Pet Proov

In today’s episode we’re digging into puppy sales online and the founders of a new verification app called Pet Proov. Following a tragic experience Kate Margolis teamed up with Garry Clarke to invent a new system that can verify a breeder online to offer peace of mind that you won’t be scammed. Along with their aim to stop unscrupulous breeding, profits and scamming, Pet Proov helps re-homing centres verify their adopters. The technology can help in verify dog sitters, walkers, trainers and the whole sector that’s currently lacking in regulation.We’re also joined by Ira Moss, CEO of All Dogs Matter - London’s leading independent rescue and re-homing charity of dogs and sometimes cats too! We discuss the need verification in certain situations, now we’re more reliant of digital technology. All in a bid to increase ethical and responsible dog ownership in the UK.For more info go to petproov.com and alldogsmatter.co.ukThank you to the good people at Antinol.

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. Cover photo by @Gruffpawtraits
