14. Saving animals from a sailboat in Central America and Mexico
About this episode
If you have ever travelled in a foreign country and wished you could help the stray animals living on the streets - this episode is for you.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Sheddy, an Australian veterinarian who lives on her sailboat and travels in Central America and Mexico while offering free medical services to animals in need: stray cats and dogs, pets whose owners cannot afford expensive treatments or surgeries, and wildlife in distress. She also collaborates with the local communities and trains people locally, so that they can provide the best possible care to the animals in the long term.
Dr Sheddy also provides very helpful tips (and a word of warning!) for anyone who is looking to sail with their pets in Central America or Mexico. If you plan to sail with your dog or cat, you don't want to miss this episode!
