dog advice

This week I return to advise about how to keep your dog cool in Summer, as requested from my listeners. I talk about heartache and getting over a traumatic breakup. I also give you the recipe for some amazing Ginger Shots and give you a brand new conundrum to guess. 

In today's episode of The Pooch Parenting Podcast, I talk about the risks of getting free advice when it comes to your family dog. Despite the best intentions, free advice can be misleading or even dangerous. In Facebook advice groups, for example, the blind is often leading the blind. Even though people can get some good advice from generous professionals who volunteer in these groups, those can often be outnumbered by people simply sharing their own experiences - most of which are not backed by research or science. 

If you want the BEST advice, along with coaching and accountability, you would be well served by hiring a qualified professional, such as myself, to guide you. You usually get what you pay for.

This episode includes:

• Why people should be proactive with putting together a trusted team before getting a dog - the same way that people are proactive when they are pregnant or adopting a child
• Examples of how free advice isn't necessarily helpful and how it can be harmful
• Crowd sourcing advice can lead to dangerous behavior and ignoring dog body language

Thank you for listening!

Adam is the Chief Veterinary Officer at MJH Life Sciences and oversees the veterinary division that includes Fetch, dvm360,  Firstline and VettED.   He advocates for pet parents and animals and is passionate about spreading awareness on many topics so we decided to loosely focus on shelter vet care, but as what often happens , we talked about a number of interesting topics , including foster care and rescue organizations around the world, legislation protecting animal welfare and why having 4 little dogs is a great way to keep warm in the winter!   I follow our chat with a talk on how expertise and confidence allow for more creative , fun,  diversified  and  ultimately more effective ways of education and advising.
