078 How to Know if You’re Overfeeding Your Dog & A Truth About Cats We Overlook.

October 20, 2020

There is a simple way to tell if you are feeding your dog too much, that is not about how much the dog weighs. Find out what it is.


Then, being aware of your cat’s capabilities in this one particular area can make caring and living with your feline, so much easier and better provide for its needs. Pam Johnson – Bennet, a certified cat behavior consultant and author of Cat Wise, Americas Favorite Cat Expert Answers Your Cat Behavior Questions, tells you this truth about cats that we tend to overlook.


Also, I tell you the story about the first time I called the ASPCA poison control hotline about my dog, Rosy because I thought she had eaten a scent diffuser stick from the bathroom.


Hear the story of another time I had to call the hotline when I stupidly and mistakenly fed Rosy a human medicine that’s toxic for dogs in episode 1 – segment 1.


Finally, does your dog keep repeating certain behaviors even though you try to stop them? They may be getting encouraged to keep doing them, in ways that you are unaware.
