  • #1 pet podcast for a reason

    What an enjoyable and soothing listen. Fun, informative and a great advocacy tool to help encourage people to become responsible pet owners. Dr Rob is a wealth of knowledge, tips & articulate while his offsider Stephen Peters is masterful in listening, asking the right questions and keeping the mood rightfully light. I could listen to these two gents for days. Keep up the good work lads!

Stop panicking, try to induce vomiting with a product like Ipikak if it's been recently ingested, give charcoal to absorb toxins, and rush the dog to a vet to rule out kidney issues or seizures.
