We’re all stressed out, there’s no denying it. Between the pandemic and how that has changed our lives along with the regular stress of day-to-day life, now we have the holidays. Can the stress we are feeling be passed to our pets by us? Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Marie Hopfensperger chats with Steve about how we stress out our pets as well as some ways we can help them feel more calm.

There’s a new comic book that pet lovers can really rally around. Here Comes Calico is the first in a series of comics about a new superhero who goes after anyone who abuses animals. And proceeds from the comic are benefiting groups that make a difference in stopping animal abuse. The author, H.H. German joins Steve to talk about this new pet hero.
