## Resource

On this episode of Cattitude Michelle Fern welcomes Dr. Heather Berst, Medical Lead at Zoetis, to talk about the Zoetis Breed Explorer—a fun, vet-approved tool designed to help pet parents find the dog or cat breed that truly fits their lifestyle. With more than 400 breeds featured, the Breed Explorer offers insights into energy level, family friendliness, grooming needs, health considerations, and more. Michelle and Dr. Heather discuss why choosing a pet based on looks alone can lead to surprises, how breed traits can influence behavior and health, and why informed, responsible pet ownership starts before you bring a new furry family member home. Whether you’re considering a purebred, a mixed breed, a kitten, or a puppy, this episode is packed with practical advice to help match the right pet with the right person.
