Blue-green algae has been a hot topic of discussion over the past few months. Did you know that this type of bacteria is toxic to dogs? If you’re not worried about your pet getting sick from blue-green algae, you should be!
Did you know that this bacteria has been identified in all 50 states across the country? Many pets have become ill after ingesting it, and some have even died because of it. The best way to protect your pet from blue-green algae is to educate yourself about what it looks like, how to identify it and the symptoms of ingestion.
In this week’s episode, I’ll explain what this toxic algae is and how you can keep your pet safe from it.
This is the time of year when many families are preparing for the harsh winter months ahead. Other families are gearing up for hurricane season or wondering what they should do to prepare for the next hurricane. No matter what region of the world you live in, it’s important to be prepared for any disaster or emergency that may come your way.
Getting your family prepared for a disaster doesn’t stop with the human members. Do you know where the emergency shelters are located in your area? Do you know which shelters allow pets? Do you have an emergency bag packed for your pets? Do you know what to put in it?
In this week’s podcast episode, I’ll be answering all of these questions and more!
With Veteran’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be a great time to share the story of one of my favorite Veteran’s. Matthew Lamarand is the CEO of Dogology University. He is a United States Military Veteran K9 Handler. He has almost 10 years experience training K9's to scout for explosives.
After realizing that 96% of surrendered dogs never went through any type of obedience training, he dedicated himself to train these rescue pups for service dog work. He rehomes the canines that he works with to families in need of service dogs, and he gives the dogs to these families for FREE! Matthew has trained dogs for children dealing with Diabetes or behavior disorders and Veterans battling symptoms of PTSD.
Today, he’s sharing his story on my podcast!
Most pet owners think that all pee pads are the same. If they need to use these pads for their puppy, they just head to their local pet store and buy the first package they see. In fact, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. There are many different types and sizes of pee pads, and they are all made with different materials.
Another common misconception is that pee pads will actually train your pet to go to the bathroom inside. When used properly with training and reinforcement, pee pads are actually a benefit to pets and owners.
In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Linda Bernier from BARK! She explains the many different uses for pee pads and shares some tips for properly training your pet to use them. She also discusses BARK!’s new line of pee pads and what makes them stand out from similar products.
