Joining me this week on Talking Sit is Cat Henstridge (AKA Cat the Vet). If you follow her, you will be familiar with this straight-talking girl boss. Very kindly joining me from her clinic, Cat tells us all about pet food (from a vet's perspective), vaccines, and day to day health care.Cat is no stranger to divisive opinions, so we wont shy away from those conversations here at Talking Sit. We take a look at the science and hear about Cat's real-life experience as a GP vet.
