Woodgreen

Pet abandonment has reached record highs, and this week we're joined by Linda Cantle, Director of Operations of Woodgreen, explaining why pet rescue shouldn't start at the point of relinquishment. We talk about the Charity’s hard hitting campaign that revealed why a third of Brits have given up a pet, but nearly three quarters didn't want to!

The charity offers help with behaviour and veterinary costs, and helps pet parents in their homes people in their homes. All to provide necessary support to people struggling.

Their teams aim to keep pets and their people together taking the pressure of re-homing centres already bursting at the seams.

What is 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.
