Welcome to a very special Vet Times podcast - our 100th episode.

The episode’s host, Vet Times editor James Westgate, said: “I’d like to take this chance to thank you guys for listening over the years and helping us to reach this magnificent milestone .

“To mark the occasion, we decided to do something a little bit different and a little bit special, so we’re delving into the world of contextualised veterinary care – and to help us do that, we have assembled a panel of some of the leading vets in the charity sector.”

Joining us in this episode are Alison Thomas, head of veterinary services at Blue Cross; RSPCA chief veterinary office Caroline Allen; Steve Howard, head of clinical services at PDSA; Dogs Trust deputy director Runa Hanaghan; and Maggie Roberts, director of feline welfare at Cats Protection.
