About This Podcast
Hi everyone, and welcome to Val Talk’s Pets, the forum for pet parents and enthusiasts alike.

I am not a veterinarian but I do have certifications in Canine, Feline, Small Animal, Fish and Herptile and Avian Health and Nutrition from the University of California, Davis Extension. Thank you for listening to Val Talks Pets.
