Podcast – DCM, the FDA, and Dog Food-the Science and the Hype with Canine Nutritionist Linda Case

< short link to this page – http://bit.ly/Blog-DCM-FDA-8AUG19 >

< Click to Listen to Podcast >

If you are concerned about heart disease in your pets and grain-free pet foods using non-standard proteins, you will not want to miss this show.

In this episode of The Woof Meow Show from August 10th, 2019 Kate and Don speak with canine nutritionist Linda Case, author of Dog Food Logic. Our topic is the June 29th, 2019 press release from the FDA addressing their current investigation into a reported increase in cases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs and an alleged connection to what a few veterinarians are calling ‘BEG’ (Boutique, Exotic ingredient, Grain-free) pet foods.  We will discuss:

  • Is there a proven correlation between DCM and ‘BEG’ foods?
  • Has the investigation by the FDA been designed to meet the criteria for peer-reviewed scientific research?
  • Has the FDA withheld information on some of the foods fed to dogs reported with DCM?
  • Big pet food and how a few companies control what we feed our pets.

Podcast – Going to the Dog Park – Is It A Good Idea for You and Your Dog?

< Click to Listen to Podcast >

In this episode of The Woof Meow Show from April 6th, 2019, Don and Kate discuss how dog parks can be a great outlet for many dogs, but how they can also create behavioral problems for some dogs. They are not always a good choice for dogs, especially dogs that are in any way reactive towards people or other dogs. Kate and Don also discuss the characteristics that make a dog likely to enjoy the dog park experience as well as temperament traits that indicate a dog should avoid the dog park. The show is a companion to Don’s article in the April edition of the Downeast Dog News and on his blog, Words-Woofs-Meows.com [ FMIhttp://bit.ly/GoingToTheDogPark ]. The show is also a preview to two presentations Don will be giving on dog parks in May of 2019, that will provide attendees with information that will help them make their trip to the dog park fun for both them and their dog. You can find details on these presentations at http://bit.ly/Blog-UpcomingEvents

Podcast – Spaying and Neutering Your Pet with Dr. Mark Hanks from Kindred Spirits Veterinary Clinic

< Click to Listen to Podcast >

< A short link to this article http://bit.ly/WfMw-Spay-Neuther2019 >

Spay and Neuter Awareness Month starts on February 1st. Because this is such an important topic, we do a show on it every year. Ten years ago, the decision of whether to spay and neuter and when to do so was much more straightforward. As new information has become available spaying and neutering has gotten a bit more confusing, especially the timing of spaying and neutering. Don has been known to say that if you ask five pet care professionals about spaying and neutering, you may get seven different opinions. Spaying and neutering have implications for animal welfare as well as physical and behavioral health, and it is a topic that every pet owner needs to discuss with their veterinarian. Today, Don will be talking to Dr. Mark Hanks from the Kindred Spirits Veterinary Clinic to help end some of the confusion of this critical topic. If you have a pet that is not spayed or neutered, you will not want to miss this show.

You can hear The Woof Meow Show on Z62 Retro Radio, AM620, and WKIT HD3 at 9 AM on Saturday.
