Sam Gaines from the RSPCA

Sam Gaines, Head of Companion Animal Science and Policy at the RSPCA and is also one of the Society's dog welfare specialists, joins Anna to discuss modern dog ownership in line with the Animal Welfare Act. They also chat about why we need to make the grade as future pet parents, not least in 'walking the dog’ highlighting guidelines recommended for dog walkers in the current absence of stricter regulation.

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.
