment
- 1:25Speaker 1: on that. Other things as well. We started a conversation
- 1:27Speaker 1: last week about pet insurance and I felt think we
- 1:29Speaker 1: just scratched the surface. I know that because the second
- 1:32Speaker 1: we turned off the mics last week, I started asking
- 1:34Speaker 1: a million questions of doctor Greer. I thought, you know what,
- 1:36Speaker 1: we should get more into it, so we'll cover all
- 1:39Speaker 1: then so much more. As mentioned, Doctor Greer comes to
- 1:42Speaker 1: us from checkout Veterinary the website checkout vet dot com.
- 1:46Speaker 1: That's checkout vet dot com. I urge you to stop
- 1:48Speaker 1: by there today. It's an amazing concept. You and your
- 1:51Speaker 1: pets get in the car, you drive into the bay,
- 1:53Speaker 1: baby comes down. Doctors can see your pet right inside
- 1:57Speaker 1: the car right in that area, so you don't have
- 1:59Speaker 1: to worry about taking them out of the car. They're
- 2:00Speaker 1: comfortable going back to cats in an environment and smells
- 2:04Speaker 1: and faces that they're familiar with. It's a really, really
- 2:06Speaker 1: cool model. You can learn more online at checkout vet
- 2:09Speaker 1: dot com. First visit it is free. There open every
- 2:13Speaker 1: day of the week nine am until five pm except Thursdays,
- 2:15Speaker 1: but that includes there open and available to you on
- 2:18Speaker 1: weekends as well, because it always seems that's when your
- 2:21Speaker 1: kiddies and puppies get in the most trouble is weekends.
- 2:24Speaker 1: It always seems to have that way.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Yeah, just like kids.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask as far as pets that
- 2:31Speaker 1: you're able to treat, obviously, we focus primarily on cats
- 2:34Speaker 1: and dogs. Is that really kind of the main wheelhouse
- 2:36Speaker 1: for checkout vet?
- 2:37Speaker 2: It is primarily. Yes, we do sometimes some other little
- 2:40Speaker 2: furry things, Yeah, but we typically don't do feathers and scales,
- 2:44Speaker 2: so we tend to stick to for so ferrets, rabbits,
- 2:48Speaker 2: you know, fuzzy thanks, hamsters.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Gerbils do do ferrets, and I've known people with ferrets
- 2:54Speaker 1: over the years, and I see them. I'll be at
- 2:56Speaker 1: the pet store picking up some dog treats or something
- 2:58Speaker 1: they've always got. The ferrets, they seem like mischievous little
- 3:02Speaker 1: little critters.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're really entertaining and absolutely adorable. But they
- 3:07Speaker 2: are a bit mischievous and they're sort of slinky, like
- 3:10Speaker 2: it's slinky. They can get into things you have no
- 3:12Speaker 2: idea that they can get into, like into your couch,
- 3:15Speaker 2: like into the inside of your couch. Yeah, and they
- 3:18Speaker 2: like to eat foam, like foam cushions, and that causes obstructions.
- 3:23Speaker 2: So it's pretty serious when they do those things. It
- 3:25Speaker 2: can really cause them to be very sick and sometimes
- 3:28Speaker 2: end up either eating surgery or not realizing that it's
- 3:31Speaker 2: going on and losing them. So ferrets are sort of
- 3:34Speaker 2: tricky little creatures, but they're they're great. They have a
- 3:36Speaker 2: little bit of an odd smell, but they're very entertaining.
- 3:39Speaker 2: You just want to be really careful. They are not
- 3:41Speaker 2: recommended in households with small children, so kind of be
- 3:44Speaker 2: careful what age your kids are if you're thinking about
- 3:47Speaker 2: a ferret. Rats actually make better pets than ferrets for
- 3:51Speaker 2: smaller kids. And I know rats are kind of like
- 3:54Speaker 2: ooh not everybody's crazy about the thought of having a rat.
- 3:57Speaker 2: But they are very social. Really, you can train them
- 4:01Speaker 2: to do all kinds of cool stuff, and so they
- 4:03Speaker 2: do make great pets and they're great in classrooms as well.
- 4:06Speaker 2: So with school coming up, we need to start thinking
- 4:08Speaker 2: about what's in the classroom.
- 4:10Speaker 1: That's a great idn't even thought about for classroom pets.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And my neighbor had a pet ratch when we were kids.
- 4:16Speaker 1: She named it Rattus and it was the coolest little
- 4:19Speaker 1: little creature. And you mentioned they're very smart, they're very
- 4:23Speaker 1: they you know that hers was like sitting on her
- 4:25Speaker 1: shoulder and like, yeah, it's very really interesting stuff. This
- 4:29Speaker 1: week going back to fair, it's not like and they
- 4:31Speaker 1: get into things, they can also get out of things,
- 4:34Speaker 1: so you want to make sure you got a really
- 4:35Speaker 1: good enclosure. So we started talking pet insurance last week.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I'm just a bit of a background for folks that
- 4:41Speaker 1: may have missed last week's show. You can always head
- 4:42Speaker 1: on over to WIBA dot com check out the podcast
- 4:46Speaker 1: there as well as iHeartRadio. But pet insurance has come
- 4:49Speaker 1: a long way and there's a lot more offerings now
- 4:52Speaker 1: than there used to be, aren't there. Doctor?
- 4:54Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's new companies all the time, and I'm
- 4:56Speaker 2: a little bit reluctant to jump on board with most
- 4:59Speaker 2: new companies because you want to be a company that
- 5:01Speaker 2: has enough of a track record that you feel like
- 5:03Speaker 2: fifteen years from now when your pet is aging, that
- 5:06Speaker 2: you're still going to have them there. So you do
- 5:08Speaker 2: want to be careful with that. The exception of that
- 5:10Speaker 2: is probably going to be rain Walk because they have
- 5:13Speaker 2: some people and their staff that have been in the
- 5:15Speaker 2: pet industry pet insurance industry for a long time. But
- 5:18Speaker 2: in general, I think that sticking to a company that
- 5:20Speaker 2: has a track record that you know is going to
- 5:23Speaker 2: be there, that's good on the phone when you call them.
- 5:26Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people do their research online,
- 5:30Speaker 2: which I think is a great idea, but talking to
- 5:33Speaker 2: people sometimes can be really important for you to grasp
- 5:37Speaker 2: what they're going to do for you, what they can't do.
- 5:39Speaker 2: You know what the limitations are because not all the
- 5:41Speaker 2: insurances cover all the same things, So you want to
- 5:43Speaker 2: do a little bit of investigation before you jump on
- 5:47Speaker 2: board with an insurance company.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Ken Ken Talking with your vet give you some ideas
- 5:51Speaker 1: as well. Obviously you experience folks with pet insurance regularly.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Is that that a good conversation to be having.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it sure is. And actually, on Tuesday this week,
- 6:01Speaker 2: I had a veterinary ann as a client. She's a
- 6:05Speaker 2: boarded specialist, so she doesn't do most of her own
- 6:09Speaker 2: veterinary care, and she has pet insurance on her dog,
- 6:12Speaker 2: and she was telling me how thankful she was for that,
- 6:15Speaker 2: because she's had this dog in at least four different
- 6:18Speaker 2: veterinary school hospitals in the course of his last year
- 6:22Speaker 2: of illness. She travels quite a bit with the dogs,
- 6:25Speaker 2: and she's been in Colorado, in Missouri, Minnesota, and I
- 6:29Speaker 2: believe Iowa, so she's been frequenting them. She's like, I
- 6:33Speaker 2: don't want to make it a habit of making the
- 6:35Speaker 2: tour of all the veterinary schools. But even with her
- 6:39Speaker 2: income and her experience and all that she can provide
- 6:43Speaker 2: for her own pets care, she's absolutely pounding her fist
- 6:46Speaker 2: on the table, saying you need to have pet insurance.
- 6:49Speaker 2: It saved her dog multiple times in the last year.
- 6:52Speaker 1: That's really important to think about as well. As we
- 6:54Speaker 1: talked this morning with doctor Marty Greer. Of course, doctor
- 6:56Speaker 1: Greer comes to us from Checkout Veterinary, the website checkout
- 6:59Speaker 1: vet dot com. That's checkout vet dot com. Great resource
- 7:03Speaker 1: to learn more about checkout Veterinary. Of course, they've got
- 7:05Speaker 1: the clinic right in sun Prairie open every day of
- 7:08Speaker 1: the week except for Thursdays. But they are open nine
- 7:10Speaker 1: to five nine am to five pm Monday through Wednesday,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and then Friday through Sunday. Again that includes weekends as well.
- 7:16Speaker 1: You can learn more on the website checkout vet dot com.
- 7:20Speaker 1: How does it work? Then? I think a lot of
- 7:22Speaker 1: us think, and this was part of our conversation last week,
- 7:25Speaker 1: is as we were walking out the door, is I
- 7:27Speaker 1: think of like, as a human, my health insurance I
- 7:30Speaker 1: give when you go into the clinic, you give them
- 7:32Speaker 1: your health insurance card and it kind of works through there.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Pen insurance works a little bit different, doesn't it.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Yes, In general, I believe Trupanion is the only company
- 7:40Speaker 2: that will do a direct pay to your veterinarian while
- 7:43Speaker 2: you're still at the clinic. So you definitely want to
- 7:47Speaker 2: look into that. And so you do want to have
- 7:49Speaker 2: the ability to have enough cash flow on your credit
- 7:51Speaker 2: card that you can fund it until a month later
- 7:54Speaker 2: when the credit card company gets or when the insurance
- 7:57Speaker 2: company credits you for it. And one of the other
- 7:59Speaker 2: suggest us that we have for people is that they
- 8:01Speaker 2: apply for something like care credit or scratch pay whatever
- 8:04Speaker 2: their veterinary clinic takes, so they have that credit card
- 8:07Speaker 2: to pay for the bill until the insurance company takes over.
- 8:11Speaker 2: The insurance companies don't typically cover one hundred percent. They
- 8:14Speaker 2: make cover eighty percent. They may cover ninety percent, and
- 8:16Speaker 2: they typically handle the catastrophic things injuries, you know, falling
- 8:21Speaker 2: down the stairs, getting hit by a car, eating something
- 8:24Speaker 2: that you shouldn't, some kind of a toxicity. They don't
- 8:26Speaker 2: typically cover the vaccinations and the heartworm, flea and tigments.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Those are things that you know are going to come up.
- 8:31Speaker 2: You can budget for those, so the insurance companies don't
- 8:34Speaker 2: want to fund that because it's going to make your
- 8:37Speaker 2: insurance premium so high that it's not going to be feasible.
- 8:40Speaker 2: But for the other stuff, that's what we really need
- 8:43Speaker 2: to have these policies for, is for that accident, that injury,
- 8:47Speaker 2: that illness that happens. Some of them cover cancer, some
- 8:51Speaker 2: of them don't. Some of them cover inherited diseases like
- 8:54Speaker 2: hip displasia and elbow displasia, some of them don't. So
- 8:57Speaker 2: those are the things that you want to check out
- 8:59Speaker 2: based on what breeds you have, what age your dog is.
- 9:01Speaker 2: You want to really investigate this before you decide. And
- 9:05Speaker 2: there are websites that compare insurance companies, and like I said,
- 9:08Speaker 2: calling them is a really good idea kind of look through.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Pick out two or three that you're going to call.
- 9:12Speaker 2: You don't have to call thirty because there are that many,
- 9:15Speaker 2: but pick out two or three that you want to
- 9:17Speaker 2: talk to and make sure that you like the way
- 9:19Speaker 2: they handle their customer service and that they're covering the
- 9:22Speaker 2: kind of things that you have concerns about based on
- 9:24Speaker 2: what you know about your pet. And of course, like
- 9:27Speaker 2: our insurance, it doesn't cover pre existing So yesterday I
- 9:31Speaker 2: had a client that we've been working with for the
- 9:33Speaker 2: last two months making a diagnosis and a treatment plan
- 9:35Speaker 2: for and she said, well, can I get insurance? And
- 9:37Speaker 2: I said, no, it's too late for you now. So
- 9:39Speaker 2: as soon as you walk in the door and that
- 9:41Speaker 2: record is started on your pet and they know that
- 9:44Speaker 2: you have this condition, that's going to be exempted. So
- 9:47Speaker 2: the time to get your insurance is when your pet
- 9:49Speaker 2: is as young as possible, because they have fewer chances
- 9:52Speaker 2: of preexisting conditions. If they're babies, they don't have it.
- 9:56Speaker 2: And in fact, some of our breeders will already have
- 9:58Speaker 2: insurance coverage for their for puppies and AKC. If you
- 10:02Speaker 2: have an AKC registered dog. When you get your puppy
- 10:05Speaker 2: and the registration goes through AKC, they'll send you an
- 10:07Speaker 2: email and say we have thirty days at free insurance.
- 10:10Speaker 2: And I believe Truepanion does a thirty day insurance for
- 10:12Speaker 2: free as well, so that's a chance for you to
- 10:14Speaker 2: kind of take it for a test drive. And of
- 10:16Speaker 2: course that's when stuff happens is in the first thirty days.
- 10:19Speaker 2: You get a new puppy and you don't realize that
- 10:22Speaker 2: your kids drop the Xilotol candy on the floor, or
- 10:25Speaker 2: that you forgot to cover up the electric cord, or
- 10:29Speaker 2: you know all the other things that puppies get into
- 10:32Speaker 2: because puppies are puppies are puppies, and they're they're busy.
- 10:35Speaker 2: When you get a new puppy, it's like a new baby.
- 10:37Speaker 2: You need to get on the floor and crawl around
- 10:38Speaker 2: and look to see what they're going to get into.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Because they will get into here, right, they'll get into everything.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Talking this Morning with Doctor Marty Greer. Of course, Doctor
- 10:46Speaker 1: Greer comes to us from Checkout Veterinaria. The website check
- 10:49Speaker 1: out vet dot com. All one word check out vet
- 10:52Speaker 1: dot com. The telephone number six so eight to three
- 10:53Speaker 1: one eight sixty seven hundred. That's three one eight sixty
- 10:56Speaker 1: seven hundred. Again, best place to learn more is online
- 10:59Speaker 1: check out vet dot that's check out vet dot com.
- 11:03Speaker 1: It used to be you mentioned getting pet insurance when
- 11:06Speaker 1: they were a poppy. It used to be that was
- 11:08Speaker 1: the only I think, and I could be off on this,
- 11:11Speaker 1: but I recall being told that that was the only
- 11:13Speaker 1: time you could get pet insurance. Now that's completely different.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Is yes, you can get insurance at any age. And
- 11:18Speaker 2: some do have cancer writers, some do have other things.
- 11:20Speaker 2: So again, you know, do some research, do some homework
- 11:23Speaker 2: on it, and really figure out what you want to use.
- 11:26Speaker 2: See what your veterinary clinic recommends, what they're most comfortable with,
- 11:29Speaker 2: what they've had the best experiences with, because if they've
- 11:32Speaker 2: had to fill up paperwork multiple times because insurance companies
- 11:35Speaker 2: don't want to cover something, that's really important information for
- 11:38Speaker 2: you to have before you make that decision.
- 11:40Speaker 1: One final question on this, do any of them require
- 11:43Speaker 1: like a pre screen or a pre pre insurance physical
- 11:47Speaker 1: type thing.
- 11:47Speaker 2: They'll want to see your medical records from your previous
- 11:50Speaker 2: visit in most cases, so they don't send you in
- 11:53Speaker 2: for a pre screen, but they're going to want to
- 11:54Speaker 2: see the records before they'll issue the policy again to
- 11:57Speaker 2: make sure that there isn't something pre existing, because they don't.
- 12:00Speaker 2: You know, if your dogs had three ear infections, they're
- 12:02Speaker 2: not going to cover ear infections. So you want to
- 12:04Speaker 2: just understand if your dog eats tennis balls once a month, yeah,
- 12:08Speaker 2: you got a problem, so you aren't going to get
- 12:11Speaker 2: coverage for things like that.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Really great guidance and great information from doctor Marty Greer.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Of course, doctor gear comes to us from Checkout Veterinary

- 13:29Speaker 1: intro music by the way, for folks that well, we'll
- 13:31Speaker 1: do it actually really quick right now. That is a
- 13:34Speaker 1: very for folks that have pets. Should be a really
- 13:37Speaker 1: good song for them. And their pets. Shuldn't it be?
- 13:39Speaker 2: It? Sure is. It's Jimmy Buffett's Love Me Like My Dog.
- 13:42Speaker 2: And if you haven't listened to it, and you especially
- 13:44Speaker 2: if you have any conflict with your spouse about pet ownership,
- 13:49Speaker 2: this is a It's got some really great lines in it,
- 13:52Speaker 2: some of which we cannot repeat in already. They're pretty funny.
- 13:57Speaker 2: And his comparison is you know that his wife doesn't
- 14:01Speaker 2: love him like that.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the reason why we faded down when we do.
- 14:06Speaker 1: It's very clever, very funny, and a really enjoyable song.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Definitely check that out. Speaking of very clever, very funny,
- 14:12Speaker 1: and very enjoyable. Kitties are always all those things rolled
- 14:16Speaker 1: into one. They're just fantastic pets. They also like to
- 14:22Speaker 1: recreate approcreate quite a bit, especially strays become an issue.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Do you guys get calls from folks saying, we have
- 14:29Speaker 1: a barn cat or a backyard cat that how it's
- 14:32Speaker 1: got kittens? What should I do?
- 14:34Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, the first place that we start with this
- 14:36Speaker 2: is they call us and they say, well, it's really
- 14:38Speaker 2: not my cat. You say, well, tell me about it,
- 14:41Speaker 2: and they say, well, I've been feeding her for the
- 14:42Speaker 2: last four weeks and you're like, well, then it's your cat.
- 14:45Speaker 2: I've been feeding her for the last four years. She's
- 14:47Speaker 2: really your cat. And some cats will make rounds in
- 14:49Speaker 2: the neighborhood and just eat at multiple homes and that
- 14:52Speaker 2: makes it a little bit confusing on who's responsible for
- 14:55Speaker 2: the cat's care if something comes up. So, yes, we
- 14:58Speaker 2: see a lot of those people, but are always in
- 15:00Speaker 2: denial because they don't they don't want to pay the
- 15:02Speaker 2: bill and they think somehow that if they come in
- 15:05Speaker 2: and say, it's not my cat, it's the neighborhood cat.
- 15:07Speaker 2: But you know, we're going to be able to comp
- 15:08Speaker 2: them for it, and honestly we can't. If you've been
- 15:11Speaker 2: feeding the cat and the cat has something that needs
- 15:13Speaker 2: help with, then you're going to have to make that
- 15:15Speaker 2: decision before you go in that your veterinary clinic is
- 15:17Speaker 2: going to need some compensation for whatever care they need.
- 15:21Speaker 2: But yes, there's kind of two tease, two seasons of
- 15:24Speaker 2: the year that we see kittens spring and fall, and
- 15:27Speaker 2: here we are we're kind of at that point. Cats
- 15:29Speaker 2: are seasonally polyestrous, meaning that they come into heat every
- 15:33Speaker 2: three weeks. If they're not bred, they'll come back into
- 15:36Speaker 2: heat and give another chance, and another chance and another chance.
- 15:38Speaker 2: So cats are very prolific. On occasion, you'll even have
- 15:42Speaker 2: as many as three letters a year out of one female.
- 15:44Speaker 2: So if you have outdoor cats, male or female, it's
- 15:48Speaker 2: a great idea to get them caught, you know, if
- 15:51Speaker 2: you're feeding them anyway, feed them in a cage, get
- 15:53Speaker 2: them caught, take them in, get them spade or neutered,
- 15:56Speaker 2: and then you can return them to your neighborhood. Because
- 15:58Speaker 2: those cat populations Spain and neuter tend to be a
- 16:01Speaker 2: closed population. New cats tend not to move into those populations.
- 16:04Speaker 2: They tend to just stay that group of cats, and
- 16:07Speaker 2: so it kind of wards off other cats moving into
- 16:10Speaker 2: the area. So it can cut down the population.
- 16:13Speaker 1: And we talk about, you know, with the with these
- 16:16Speaker 1: outside cats or these neighborhood cats or or you know
- 16:18Speaker 1: that everyone's like, oh, it's not my The importance of
- 16:21Speaker 1: having them spade or neutered is we're talking here. But
- 16:24Speaker 1: you also think about, you know, at some point the
- 16:27Speaker 1: the food and other things out underdoes the pet popularly
- 16:32Speaker 1: end up with very sick and very tragic things happen
- 16:35Speaker 1: to those kitties, So definitely something to be aware of,
- 16:38Speaker 1: of course, as we talked this morning with doctor Marty Greer,
- 16:40Speaker 1: the website check out vet dot com. That's check out
