21┆ BOAS, Bias and Big Vet Bills
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When airway surgery is offered as a “just in case” add-on, we have a bigger problem than breathing.
In this episode, I question the growing normalisation of preventative BOAS procedures, particularly when dogs have not been clinically graded. We look at how this affects insurance records, future premiums, and the data used to shape legislation and public perception.
This is not about being anti-vet. It is about accountability, evidence and breed protection.
In this episode, we consider:
- Why surgery should follow diagnosis, not breed stereotype
- How unnecessary procedures create long-term financial and statistical fallout
- How breed-wide damage happens one “routine” operation at a time
If you want to protect your bulldog and the wider breed, this episode asks the uncomfortable questions.
