Vet Voices On Air

In this powerful and much-needed episode of Vet Voices on Air, we dive into one of the most emotionally charged and complex conversations in the dog world right now: breed health, extreme conformation, judging decisions, health testing, genetic diversity, and what meaningful change really looks like after Crufts 2026.

Pet dental health is one of the most overlooked areas of animal care, and in this episode of Vet Voices On Air with Robyn, we tackle a topic that is becoming more common, more visible, and often more confusing for owners: anaesthesia-free dental procedures.
Joining us for this important discussion are Alix, an ECVS and RCVS-recognised veterinary dental specialist, and Cat, a registered veterinary nurse and full-time groomer. Together, we explore what periodontal disease really is, why it is so common in dogs and cats, and where the line lies between helpful home maintenance and treatment that truly requires veterinary intervention.

Vet Voices On Air episode for Endometriosis Awareness Month – March 2026
The 2021 RCVS report shows that the UK veterinary profession is overwhelmingly female:
57% of all registered veterinary surgeons are female

96.8% of veterinary nurses are female

Nearly 80% of veterinary degree students are female

Now put that next to the Endometriosis UK statistic that 1 in 10 females are affected by endometriosis.
That means in every practice, in every lecture theatre, in every on-call rota… someone is likely living with a chronic, often invisible disease – whether they feel safe enough to say it out loud or not.

The episode challenges the profession to rethink how it communicates, so that in a world of instant information, veterinary professionals remain the trusted guide – not the last resort after a Google spiral.
