In this episode we talk about the vaccines and the frequencies we do them, and why this is the case- as well as other testing and treatments we do to prevent and treat fleas, heartworm and other "worms" typically seen, especially in puppies.

One thing we did not mention is that when we speak of "coronavirus" in our dogs, it is well before COVID19 and is NOT AT ALL RELATED. Just like "the common cold" is a coronavirus, so there is one for dogs too- but it's not COVID19.

This week we discuss resource guarding which is a very common problem that most people can fix themselves without spending a ton of time and money. Once you understand it, it is easy to manage in most instances. Learn more about this relatively simple problem that kills many dogs every year because most people feel unequipped to handle.

This episode is about the many reasons we (and shelters) receive pets from owners who cannot keep their animals any longer. The list is long! While surrender is one way to solve a problem the animals are not always rehomable- or the problems people are experiencing have relatively simple solutions. We help the families get clarity on the next steps- especially whether surrender is required or if some help is all they need.

This week's Adoptable Roadie is Mark Ikagami, aka Ick. He is a really sweet, shy guy who would love an experienced handler and a new dog friend to grow with.
