  • Summary

  • It’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved pet. The passing of a pet is like a family member. Our pets give us so much love and joy, but sadly their lives are shorter than ours. We can try and not think about it, but there will be a time when our pet’s pain and suffering comes to an end. Our guest, the compassionate vet, Dr Mila Kasby has worked as a small animal veterinarian for over 20 years. She travelled extensively, working in England for 5 years before returning to Australia where she and her husband Matt (also a veterinarian) run their family-owned practice, Great Western Animal Hospital in Western Sydney. Mila feels it is so important that vet visits are as stress free and as enjoyable as possible for patients and their families so the team at Great Western are all Fear Free Certified and use techniques that care for pets emotional as well as their physical well-being. Mila has worked as a volunteer with Vets for Climate Action, helping to develop a sustainability program for veterinarians and is currently working as a volunteer wildlife veterinarian. She recently joined her local RFS brigade so that she can better assist with wildlife rescue in the event of bushfire. The team at Great Western volunteer for Pets in the Park, a charity providing free veterinary care to pets belonging to the homeless.
