Another Reloaded episode to help keep our listeners sane over Christmas, and one you need to make time for.

Originally released as “Joint Rot,” we’re bringing it back because its message is too important to miss.

Canine arthritis wasn’t on Ross’s radar in London, while Lez in Scotland had a bit more familiarity, but their conversation with Hannah changed everything.

Her veterinary career led her to specialise in chronic pain and to create Canine Arthritis Management (CAM), a project that grew from a personal mission into a thriving team and support network.

One crucial reminder from this episode: arthritis is not just “a touch of arthritis” — it is chronic pain.

It deserves serious attention and proper management.

Hannah’s work highlights how complementary therapies can enhance traditional veterinary care and why the profession must do better for dogs living with long-term pain.

This isn’t just vital for dog owners. It’s essential listening for trainers and behaviourists who want to improve the care we provide to our canine clients.
