A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

We’re joined by Caroline Griffith, Founder of the Natural Dog Expo, talking about the much anticipated, upcoming ‘Expo on 1st & 2nd May 2027.  We discuss nutrition and why Caroline has launched the first R’Awards, an industry awards supported by PIF (Pet Industry Federation) to celebrate ‘fresh, whole into the bowl', with raw balanced and complete options, along with lightly cooked alternatives.  As the fastest growing sector in the pet food sector, Caroline has been a passionate raw food feeder, just like host Anna Webb for several decades. Chewing the fat, we discuss why this ’niche’ is expanding, and why celebrating the companies offering options is so important.

This week we're joined by musician, actor, and activist Collette Cooper about her campaign to raise awareness of MBR Acres that breeds beagles for experimentation. Collette, a long time supporter of Camp Beagle, wanted to do more than protest so along with Lois Winstone, came up with an idea of a punk-style 'Free the Beagles' T-shirt that could be sold to help raise money and awareness. Fashion designer, Gresham Blake, then got involved and designed the T-shirt and suggested the slogan 'God Save the Beagles' and famed photographer Rankin did the photo shoot. All money raised goes to Beagle Freedom Project UK.

This week we're talking to Dr Graham Matheson and Joe Flanagan about the bone regenerative product Tvati. This new holistic joint support for dogs is based on traditional Maori medicines in the Cook Island. Dr Graham aka Cookie, had to get permission from the island's traditional leaders to research and develop the remedy for wider use. Joe Flanagan is distributing Tvati through Ingenious Probiotics. Dr Graham has seen remarkable recovery with athletes and Anna can attest that Prudence is also seeing the benefits.

We’re joined by Author and Screenwriter, Gary Goldstein, discussing is fourth novel, Canine Custody. It’s the story highlighting why when couples split the dog can get caught in the middle, reflecting the best and the worst of human nature.  

Drawing on his own experiences, Gary weaves a realistic picture that many can resonate to. Betty, a Springer Spanie,l is in the centre role, acting as a ’go-between’. Already receiving great reviews, he chats about hopefully bringing Canine Custody to the screen.

As a huge dog lover, Gary also talks about his own dogs and why rescuing Labradors is his passion. 

Canine Custody is released September 22. Click here for more information or follow on Instagram

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.
