I couldn’t love this more! What do we do about vets that are promoting waiting to spay and neuter until age 3. People argue that privately owned pets aren’t going to breed. I beg to differ. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
Finally a podcast that tells the truth about animal welfare instead of sugarcoating everything. Andrew and Dr. Jeff don’t just talk about feel good rescue stories, they get into what’s actually happening behind the scenes. The system, the challenges, the stuff most people don’t want to hear.
It’s honest, it’s blunt, and it’s necessary.
