In this episode of the Paws and Effect podcast, Dr Carra dives deep into the world of chronic kidney disease in pets with Dr. Nicky Hogan.

They explore the significance of baseline blood work, early detection, and the importance of comprehensive health assessments. Dr. Hogan sheds light on the often-hidden symptoms of CKD (chronic kidney disease), discusses its irreversible nature, and shares practical tips on diet management and treatment.

Plus, we hear the vital role that pet owners play in observing clinical signs and the individualised care required for managing this condition.

So, whether you’re a pet care enthusiast or a professional in the field, get your earphones, your favourite comfort drink or take us on your daily stroll in the park and stay tuned for valuable information and light-hearted exchanges that will enrich our community.
