The pandemic spurred both an increase in pet adoptions, and an increase in time families were able to spend with their pets. But as people return to worksites, pets must adapt to not having a human around all the time. Our panel of veterinarians will discuss pet anxiety, tick season, summer heat, and other news from the world of veterinary care.

Panelists: Ezra Steinberg, Maine Veterinary Medical Center

Christine D. Calder, veterinary behaviorist, Calder Veterinary Behavior Services

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
