Meet the Experts:
Dr. George C. Fahey, Jr.

Growing up on a farm with lots of animals, Dr. Fahey developed an early passion for animals and wanted to find ways to keep them healthy. Over a long and distinguished career, he has come to realize that helping optimize animal’s digestive health is the best way to do that.

As Professor Emeritus of Animal Sciences and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he knows the ins and outs of your pet’s digestive tract and nutritional needs better than anyone.

Dr. Lindsay Thalheim

Dr. Thalheim has a special interest in Translational Medicine and Comparative Oncology, specifically involving hematopoietic and lymphoid cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia.

Her research has included the immunophenotyping of canine lymphoma. She has worked in a human hematology and oncology laboratory studying human acute myeloid leukemia, and also at the NIH-National Cancer Institute, involved in research on human pediatric osteosarcoma (the most common primary bone cancer in dogs). She remains involved in clinical research, working closely with Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Weill-Cornell Oncology, looking for ways to improve cancer outcomes in dogs (and humans).
