Dr. LeCouteur emphasizes the importance of authentic representation in children's literature to foster a love for nature and conservation. He also highlights the balance between traditional and holistic veterinary approaches, drawing parallels to his educational philosophy.

There's a little known ingredient that's been quietly used in the animal health world for nearly half a century, and most pet owners have never heard of it. It's called spray dried plasma. As a veterinarian, I've used injectable plasma to support healing and calm inflammation, which is a common and overlooked cause of pet health issues. The truth is, our pets face daily inflammatory triggers like seasonal allergies, joint stress, stomach upset and even anxiety, affecting their comfort and long term health. That's why I'm so excited about WINPRO. They've taken plasma's powerful benefits, and made it available at home in soft chews, bites and powders for dogs and cats. Each plasma product provides targeted support for different areas like joint, skin, gut, dental and even mental health. Plus they have two great cat formulas, a dental bite and a plasma plus probiotic powder. Try WINPRO today at winpropet.com and use code DRJUDY for 20% off your first order.
