Chris takes us all through a journey into understanding and cultivating relationships with our veterinarian friends as what the landscape looks like from within the veterinary world. Nat and Steve review the book and Steve drops the (not so secret) big news he’s been sat on! Enjoy us massaging your inner ears for a tiny wee while... woof!
