We’re joined by Gemma Glover, Business Development Director at The Pet Carpenter, talking about the family business that specialises in creating bespoke pet furniture that is tailored to the unique needs of any pet - dogs, cats, rabbits , even tortoises! As a family affair the company prides itself on its service taking an idea from an idea into reality. We discuss the myth of the crate as being restrictive and being the cause of much anxiety. We chat about a study conduced by Dogs Trust and The Royal Vet College that not only dispels such misconception, but also highlighted that dogs that are crate trained are less likely to show symptoms of separation anxiety. The Pet Carpenter offers uber stylish ,and integrated options that transform a crate into a bedroom concept that’s space saving, and designed just for your dog’s comfort and well-being.

We’re joined by Savita Nutan who is discussing her own educational organisation ‘Medicine without Cruelty, the aim of which is promoting non animal testing as animal testing is outdated, ineffective and needs to be stopped. The big question being why is it still going on? Savita explains why the law is regulated by ASPA Animals (Scientific Procedures) and it licences the use of animals despite there being so much information highlighting that there are other ways! The obvious question is how can a rat’s metabolism be compared to a human's? And with the rise of Artificial Intelligence could it be the time to end the pointless suffering of animals in laboratories when technology could replace them.

We’re joined by Interior Designer and TV Presenter, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, giving advice on top home improvement ideas transforming your home in 2025. We chat about Heat pumps as a an energy efficient way to heat our homes. We chat about why the New Year inspires interior changes and suggests opting for some colour and bold stripes. As a huge animal lover we chat about his cats and dogs, and why up-cycling can be beneficial to your budget and the health of our pets. Laurence is aware of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can emit from pre-fab furniture, and why plenty of succulents, a fresh draft, natural light and air purifiers contribute to our positive wellbeing and that of our pets.
