When it comes to our pets’ health, most of us want to do the right thing—but it’s not always clear what that is, especially when you’re sitting in a vet’s office trying to make decisions in real time.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Nancy Kay, an award-winning veterinarian and author of the bestselling book Speaking for Spot. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, she shares practical advice to help pet guardians feel more confident, ask better questions, and play an active role in their animal’s care.

We cover common misconceptions about preventive care, how to recognize red flags that shouldn’t be ignored, and what it really means to advocate for your pet—without feeling overwhelmed or breaking the bank. Whether you’re a new pet parent or have years of experience, this conversation will leave you better equipped to support your animal’s health and well-being.

Love and compassion for animals can bring everyone together. ‘Humane Voices’ is the official podcast of Humane World for Animals. We’ll explore the issues facing animals, interview worldwide animal experts, and discuss what you can do to get involved and help. If you care about the welfare of animals, or have a special pet or two in your life, this is the podcast for you.
