Thousands of pets die needlessly each year because of unrecognized and untreated behavior problems. A pet owner may think that their pet is just being naughty, vindictive or stubborn when in reality there is a medical condition- yes, a behavioral issue is medical, that could be addressed, modified and treated.
Is your pet driving you crazy? How do you know if there is something that can be done to correct the seemingly untenable dirty deeds? My guest, Dr. Debra Horwitz is just what the doctor ordered. She is an internationally recognized authority on behavioral issues in pets. She is a board certified diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorist. She received her doctorate of veterinary medicine from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

The discovery of the fountain of youth and cure for diseases that weaken and kill have flummoxed mankind for centuries. However, the answers may have closer than we ever imagined. The elixir to health may literally lay within us…within unique multipotential elements of our bodies…our stem cells.
When we hear the word stem cell, we often think of the controversy swirling around the cells of embryonic origin. But we all have stem cells within our bodies and within our pet’s bodies. They can be harnessed to perform a plethora of amazing feats. Think you will need to go to a specialist far from home for this type of care? You may not need to go any further than your primary care veterinarian’s office.
My guest is veterinarian Bob Harman. He is the founder and CEO of the first US based veterinary stem cell company, Vet-Stem. And I am honored to say that we are classmates of UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

Since you are listening to this podcast, you are likely a pet lover. But why did you get a pet in the first place? My guess is because you sought the type of companionship and special form of love and attention that only a pet can give. You probably wanted to laugh at the antics that a crazy furry, feathered, scaled or finned animal can produce..
So if pets can be so marvelous, why are so many of them abandoned in vacant lots or relinquished to shelters? The answer is often their inability to meet the owner’s expectations-. behaviors such as excessive barking, inappropriate elimination, hyperactivity or aggression. But is it their fault or ours of not understanding their psyche? Are these pets bad or just misunderstood and in need of some behavioral counseling? No, they don’t need to lie on a couch but sitting next to you while we chat today with Dr. Gary Landsberg, a board certified veterinary behaviorist may be the first step to a happier home for the entire family.

I’ll always remember meeting Howard. He was a 3 year old, intact, male German Short Hair Pointer that purred, or at least that is what his owner said he was doing. Thankfully I knew that dogs don’t purr. What I was hearing was a deep throated ‘I am seriously contemplating biting you’ growl.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs on a yearly basis. 1 in 5 requires medical attention. But why do dogs bite? Are there certain breeds that are more prone than others to nip? What can a pet owner do to make their canine companions less likely to strike out? Dr. Stefanie Schwartz is a board certified veterinary behaviorist. She is going to help put some teeth into your efforts to make sure your dog doesn’t purr.

Eat first, think later is the mantra that many dogs live and sometimes die by. Cats tend to be more cautious- nibbling on novel food offerings, being wary while venturing through their environment. Cats are often found snoozing while canine housemates are being whisked off to the animal emergency clinic because of a one of those ‘doggy duhhh’ moments. But cats can also find themselves in need of urgent medical assistance.
April is National Pet First Aid Awareness Month. My guest is Dr. Diane Eigner. She is the immediate past president of the ‘CATalyst Council’. Together, we are going to discuss some of the common medical predicaments our feline family members find themselves in and what we can do to help them.

Humor me - no I haven’t given up my day job and turned to stand up comedy. In medieval physiology, the body was believed to possess four elemental fluids or humors, blood, phlegm, black and yellow bile. Modern science has found a remarkable way of using one of the body’s humors, blood, to assist in healing itself.
If you own a dog, it may be the one in five adult canines that suffers from the pain of osteoarthritis.
