    • Life with Cavapoos: Sarah Gillis Shares Her Adventures in Dog-Friendly Living

      Life with Cavapoos: Sarah Gillis Shares Her Adventures in Dog-Friendly Living
      Jan 13 2026
      In this episode, Aneka is joined by fellow dog mum and influencer Sarah Gillis for a relatable chat about the highs, lows, and unexpected lessons of dog parenting, especially during lockdown. Sarah opens up about how she became the proud owner of two Cavapoos, Peanut and Pablo, and how they’ve been a constant source of comfort, companionship, and laughter through life’s twists and turns. Together, they explore the deep emotional bond between dogs and their humans, the importance of choosing a breed that truly fits your lifestyle, and what it’s like navigating dog parenthood in both London and Newcastle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dogs provide unconditional love and companionship, significantly impacting their owners' mental health and well-being. They can help individuals through tough times, offering comfort and a sense of purpose. The rise of dog-friendly venues and activities has transformed how dog parents engage with their pets. Many dog owners prioritise places that welcome their dogs, enhancing their experiences and adventures together. The journey of creating dog-related content began during lockdown, driven by a desire to share the joy of having a puppy. This led to unexpected growth and opportunities, including collaborations with brands and invitations to dog-friendly events. When dating, it's crucial to ensure that potential partners are dog-friendly and willing to embrace the role of a "dog dad." The compatibility between the partner and the dogs is essential for a successful relationship. Building a community around dog parenting can lead to meaningful connections with others who share similar experiences. Engaging with followers and receiving positive feedback fosters a supportive environment for both the creator and their audience. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's just that companionship; there's something about dogs. I didn't realise how good it was having a dog until I actually got a dog." "You really have to select the right breed for your lifestyle. And then you've got to have that longevity and that happiness together." "I feel like Peanut and Pablo have been by my side through various parts of my life. They're that consistent, like they have literally been there." "If it's not dog-friendly, it's almost like it doesn't exist to me. Can I just bring my dog?" “I think it breaks my heart that people got them for the wrong reasons. A dog's not just for Christmas, it's for life." ABOUT THE HOST Aneka Johnson, founder of The Cuddle Club and co-founder of London Dog Week, is a purpose-driven entrepreneur and devoted dog mum to her French bulldog, Chubbs. Her journey as a ‘pet-preneur’ began while battling health challenges, anxiety, and depression - until Chubbs changed her life.

    • Understanding Canine Dermatitis: A Deep Dive into Skincare Solutions for Dogs

      Understanding Canine Dermatitis: A Deep Dive into Skincare Solutions for Dogs
      Jan 6 2026
      In this episode, Aneka welcomes Dr. Ineke Meredith, founder of Fur Love, to the podcast to discuss the often-overlooked topic of dog skincare and its importance for overall skin health. With a personal story about her own dog Charlie, who suffered from dermatitis, Dr. Meredith shares her journey from being a surgeon to creating a line of skincare products specifically designed for dogs. They discuss the cultural shift in dog ownership, the significance of proper skincare routines, and the science behind canine dermatitis. KEY TAKEAWAYS Just like humans, dogs can suffer from skin issues such as dermatitis, and proper skincare is essential for their health and comfort. Moisturisation plays a crucial role in managing skin conditions. There has been a significant change in how society views dogs, with many people treating them as family members rather than just pets. This shift has led to increased interest in dog skincare and overall well-being. Managing canine atopic dermatitis is a long-term commitment that requires patience and consistency. Dog owners should be prepared for a journey of trial and error, understanding that improvement takes time. Working with veterinarians is essential for developing effective skincare products for dogs. There is a growing recognition in the veterinary community of the importance of moisturisation and skincare in managing skin diseases. Implementing a straightforward skincare routine, such as regular washing with appropriate products and moisturising, can significantly improve a dog's skin health. Even small actions, like wiping down a dog after outdoor activities, can make a difference. BEST MOMENTS "Dogs and humans have the same skin at the level of pathology of dermatitis. But we know how to manage human dermatitis, and moisturisation is key." "If you know how much work it's actually going to take, you would never do it. I always say this about anybody that's an entrepreneur." "The single most important thing you can do is actually invest in some good skincare, good hygiene, moisturising skincare, skin barrier protection like we do for ourselves." "If dog parents could take away just one thing about their dog's skincare regime, it would be that it's a journey." "We can do that simply by instituting a good shampoo conditioner regime. It's not as hard as we think."

    • The Cultural Shift in Dog Ownership: Why Skincare Matters for Our Furry Friends

      The Cultural Shift in Dog Ownership: Why Skincare Matters for Our Furry Friends
      Dec 16 2025
      In this episode, Aneka welcomes Samantha Renke, a special guest who shares her inspiring journey from being a surgeon to creating The Fur Love, a skincare brand dedicated to improving the lives of dogs suffering from dermatitis. Aneka and Samantha delve into the challenges of finding effective skincare solutions for pets, the cultural shift in how dog owners view their furry companions, and the importance of proper skincare routines. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cultural Shift in Dog Ownership: There has been a significant change in how society views dogs, with many people treating them as family members rather than just pets. Importance of Moisturization: Just like humans, dogs require proper skincare to manage conditions like dermatitis. Moisturization is crucial for maintaining the skin barrier and can significantly improve the quality of life for dogs suffering from skin issues. Long-Term Commitment: Managing canine atopic dermatitis is a long-term journey that involves trial and error. Dog owners should be prepared for a process that may require ongoing adjustments in skincare routines and veterinary care. Collaboration with Veterinarians: Building trust and working alongside veterinarians is essential for promoting effective skincare for dogs. Educating vets about the importance of moisturization can help change traditional approaches to managing skin conditions in dogs. Effective Ingredients: Key ingredients like coconut oil and manuka honey have proven benefits for dog skincare. These natural components can help improve skin hydration and barrier function, making them valuable in formulating effective dog care products. BEST MOMENTS "I always knew that it was not going to be my forever... she needed skin care and it didn't exist." "The only thing that changes the skin barrier is moisturization, and it's the same for humans." "If you understand that actually there's a lot of trial and error, and it's a long path, and it's a lifelong path, and actually it's totally manageable, that would be the one key thing." "If you know how much work it's actually going to take, you would never do it." "You have to keep going. You have to keep looking. You have to keep thinking."
