Episode 60 of the Two Vets Talk Pets, where too much talking of pets is barely enough.

This week after a quick catch up, and a quick catching of a run away orangutang, we are joined by Jack Levitt from Flynn's Walk.

Flynn's Walk was set up in memory of Dr Flynn Hargreaves, who took his own life 2 years ago, and has lead to his family and friends to unite to try and raise awareness and funds to help fight Mental Illness and Suicide, especially in Vets, Nurses and Vet Techs.

Flynn's Walk 2019 is taking place at the Williamstown Tennis Club, May 19th starting at 10.30am. There will be Auctions and Raffles to help raise money for RUOK? and Love Your Pet Love Your Vet, both helping to raise awareness of mental health and suicide prevention in the Veterinary Industry.
