Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Grooming Matters More in the Summer
Q: How often should pet parents actually be brushing or grooming during summer?
It depends on coat length. Short or medium coats may need a few brushings per week, while long, thick coats can require daily brushing to remove dirt and loose hair before it irritates the skin, plus frequent checks for ticks or foxtails.
Therapy Dogs, Mental Health & Community Impact with Jody Williams
Q: What makes a dog well suited for therapy work and what does the certification and training process look like for dogs and handlers?
The training focuses on handlers' ability to read dogs and manage real-world environments; there is a six-week course followed by evaluation, with programs tailored to different interaction preferences and settings.
Therapy Dogs, Mental Health & Community Impact with Jody Williams
Q: What drew you to Therapy Dogs of America and how has your understanding of the work evolved in leadership?
Jody Williams discusses a personal pathway into nonprofit dog therapy, the growth of programs beyond traditional visits, and the importance of infrastructure, policy, and volunteer coordination to scale impact.
Breaking It Down with Dr. Amber: Vital Probiotic for Dogs
Q: What is a probiotic and how does it work in dogs?
A probiotic is a preparation of healthy bacteria that, when given regularly, helps establish a strong gut microbiome by competing with bad bacteria, aiding digestion, and supporting immune signaling in the gut.
Rooted in Rescue: The Power of Community and Dog Rescue
Q: Where can listeners learn about Rescue Rhythms and how to participate?
Listeners can visit the Farmers & The Flea website or the direct ticket link, plus check the Instagram page for the event tab and updated information on tickets and activities.
