Don’t Get A Dog
Wednesday Jul 10, 2024
Wednesday Jul 10, 2024
This week, Jess and Scott discuss the reality that a dog isn’t necessarily a good fit for every household. If you are a young family with kids and do not have a lot of extra time, a dog may simply add to the chaos. And if you have never owned a dog previously, it is a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Why is a dog not always the best first choice in a pet for a family?
How do dogs affect life’s logistics?
Who are the best resources to help for a smooth transition?

Think Twice Before You Give Your Dog That Pill
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
This week, Jess and Scott discuss questioning your veterinarian or behaviorist before you begin administering a prescribed drug to your dog, especially as it relates to behavior. Big Pharma has a clear agenda that has recently been spilling over from the human world into the dog world. Of course while many drugs can be lifesavers and greatly enhance one’s quality of life, maybe we shouldn’t we be so quick to give our dogs psychotropic medications.
Who should you consult when considering medicating your dog for behavior issues?
How do you determine if your dog is a good candidate for psychiatric medication?
What are some possible side effects of these common psychiatric medications for dogs?
