Ho Ho Ho, and Merry Christmas from the Two Vets Talk Pets Podcast, where too much talking of pets is barely enough.

This episode is proudly supported by Dr Clint Yudelman from Insight Mobile Veterinary Diagnostics - a mobile Veterinary Medicine Specialist service, operating around Melbourne, and the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas. Bringing cutting edge specialist internal medicine services for your pet, at your vets!

This episode is also supported by Prime 100 Pet foods - Australian made, Single Protein source diets for dogs and cats! Huge range, lots of flavours, for lots of different life stages, and diseases!

This episode is also proudly supported by Zylkene from Vetquinol - a safe way to help your dog or cat that may be stressed or have a mild anxiety.

We start off by Robbie trying to educate Lewis on the fable of Krampus - the Christmas Demon!

Don't forget to get your pets vaccinations up to date before they have to go into boarding!

Robbie tries to tell Lewis about the Bird through the car window story again - repetition makes it funny, Lewis finds some stats about what animals are most likely to kill you, and a colleague having problems with dingos in the desert. And Robbie talks about the benefits of a thorough examination. And Lewis finds a great new job for Robbie...

Whew! Who knew Christmas could be so dangerous! Almost as trying to get a carpark at the Shopping Mall at noon on the last Saturday before Christmas.

And Thunderstorm Phobias!!!

Don't by a pet as a present unless they want it, and can care for it.

Make sure you've got enough meds to get you through.

And from the Mailbag - should you cuddle your dog during a storm?
