May 25 Episode 003: How Far Do You Go To Keep Your Pet Looking Good?

In this episode, Dr. Wheaton And Dr. Forman go over a couple of topics that our clients wanted us to cover and it led into quite the informative conversation. The first topic was regarding bathing your dog: how much is too much, can it be overdone, etc. Dr. Wheaton expanded this topic a bit, bringing potential reasons for having an "itchy dog" into the conversation. Dr. Forman gave some insight into shampoos as well. We talked about bathing your cat and how well or poorly they do with self-grooming. We even went over what to do when your pet gets sprayed by a skunk.

This conversation segued into some of the pet fashion fads: from the benign coloring of their fur to the extremes that we have witnessed that can be extremely harmful to your pet. The ideas behind ear cropping, tail docking and even the removal of dew claws were discussed at length by the doctors.

Timothy Wheaton

A part of the APCC team since September of 2013 as the Office Manager and Media Manager. His career previously had been steeped in the Title Insurance Industry for over a decade. He has managed staffs in multiple industries, locally and overseas. His marketing and social media skills were learned as he manages his own photography business. He created APCC’s Pet Talk Podcast as he developed a podcast of his own called Daddy Unscripted.

There is no coincidence in the shared last name. Tim is Dr. Wheaton's younger brother and has been around APCC and the staff since its inception. Life has come full-circle in that way, as Tim and his brother used to spend nearly every day during summers in their youth at their Dad's veterinary practice in Corona Del Mar. Dr. Wheaton was always the son destined to follow in their father's footsteps, while Tim was always the more creative-minded one of the two.

Tim and his wife have two kids of their own and two furry children (Rusty & Audrey), sibling cats adopted from The Pet Rescue Center in 2011.

Tim has been keeping you up to date with APCC happenings via social media – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat & now officially via Podcast – with pictures, pet health tips, travel tips and ways to keep your fur-babies happy and healthy.
