About this listen

 Real Vet Talk: Dogs, Cats, and Beyond takes you behind the exam room door with a real veterinarian and one curious co-host. From emergency chaos to strange anatomy, we share the raw, messy, and meaningful stories that come with caring for animals. Whether you're vet-curious, pet-obsessed, or just into bizarre medical cases, this podcast delivers unfiltered insight with empathy, grit, and the occasional gross-out. Hosted by David Oldeschulte (the loyal dog at the clinic door) and “Doc” (the cool cat with 13+ years in the field).oldeschulte Hygiene & Healthy Living Physical Illness & Disease

    Content Warning — Emergencies and Blocked Cats
    Jul 24 2025

    It's a tough one. Content warning for pet loss and graphic medical discussion. We're joined by ER vet Dr. Matt to talk about common emergencies, blocked cats, dystocia, and the kind of cases that don’t always have happy endings. There's a behind-the-scrubs story where a puppy does make it home, and we touch on how missing details in the ER can make diagnosis and treatment harder for the vet. We promise a happier episode next time.

    Episode 2: Pet Insurance and The Fluffy Fund
    Jun 16 2025

    When is pet insurance worth it, and when is it just another monthly bill?

    We talk through unexpected kidney trouble, what vet care actually costs, and how fast things can add up. Just numbers, stories, and why we recommend having a Fluffy Fund, no matter what insurance you carry.

    Episode 1: Cancer and the Cone
    May 26 2025

    A cat walks into the clinic with a small chest mass and walks out cancer-free. But the real story starts after the surgery.

    In this episode, we kick off Real Vet Talk: Dogs, Cats, and Beyond with a case that’s part medical mystery, part emotional rollercoaster, and 100% vet life. We talk tumors, surgery, pathology, client reactions, and the infamous cone of shame (aka “the cone of recovery”).
