Listen "Puppies don't always make you happy"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Re:frame, we explore the emotional ups and downs of bringing a new puppy into your life, challenging the idealised notion of puppyhood as nothing but joyful. From feelings of overwhelm to navigating the day-to-day struggles, we discuss how new pet owners can find balance and support during this time. We’re joined by Dr Jackie Boyd, Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University’s School of Animal, Rural & Environmental Sciences. Dr Boyd’s expertise spans parasitology, genetics, performance animal biology and anthrozoology, with a special focus on dog health and welfare.
