Tails of Truth: The Truth about Veterinary Medicine
Welcome to Tails of Truth, the podcast where holistic veterinarian Dr. Angie Krause and her co-host, veterinary nurse JoJo, bring you candid, light-hearted conversations about pet health, veterinary medicine, and everything in-between. Whether you're a pet parent or a veterinary professional, this is your judgment-free space for real answers, practical problem-solving, and the kind of grounded guidance that helps you advocate confidently for the animals you love.

This show takes the discussion beyond the exam room and elevates the way we care for animals.
Make yourself a cup of tea and press play. This is the kind of exchange you'd want to have with a trusted friend who just happens to be a veterinarian. We're so glad you're here!
