    70: Food Allergies in Dogs & Cats
    2025/06/01
    The topic of food allergies is rife with misconceptions, and these can be exceptionally frustrating to pet owners as they lead them down blind ends. Faddish marketing that plays into these misconceptions doesn't help but sadly the march of late-stage capitalism is inexorable. Nicole and Jez discuss what food allergies actually involve, as well as the process in which you can identify your pet's dietary allergies.

    69: Emergency Rooms
    2025/05/18
    How much extra would you need to be paid to work from 10pm to 8am whilst also not knowing how your shift will pan out? That's why some of the thoughtless criticism thrown around regarding emergency veterinary services is kind of wild. Nicole and Jez discuss how emergency vet services work, as well as the unseen efforts behind the scenes that, very justifiably, takes money and time.

    67: Dogs on Vacation
    2025/04/20
    The various holiday seasons have food and gatherings in common, and it can be easy to forget to prep your pet for them while also picking up the party food, making sure there's enough ice, and informing everyone of the plan to stop Uncle Murray from passing out in the neighbour's tomato patch again. Dr Nicole and Jez talk about some of the common dangers that pets can get into during holiday periods, and how to reduce the risk of a public holiday emergency vet visit.

    63: What Human Food CAN My Dog Eat?
    2023/05/22
    Dogs love to eat! Dogs love to eat ANYTHING, and so they're really poor judges of what they should and shouldn't. That is our job as pet owners sometimes we don't do that job well either.   Nicole and Jez discuss what human foods dogs can eat, and how that balances with their regular dog food.
