We all know Aussies love their animals, but did you know there are more pets than humans in Australia?

Most of us would do anything for our fur babies, but when it comes to our interactions with the vet, sometimes our behaviour is completely inexcusable. 

Vets are in short supply, they're experiencing burnout, copping abuse, and sometimes the pressures of their career is pushing them into very dark spaces. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a vet who tells us her and her colleagues are struggling and what can be done to help them.
