Beverley Cuddy: The Devil Wears Dog Hair’s Podcast

Beverley Cuddy, founder of the Bark Angels and Editor of Dogs Today, talks to VetChip co-founder Australian vet Dr Garnett Hall. He's developing a chip that passively monitors health and location sending data to the owner's phone and their vet. He's also creating the AI to interpret and mine that data. He's starting his Series A investment round and wants to take his working prototype to the next level. Could this be the first pet unicorn? It's the first in a series of interviews with people who want to change the pet's world. Get to know Garnett - is he the Steve Jobs of our generation? 

Marc shares his insights into how everyone can make a difference to the world. His latest book is #bemoremosquito

Last year I decided to join forces with Tailwise.com. I'd already done everything I could to get rid of puppy farming - but I think this time...we're getting somewhere at last! Do check it out.

First full day of "work" - ie talking about dogs via Zoom. Covid symptoms keep subtly changing, today it was the sensation of cotton wool in the ears. What will day 4 bring - do tune in for tomorrow's update. Tuesday will be another full day on the Zoom... can I keep being positive about being positive?

Not just Betty that's barking, that cough is getting growly. Today's live update wasn't - so it had to be re-recorded with the correct buttons pushed. Will our protagonist's voice last? 

Day one, trying to stay positive about being positive for Covid. Dogs will keep me going. Not just the editor of Dogs Today magazine, I'm also started work a Tailwise.com a tech start up that wants to disrupt the way people are treating dogs like commodities. Can she keep up the pace?

Cat the Vet, dog behaviour expert Jordan Shelley and Dogs Today editor Beverley Cuddy talk about the worrying trend for people to source mutilated puppies and what we can do to stop this vile fashion. 

As you might have gathered, my two favourite things are dogs and films. (Jaffa cakes (the posh ones) close third.)

So, I was very delighted to talk to to the very talented Dominic and Ian Higgins. Do check out their spectacular back catalogue - they run Pixel Revolution Films and they are attracting lot of attention at international film festivals - a cutting edge mix of reality and art.

This was recorded on the day of the premiere of their new animated short film Of Wolves and Men.  You will love it, I promise you. And lovely Peter Egan did the voice over. Their next film will be Fleur, the beautiful little collie cross who has graced our magazine covers twice - a doggie Kate Moss.

She had been very badly mutilated in Romania. Gov-sponsored canine genocide had seen the streets cleared of dogs and them being 'spayed' by people who definitely weren't vets. Fleur hadn't been properly stitched back up and her insides were falling out when the photos did the rounds on Facebook. It's an epic story of a dog refusing to die and never giving up trust in humans despite barbaric treatment.

Well guess what, we helped Wendy and Andrew get Fleur's story published as a book. And guess who saw the front cover on Amazon and fell in love.... well only the Higgins' brothers from Pixel Revolution!

Colin was one of the first professional stunt men, in an era before CGI he was in very many of the blockbuster movies you will have watched. For the first three Star Wars movies he was Luke Skywalker’s stunt double. You’ll have watched him in James Bond movies. He was an extra in Superman on his day off from stunts.

When Jules won Britain's Got Talent it should have been a joyous thing but the media made her life a misery. They became obsessed by there being several highly trained dogs in the act. Had they never heard of stunt doubles? Jules has many strings to her bow and is an accomplished assistance dog trainer. You will also have seen many of her dogs on TV adverts, she's much in demand.
