Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The Lanternfly Hunters
Q: What are the differences between training for lanternflies versus other scent work like drugs or missing people?
The fundamental scent-work principles are the same: teach the game, use a reinforcer, and gradually add complexity; lanternflies were trained using familiar odor-scent building blocks (like birch or clove) and the odor was integrated into a box-search task to ensure reliable detection without overfitting to a distractor.
The Lanternfly Hunters
Q: So how long did it take to train the dogs to sniff it out?
They had 14 weeks to train the dogs to pass the Odor Recognition Test, and a majority of the dogs completed the required trials, showing that pet dogs can learn to detect lanternflies with proper training and motivation.
