This podcast is sponsored by Pet Plan who are the UK's number one pet insurer.

I've always used Pet Plan for Raymond as they cover things other insurers don't

and they can even pay your vet directly, which can be a big help. No Raymond that doesn't mean you can spend

all the extra cash on treats. Terms, conditions and excesses apply. Pet plan is a

trading name of Allian's Insurance PLC.

Oh Tim, this is my favourite kind of grass.

It's the classic, isn't it?

It's your classic downtown Abbey Labrador's bum.
