Victoria chats with Dr. Sophie Bell about neutering (spaying) female dogs.
Dr. Sophie Bell has been a vet for over 14 years, is a qualified dog groomer, as well as a well-being advocate. She’s passionate about holistic health and considers the whole animal when treating and diagnosing. Animal Love Pet First Aid is her educational gig, where she’s developed several courses to help pet carers and pet professionals so that we can do the best we can for our animals.
Sophie has several special interests, one of which is neutering and how it affects our dogs. Today we’re going to talk about female dogs, or bitches for 30 minutes or so. If at the end you find you’re itching to learn more and get more knowledge, I highly recommend visiting the Animal Love website and purchasing her webinar. It doesn’t cost the earth and delivers in abundance.

Zara Jackson began her animal training career in 2008 when she started a voluntary position in a local zoo in their sea lion and penguin section. Zara moved onto a full-time position as a sea lion trainer and was hooked on the science and art of animal training. She then set up and supervised animal training programmes for other species across the zoo including large carnivores, small mammals and birds. Having seen the welfare benefits for sea lions she was keen for other species to benefit from training for cooperative care too.
In 2021 Zara opened her dog training business Tarka Dog Training based in Devon UK. She specialises in working with reactive dogs and dogs with a fear of grooming and vet visits.
Zara sat down for a conversation with Victoria to share some of her cooperative training experiences.

Holly is the Founder of fresh vegan dog food company Fleetful.
She started working with renowned vegan vet nutritionist Dr Arielle Griffiths after realizing she couldn’t naturally solve her dog’s digestion issues with the commercial food available to her. With Dr. Griffiths help, she learned all about the benefits that plant-based feeding can have on canine health.
After transitioning her dog to a fresh organic plant-based diet, his problems disappeared. Holly also noticed many other health benefits so decided to take the leap in 2020 and start Fleetful - easy recipe kits for dogs. She worked with Dr Arielle and German pet nutritionists to come up with Fleetful’s first recipe kit, an easy way owners can feed fresh vegan meals to their dogs. Two years on, Fleetful have now launched a gluten and corn free kit which is formulated for healthy skin. Fleetful also offer high nutrient treat kits and all ingredients are organically sourced.
Holly believes that dogs are only with us a very short time so we should be feeding them the absolute best. -
