On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show on Vision Australia Radio, Harriet has a partnership story, some news from SED HQ and vet tips to share.

Seeing Eye Dogs handler Lizzie Eastham joins us on the show talking about her life, story and partnership with Seeing Eye Dog Lacey. Those of you who listen to Studio 1 may be familiar with Lizzie. Today, she's coming on to share her story. Lizzie is one of the ambassadors for the Petbarn Foundation Seeing Eye Dogs Appeal for 2024. If you'd like to support the appeal head in store to your local Petbarn or City Farmers store to make a donation to Seeing Eye Dogs

Then, Harriet announces two of the special names given to puppies in recognition of NAIDOC week July 7-13 2024. These names were submitted by members of our community who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander in celebration of their culture and connection to country.

We also talk about one of the important questions about puppy caring "how do you give the puppy up?" and then finish this episode with some vet chat with Dr Ashe Mooney of Seeing Eye Dogs vet team about body condition score and healthy weight in dogs.
