A Dog's Life with Anna Webb

Blue Cross: End the Trend!

Listen on

Episode notes

This week Anna is joined by Blue Cross Veterinary Surgeon, Roisin Bolger, who is talking about the Charity’s #EndTheTrend petition. It calls for the UK's leading brands to commit by the end of 2022 to phasing out the use of any brachycephalic pets in their future advertisements.

Flat face breeds have become hugely popular and the Charity has seen an exponential rise in abandoned French Bulldogs, Boston Terrier, British Bulldogs in the past two years as owners were unaware of their possible health conditions and cannot afford to pay for their vet bills.

The Blue Cross has been helping all animals since 1897 re-homing unwanted or abandoned pets, offering vet care and promoting animal welfare. It’s our responsibility as a nation of animal lovers to do just this!
