Dr Lewis talks about dog parks - do dangers lurk here? Cue sinister music. The lads talk more about the latest on COVID-19 and the ridiculous laws regarding returning lost pets to their owners. Listen up but keep your distance #socialisolation

Robbie is back from his Corona induced sabbatical - the beer version that is! And we are straight into talking about the latest on your pets and Covid-19. The boys talk about how it may affect the running of vet clinics ongoing. The two hosts search for click bait by chatting about is canine coronavirus in Greyhounds and then Lewis discusses the way pain can alter a pets behaviour.

A nearly milestone episode deserves a special treat and listeners will definitely not be disappointed with treat we have on our special 99.5 episode! Dr Lewis is joined today by his wife, Deb and they discuss the latest on COVID-19, your pets and the non-hysteria-inducing truth! They also discuss how retractable leads are the devil and how vets treat all the species.

We are considering a live show for our TRUE 100th episode and would love some feedback if you would be willing to come to a venue in Port Melbourne, one weekend, after Easter, to help us celebrate and record our 100th episode (Gentleman, please supply Pimms and Ladies please bring a plate). If you would be keen to witness this HUGE milestone in the veterinary and podcast world then please let us know by dropping us a line at [email protected] or hit us up on FB or Instagram. We would love to have all our listeners come along but potentially the venue will only hold the two superstar hosts and their partners (to be confirmed).
