Let’s Chat About Our Pets Podcast

I love cats they are incredible little creatures!

In this episode we explore and learn more about our furry little friends from what they eat and why they need to eat meat, to their social habits, incredible sense of smell - which could actually be more accurate than a dogs in some cases, cat communication, the powers of the purr and cats in culture around the world.

There are a few behavioural/ science words that are a challenge to pronounce and so I will pop them for you here:

Facultatively social - can show both solitary and social behaviours.

Arachidonic acid - fatty acid needed to maintain skin, coat and kidney health - found in animal fat.

Vomernasal organ - Jacobson's organ.

Have you ever been embarrassed to discover that your beloved pet has fleas?

Well you are far from alone with the majority of pet owners reporting to having felt ashamed, horrified or embarrassed with the presence of fleas.

In this episode we throw this old stigma out and discuss how easy it is for our pets to come into contact with fleas. Don't panic I don't just leave you with the how - we also look at the treatments for fleas and how working with your vet can put your mind at ease.

How is it September already?!

A quick little hi from me to let you all know that we are back with season 3 and with a few fun lil changes, including the name of the podcast changing from "let's chat all things animal behaviour and training" to "Let's Chat About Our Pets Podcast" enabling us to make it even more inclusive of different species and different topics!

Enjoy, Lizzie xx

In this episode we take a look at why we as professionals tell you not to walk your dogs in heats in excess of 25 degrees and what you can do to keep them entertained instead.
