Jen Berezai of AdvoCATS

On this week’s show Jennifer Berezai of Advocats East Midlands joins Anna to discuss the landmark Heads for Tails campaign, which is about lobbying for change for lets with pets. Aiming to bridge the gap between renters with pets and private landlords operating a no pet’s policy, Heads for Tails aims to encourage insurance policies that cover both the landlord and the pet owner. Despite Government’s ‘Model Tenancy Agreement’ recommending that landlord’s are pet friendly, this remains a set of guidelines only. Jennifer aims to offer solutions to enable ‘renters’ to enjoy the massive health benefits of pet ownership that has been displayed through the pandemic. Ending the sad fact that 55% of Britain’s population cannot own a pet simply down to Landlords’ imposed no pet clauses.

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.
