The Baroo: A Podcast for Dogs and Their People

In this special episode I chat with Aleksandra Schiffer, president and founder of the Los Angeles non-profit I Stand with My Pack (https://istandwithmypack.org/). We chat about the animal shelter crisis that is happening in Los Angeles right now. With a record number of dogs — upwards of three times the normal rate — being relinquished, abandoned, and dumped, shelters are at capacity. Some shelters are housing as many as five dogs in kennels made for one, and the euthanasia rate is quickly rising simply because they do not have the space or resources to care for these dogs. We chat about some of the reasons behind this crisis and what really needs to change to help these animals.

In this episode I talk about Animal Bioscience, a new anti-aging company for pets, originally founded by David Sinclair. David Sinclair is a Professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, and one of the world’s leading researchers on aging and age-associated diseases. I chat with Animal Bioscience CEO Nick Sinclair, Chief Veterinary Officer Ginny Rentko, and Dr. Heather Oxford, a holistic veterinarian who specializes in mobility and anti- aging in our pets. We chat about Animal Bioscience's game- changing new  supplement, Leap Years, which is a two-part cellular health system that slows the effects of aging and extends the health and vitality of our best friends.  My dog Chance has been taking Leap Years as part of their compassionate use program for close to 3 months now, and I am thrilled to say that we are already seeing some improvement in his mobility and cognitive function.

In this episode I chat with lost pet psychic, Hilary Renaissance. For over 20 years, Hilary has been helping pet owners worldwide locate their lost or stolen beloved pets. She is also able to use her psychic abilities to consult on behavior issues, health and wellness concerns, as well as  helping pet parents share messages with their pets that have crossed over the rainbow bridge. We chat about when she realized she had this ability,  why we should be mindful of some of the expectations we may have of a pet psychic and how she can help us improve the relationships we have with our pets. She also shares some of her amazing  success stories!

In this episode I chat with Karoline Edmunds of Dog Mom Mentality. Karoline shares with us her journey on how she helped  her reactive dog Layla conquer some of her fears, and gain confidence. How thorough the process of working with Layla, Karoline  was able to heal her own mental health struggles, strengthen her own communication skills, and really find confidence within. She has also built a community through social media to share her empowering messages with other dog guardians who may  be feeling emotional challenges in their own journey. We chat about how to be more mindful, how journaling really helped her, and how lessons of dog guardianship can really carry into our every day lives

 Jumping into the first episode of 2023 with probably the hardest topic when it comes to pet ownership, and that is hospice care and euthanasia . While I am not certain anything can fully prepare us for the emotional side of pet loss, I think understanding the practical side and the technical side of end of life can hopefully help make it a little less scary. In this episode  I chat with Dr. Nick Labriola, DVM of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice. Lap of Love is a network of veterinarians around the country with the goal of empowering every owner to care for their geriatric pets. Dr. Nick, who specializes in end of life care and euthanasia, chats about what to expect from hospice care, what to expect from euthanasia, what to look for in our pups, and how to know when it’s time to make those difficult decisions.
