In this week’s episode of The Pet Perspective, we're taking a deep-dive into many pet’s worst nightmare, bonfire night, and how to help anxious animals with noise phobias. (Including a few things to do at short notice to help keep your pet calm.)

This week we’re joined by veterinary behaviourist Dr Julie Ashton, owner of Life on Four Legs behaviour consultation service. She shares her expertise on how to help your dog or cat cope with the stress of bonfire night, and which gadgets and supplements are good (or bogus) when it comes to calming your pet.

• The role pain can play in fear and phobias
• What to do in the days before bonfire night to help settle your pets
• Recognising when to get expert help, and who to approach
• Why some dogs really like 90s RnB
