Animals enrich our lives in so many ways, yet sadly like people, some pet pairings don’t work out as planned – leading to many pets being given up for rehoming or abandoned each year. Touching upon dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, rabbits, and more, The Petcast aims to empower pet owners with the information, tips and advice they need in order for everyone on two legs and four to live their best lives together!
Gemma Atkinson comments: “I have grown up with animals and now have two dogs myself - Ollie and Norman - so I know that being a pet owner comes with a ton of fun but is not without its challenges and responsibilities.
Becoming a mother very recently, I’ve also experienced what it’s like to introduce a baby into a home with pets – something that was very new to me, and also daunting because it was so important that all my family members, including the furry ones, get along.
I’m so excited to be hosting The Petcast alongside Blue Cross, with the help of some amazing guests. I’m sure people will enjoy how much we delve into the fascinating, emotional and sometimes bizarre world of living with pets. It’s the perfect one-stop-shop for all your advice, covering a real variety of topics, animals and breeds!”
Blue Cross is the UK’s leading pet charity, and has been helping abandoned, homeless, sick and injured pets since 1897. In 2019 alone, 9,253 pets were helped by their rehoming services across the country, many of which were in their first year of life, or younger, and 31,321 pets were helped by veterinary services at Blue Cross’s hospitals and clinics.
