Val Talks Pets

Hi everyone, and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets. You know we all love our pets, and one way we show them how much we love them is by giving them treats. We give our dogs treats when they finish their meals, when they come in from outside, or just for being good boys or girls. Cats tend to get treats whenever, but some get them before bedtime, at a specific time of the day, or to get them to come inside. We also like to share our food with them sometimes. Some people are adamant about "no people food!", but I often make an extra potato or a few carrots for Tundra to add to his food. Cats tend to like to lick fat-based foods like yogurt or ice cream containers. All this loving, however, can sometimes leave us asking Is My Pet Fat?

Well snuggle up with your fur baby and listen in to find out, Because Knowing Is Caring!

Hi everyone and thanks for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets.  On this episode I want to explore something that has been happening in the veterinary world that to be honest, I’m not too sure about.  I don’t know about you, but when it comes to veterinary care for my pets, I want to be able to see the vet that I have established a relationship with and the one that I know isn’t recommending unnecessary tests or procedures or is basically upselling me.  Sounds reasonable?  Well of late, many vet clinics have sold to veterinary corporations.   Is this a good or bad thing?

Hello everyone, and welcome to this episode of Val Talks Pets.

Well, the weather has finally changed and it's time to talk about summer safety and summer activities with our pets.
There are definitely some summer do's and don'ts for pets, and some equipment that you might want to have on hand for activities on hot days. 

With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to reprise my Summer Safety episode, and add an extended intro to it.

So find a place in the shade, snuggle up with your fur baby and listen in, Because Knowing Is Caring!

Hi everyone and thanks for joining me on this spotlight episode of Val Talk’s Pets.  One of the breeds of dog that I have heard increase in popularity over the last little while is the German shorthaired pointer or what people are referring to as GSP’s.  I remember when only a handful of particular people had heard of the GSP but now it seems like every week I hear that someone has a GSP.  Let's see why.
So if you can, snuggle up with your fur baby and listen in, Because Knowing Is Caring!

Hi everyone and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets.  After my last episode’s interview with animal communicator Joan Ranquet, I decided that this would be an ideal opportunity to discuss how our pets communicate with us.
So if you can, snuggle up with your fur baby and listen in, Because Knowing Is Caring!

Hi everyone, and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets.  Last episode I talked about Animal in Arts and the TV animal stars that generations had known and loved.  It was super fun revisiting some stars like Rin Tin Tin, Flipper, Skippy and of course Lassie.  But, as we know, the amount of animals in the movies are extensive, so I thought I’d pick out what I thought to be the most popular, and have a chat about them.

 Hi everyone, and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets.
There really is a history to animals in television shows, and I wondered how these animals came to actually be performing in a recurrent role for a television show? So, with no further ado, let’s take a look at our favourite animal featured television shows through history.

Hi everyone, and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets.  In this episode I’d like to begin by asking some questions.  Have you ever wondered if your pet knows that you love them?  Do you ever wonder how much they understand what we are saying?  Are they trying to communicate with us?
Well then join me and we'll find out.

Hi everyone and thank you for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets. 
Sometimes our animals do things that the average non-pet person would really cringe over, but us seasoned pet owners just shake our heads and carry on.  So let’s take a look at some of these things our pets do and see if I can’t find some answers as to why.
