Burned Out in Vet Med? This New Show Gets Real About It – And You’re Not Alone 52% are dealing with it right now
Veterinary medicine just got a fresh new voice. Meet Vet Candy Pop — a vibrant, real-talk show hosted by two of the industry's most dynamic rising stars, Dr. Elan Armstrong and Dr. Shannon Gregoire. Designed for the modern vet professional, Vet Candy Pop dives deep into the topics that matter most — no sugarcoating, no fluff, just honest conversations and expert insight.
In its debut episode, Vet Candy Pop takes on one of the most pressing issues in the veterinary world: burnout. With warmth, wit, and real-life experiences, Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Gregoire break down the emotional toll of veterinary work — from impossible caseloads to compassion fatigue — and explore strategies to protect mental health while staying passionate about the profession.
"Veterinary medicine is more than medicine. It's emotional, it's physical, and sometimes, it’s overwhelming," says Dr. Armstrong. "We wanted to create a space where we could talk about that — out loud."
Adding her voice to the conversation is renowned veterinary behaviorist Dr. Wailani Sung, who offers an eye-opening look at separation anxiety in pets — a growing concern for both pet owners and veterinarians. Her insights provide a much-needed clinical angle to a topic that impacts not just animals, but the people who care for them.
The episode also features a spotlight on Reconcile®, a daily chewable tablet for dogs with separation anxiety. Created by PRN Pharmaceuticals, Reconcile is a trusted solution that helps pets feel calm and connected — even when their humans can’t be home. Learn more at reconcile.com.
With a fresh format, fearless topics, and heartfelt humor, Vet Candy Pop is setting a new standard for veterinary media — one candid conversation at a time.
