  • A proper podcast for pet owners

    Great to see this come out - I yield to almost no one when it comes to consuming amusing online dog related content, but it’s nice to see something that looks in detail at our pets and can help how we think about their health and behaviour. Also reassuring that the people speaking were knowledgeable and qualified. Hoping the future episodes will be as good!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kibble vs Fresh: The Ultimate Guide to Dog Nutrition | Sally Barker
Q: What is the one thing you want people to take away from this conversation about canine nutrition?
Barker says not to feel guilty about avoiding a feeding method promoted on social media or in marketing. Choose food that suits the dog and can be afforded and maintained by the household.
Kibble vs Fresh: The Ultimate Guide to Dog Nutrition | Sally Barker
Q: Is there a scientifically proven best way to feed a dog?
Barker says no single feeding method is scientifically proven to be best. The priority is a complete and balanced food that suits the individual dog, life stage, health conditions, and feeding amount.
Is it cruel to have a pedigree pet? | Sean McCormack
Q: What questions would you say consumers should ask their pedigree breeder to ensure the breeder is responsible?
Ask why they breed that particular animal and what problems they are trying to address. Responsible breeders should discuss known health issues, evidence of progress, testing, buyer screening and support after purchase.
Is it cruel to have a pedigree pet? | Sean McCormack
Q: What is the connection between pedigree breeds and health?
Pedigree breeding can support useful traits and responsible health improvements, but selection for extreme appearance or narrow gene pools can also cause suffering and increase inherited disease.
Does my dog love me? Communication between pets and owners | Jade Nicholas
Q: What is the one thing you want people to take away from this conversation about communication between us and our dogs?
Small signs of discomfort give owners a chance to respond. Growling is a warning, not bad behaviour to punish, and owners should seek help when their dog signals discomfort.
