Have you ever been mesmerized by the vibrant hues of fall? Experienced the joy of watching your furry friend sniffing out new scents or chuckling over their adorable encounters with elusive beavers? Pet Chat is back, and in this episode, we reminisce about these delightful experiences with our pets Bunsen Beaker and Ginger. We also share a poignant poem capturing the essence of an Albertan fall, a beautiful reminder to relish every moment before winter sets in. 

This episode also addresses some essential pet health topics. We delve into the challenging journey of managing pet diabetes, sharing useful tips and experiences to help you better care for your pets. Jamie opens up about her pet, Rose, and her involvement with One Foot Forward, a program by the Black Dog Institute for Mental Health Research. Pet grief is another topic we touch on, comparing the magnitude of loss one feels for a pet to that of losing a family member, and discussing ways to cope with this heartbreaking experience. 

Our conversation doesn't stop there! We explore the intriguing world of pet rental services and the rigorous training programs guide dogs undergo before being accepted into service. Aging and longevity in pets is another fascinating topic we dive into, discussing groundbreaking research and technologies aiming to extend our pets' lives, like the Dog Aging Project and AI. 

Come join us as we navigate the complex and wonderful world of pets and pet care.
