Let's talk about veterinary house calls with Dr. Lisa Lippman

Dr. Lisa Lippman, a visiting vet in Manhattan, isn't just a knowledgeable medical professional: She is also a savvy business woman who is using the Internet to build her in-home practice. She and her comedian boyfriend Richie Redding, with whom co-hosts the Pets & Punchlines podcast, chat about the benefits (and occasional downsides) of having a vet come to your home, the "zoobiquity" movement, the 28-pound cat whose star turn that jumpstarted her practice, and more.

Annie: Hey, I am here with Dr. Lisa Lippman. Dr. Lisa Lippman: Hi. Annie: And, and the boyfriend Richie-- Richie Redding: Redding. Annie: Okay. I wasn't sure of your last name. Dr. Lisa and Richie have their own podcast which is wonderful. Uh, it's called Pets and Punchlines. While Richie is a great lover of animals. Richie: I thought you were just going to cut it short. Richie is a great lover. And Lisa is a veterinarian. [laughs] Annie: Dr. Lisa is a veterinarian and she's a visiting veterinarian, which means she goes into people's homes, which I think is super cool for many reasons. But a big reason is, did you ever read those books when you were kids about the visiting vet. Dr. Lisa: No actually. Annie: That series of novels. Dr. Lisa No, I don't know how I missed that. Nobody loved me, I guess. Richie: Me either. Annie: All God's creatures. I think they were called. Dr. Lisa: I mean, I know of them, but I actually never read them. Annie: I never read them either. I know about them, but there’s clearly a gap in both of our educations about pets. What were our parents doing that they didn't make us read those books.
