Dr Meg of On Point Veterinary Services, grew up with bird dogs and hunting in Montana. She has a special interest in working dogs. In this episode Dr Meg talks to us about preventative care and why being prepared for injuries in the field is so important.

She walks us through putting together our own first aid kit for dogs; what to keep in the truck and what to carry in your vest. She also explains the importance of having a good, working relationship with your veterinarian, to help better prepare yourself and your dog for hunting season.
