Steven Mornelli of Waggle.org has set out to provide a last-chance safety net for pets in medical crisis. He has created a crowdfunding platform specifically for pet owners struggling to pay their dog’s medical bills.
What is this platform? How can pet owners get the help they need? Steven will explain all of that and tell you how you can help pets in need in my latest podcast episode.

All dogs require grooming from time to time. Of course, some breeds require much more grooming than others. Every dog needs their ears cleaned, nails trimmed, teeth brushed and should be bathed occasionally. Did you know that keeping your dog well-groomed will aid in his overall health and well-being?

In this podcast episode, Tim explains the importance of regular grooming for ALL dogs and how to find a groomer that is right for you and your pooch. He also discusses how he started Scenthound and why he wanted to create a grooming business unlike any other.

This topic is especially important for first-time pet owners, but it’s also beneficial information for anyone that may recommend pet ownership to friends or family.

Fostering is a great way to help pets in need. Virtually every shelter and rescue organization around the world is in need of foster families to home pets until a forever home can be found. It’s not just a benefit to the shelter, it can also be extremely rewarding to the foster parent as well.
