In this episode of Tuesday Talks with Ruby Reese, Killian is joined by Sorcha Delargy, lead vet and practice partner at Village Vets Raheny, for a practical and reassuring conversation about fear free veterinary care.

Sorcha explains what the fear free approach actually means - caring for animals in the least stressful way possible while still delivering excellent medicine - and why it is a win for pets, owners and vets alike. She walks through the signs of stress and anxiety to look out for in dogs and cats, what owners can do at home and on the day to help, and how her team approaches consultations differently to build trust and keep animals calm.

The conversation also covers the importance of starting positive vet experiences from puppyhood, how fear free becomes even more important as dogs age, and why a fear free approach never means avoiding necessary treatment - just delivering it in a more thoughtful and planned way.

A genuinely helpful episode for anyone who has ever felt anxious about bringing their pet to the vet.
