Dogs. They’re companions, guardians, and much much more – they complete us. And they just might save us from ourselves. Anna Webb explores all levels of modern dog ownership and brings to life why every dog is extraordinary. She speaks to scientists and experts - people who have and are changing our understanding of dogs - on everything from emotional intelligence to nutrition to behaviour, delving deep into subjects like homeopathy, telepathic communication and the pet food scandal. It's thought provoking, alternative, and not a little subversive.

We’re joined by Vet, Dr Humphrey Grimmett, discussing why adding long chain oral Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can help balance the body’s HA resources as it naturally depletes with age.Playing a key role as nature’s ‘sponge’ or shock absorber, HA is a compound dogs produce naturally, but its production slows down with age or after injury. This can impact on mobility as one of the main purposes of HA is to cushion the moveable joints, the knees, hips, and shoulders enabling them to move smoothly, rather than becoming stiff and potentially causing pain. We chat about other factors that HA contributes to in human’s as well as dogs and of course cats too! This includes eye health and skin health. But Humphrey points out that the HA found in face creams is a short chain form, whereas taken orally the long chain has been scientifically proven to be absorbed more efficiently.

We’re joined by Orthopedic Surgeon, Gordon Maclellan, chewing the fat on several issues, not least environmental factors implicating many health conditions, like hip dysplasia and undescended testicles. We discuss the benefits of Ultrasound over X-rays, and why Ultrasound in the Veterinary profession arguably could be optimised more in line with the use of Ultrasound in human medicine. We also discuss aspects of epi-genetics and how the environment from the water we drink and the food we eat can influence individual DNA expression and why products often used in the home like air fresheners contribute to an indoor environment often considered over three times more toxic than outdoors. We talk about testing before treating not only with Titre Tests and why ultra sounds are gradually more commonly being used for diagnosis.

We’re joined by Ed Bracher, Chief Executive of Dogs For Good, discussing why the Charity helps people overcome isolation, build confidence, and live more independent lives.New figures from Dogs for Good’s Creating Possibilities Impact Report revealed that among people surveyed after accessing its services, 93% felt more confident leaving the house, 89% became more independent when getting out and about and 92% reported an improvement in their mood. The impact can extend beyond the individual. The charity’s research suggests that for every one person directly supported, a further six people benefit through wider family and community relationships, highlighting how dogs can create opportunities for greater social interaction and connection. In celebrating National Dog Day this week, Dogs for Good is encouraging people to look beyond dogs simply as pets and recognise the wider role the human-dog bond can play in helping people overcome barriers, maintain independence and stay connected to the world around them.Find out more at their website dogsforgood.org or follow on InstagramFor more about Zooomy and Naturaw, including A Dog's Life discounts you can use, go to the 'Anna Recommends' page at annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff Pawtraits
We’re joined by Andrew Hale, certified canine behaviourist and emotional wellbeing expert at Pet Remedy. We’re chatting about why the company has teamed up with Companion Animal Wellness to launch a new service called Ask the Professional, designed to guide dog and cat owners to accredited trainers and behaviour experts. Helping to guide them with affordable access to experienced, qualified behaviour professionals offering humane, welfare-centred guidance. It's intended to provide clarity and early support helping families understand what their pets are communicating before difficulties escalate. The aim is to counter the concerning increase in misinformation and a worrying trend to use force and punishment methods to train and rehabilitate, rather than a kinder force free and positively orientated approach.

We’re talking about the resurgence of the High Street, as promoting independent shops that play a role in community, not least your local ’pet shop’ where dogs, as part of the family, play a major role in community spirit, helping steer owners away from the large ‘out of town’ superstores. We’re joined by Naturaw’s co-founder, Chris Broadbent and Amelia Black who owns The Tetbury Pet shop discussing the role of the Pet Shop and why customers prefer to choose carefully selected brands and spend time feeling connected to the products they’re buying. Amelia has taken the radical step to stand out by only stocking one dog food brand as she is confident Naturaw is the best and her aim is to offer the best range in store as possible. She also insists on only stocking brands that are not available to buy in superstores, and fly the flag for a community led pet shop on Tetbury’s historic market town high street.

We’re joined by Photographer and Author, Jonathan Posner, talking about his book - The Whole World and his Dog, which is not quite a photo book. Not just a memoir. And certainly more than a dog book.The Whole World and His Dog is a deeply personal and lyrical exploration of memory, place, and love – captured during a thousand days of walks with Daisy, Jonathan’s Cavachon, across one of London’s most celebrated green spaces, Hampstead Heath. The book is dedicated to Daisy.

We’re joined by Animal Communicator and Psychic, Mary Mack. We chat about how Mary began to realise she had a gift, she can hear animals. Tapping into an age old communication skill called Telepathy, Mary explains how she realised she had this ability whilst working for the animal rescue organisation, Merazonia Wildlife Reserve, in the Ecuadorian Amazon rain forest. We chat about how Telepathy is about intention, and reference Dr Rupert Sheldrake and his book, Dogs that Know when their Owners are Coming Home. We talk about how Mary believes in the power of the 'third eye’ , and on some remarkable client cases.

We’re joined by Isobel Hunt, co-founder of CAM4Animals, the not for profit organisation that highlights the benefits of an integrated approach to pets’ healthcare. We chat about how Isobel embraced the ‘CAM’ approach with her Jack Russell Terrier named Jack who sadly passed away aged 18 last year. We discuss raw food feeding as fueling natural health along with how Isobel’s conventional Vet Practice, Crieff Vets, were happy to collaborate with Dr Sue Armstrong's Consultancy, Isobel’s holistic vet also based in Scotland. And this episode is a tribute to Jack, Isobel's Jack Russel!Find out more at cam4animals.co.ukFor more about Zooomy and Naturaw, including A Dog's Life discounts you can use, go to the 'Anna Recommends' page at annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff Pawtraits
