  • Vet behaviour

    Love your podcasts - I was just flicking through Dr Karen Overall’s text book on Veterinary Behaviour and I see that she makes the claim that dogs lost due to behavioural problems ( between 1-4y/o ) are one of the biggest untapped vet markets due to the vet care they never go on to require. I think you should interview her about this point. Or Dr Daniel Mills - mainly because he also has a great podcast.
