Dr. Dennis also answers questions from callers on various pet health issues, including animal cancer (such as melanoma and chemotherapy) and whether to remove a dog's lipoma. She offers holiday safety advice, emphasizing the need to keep toxic foods like chocolate away from pets, create safe spaces for them during holiday and New Year’s celebrations, and keep essential emergency numbers, such as the ASPCA Poison Control Center, readily available. She is also joined by Paul Massa, a longtime client and devoted pet parent.
