Surely ‘walking the dog’ is synonymous with bringing a dog into your life. It’s one of a dog’s many selling points that’s being drawn to our attention by National Walk Your Dog Month. Apart from being a free chance to get outdoors, enjoy fresh air and nature, walking the dog is an aerobic exercise that reaps mental and physical health benefits naturally: that’s not just for yourself, but your pooch too!

This week Anna is joined by Dr Jenny McKay who is a Vet and a Vicar. That’s to say Jenny is a Curate and Minister in Secular Employment. Jenny is also an  Environmentalist, Activist and Self Confessed Cat Junkie! 

We discuss whether she believes that dogs go to heaven, and why since man was born there’s so much evidence of an afterlife, and the hope that we will be reunited with our beloved dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge.

This week Anna talks to the team from Paleo Ridge about the growth in the raw food market for pet parents, highlighting the health and behaviour benefits of feeding a natural species appropriate diet.

CEO Tyler Daly  explains how the firm began , inspired by their own Rhodesian Ridgeback, diagnosed with cancer, and a severe prognosis. When his diet switched from processed to raw, the dog made a full recovery, and died of old age.

We discuss with Will Green sales & Marketing Director the growth of the raw food market as an expanding slice out the £3billion pet food market in the UK.

This week Anna meets up with Author & Journalist, Genevieve Fox, and her Miniature Schnauzer, Pepper on Hampstead Heath.

Retracing their steps spent training on an ‘experience’ walk, where Anna highlighted some training tips for an article in The Observer magazine about walking your own dog, and how it helps your dog’s and your own well-being.  Passionate about punctuating your dog’s day, and building proactive games into an everyday walk for extra enrichment.
