Its just hearbreaking. I hope Sherry isnt pregnant, I dont think either girl is desexed atm though so its sadly possible. The devine Nelson is doing brilliantly under Amanda's care and I hear he is off to get his lumps checked tomorrow now that he has lost enough weight for the next step in his journey. You can follow his journey here on the Labradog Facebook Page

That's incredible. I love this plan. I hope people take it up! Would love to donate if you'd like to PM me who that is. What a fabulous plan! One of my local cat care groups does this, they "book in" the litter for vetwork in advance and then the owner picks mum back up. They have an all or none policy so unless the whole litter is handed in then they take wont accept the litter, previously they would find that some of the kittens ended up being given away free undesexed before their appointment. mum is desexed free of charge.

Local Dog Owners Struggling With Off Leash Addiction

i debated before putting up my post because the last thing I wanted was to offend, but thought it was better to be honest. Most people wont know that new vets have garbage wages after all of the study. Plus I am lazy so I would do many things before choosing dog walking as a job for myself In essence I suppose my thoughts would be to consider alternatives rather than the obvious. But if walking suits you then go for it.

I guess it is the low pay of a dog walker vs vet. I know that young vets are not paid the greatest amount of money though. But still it just doesnt make sense to me, so it would make me question why. Says she would would rather curl up on the couch with a book in my spare time than take on hours of walking for little money.

My thought would be that you would need to take care that it doesnt impact on your reputation as a vet. While a vet could make a good dog walker I personally would be concerned about a vet also taking on work as a dog walker. To be honest without knowing them it would make me question their skills as a vet. Is there scope to have your own mobile vet practise on a small scale or maybe a rescue clinic for basics like checkups, vaccs and chips etc?
