SELLEST OSAST
In this episode of Why Do Pets Matter, I sit down with the incomparable Dr. Adam Christman, Chief Veterinary Officer at dvm360, podcaster, content creator, and proud “pet parent first, veterinarian second.”
Adam shares why pets are, in his words, “living, breathing proof that connection heals” and how they turn medicine into meaning for veterinary professionals and families alike. We talk about what it really feels like to be the “other family doctor,” the emotional glue pets create in homes, and how every stabilized heartbeat or comforted patient ripples out to the people who love them.
We also dive into the tricky stuff: money conversations, Dr. Google, breeder and rescue communication, spectrum of care, and why veterinarians need to be seen as pet parents too. Adam’s stories about dachshund “wiener walks,” generational pet families, and the evolving language of “pet parents” versus “clients” will make you smile, think, and maybe see your own vet a little differently.
