The Dr. Molly Says Podcast
Hey friends! I’m Dr. Molly Brinkmann (@drmollysays), a small animal veterinarian, lifelong animal lover, and your go-to source for all things pet health. Welcome to The Dr. Molly Says Podcast! I’m probably already obsessed with your pet, and I want to help you understand veterinary medicine in a way that’s fun, relatable, and actually makes sense.
Each week, I’ll break down important pet care topics, debunk common myths, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at life as a vet. Because let’s be real—life is hard, but dogs help… and so does knowing how to take the best care of them. Grab your coffee (or tea), snuggle your pup (or cat, I guess), and join me every Wednesday at 9 AM EST on all platforms (and YouTube)!

EP8 - What's REALLY Important When Choosing What to Feed Your Pet
Text me your question or inquiry here!
Hey friends! In today's episode we're discussing a VERY convoluted topic... pet food. I could make multiple episodes on this topic (and I probably will with some guests) but this is a good baseline starter for those pet owners wanting to know more about their dog or cat's food. Raw food? Grain free diets? Let's talk about it!
