A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

Anna and Mr Binks visit Hackney Barkers, a grooming and wellness experience in Hackney, London. Chatting to the founder Jade Georgiou we talk about qualifications in grooming, how diet affects the skin and coat, along with behaviour. The vibe of the salon is very zen supported by natural products Jade has selected as well as some supplements from The Herbal Dog Co. Emphasising the need to offer a calm environment, the salon is boutique with only two dogs being groomed at a time, keep the noise and hustle and bustle to a minimum. We chat about how Jade competed at international grooming events, with Poodles, Kerry Blue’s, Welsh Terriers and many more, combining  her knowledge of nutrition and behaviour and years of experience having grown up with German Shepherds. We discuss the hot topic of Poodle versus Doodle, and why its a shame we rarely see a Poodle anymore!

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.
