On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show on Vision Australia Radio, Harriet is joined by two guests.

Breeding Operations Officer Brit McCarthy talks to us about the lives of our breeding dogs. We're going to talk about what they get up to when they're not being used, and the role of a breeder carer volunteer.

Then Dr Jacinta Millard from the Seeing Eye Dogs vet team talks about arthritis in dogs. We discuss symptoms, management and how you can work with your vet to look after a dog you have with arthritis. As always this is general information and we encourage you to speak with your own trusted vet about your dog.
