    PetLifeRadio.com - Pet Peeves Episode 81 Seeing Eye to Eye: Visionary Care for Service Dogs
    Service dogs offer aid and comfort to thousands of people around the world. And a service dog's duties encompass all sorts of work. They guide vision impaired partners or sniff out bombs, find lost people or rescuing individuals from disaster--and of course offer emotional support and nonjudgmental love along the way. Caring for their health can be pricey, though, so the 5th Annual ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exam Event offers free exams in May 2012. Learn more from Dr. Bill Miller, a veterinary ophthalmologist with the program, in this eye-opening Pet Peeves show!

And the treatment used to cure dogs has become temporarily unavailable! The president of the American Heartworm Society, Dr. Wallace Graham, addresses these questions and more in this edition of Pet Peeves.

    PetLifeRadio.com - Pet Peeves Episode 73 Feral Cats -- The TNR Solution
    Alley Cat Rescue (ACR) sponsors the 2nd Annual "Free Feral Cat Spay Day" on April 27, 2011. But just what is a "feral cat" and why should you care? Feral cats are born and raised without human contact, and live life on the wild side. You might call them yowling nuisances when they potty in your garden or drive indoor cats crazy-- but they’re simply trying to survive. Louise Holton, founder and president of ACR, says TNR (trap-neuter-return) can solve a host of feral cat problems in a humane way. And after all, if you hadn’t adopted your purring lap-kitty, he might have ended up as a feral! Learn about the TNR solution, and how you can get your community and veterinarian involved.

    Today the pet products industry appears to be one of those "bullet proof" endeavors even in the wake of economic downturn. That’s wonderful for the companies, of course.

But smaller organizations struggle to stretch every dollar, and aren’t always on the funding radar. Kristen Smith, Brand Ambassador for Planet Dog and the Executive Director of Planet Dog Foundation describes some of the terrific pet-dreams their organization has helped come true! By the way, my Magical-Dawg is a big fan of Planet Dog toys-- and each time you purchase a toy, you make a donation to a worthy doggy cause! Learn how Planet Dog Foundation is "playing" it forward.
