Alright, Pet?

Available for over a year

Passionate greyhound lover Pauline McLynn swaps sighthound stories with Anne-Marie and why she’s been knitting little outfits for bald chickens. Open wide! Specialist veterinary surgeon Rob Adams delves into the jaws of dental hygiene and how important it is to keep our pets teeth in tip top condition. He also gives an insight into some of the amazing breakthroughs in veterinary science when it comes to re-growing bones and something called bone morphogenetic protein. A purr-suasive Katie from Cats protection thinks cats and kittens are simply fur-midible and tells us about the pawsome work the charity carries out. No monkey business here! Rosie Nelson from Wales ape and monkey sanctuary gives the lowdown on monkeys making poor pets and Toby the pug meets our pet behaviourist Rob Alleyne to see if he can get over his fear of planes.
