Pet Care

Maine Public

Warmer weather means more opportunities for your dog to be out in the elements—for better or for worse. Our panel of veterinarians will discuss common summertime concerns, including ticks, water safety, heat and sun danger—outdoors and inside vehicles—wildlife encounters, and diseases to watch out for. They will also address what to know about the loss of a pet, and what steps to take before and after a beloved animal’s death.

Panelists:
Dr. Ezra Steinberg, veterinarian & board-certified surgeon, Maine Veterinary Medical Center
Dr. Oonagh Wack, veterinarian, Falmouth Veterinary Hospital
Animal Welfare Society
Dr. Jesse Therrien, staff veterinarian, Animal Welfare Society Community Veterinary Clinic; owner, At Peace Vet Home Euthanasia

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.
