About this episode

Dr Katrina Warren discusses the realities of having a family pet and what families should consider before bringing one home.

The idea of a family pet is lovely. The reality depends very much on the pet, the timing and the family bringing it home. Veterinarian, TV presenter and much-loved pet expert Dr Katrina Warren joins Simon and Lachy, with her border collie Chilli, to unpack what life with pets and young children can really look like - including the things families often don’t consider until the animal is already part of the household.
