You know what they say... If it's on the internet, then it must be true! Well, sorry to bee a buzzzzzz kill, but, there’s A LOT of fake news in the world. The spread of false information has become a serious challenge to evidence-based decision-making and science communication. So, how can one attempt to cut through the noise and separate fact from fiction?

Join the Amys and their brilliant guest, Dr. Erica Feuerbacher – professor, researcher, and applied animal behavior extraordinaire – for a closer look at what makes research valuable and valid. We discuss how to critically read research papers, what to consider when confronted with claims, and how to evaluate sources for signs of credibility. Ditch the rose-colored glasses and grab a cocktail as we get down to business exposing the dirty underbelly of research publication.

Working in the pet behavior field isn't always rainbows and unicorns. Instead, sometimes it involves the Rainbow Bridge. This topic is often misunderstood and stigmatized as the dark side of behavior. However, in science and in life, it is essential we refrain from drawing conclusions or placing blame without weighing facts and exploring varying points of view. One perspective is that the practice of euthanasia is a painless and humane way of releasing a pet from their suffering when all other means have been exhausted, and can be considered a compassionate and selfless gift.

Join The Amys and their extra special guest, researcher, and applied animal behaviorist, Miranda Hitchcock, co-founder of Every Dog Austin Behavior & Training, for a heart to heart discussion about this sensitive, but necessary topic. Learn about the most common reasons or considerations for behavioral euthanasia, and how to best support those faced with difficult decisions in challenging times.

Who is to blame for the lack of behavioral medicine in our veterinary education system? Certainly NOT the Amys! In this episode, the Amys tackle the state of veterinary behavior medicine education in North America with their colleague, Dr. Chris Pachel, DACVB. Dr. Chris educates veterinary students and veterinarians around the globe on behavior medicine, so why is there still such bad advice coming out of the mouths of our veterinarian friends and colleagues? What are we to do about that? Can trainers and clients even trust what their vet says about behavior?

Take a listen and learn more with Amy, Gwendolyn 👀, and David…
