Mini Off Duty- Licky-Licks, Loud Kittens & Vet Nurse Wisdom
In this Mini Pod episode, we’re joined by Cheryl, one of our brilliant veterinary nurses, who lifts the lid on what vet nurses really do — from calming nervous pets to mastering the ancient art of licky-lick bribery.
We chat about how to make vet visits easier for your pet, the signs that something’s not quite right at home, and the small habits that can make a big difference to your pet’s comfort and confidence.
Cheryl also explains how to read your pet’s body language (and why cats give approximately 0.3 seconds of warning before mayhem).
A short, funny, genuinely helpful episode for every pet owner.
Kids’ Corner: We’re collecting voice notes from children about their pets for future episodes!
Ask your little ones to send us a quick message telling us something funny, bold or brilliant about their pet — we’d love to feature them.

Next up, we’re joined by Cheryl for a heartfelt and unforgettable conversation.
