Animal Poison Control Center

This week – Hour 1 – The ASPCA has a great web site not only for their Animal Poison Control Center that can help pet owners in an emergency 24/7, 365 days each year but also for holiday do’s and dont’s with your pet. Jeff goes down the checklist that all pet owners should be aware of and reminds everyone of the potential hazards. Dr. Frank McMillin is the Director of Wellness for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in KANAB, Utah. Best Friends was the rescue featured in National Geographic’s “Dog Town” Show. Dr. Frank joins Jeff for the rescue of the week segment to talk about the mental damage that the puppy mills put the dogs through that produce the puppy’s we see in chain pet stores. With the amount of dogs, cats and other animals in many over crowded shelters around the country, Jeff reminds us that these places, and breed rescues are the places to get that new furry family member.

Hour 2 – Best Selling author are life coach Jackie Lapin joins Jeff to talk about her new book ”Practical Conscious Creation” which debuted as a #1 hot seller on Amazon.com. Ever want to improve your life..well who doesn’t. Improving your relationships, improving your daily life, improving your finances and feeling happier are all well within your reach and Jackie tells Jeff how! There are an increasing number of people that are including their pets in their last will. There are also those who worry about their pets when they are away from them for any reason. Rachel Hirschfeld an attorney and partner of LegalZoom.com joins Jeff to talk about how to do this properly and what the difference is between a pet trust and a “pet protection agreement” that she developed.

Hour 1

"No discussion on horses would be complete without checking in with Joe," Jeff Marginean-host of the My Buddy Butch Show.

This week - Writer, Director, and Producer Joe Camp of the “BENJI” series of films joins Jeff to talk about his best selling book “Soul of A Horse,” and “Soul of A Horse Blogged.” Any time horse care and/or racing is brought up, the conversation just wouldn’t be complete without including Joe. He has a wealth of knowledge and 6 beautiful horses (and Benji!) to prove it! Also, Dr. Tina Wismer from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center joins Jeff for the Vet Topic - Toxic plants and chemicals in the yard! Being a DIY person, Jeff tries to be mindful when working or planting anything outside and Dr. Tina gives him some great tips. News and Announcements.

Hour 2

dogtime joins forces with the ASPCA

Leslie Smith Editor-in-Chief of the Dogtime blog network joins Jeff to talk about her series on “No-Kill” shelters and her experience that they need to be doing more. Not a popular outlook as she acknowledges especially when most of them are doing everything thing they can at breakneck speed to save animals on the euthanasia list. Also Joan Powers of the Colorado Pug Rescue checks in to talk about “Preloved-Auction” and how this format is helping rescues to save Pugs as far away as England. Dr. Patrick Mahaney our Vet to the Stars drops in to continue his series on his trip to Peru. Ever heard of a “BOT FLY?” well he will tell all about it and if we have to worry here in the USA. Texas Senate finally passes the “Animal Abuse Registry” where they keep track of animal abusers but there is a hitch…naturally. also in our news section a stray Pit Bull rescues a woman and her child from a would-be attacker in Florida…you won’t believe this!

The Planet Dog Foundation Helping provide Therapy and Assistance Dogs!

 

Planet Dog has been with us here at the My Buddy Butch Talk Show since the beginning! We have reviewed some of the new toys they have on the market on a few of the first shows we did. I love talking to these people to find out what they are up to because they never dissapoint. Kristen Smith, director of Planet Dog Foundation talks about the aid that the foundation gives to organizations around the country to help organizations raise, train, and provide Therapy and Assistance dogs to people in need. She talks about many different types of assistance dogs and even mentions the work that small breed dogs can do to help their people in need. They also help organizations that use Rescued dogs for therapy and assistance programs. Don’t forget to check out their store Web Site also for great products. Don’t forget that Planet Dog donates a portion of each sale to the foundation!

RESCUE SHELTER OF THE WEEK

Unique owners needed for unique dogs!

We had a great time with Deb Ray of the Australian Cattle Dog Rescue! She joined us to talk about the specific needs of this working breed and exactly where they came from! Stressing the importance of RESEARCHING the breed BEFORE adopting there are some very specific things you should know about why this breed was developed and what this means to you and your family. They make great pets and are an active breed so listen in to the interview and check out the website!

VETERINARIAN TOPIC OF THE WEEK

HALO Pet products are "all natural" and "provide the best in Holistic Pet Care!"

Dr. Donna Spector checks in with part three of the series on Summer Troubles – “Toxic Landscaping.” Did you know that some types of mulch are made from coco shells. and what is coco used for…MAKING CHOCOLATE! All of our dogs love a big CHOCOLATE milk shake or candy bar once a day RIGHT? WRONG!!!! The same chemicals that could potentially kill your dog are also in coco shell mulch that may be in your yard! Dr. Donna advises that you check the ingredients and types of plants you use in your yard. She also told us about a great section of the ASPCA Web Site where you can type the name of a plant in a search engine and find out if it is harmful to your pet. Also did you know that fluoride is harmful for your pet? Dr. Donna is going to be talking about the recent studies on fluoride and how they affect your pet’s health in an upcoming show! You really should not miss this one!
