This podcast began as a dream for Dr. Alice Novotny Jeromin, a board-certified doctor of veterinary medicine with a specialization in dermatology and allergy. She wanted to provide pet owners with accurate information so that they could be the best owners. In her private practice she was faced with owners who had misinformation in the care of their beloved pets. She saw a podcast as an opportunity to partner with her sister, Janet Novotny King, as an average pet owner, rescuer and lover to answer pet questions simply, with a sense of humor and most importantly, with top notch field experts.
Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist and co-host of Speaking of Pets. With over three decades of clinical experience, Dr. Alice brings trusted veterinary expertise and a passion for educating pet owners through clear, evidence-based guidance.
