The Chatty Vets Podcast
Meet The Chatty Vets — Charlotte & Brendan — two UK small-animal vets navigating the wild, wonderful, and occasionally ridiculous world of veterinary practice. Expect monthly news, clinical cases, odd consult moments, and the kind of humour only someone who’s survived a chaotic consult room can appreciate.
We give you REAL confessions from the Clinic Floor: Practical, relatable, and CPD-APPROVED.
We release three episodes a month: two fortnightly updates on what’s happening across UK vet med, plus a bonus episode that might be a clinical deep-dive, a research paper chat, or an excuse to talk to interesting people who also chose this brilliant, baffling profession.
If you work in vet med and want learning, honesty, and a few laughs to get you through the shift, you’ll feel right at home.
