Despite the amount we talk to our pets (c’mon, you know you do it!), they just can’t talk back. So, it’s up to us as pet caretakers to advocate for their health and well-being. Pet owners sometimes ask why it’s important to take their pets to the vet if they seem healthy. We’re here to answer that question, unpack what wellness means when it comes to your BFF, and explain the differences between proactive and reactive care.


In this episode, Hannah speaks to Dr. Meaghan Gilhooly, veterinarian and Vice President at Banfield Pet Hospital, and Mony Iyer, President of Banfield Pet Hospital. They’ll discuss preventive care and how regular vet visits can support the health of our furry friends. You’ll learn the importance of developing a relationship with your veterinary professional, and why prevention is important!


This episode also reveals the origin of Not Just Fluff (and why you should probably keep your sock drawer closed if you have a puppy at home!).


We hope you enjoy Not Just Fluff! If you find these conversations helpful, we want to hear from you! Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and let us know what you liked about the show.
