  • Which Daycare Would Your Dog Pick?
    Susan Briggs is a Certified Professional Animal Care Operator, author, speaker, and pet business expert. She brings over 18 years of experience in the pet industry with 12 years as co-owner and operator of a successful dog daycare, lodging, grooming and training business in Houston, Texas. As founders of The Dog Gurus, Susan and Robin Bennett are the authors of Off-Leash Dog Play… A Complete Guide to Safety and Fun, and an extensive staff training program called, Knowing Dogs, which are the leading staff training resources for dog daycare and boarding facilities. Their mission is helping pet care professionals get their lives back by showing them how to create sustainable businesses with teams that truly know dogs.
    When would daycare be a good option for a dog vs hiring a dog walker?
    Susan, for some, choosing a daycare can be stressful, almost like selecting a preschool for their kids.  What are some things to consider when making this important decision?
    The daycare industry is pretty much unregulated right?  So, not all daycares are created equal? 
    Are there some good questions to ask the facility?
    How can you tell if your dog actually likes the doggy daycare experience?
    What is the typical cost of a good daycare?
    Susan, where can everyone find out more information about you and the Dog Gurus?

  • The Chemical State of Dog Food
    Hello Dog Lovers!  This promises to be another amazing episode!  I am a huge fan of Dr. Katie Kangas and I’m sure you’ll agree.  She’s just a wealth of knowledge! 
    Dr. Kangas owns and operates Integrative Veterinary Care, a private practice in San Diego, California, offering holistic and integrative health care options for pets.  Her areas of special interest include nutrition, functional medicine, dental health, and pain management.  Dr. Kangas has authored several articles published in veterinary journals and pet magazines, and shares her passion for pet wellness education by lecturing and presenting locally, nationally and internationally.
    Dr. Kangas is specifically going to explain how glyphosate is affecting not only us, but our dogs.
    Why don’t you start with an overview of what glyphosate is why it’s so toxic.
    I get why GMO foods would have high levels of glyphosate, but I understand that the non GMO foods have even higher amounts?  Can you explain?
    What is glyphosate actually doing to our dogs’ bodies?
    You’ve used the term that our dogs are becoming “toxic sponges” and are exposed to glyphosate even more than we are.  Please elaborate.
    I know that you’ve written articles about glyphosate’s reactivity to gluten.  Can you share your findings?
    In addition to how our food is grown, is the way it’s cooked and processed.  How does cooking or processing lead to toxicity?
    Can you give us the stats on the glyphosate/antibiotics found in food animals?
    What is the impact of the diet choices we’re feeding our dogs?
    What diseases in dogs are on the rise that you believe have a direct link to glyphosate?
     You recommend that we all get our dogs tested for glyphosate levels?
    HRI has done glyphosate testing on dogs.  What were some of the findings?
    What foods have the highest amounts?
    What about treats?
    What about feeding organic?
    What are some of the solutions?
    Dr. Katie, where can everyone find out more information about you and Integrative Veterinary Care?

  • Disaster Preparedness: How to Save Your Best Friend's Life
    Welcome dog lovers.  I promise that we all are going to learn a lot today.  I am thrilled to have Denise Fleck on the show.  Denise is the Pet Safety Crusader™ having personally taught more than 20,000 humans to rescue Rover or help Fluffy feel better.  Her mission is to help YOU make a difference in the life of an animal through Pet First-Aid, Senior Pet Care and Disaster Preparedness trainings.  She has authored more than a dozen books on these topics, has been named "A Woman of Influence" by Pet Age Magazine, and is the honored President of the Board of Directors of the Grey Muzzle Organization.  Her current focus is teaching the next generation of animal caregivers. 
    And Denise is THE expert on this topic and wrote The Pet Safety Crusader's My Pet & Me Guide to Disaster PAWparedness that was published a few years ago.
    Life happens and when a disaster strikes, many of us are not prepared to care for our dog.  Denise, what types of disasters should we plan ahead for?
    What are some tips on how to be as ready as possible when disaster strikes?
    What about knowing where your pet might hide when stressed or scared?
    Do you prefer any calming remedies such as essential oils, CBD or rescue remedy?
    And I would imagine that things would be easy if your dog knows basic obedience, that will help ensure that your dog stays safe?
    Do you have any stories from people that benefited from having a plan in place?
    What’s involved with your Disaster Preparedness trainings?
    And you offer Disaster Planning for Professional Pet Sitters as well?

  • CBD For Dogs: Healing or Hype?
    Welcome Dog Lovers!  We have a great guest AND great topic in store for us today.  With me is Trey Bonvillain (bon-vil-an), who heads up production and distribution for ABSC Organics, a veterinary CBD company founded in 2016 to research the benefits of CBD for pets.  ABSC Pure Organic CBD Oil™ is the only CBD oil for pets that has completed a Phase One Safety trial and three Phase Two efficacy trials for epilepsy and arthritis. 
    What is CBD?
    What kinds of conditions can CBD help with?
    Why is CBD oil for pets more expensive than CBD oil for humans?  I think cost may play into why a lot of people will purchase human brands instead. But is this really necessary and is it safe?
    What’s the difference between hemp, marijuana and CBD?
    And how about the difference between isolate and full spectrum products?
    Dosing?
    What are the questions we should be asking before buying a CBD product for our dogs?
    What is a C of A?
    I would think that most manufacturers are buying their CBD from third party companies and really don’t have control over the growing, harvesting, extracting, etc. so do they really know for sure what’s in their own products?
    Is there anything that you’d like to mention regarding the trials that you’ve been involved with?
    Any closing thoughts on how we can be smarter when purchasing CBD for our dogs?
    Trey, where can everyone find out more information about you and ABSC Organics?

  • Raw Feeding Overwhelm
    Hi dog lovers!  Welcome to another great show!  Today’s guest, Lisa Ayoette (eye – it), is the owner & creator of Soul'y raw. Lisa started home preparing a raw diet for one very special bulldog with chronic food related illnesses and after seeing the success in her own dog, she quickly realized this was something all dogs and cats needed and from there Soul'y raw was born in 2009.  Family owned and operated for over 10 years, Soul'y Raw now hand makes and processes over 60 products for both dogs and cats using the highest quality ingredients available on the market.
    Lisa, why don’t we start with what were you feeding your little bulldog before you switched to raw.
    Once you switched, what changes did you see?
    Why did you start the company?  Were there not any others offering the same quality products?
    Isn’t it hard to figure out what and how much to feed to make sure their dog is getting all of the correct nutrients and in the right proportions?  Like calcium and phosphorus that are so important.
    How much muscle meat, organs and bone should be fed as part of a raw diet?
    Is there a way to feed a complete and balanced raw diet on a budget?
    Where to start and how to transition?
    Why do you have single protein products?
    Where do you source your meat from and why is that so important?
    Can’t I just go to my local grocer and buy raw meat there?
    When feeding raw, do we need to supplement?
    How do you get recommended from vets? 
    Where to find recipes/formulations?

  • Leaves, Roots & Shoots: The Value of Veg for Dogs
    Hello Dog Lovers!  I have so been looking forward to this interview!  With us is Dr. Sue Armstrong, who is an integrative veterinary surgeon working in her referral practice in Yorkshire, England.  She is the founder of The True Animal Plan, an online education program for animal owners and author of two books:  Cancer in Animals: What is to be Cured and The Little Book of Thinking Dog
    There are people, especially those hard-core raw feeders who think feeding vegetable matter is not necessary.  Why do you think it’s so important to feed our dogs vegetables?
    What benefits do dogs get from plant fiber?
    If a dog eats grass do you believe that they are looking for certain nutrients found only in plant matter?
    Can you run through the simple hierarchy of vegetables to feed and what to avoid?
    You say to think rainbow?
    Is it best to use whatever vegetables are in season?
    Ideally how much of the diet should be vegetables?
    Some people might think that they have to feed veggies everyday?  I think you said before to think in two-week chunks of time.  Can you elaborate?
    You say that we should focus on the quality and not the quantity of the food that we are feeding.  Can you explain?
    Can you explain why dogs can’t digest the starches in whole veggies?  Like if I gave my dog a raw carrot or green bean and it comes out whole on the other end…
    Raw or cooked?  What’s the best way to prepare veggies for your dog?
    Thoughts on Fermented vegetables?
    Do we need to be feeding organic only or are there some veggies that don’t have to be organic?
    Do you want to mention anything about feeding fruits?
    What are your thoughts on the green supplement powders on the market?

  • How Wholesome Nutrition Keeps Your Dog Healthy & Thriving
    Hello Dog Lovers!  I have to warn you that I am pretty giddy right now…today’s guest is someone that I couldn’t wait to have on the show!  With us is Dr. Jean Dodds who has been a veterinarian for more than 50 years, graduating when women were pioneers.  She has dedicated her career to helping animals stay healthy, thrive and have long lives.  Dr. Dodds is experienced and widely published in clinical and research fields of hematology, immunology, endocrinology, nutrition and animal welfare.  She is the co-author of two popular books, The Canine Thyroid Epidemic and Canine Nutrigenomics.
    Why don’t we start with what does the term wholesome nutrition mean to you?
    For optimal health, should we be providing homemade diets to our dogs or are there some commercial foods that you recommend? 
    What are the optimal percentages of the macronutrients should we be feeding a healthy adult dog? Proteins, fats and carbs?
    How do we make sure we are feeding a complete and balanced diet?
    Do you believe in feeding a variety of meals/ingredients?
    What do you recommend for pet parents on a budget?
    Can you speak to food allergies and food intolerances?  What’s the difference?
    Why is there so much confusing information out there about what actually is best to feed your dog?  How do we navigate all of the false marketing claims?
    Many people don't feel confident and are afraid they will end up doing more harm than good by trying to feed fresh, wholesome foods...  not only what to feed, but how much to feed.  What do you say to them?
    What are your thoughts on feeding animal proteins vs plant-based proteins?

    Welcome all dog lovers!  I am so honored to have today’s guest with us. 
    Denise Fleck is the Pet Safety Crusader™ having personally taught more than 20,000 humans to rescue Rover or help Fluffy feel better.  Her mission is to help YOU make a difference in the life of an animal through Pet First-Aid, Senior Pet Care and Disaster Preparedness trainings.  She has authored more than a dozen books on these topics, has been named "A Woman of Influence" by Pet Age Magazine, and is the honored President of the Board of Directors of the Grey Muzzle Organization.  Her current focus is teaching the next generation of animal caregivers.
    Denise, why do you have such a soft spot for senior dogs?
    So why should more people adopt older dogs?
    Many of these animals become depressed and are overlooked in favor of younger, cuter dogs.  Why do many ppl overlook bringing home a senior dog?
    Do you think that often times people don’t want the possibility of a painful loss that seems closer with an older dog?
    Some pet parents fear that they won’t be able to develop a bond with a dog who’s older.  Thoughts?
    Do you agree that the age of a dog isn’t a great indicator of how that particular dog will behave?
    What kinds of people would do really well with a senior dog?
    How would you go about finding the perfect senior dog?
    Denise, where can everyone find out more information about you and the Grey Muzzle Organization?
