Episode 25. Margrit Strohmaier, Author of What to Know Before You Get Your Dog

Inspired by her daughter’s “relentless campaign” for a dog of her own, Margrit is the author of What to Know Before You Get Your Dog. When she couldn’t find a children’s book that described the responsibilities of dog ownership in a way that kids could understand, Margrit decided to write it herself.  Then with the boom of dog ownership during COVID-19, Margrit was further motivated to get the book published to help all the families now considering dog ownership.


Margrit & I discuss:

  • Margrit’s childhood experiences with pets;
  • Pet ownership in the country of Austria, where Margrit grew up;
  • Her daughter’s “relentless campaign” for a dog of her own;
  • The unexpected challenges her family faced when they tried to get her daughter the dog she wanted;
  • All of the research and preparations Margrit and her family did to prepare for owning a toy breed dog;
  • The potential danger of eating 1 chocolate chip for a toy breed dog;
  • All of the challenges and rewards of owning a toy breed dog;
  • How COVID-19 motivated Margrit to finish her book; and
  • Preparing your dog for traveling overseas.
