In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske talks with Kat Donatello, founder of Austin and Kat, about how to prepare pets for the stress of fireworks and summer noise using holistic, supplement-based strategies. With years of experience in CBD and plant-based pet wellness, Kat breaks down her go-to calming protocols—especially around the 4th of July.

They explore the development of Austin and Kat's best-selling Bailey's No More Wiggles line, the benefits of CBD and CBDA, and how early, consistent dosing can make a big difference for noise-sensitive pets. Kat also explains the importance of safe spaces, enrichment, and brainwork in keeping dogs balanced during stressful events.

The conversation also dives into daily anxiety management, the importance of product sourcing, and what sets Austin and Kat apart—including their Seattle-based manufacturing facility and recent NASC certification. Kat and Toni wrap with a powerful message: support indie retailers, read your labels, and don't wait until July 3rd to take action.
