WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN? 

The experience of letting go has evolved. In this episode we will discuss different ways of memorializing your beloved, when to start thinking about it/planning for it and also some beautiful heartfelt thoughts on what to do for a friend or loved one who is grieving right now. Don't miss this out on this important and heartwarming episode every pet parent can learn from.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Every fur mom and dad dread the day we will inevitably have to let go of our beloved fur baby. It is a thought we often force out of our minds because the thought is simply too hard to bear.

Living without our most beloved family member and picturing a life without their unconditional love, how they look when they sleep, how they strut, how they play, snore, eat, bark, how they make you laugh and how much they make your life worth living...it is an image that can bring you to tears even before their time has arrived. 

But what if some good planning can help you through the process when their time comes to cross the rainbow bridge ? Mitchell Kassman who is a fierce dog lover will describe the amazing send off he provided for his best friend "Freckles" and what was important to him.

How does she do it all? What can WE do to help? I have so, so many questions...let's dive in!

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Every Single Creature

Who would you call if you stumbled onto an injured swan in your pool or a deer which may have been struck by a car? What would you do if you found a wounded mouse or a raccoon with a limp? 

Well, our guest Lisa Jaeger is the one who gets those calls and responds to them too! Her unparalleled conviction and limitless dedication to the voiceless are no doubt also directly correlated to her mega success in real estate. She rescues wildlife and runs a rescue and in her spare time is the number one producer for Elliman on Long Island, NY.

How does she do it all? What can WE do to help? I have so, so many questions...let's dive in!

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

What is dog food traditionally made of and what are the different types of food grades for canines? Let's also shine a light on what types of ailments dog owners can address by feeding their dogs a raw diet.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Have you noticed that more and more dogs seem to suffer from allergies? How about other chronic illnesses and/or ailments? No doubt that bad breeding has contributed to this epidemic but what about the food? 

How many of us actually read the labels and have a clear understanding of what goes into what we feed our best friends? If food is medicine, perhaps we all should have a better picture of what we are providing our beloved fur babies with on a daily basis.

Learn all about the history and the making of Heather's Heroes and how they're saving lives. Can your dog benefit from having one? How do you know if your dog may need behavior modification? Let's find out! 

One of our favorite shows to watch in my household is The Profit with Marcus Lamonis. We are partial to entrepreneurship and so we watch that and Shark Tank...a lot! My favorite businesses are of course the ones that offer a pet product or service. So, when Heather's Heroes aired, I was especially locked in. 

As always, necessity is the mother of invention. As a pet professional and avid dog lover, Heather Beck knew all too well what happens to dogs who may have a tendency to be nervous, scared, reactive, and/or have a prey drive. It often does not do well for the dog and Heather wanted to help mitigate this problem so she invented a solution.

Learn about the many health benefits of pet therapy. We will discuss the effects that pets have on our cardiovascular, our stress levels, our exercise routines, our desire to live longer because we want to be there for them for as long as possible and how they even help to improve our memory.

Be ready for some heartwarming stories and some fun ones too. We can't wait to share some personal anecdotes that will surely bring a smile to your face because let's face it...animals RULE!

We all know that animals provide us with emotional benefits like unconditional love, tons of hysterical moments, and heart-melting memories. In fact, right now as I type, my little cat Phoebe is purring in my lap and head-butting my forearm as if to say "stop working and scratch my forehead already!" It's simply impossible not to oblige her, but I digress...
