Dogs are commonly called ‘man’s best friend’, but according to Humane Society of the United States surveys, it’s time canines start believing the saying-- cats rule and dogs drool. It is estimated that there are 93.6 million cats in the United States, while dogs are barking up the tree with a mere 77.5 million in their pack. Thanks to You Tube, cats are garnering the respect they deserve. Cats can scuba dive, play patty cake, tickle the ivories of a piano and chase bears away from their backyards. But they are still misunderstood.
If you have been thinking of adopting your first cat or adding another to your clowder, my guest, veterinarian Jane Brunt, executive director of the CATalyst Council and true ailurophile, will give us some pointers and tell us more about ‘National Adopt a Cat Month’ plus she will explain why cats are like potato chips, who can have just one?

One of the most common reasons why dogs are relinquished to an animal shelter is unacceptable behavior and those can be the lucky ones. Too many dogs are banished from the home to the back yard, never to enjoy the company of the people who had hoped that they had found that perfect addition to the family. Others are dumped along a roadway to fend for themselves. And then there are those who are abused and die a horrid death.
What can we do as dog caregivers to insure that our pets are well mannered? How do we know if a behavioral issue has a psychological or medical basis? Do dogs need a psychiatrist or do we need one to even consider such a question? Is there doggie Prozac? My guest today is Dr. Stefanie Schwartz. Dr. Schwartz is a board certified veterinary behaviorist will answer some of the most common questions pertaining to achieving outstanding canine comportment.

If you’re a cat owner like me, you realized a long time ago, we don’t own them, they own us. Cats have never forgotten that they were once worshiped as gods in ancient Egypt.

With the help of a board certified veterinary behaviorist like Dr. Stefanie Schwartz we can hopefully decipher their actions and experience more pleasure from sharing our lives and homes with them.

I remember being a little girl and having recurrent ear infections. They were so painful. I cringe when a pet is presented to me for an ear problem that has been ongoing for several weeks. This pet must have been suffering. Sadly, the owner often can’t decipher the signs of discomfort and what is causing them. Ear issues can be frustrating to get under control and sometimes take a specialist like my guest today, Dr. Craig Griffin, a board certified veterinary dermatologist to clear up the confusion surrounding cause, control and prevention.

The presenting complaint is so often the same. "My cat is peeing all over the house... in the sink, on my clothes, even on me while I’m in bed" or "My cat must be constipated. It keeps going to the litter box, over and over again and nothing is coming out." Sound familiar? The cat may be suffering a potentially life threatening condition known as Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease.

Your pet is ill. You can’t say exactly what is wrong, but you know there is a problem. Your veterinarian can be equally stumped. All the blood and urine tests are normal. Radiographs may show some areas of concern but they are not definitive. Sometimes the only way the diagnosis is made is after the pet dies and a post mortem is performed. The answer... cancer. Why couldn’t it have been diagnosed earlier? With the discovery of biomarkers for some cancers, now a simple blood test may be able to save your pet’s life. My guest is the President and Founder of Veterinary Diagnostics Institute, Randy Ringold.

We have all heard the adage that the eyes are the window to the soul. Another saying that pets owners should take to heart is ‘a pet’s oral health is the gateway to its body wide well being’.

And who wants to be kissed by a cat with tuna breath or a hound with halitosis?
Orange County, CA, veterinarian, Eric Van Nice, a Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College, will discuss general pet dental care and the newest techniques available to take a bite out of dental disease.
