Welcome to this bonus episode of Chattering with ISFM, brought to you in collaboration with IDEXX and Purina. In this episode, Nathalie Dowgray is in discussion with Dr. Zoe Belshaw about senior wellness clinics.
Our conversation goes beyond wondering if prevention is better than cure and expands into a discussion about best practices when setting up a wellness clinic, the importance of contextualised care and examines the relationship between the veterinarian, the caregivers and the cat itself. We hope you enjoy this episode!
