I am joined by a very special guest in this episode, the Alternative Vet Dr Lise Hansen and we're discussing (among other things) the importance of the new World Small Animal Veterinary Association's 2024 Report on how veterinary surgeons, pet paraprofessionals and pet parents should avoid neutering their cats and dogs in order to prevent health issues throughout life. Over the past decade research has been conducted and found links between neutering and the development of cancer, immune issues, allergies, joint problems and more - and now it's officially advised against by the worlds leading veterinary experts and professors in the field. A highly important topic as we advocate for the world to catch up with this announcement, and I'm so grateful to have shared this with Dr Lise.

About Dr Lise Hansen:

Dr Lise Hansen , otherwise known as the alternative vet, decided to be a vet at 12 years old, and has now been a veterinary surgeon for 31 years. Not long after graduating in 1994 Dr Lise became trained in acupuncture and homeopathy, and has successfully been running a homeopathic referral practice since 1998 that has been spread over three clinics in both Denmark and here (the UK). Dr Lise published her book ‘ The complete book of cat & dog health’ in 2019, and throughout her entire career has been a huge advocate for encouraging informed choices and agency for pet parents including shouting loudly for changes in the way we so easily ‘neuter’ and ‘vaccinate’ our pets by sharing an alternative view of how we can care for them together. As well as running a successful practice and advocating for change, Dr Lise also speaks internationally to other veterinary surgeons and pet parents about homeopathy and other alternative methods of caring for our pets.
