How does the care of our pets affect and reflect the health of our communities? For this episode, we discussed the impact of human and companion animal relationships with several guests: veterinarian and Assistant Professor of Community Medicine in the Department of Veterinary Clinicals Sciences Lauren Bernstein, member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians and Vice President of the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, Cassandra Holmes (Niiwin Muck-Wa Ikwe – Four Bears Woman), Professor in the School of Public Health’s Division of Epidemiology and Community Health Dr. Pam Schreiner, and Deb Barker, who is a life-long animal lover with decades of animal training experience. We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the nature of our relationships with our pets through the lens of health. UPDATE: VeTouch is moving locations beginning at the Nov. 5th clinic to 25th and Minnehaha, a pet food shelf called People and Pets Together. Dr Bernstein wanted to share this resource with our listeners in case there is any interest in volunteering at a future clinic or need services for their pets.enAudio
