  • #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!

Dr. Rob mentions treating an old meerkat with antibiotics and the importance of avoiding surgery due to the animal's age.
Are two dogs better than one?
Q: How should I introduce a new dog to my existing pet?
Introduce them in a neutral location, like a park, then let them bond in your backyard after getting to know each other.

Q: What is your opinion on adopting two puppies from the same litter?

Hey you with the flat nose...
Q: What can I do if my dog still looks like it has worms after being treated?
