Stacy Mantle, author and pet product reviewer joins us from Arizona with the latest update on pets weekly magazine and the outstanding pet products she’s discovered lately. First off is the claw board designed to protect doors and windows and their screens from paws and claws. Next is liver flavored ‘Probonix’ ...yum! Deborah Wolfe talks about yogurt and how you can use the best pet food labels as a guide to what ‘people’ food you can give your pet.
Ideal ingredients like Yogurt, blueberries, meats, grains, vegetables are listed on the best foods so next time you are throwing out plain yogurt that hasn’t expired or an old yam or bruised berries think about Fido instead! Stacy talks about a bodysuit alternative to the cone type collar for post-surgery and dogs who pick, scratch or bite themselves and they discuss how it can be best used. Its ‘like a leotard for your dog’ Stacy says, making Deb picture a crazy dog sausage image with a body incased and a Pitbull head and tail poking out. Stacy mentions a new device that tests pavement temperature so dogs paws won’t get burned in hot places and that leads to a discussion of weather issues and traveling with pets.

Should you get a boy dog if you already have a girl dog or does gender matter at all? The answer from both Deborah Wolfe and Dr. Stanley Coren is ‘ that depends’. Listen for the details on how to add to your pet pack and whether you should consider a female or male, a pup or older dog or an ex breeding dog. The two experts discuss the pros and cons of neutering and some differences in dogs by their gender.
Deborah asks Dr. Coren if it makes sense that Karla Hamolka be allowed to work with sick animals and drugs in a Vet Clinic when she is the ex-wife and co accused of Paul Bernardo who was recently denied parole for offences they committed together against young girls. Dr. Coren explains the connection between cruelty to animals and violence to humans. Dogs help dogs as we saw on tv with a dog pulling a fallen injured dog out of traffic on a busy highway and as Deborah has seen many times at Camp Good Dog and Dr. Coren has seen with his own dogs as well. Hear the funny and heartwarming stories of mischief and assistance that take place when dogs help dogs.
