I’m very excited to announce that I will be hosting a new podcast: The Dog’s Voice brought to you by !

Welcoming a new dog into your family should be an exciting time - but it can be an absolute minefield.

We will tackling questions such as:
If you’re getting a puppy, how can you ensure you are getting a healthy one?
How can you spot that puppies being advertised are actually from a puppy farm?
Why has Norway banned the breeding of Cavalier King Charles spaniels?
How can we breed healthier dogs moving forwards?

Mixing practical advice and tips, with some general entertaining dog chat, it’s set to be a great listen!

Each episode I’ll have a new expert guest join me, and the first guest will be OG social media vet . As we are both GP small animal vets, we will be sharing our own experiences and tips from having met thousands of new puppies and their families, and exchanging our opinions of how social media impacts what we see in practice.

I need your help! What questions would you like me to ask Cat for the first episode?
