On this week’s episode, we debate P.D.A. with pets—is it actually safe to let your pup lick your face? REAL SIMPLE editors Leslie Corona, Muzam Agha, and Amy Maclin discuss the hygiene question at hand (and fail to understand dog lovers worldwide). Then Leslie chats with the main guest, Season 9 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, Sasha Velour, about her new book. Plus, she shares her unique rules for smooches from her Italian greyhound. We also hear from celebrity chef Carla Hall and beloved Peloton instructor, Kirsten Ferguson on the controversial subject. At the end of the episode, Casey Barton Behravesh, DVM, director of the CDC’s One Health Office, will explain if a little dog slobber on the cheek is truly harmless.
