Pet Insurance Working Group Puts Transparency on Agenda with Consideration of Data Reporting Requirements
Late Friday evening, the office of California Attorney General Robert Bonta confirmed to TCR through a spokesman that Hemopet founder W. Jean Dodds is now under investigation. The confirmation came in response to an inquiry from TCR late Wednesday, which provided a list of ongoing possible criminal legal exposures for Ms. Dodds and requested General Bonta’s comment on whether such activity was being investigated.
Update: California has confirmed that Dodds was never licensed to practice in the state. TCR is now seeking information from the California Veterinary Medical Board about next steps for Jean Dodds, including whether a criminal investigation at the state and/or federal level is under consideration. Jean Dodds has continued to decline TCR’s requests to respond to the citation, including whether she intends to contest it.
