Dr. Karen Johnson of BanfieldPet hospitals joins us to talk about the spread of Heartworm and how easy it is to prevent in BOTH dogs AND cats.  Yes it has been found that your cat is also at risk from this parasite if not treated with preventative! Banfield is running a program where you can get a FREE Heartworm check for your pet if you visit their web site, print out a coupon and take to your nearest Banfield Pet Hospital in Petsmart. Take the HEARTWORM CHALLENGE QUIZ and get your coupon. This is an easily prevented problem but hard to get rid of once your pet has it.

THE “SPENSERNATION”

These books are educational and also help feed hungry children!

You know, I interview many authors and I always enjoy discussing the insight that brought them to write their book. Author Melanie Brooks has hit a grand slam with the “SpenserNation” books and it’s no wonder she is highly sought after by the media and has won various awards for this series. ”Mom” and Spenser are dedicated to helping hungry children. All author proceeds from the individual Spenser books are returned to respective programs in the local community that feed hungry children. Please visit their sister site to learn more about how you can help!
