September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month and September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day. Earlier this year, 988 was designated as the new, nationwide, three-digit phone number that connects U.S.-based callers to the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline to talk with su***de prevention and mental health crisis counselors.

The wellbeing of veterinary professionals is one of the most important issues facing our profession, and a critical focus of the AVMA.

This one is for the "I'm not a cat person" people. A 2019 study from Oregon State University (OSU), concluded that cats and dogs share the same attachment styles to their owners, as well as display a whole spectrum of social personalities & preferences.

Next time you think your cat is being a jerk, take some time to try to understand why they are communicating in that way. It's likely because their food bowl is empty, but it may be something more. Behavioral issues in pets might mean it's time to take a trip to the Vet so any underlying health problems, like chronic UTI's for example, can be ruled out.

See what lead author Krystin R. Vitale, PhD, has to say on the matter!



Most cat memes are predicated on the idea that cats are aloof, impersonal, and, frequently, just plain jerks.

Our Story

Dr. Rosemarie Niznik desired to become a veterinarian since she was in grade school. She graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and completed a Small Animal Internship at Stage Road Animal Hospital in Memphis, TN. She worked in several small animal practices perfecting her skills in small animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and emergency medicine. In 2002, Dr. Niznik established herself as a “relief veterinarian” and operated her relief veterinary business in 5 states on the East Coast area. As a relief veterinarian, Dr. Niznik was able to work in many diverse veterinary hospitals and advance her skills to include exotic pet medicine and spay/neuter surgery.

Dr. Niznik moved to the Chicagoland area in 2007 and established her relief veterinary business in the Chicagoland area and Southern Wisconsin. A strong advocate for organized veterinary medicine, she joined the Boards of the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association and Chicago Veterinary Medical Foundation. She served as President of the Chicago VMA in 2015. She is currently serving her second term as President of the Chicago VMF. She is Chair of the Social Media/Communications Committee of both veterinary organizations.

Dr. Niznik lives on a 5 acre hobby farm in Bristol. Wisconsin, with her finance, Chip, and pets: Grace, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and Wendy and Willa, two rescue cats. She spends her winter weekends teaching skiing at Vail Resorts Wilmot Mountain.
