It’s the dog days of summer on Pets Add Life, and hosts Kristen Levine and Chris Bonifati are cooling things down with stories, science, and two powerhouse guests. First, Anna Webb—a UK-based canine behaviorist, nutritionist, and podcaster—joins to share her integrative approach to pet longevity, raw feeding, and what Brits are getting wrong about their anxious dogs. Then, Beth Bellanti of Tito’s Vodka reveals the heart behind their beloved Vodka for Dog People program, which has supported over 2,300 animal welfare orgs, rehomed 165+ distillery dogs, and helped make office dogs cool again. Plus, find out how to rent a private pool just for your dog, what APPA’s latest data says about cat people, and whether your senior pet needs new supplements or a joint-saving life jacket.
