Episode 92 - Nutraceuticals and joint care: Regulation, Reality, and Responsible Use with Lianne O'Boyle RVN

In the last episode of the “Diet & Nutrition” series, we are joined by Lianne O'Boyle, Head of Clinical at Nutravet. We discuss the vital role veterinary nurses play in osteoarthritis management, the growing use of laser therapy in practice, and whether veterinary education adequately prepares clinicians for managing chronic conditions such as OA. Lianne also shares insights from her transition into the supplement industry, offering a balanced perspective on evidence, regulation, client expectations, and the role of ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids and boswellia in joint health support.

Packed with practical advice for both veterinary professionals and pet caregivers, this episode explores how a collaborative, multimodal approach can help improve the lives of dogs and cats living with osteoarthritis.
