Dogs Who Sail TV – Toileting Your Dog On A Boat

In this episode of Dogs Who Sail TV I chat with vet, Sheridan Lathe from Vet Tails’ Sailing Chuffed about toileting dogs on a boat.

Sheridan sheds some light on those concerning topics we have as dog parents such as how long is too long for our dog to hold on and signs from a vets experience about what to look out for if our dog chooses not to go to the toilet and so much more.

If you would like to know more about Sheridan and her floating vet clinic, you can read about her adventures at https://www.vettails.com/about-me.

I hope you enjoy the interview and if any questions arise please pop them in the comments on YouTube or send me an email to admin@dogswhosail.com
