Purr Podcast Gets Personal: Retirement, Veterinary News, & What’s Next!

What’s new with Dr. Susan Little and Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn? In this special Purr Podcast episode, our hosts step away from their usual feline medicine discussions with guest veterinarians for a rare behind-the-scenes conversation about their veterinary careers, retirement, travel plans, new feline medications, and what they’re working on next. Dr. Little shares what’s happening at her feline-only veterinary hospitals in Ottawa, including the arrival of three newly licensed feline drugs in Canada. Dr. Kirpensteijn also reveals a major career change! After more than 12 years with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, he retired from his position and is taking time to focus on projects he enjoys, including podcasting, lectures, and his new surgical textbook. Tune in for some updates, reflection, and banter!
