Is your furry friend hogging the mattress—and should they even be there in the first place? 

While we love our four-legged family members, sleeping with pets is a hot topic that deeply divides pet owners. In this episode, Brent is joined by local vet Andrew Cornwell (owner of the Cardiff and Cameron Park veterinary hospitals) to break down the science behind co-sleeping. We look at everything from the emotional comfort and reduced stress to the hygiene risks, broken sleep, and how to handle a notorious bed-hog.

Whether you've got a tiny terrier or a giant Great Dane taking up all the room, find out what’s actually healthy for you and your pet.

• The Comfort Factor: How a pet's presence can lower stress, boost oxytocin, and help you feel more secure at night.

• The 56% Trend: We look at the data behind how many of us share our sleeping space, and why over 86% of puppies choose to sleep near us.

• Hygiene & Health: The non-negotiable rules for grooming, flea treatments, and managing allergy flare-ups if you share the covers.

• The Compromise: Why a dedicated pet bed in your bedroom might give you the best of both worlds without the midnight disruptions.

If you love your cuddles but need a better night's rest, this is the episode for you.
