The Baroo: A Podcast for Dogs and Their People

Dr. Lindsey Wendt co- hosts our chat with Dr. Renee Schmid, a veterinary toxicologist from Pet Poison Helpline, who sheds light on the all-too-common issue of toxicity in pets during the festive period. From chocolate to poinsettias, human medications, decorations,  xylitol,  marijuana and more.  Dr. Schmid  highlights the common everyday hazards that pets may fall prey to, underscoring the importance of keeping these items out of their reach.
She  also offers practical advice for when your furry friend ingests something potentially toxic. Learn the vital importance of staying calm, gathering information, and understanding how certain substances can affect your pet. We wrap up with a look at the crucial role of veterinary clinics and public education in raising awareness about toxin concerns.

I had the  incredible opportunity to speak with the founders of GREY2K USA Worldwide, a non-profit organization that has been a major force in the fight against commercial greyhound racing. Beginning as a modest grassroots effort, these passionate activists have made remarkable strides in bringing an end to most greyhound racing in the United States.
We discuss their life long commitment to ending this cruel sport and their new book  Brooklyn Goes Home a story  of how one greyhound sparked a movement to close the worst dog track in the world.
