Vet Voices On Air

In this episode of Vet Voices on Air, we take a much deeper look at obesity in dogs and cats — not simply as a question of calories, but as a complex interaction between physiology, behaviour, nutrition, environment, human psychology and the human–animal bond.

This week Robyn Lowe from Vet Voices On Air, dives into the remarkable world of Lowland Rescue dogs—the volunteer teams working alongside police to locate vulnerable missing people across the UK. If you’ve ever wondered how these dogs are trained, how they search, or how the public can help, this episode offers a fascinating look behind the scenes.

What makes a good veterinary leader? Is it confidence, ambition and having the answers — or the ability to admit when you've got things wrong?

BVMS(Hons) CertAVP(ZM) MRCVS, RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Zoological Medicine , an experienced avian and exotic veterinary surgeon, to explore the realities of avian medicine in general practice—covering both wildlife birds and companion species.
While Vet Voices On Air has previously focused on wildlife casualties and considerations with Emily LLewyn and wildlife rehabilitation with Paul Reynolds, this episode goes broader, tackling the overlap between wild, captive, and pet birds, and addressing one of the biggest barriers many veterinary teams face: confidence.

You’ve spent years working towards becoming a vet or RVN. Then comes the first job. But what happens when the career you dreamed about doesn’t feel quite so dreamy once you’re actually living it?

“We all have that glass slipper image of the practice that we feel is best for us.” — Robyn 

In this episode of Vet Voices on Air, Robyn is joined by veterinary surgeon and graduate mentor Alison Price and recent graduate Danielle Golds for a refreshingly open conversation about those crucial first years in practice.
