Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask The Dog!
Q: What are some of the signals you wish that every child knew how to recognize so that we can prevent those dog bites?
Dale describes a raised paw, yawning, lip licking, a lowered tail, and a wagging tail as signals that can indicate stress or excitement rather than a desire to interact. He recommends pausing and letting the dog signal whether it wants contact to continue.
Ask The Dog!
Q: What inspired you to write Ask the Dog? And why did you feel like this was a story that needed to be told specifically to children?
Dale was inspired by seeing a dog avoid eye contact, stiffen, and pull away while its owner invited a stranger to pet it. He chose a children's book because children account for a large share of dog bites, often involving dogs they live with, and adults need to teach them to notice canine communication.
HELTER SHELTER - The Candy Man
Q: What information do shelters need to reach out to you?
Shelters should visit Tom Candy's Simplifying Shelter Behavior site and connect through his social channels for practical guidance, including mentorship options, staff training approaches, and shelter-specific behavioral strategies.
The Fountain of Youth
Q: How do rapamycin and acarbose fit into a longevity strategy for pets?
Rapamycin has demonstrated longevity benefits and specific feline cardiac benefits, while acarbose shows potential additive effects when combined with rapamycin; however, long-term, direct veterinary studies are limited, so current guidance is to view these as promising, but still evolving therapies.
The Fountain of Youth
Q: What are some concerns that pet parents face with aging pets?
Dr. Toman explains that aging pets raise questions about longevity, quality of life, and proactive health measures, including nutrition, diagnostics, and preventive therapies rather than reactive treatment alone.
