The Pet Place Radio Show with Dr. Marie Hulett

The Irvine Animal Care Center’s “Home for the Holidays” is coming right up so we have invited Craig Reem, the Director of Public Affairs & Communications for the City of Irvine to tell us all about what’s in store this year.  And after our halftime break, Maryanne Dell, our resident book reviewer, will be checking in with either a new batch of books that she has reviewed, or some information about some cool holiday gifts for pets...she’s keeping us in suspense about which direction she is going in this morning so we’re all going to have to stay tuned to find out more!

This morning Marie is going to talk technology.  She loves reviewing new products that can help keep pets safe so she have invited Lorien Clemens from PetHub to stop by in a bit to give us all the details on a new product that will help locate a lost pet quickly. Then, after our halftime break, she’ll be speaking with Dr. Matthew Wheaton, the veterinarian who treated a puppy who chewed off its foot after its owners left it tethered and unattended in the back yard.  This practice is unsafe and illegal yet it is still so commonplace.  It’s a sad story that needs to be told, and fortunately, it has a happy ending.

This morning, Marie chats with author Marc Bekoff about society’s attitude toward wildlife and what we can do to happily coexist. Then, after our halftime break, our long time pet place friend, Russell Taylor, from Modjeska Ranch Rescue has some amazing tails to tell.  If you’ve never heard Russell’s stories in the past, you are in for a treat.

Host Marie Hulett talks with Chris Ruben from adoptashelter.com, a great way to shop while supporting shelters.  Then, after our halftime break, Rich Avanzino, from Maddie’s fund has some great news about the largest and most successful adoption event that I’ve ever heard of.  You won’t believe how many homeless pets were placed into loving families.

This morning, Marie speaks with Will Bowen the CEO of Go Go Dog Pals, a company whose mission it is to keep pets from getting bored and staying active. Then, after our halftime break, we’ll be discussing the topic of ebola and pets with Dr. Doug Aspros.  I know there are a lot of concerns about this issue so we’re going to address as many as possible during the time we have together.

We’ve got a great show planned for you today.  First up, we’ll be speaking with Cheryl McNeil Fisher, author of a heartwarming children’s story about the adventures of a young woman and her beloved guide dog!  It’s actually her own true life story.   Then, after our halftime break, animal communicator and behavior trainer Terri Stuben will be stopping by to go over all the dos and don’ts for keeping your pets safe, healthy, and happy at Halloween.

In this episode, Marie invited Current President Eric Kern of the Parrot Education and Adoption Center to share all the latest news from this organization. And after our halftime break, Maryanne Dell will be reviewing a few animal books by one of her favorite authors.

Today, we’re going to find out about a lion cub that lived at the Plaza Hotel with a Russian Princess, among other famous and wonderful pets that are memorialized forever at the only pet cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Ed Martin, the Vice President of Hartsdale will be stopping by shortly to tell the tales of these wonderful animals and the love they shared with their human families. Then, after our halftime break, Justin Silver, host of TV’s Dogs in the City, will be sharing a few tidbits from his new book, The Language of Dogs

In the past, I’ve mentioned that I support companies that take a cruelty free approach to their products and one of the most amazing companies in this regard in the John Paul Mitchell Systems salon products company.  The co-founder, John Paul DeJoria is a huge animal advocate, and his non-profit John Paul Pet Pal is making huge strides into helping to care for dogs of deployed military personnel so that no pets need to be given up.  It’s a pretty amazing program and Gina Dial, the VP of Sales & Marketing for John Paul Pet, will be stopping by shortly to tell us all about it.   And after our halftime break, Robin Ganzert, the President and CEO of the American Humane Association will be sharing some terrific stories about the animal stars who are watched over and kept safe by her wonderful organization!

Then, after our halftime break, animal advocate Joe Fleishon will be stopping by to talk about how his organization is raising money to help all kinds of animal causes.
