Listen in to hear how John navigated the difficulties of getting veterinary care in the UK during a worldwide pandemic, and how he found the perfect veterinary care team that was the right fit for both him and Lilli.
And best of all, hear how Lilli is still chasing her ball three years later.

About Today’s Guest, John Mcleish:
John has been an animal lover for many many years since he was a child. People think he’s mad because of the love and dedication he has for pets. He’s been in several industries over the years. His most recent business was in the pet industry with the company Herbal Paws which he has recently sold on.
His next venture is pretty simple: he’s about to start a dog walking business home in Northampton UK.
He is looking forward to this so much and is a self-proclaimed “big soft-hearted person” when it comes to animals.
