Hosted by vet surgeon Dr Paul Manktelow, each episode dives into the key issues shaping the lives of pets and the people who love them.
Whether you’re looking for deeper insight into modern veterinary healthcare, curious about the pet care industry, or simply passionate about animal welfare, The Consult Room brings clarity, compassion, and real-world expertise to the conversation.

He also asks an important question: can modernising a 1966 law really make veterinary care more affordable, or is its greatest opportunity to improve transparency, accountability and trust?
