Carol Carprita of Woodside Pet Cemetary joins Jeff to discuss this issue and talk about how a Pet Cemetery operates (See Video Below).

She has a state licensed herd in Texas and her pot bellies are highly sought after by those in Hollywood like George Clooney (we all know he had Max), J-Lo, and even Jay Leno has contacted her. Her pigs have been in movies and on TV many times! A very sweet lady doing what she loves!
Hour 1 – Author Olga Horvat announced the release of her first book “Paranormal Pooch” about a toy poodle that affected a family but had some very peculiar things happen. Do you believe in the paranormal, Spirits, or your pet being possessed? Very interesting book and discussion.

Hour 2- Dr. Dawn Marcus MD, Professor, Neurologist and author of “The Power of Wagging Tails” joins Jeff to discuss the study that she conducted at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center regarding the effect of therapy dogs on pain management patients in the waiting room. We have all had to sit in a Doctor’s waiting room either sick or in pain. These folks, some having no hope of a cure, are there to try and live with their pain. Listen in to the surprising results of this study that Dr. Dawn wanted to announce on our show before it was released to the national medical journals. Dr. Patrick Mahaney our Vet to the stars stops by to talk about the tragic death of Amy Winehouse and the situation her pets are in now that she is gone.

Jeff, being a history hobbiest gives a few facts that we bet you did not know about the most popular pet in America. Dr. Patrick Mahaney our vet to the stars in Hollywood stops in to get caught up and talk alittle about the heat wave and some precautions…and did you see the article in the PARADE magazine about Cats vs Dogs and which pet has the “upper paw?” Well Jeff disects the article and gives his commentary. News and announcements.
MBB Contributor Dr. Fran Walfish clinical Psychologist and author of the “Self Aware Parent” joins Jeff to talk about people who have replaced Human relationships with pets. Those who are lonely for many reasons may obtain pets to fill the void. Great discussion on this topic. Major airline carriers have raised prices on pet flight - one has actually raised its rate to $250 ONE WAY! It’s clear they don’t want people taking pets on planes. Fatality rate among pets in flight has risen drastically over the last two years.
