Hello everyone! This is Krista with Episode #128 on the Wag Out Loud Pawdcast. Listen to this: Analysts with Morgan Stanley believe the pet industry in the United States may reach $275 billion by 2030, and that’s up from $118 billion in 2019.

Welcome dog lovers! Let's learn something new today from Dr. Zac Pilossoph, who is going to share natural Cushing's control. Dr. Zac, we so appreciate you being with us today. Why don't you introduce yourself? And tell us how you came to be one of the premier global veterinary cannabis educational experts.

Yeah, absolutely. So first off, I'm super excited to be here today. It's such a great platform, the amount of people that have been inspired and, and educated from this one platform alone is, is really quite amazing. So I'm happy to be on here. And so yeah, so essentially, I'm one of the newer generation vets kind of breaking out of the box a little bit, it's been a quick, gradual process. And that's, you know, obviously an oxymoron. You know, sometimes we think like you're moving slow, but there's just so much to know, outside of school that you need to, you know, you have to be a lifelong learner, no matter what your profession is, I guess.
