ASK TEDDY
Trusted pet care advice
Ask Teddy, named after Dr. Hensen’s dog Teddy, is an online platform that gives dog and cat owners clear, professional guidance tailored to their specific situation. Ask about symptoms, nutrition, behavior, or day-to-day care and get practical, plain-English direction you can act on. Think of it as a digital “Dear Abby” for dogs and cats, grounded in veterinary experience and focused on helping you make confident decisions.
How it works
Send your question and a few key details about your pet (age, breed, symptoms, timing), and you’ll receive a thoughtful response that helps you decide what to do next and what to watch for. The service is free to use; donations are optional and help support local community needs through the funds we raise.
