#13 Vet visits and face coverings advice

Author: Pets at Home August 4, 2020 Duration: 21:13

As pet owners and pet lovers, it’s important that we understand how social distancing and face coverings can affect our furry friends. ​In this episode of the puppy podcast we are joined by vets, Sam and Huw, from the Vets4Pets team who talk us through the things we can be doing, as pet owners, to make sure our puppies don’t miss out on socialisation or important preventative care, such as vaccinations and neutering. ​​They also talk us through the steps they’re taking in vet practices to keep everyone safe and to make any new family members feel as welcome and comfortable as possible, such as getting them used to people wearing face coverings.​


Bringing a new puppy into your life is a joy filled with memorable moments, but it’s also a journey with plenty of unknowns.
