Oday Vets Podcast - Episode 6: Living With A Dog With Generalised Anxiety Disorder with Emma John

We Love Pets SA is a fantastic FREE eMagazine, available bi-monthly. The magazine contains pages of great articles from pet owners and pet professionals on all things pets.

Antonette is owner of the magazine and a big contributor to the South African pet community. We chat about her love of Ridgebacks, how the magazine came to be and what we can find in each issue.

She also tells us about her other business The Dog Box, which is a gift box you can customise and order for your dog for special events or if you just fancy spoiling them. 

We had a great chat with Antonette.

Episode 6 of the podcast we headed over to the UK to chat with Emma John.

Emma rescued Cookie an English Springer Spaniel, when she was a year old. Bringing Cookie home, it was apparent that Cookie had some severe anxiety related issues. 

Over the past 5 years, Emma has worked hard to help Cookie deal with her Generalised Anixety Disorder. 

We chat to Emma about the things she implemented that helped Cookie on her journey and asked her to share some advice, for owners living with an anxious dog. 

We cover training, alternatives to walks and behaviour medication.

Huge thank you to Emma for agreeing to chat with us and for sharing all the ups and downs.
