Ep 50: Homeless People And Their Pets With Dr Jade Statt From StreetVet

from Veterinary Ramblings · host Jade Statt

This week we're talking to Jade Statt, the Co-Founder and Clinical Director of StreetVet!StreetVet is an award-winning UK charity that provides free accessible veterinary care to pets of people who are experiencing homelessness. Jade explains her inspiration to begin StreetVet, which started with her and a backpack and has grown into a nationwide organisation with over 300 volunteers providing care and support.We discuss the complexities of working with vulnerable people and the logistics of running a charity of this nature. Jade answers the tricky question of if homeless people should have pets and if those pets are receiving adequate care on the street. We also discuss the difficult situation homeless people with pets face and how the veterinarians who work with them look after their mental health whilst doing such an important job. Finally, we learn why Jade became a vet and she educates us about chinchillas with her wonderful 60-Second CPD!To learn more about StreetVet and help them, check out their website: https://www.streetvet.co.uk/Support the show ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Treadweary Podcast Carleton Smee The collective ramblings of a Lutheran pastor who desires to hear what the Scriptures have to tell us. Sometimes it is a sermon, and other times a brief devotion. Many times a lot of questions. Take 15 minutes today to rest in the Word of God and hear the voice of Christ free you from your burdens. Ramblings BBC Radio 4 Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble. The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.
