Season 4, Ep 5 - Breathing Easier: Rethinking Welfare for Flat-Faced Dogs

Flat-faced breeds are among the most loved dogs in the UK, but they are also among the most vulnerable when it comes to respiratory compromise and chronic health challenges. In this episode, we’re joined by Lindsey Taylor, Co-Founder of OxyPet, and Karla Pearson of No Bull Just Natural Health for Dogs, to explore the realities of airway health in brachycephalic breeds. We discuss what the science tells us about oxygenation, exercise tolerance and thermal stress, what pet parents should be looking out for, and how we can shift the conversation from normalising struggle to prioritising welfare.
