You may need a dog that can fetch a set of dropped keys, turn on a light switch, help you as you struggle with PTSD or nightmares and bring you back to here and now, one that serves as a non-judgmental tutor to a child tackling scholastic challenges or just a fabulous member of your family. Under the tutelage of my guest, dog trainer and behaviorist, Tom Tackett, dogs can do all this and so much more.

I may be showing my age-I remember Lloyd Bridges (yes, that is Beau and Jeff Bridges’ dad) and his American television undersea adventure series of the 1960s- Sea Hunt (OK- it was the reruns). It seemed like he was forever saving scuba divers who were suffering with the bends with the use of a decompression chamber. And who hasn’t seen the movie "Mary Poppins" and didn’t sing along with the song ‘a Spoon Full of Sugar’? Well veterinary medicine is using hyperbaric oxygen, sugar and leeches... yes, those blood sucking creatures from medieval times to treat and cure myriad animal maladies (and this isn’t by a bunch of fringe, quake doctors).
My guest is Dr. Nicole Buote. She a board certified veterinary surgeon who practices in Los Angeles and has special interests in advanced wound repair, cancer reconstructive surgery, minimally invasive procedures including laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, arthroscopy and interventional radiology techniques.

People and pets physical as well as mental. Current research is investigatingare living longer than ever. With aging come many challenges- the adage that ‘you can’t teach an old dog, or for that matter, an old person new tricks’. Is it that they can’t learn or is it that they can’t remember? Geriatric dogs with their naturally occurring behavioral and physical changes offer behaviorists and research scientists a marvelous model for studying and treating devastating diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Today’s guest, Dr. Gary Landsberg, is a board certified veterinary behaviorist and Director of Veterinary Affairs and Product Development for CanCog Technologies.

Sometimes it happens accidentally, or someone thinks it would be fun to see the effects of a particular substance on a pet. At times pet owners with the best of intentions may give medications that have been effective for themselves or another pet often with disastrous consequences. Then there's the inquisitive pet that tastes, touches something that could be poisonous. How do you know when to call your veterinarian or pet poison control number? Did you even know there was a pet poison control organization?
Today's guest, Dr. Justine Lee knows the answers to these questions and more. She's a board certified emergency critical care veterinarian and a diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology.

My guest is Dr. David Bradley, a veterinarian and Fellow of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery. He will inform us of how lasers are being used to treat our pets with skin issues to arthritis.

It has happened to you and probably your pet. You go to the doctor because you are not feeling well. They look, they ask, they listen- then inevitably it is time to go to the lab for poking, sampling and that all so much fun- peeing in a cup. Why do they need all of those samples? Aren’t they just trying to run up the bill?
