  • Cloud 9
    We’re joined by Lisbet Stuer-Lauridsen and Amber Synnott from Cloud 9 Vets who have launched a service dedicated to offering  at home  euthanasia for all pets, but mainly dogs and cats. They conducted a survey recently that revealed that two thirds of pet owners had no idea that it was possible to help your pet cross to the rainbow bridge at home.  Cloud 9 Vets operates as a national network of vet practices that service all the main hubs around the UK. These practices have been cherry picked by Amber and Lisbet as upholding the best practice for compassion and care.  The benefits of at home euthanasia include the pet staying happy and calm with their family and other pets close by . The Cloud 9 team work closely with all pet parents to make the crossing smooth from choosing a special location to taking time with deep understanding of the  emotional situation.  Cloud 9 ’s  hope  is for more pet parents to  be aware that at home euthanasia is an accepted part of vet practice, and they step in where many practices do not offer this very valuable and inevitable part of all pet ownership.Find out more at cloud9vets.co.uk and follow on InstagramThank you to the good people at Antinol.

  • A Dog's Life Archive: Dr Paul Koudounaris
    In this classic episode from the archive, we’re joined by Dr Paul Koudounaris talking about his book ‘Faithful until Death’. As a first in terms of investigating Pet Cemeteries all around the world, Paul admits this was a labour of love of 11 years. Revealing the history of pet ownership as in the late Victorian era industrialisation meant more folk moved into cities, creating a new kind of pet husbandry, which included giving them a ’good’ death. Paul explores Cemeteries, and tombs from as far afield as Thailand, across Europe, in the UK and across the USA. We chat about the ridiculous thought that animals do not have souls, as an illogical concept of theology.  We talk about the resistance to burying pets in churchyards, and the people who helped make change with setting up/ building dedicated pet cemeteries. As a massive animal lover, Paul became a pet bereavement councillor for several years as well as tracking down the author of iconic poem : The Rainbow Bridge, and in revealing one of the greatest mysteries, of the Paris Pet Cemetery called Le Cimitières des Chiens in Paris where the iconic canine film legend,  RIn Tin Tin,  is said to be buried. We chat about Tawny the ex circus lion who lived in Beverley Hills and rests in the cemetery in LA, and more! The book takes you on an emotional journey, through which there's comfort in how many have grieved their pets, for a loss that is means losing apart of oneself, and how Pet Cemeteries set in history our love for all animals.  As the late Queen famously said: “Grief is the price of Love.” Faithful Until Death is published by Thames & Hudson or you can buy it hereFollow Paul on Instagram Thank you to the good people at Antinol.

  • Paul A Young
    In this classic episode, Anna talks to Chocolatier, Paul A. Young in his small shop in Camden Passage, Islington, London. As well as the UK's leading maker of fine chocolate, Paul is an author and more importantly proud dad to Billy, a minature Dachshund. Chocolate is obviously bad for dogs but not for Pet Parents.

  • Grace Olson and her Sheep!
    We’re joined by Author Grace Olson who is talking about her latest series of children’s book about her sheep. These are sheep that have turned into therapists and work alongside Grace in helping people. Complementing Grace’s horses that have for many years been offering intuitive comfort and healing to Grace’s human clients.  We talk about how sheep have different personalities and are all individuals like dogs or cats, and how her flock of six have taken Grace on an emotional journey too. Famous for being regular contributors on the acclaimed TV show The Yorkshire Vet , Grace’s sheep can run agility courses and are not shy of the limelight. We also discuss the concept of telepathy and why Grace believes that its is possible for animals to pick up human intentions. Her horses have shown Grace that like dogs, they have the ability to ‘smell’ cancer, so this episode is celebrating all animals as sentient, and it might just make you think twice before eating a lamb casserole ever again!

  • The Responsible Dog Ownership Course
    This week we’re joined by Jason Cortis who facilitates courses for Blue Cross and works directly with police forces. Dog-related incidents reported to police have risen sharply, up from 30,500 in 2023 to over 32,500 in 2024, with the broader category of dogs being out of control, including injuries to people, adding another 23,000 cases annually.Meanwhile, NHS figures show an 88% increase in hospital attendances for dog injuries over the last 15 years, and research suggests one in four people will be bitten in their lifetime.The stark figures reinforce an urgent need for intervention, with the charity Blue Cross teaming up with over 30 police forces across the country to launch the Responsible Dog Ownership Course (RDOC) to mitigate risk and improve public safety.The three-hour course is turning potentially life-changing legal situations into opportunities for safer, more responsible ownership.For more information go to bluecross.org.uk or follow on InstagramThank you to the good people at Antinol.

About A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

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. Cover photo by @Gruffpawtraits
