Pawspectives Petcast

Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the hardest moments a pet parent will ever face.  For many of us, it feels like a sudden full stop - and the grief lingers long after the final farewell.

But what if there was a gentler way to honour their life? 

In this heartfelt episode, Amanda Andrea, founder of Green Goodbye Paws, joins us to share Asia’s first pet composting funeral service. This is a compassionate and eco-friendly alternative to cremation and burial. 

She opens up about her own experience losing her dog, and how that pain inspired her to build a service that helps pet parents heal, remember, and move with their grief instead of rushing through it.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What pet composting actually is and how it works

• Why more pet parents are choosing plants over urns

• How composting transforms grief into new life

• Amanda’s deeply personal story behind creating Green Goodbye Paws

• How pet parents can process guilt, regret, and the pressure to “move on”

Is your pet’s “picky eating” or sudden behaviour change actually a sign of dental pain?

In this eye-opening episode, Yen Teng speaks with Alex Soh, a pet dental hygienist with 17 years of experience in anesthesia-free dental cleaning for dogs and cats.

Most pet parents focus on food, grooming, supplements, and exercise - but dental health is often the most overlooked part of our pet’s wellness.

Alex shares why tartar buildup can quietly lead to pain, infections, organ issues, loss of appetite, and even behavioural shifts that many owners mistake for “aging.”

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✨ Why brushing is more important than dental chews

✨ How tartar affects the heart, kidneys, and lifespan

✨ How to check your pet’s teeth at home

✨ When anesthesia-free vs. anesthetic dental cleaning is appropriate
