In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn explores the importance of biosecurity for pet pigs—a topic that is rarely discussed but critically important for keeping pigs healthy and safe.

Autumn explains what biosecurity is and why it applies to pet pigs just as much as it does to farm animals. She shares how simple, everyday choices—such as footwear, visitor management, and exposure to public spaces—can significantly impact a pig's health. Drawing from real-life practices on her own homestead, Autumn discusses how she handles boarding, training, and introducing pigs from different environments to reduce the risk of disease, parasites, and bacterial exposure.

The episode also highlights often-overlooked risks found in public spaces, including dog parks, farm stores, and parks where pigs may be exposed to harmful bacteria, parasites, or toxic substances. Autumn emphasizes that biosecurity is not about fear, but about prevention and responsible pig ownership.

This episode encourages pig owners to be more intentional about where their pigs go, what they're exposed to, and how to create a safer, more controlled environment—helping ensure a long, healthy life for the pigs they love.
