Radio personality and leading pet wellness advocate, Tracie Hotchner is no shrinking violet. This is a good thing for the listeners of Healthy Pet HQ  - and their pets. Tracie joins host Jodi Ziskin to discuss everything from 'kitty crack' to taking a holistic approach to our pet's lives - and our own.

Tracie began her fascination with dogs and cats by turning her eye as a former investigative reporter on every aspect of living with them, resulting in her encyclopedic resource THE DOG BIBLE: Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know and then THE CAT BIBLE: Everything Your Cat Expects You to Know.

She became an influential force in part because her research uncovered quite a few ground-breaking revelations about the truth behind pet commercial foods and the problems with passively accepting conventional thinking in all aspects of pet welfare.

After many years hosting Dog Talk and Cat Chat on NPR and SiriusXM respectively, Tracie created the Radio Pet Lady Network featuring those shows and more.

Noted Psycologist Ken Wilcox and I will be discussing the pros and cons of social media. I will have a big announcement about my participation in social media.

Healthy Pet HQ loved having Silvie Bordeaux, creator of Muffin's Halo Guide for Blind Dogs on the show.

Silvie shared her story about the inspiration behind Muffin's Halo - he toy poodle Muffin who went blind two years ago due to cataracts. Her poor guy kept bumping into walls and falling down the stairs. He became very depressed and was afraid to move around. She could not let him out of her sight and carried him around everywhere.

She searched the Internet for solutions/assistance and found nothing that could help. That was when she realized the great need for products to assist blind and visually impaired dogs. So Silvie invented Muffin’s Halo Guide For Blind Dogs, a custom designed product to guide blind and visually impaired dogs. It safeguards them from bumping into walls, furniture and other objects. Now Silvie is developing a similar product for cats. 

Once you hear her story, you will know that Silvie has found her calling.

And speaking of sight impaired kitties, Gwen Cooper's book, Homer's Odyssey, about Homer her blind wonder cat, teaches us that love isn't something you see with your eyes. I love this book!!

Controversy on Healthy Pet HQ?

Host Jodi Ziskin, a Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Specialist for Pets, and guest Dr. Patrick Mahaney, an Integrative Veterinarian, agree on many topics when it comes to the health and wellness of pets. However, they do butt heads when the subject is raw food diets.

Are raw foods safe? What are the pros and cons? Why does the American Veterinary Medical Association advise against this type of diet? Why do most holistic veterinarians recommend it?

These and many other questions will be answered, as well as tips on safe preparation and when raw food is simply not appropriate.

We all know that Star Michael Lucas has an amazing body. But did you know that his brain is his biggest muscle. After graduating from the Harvard of Moscow's Law Schools, he immigrated to the USA and formed one of the largest adult film empire's in the world. He is putting his fame and intellect in showing the world what is really going on inside of Russia. As a Russian Jew he is also passionate about keeping Israel the homeland of the Jews. A fascinating man that I am looking forward to interviewing.

Once a homeless cat, abandoned and afraid, Cujo roamed the mean streets of a suburban gated townhouse community in South Florida. 

Sure, folks would give him a pet or some kibble, but the adorable gray tabby wanted only one thing: a permanent home.

That's when he spotted Jodi - and his plan was put into motion. 

Tune in to Healthy Pet HQ to hear Cujo Kitty's story, told by Cujo himself. Learn how he put his plan in motion and how he won over the humans and felines he now calls his family.
