Greycoat Research has released a new interview video featuring Veterinarian Tarkan Özçetin, a leading feline veterinarian in Türkiye’s. The interview focuses on feline medicine, specialized cat hospitals, long-term care, preventive care, and approaches to supporting cats living with chronic kidney disease.

Dr. Tarkan Özçetin has spent more than 33 years in veterinary medicine, with most of his career dedicated entirely to cats. He is known as the founder of Türkiye’s first and only cat-only hospital, the founder of the country’s first cat magazine, and the founder of KEDVET, Türkiye’s first feline medicine association.

In this interview, Dr. Tarkan Özçetin shares why he chose to dedicate his life and career to cats, why he established Türkiye’s first cat-only hospital, and why he believes specialized feline care matters so deeply.

He also explains how his approach to long-term care has evolved over the years.

According to Dr. Tarkan Özçetin, treatment alone is not always enough. He believes cats benefit from earlier support, a more specialized environment, and a broader approach that includes long-term management and preventive care.

The interview also includes his thoughts on supplements and their role in feline health.

Dr. Tarkan Özçetin explains that while supplements are not the same as medication, certain high-quality products may be considered as part of a broader care routine alongside standard veterinary treatment, especially in chronic illnesses such as kidney disease. He emphasizes that supplements are not intended to replace veterinary diagnosis, medication, or treatment.

As part of the interview, he also speaks about how he first became connected with Greycoat Research through Dr. Toru Miyazaki, and why he believes Greycoat Research’s approach may offer an additional supportive option for cats living with chronic kidney disease when used as part of a broader care plan.
