Certified Animal Behavior Consultant and regular contributor to the My Buddy Butch Show, Darlene Arden joins Jeff to talk about the “Loyalty Factor” in pets. Stemming from the movie “HACHI” that Jeff started to discuss last week, Darlene lends some insight to the human animals bond…Think cats are loners? Well think again!. News And Announcements. IAMS home for the holidays is starting again see how you can help on Facebook.

Hour 2 – Have you ever heard of the “American Heartworm Society?” Well they have been around since the 70’s and suprisingly many people…even in the pet industry, have not heard of them. Jeff was honored to speak with Dr. Shelly Rubin who was a President of the society that is helping the veterinary industry and educating pet owners on this highly preventable disease but difficult to treat once your pet contracts it. Do you know why it is important to give your pet the preventative year around? Well, Dr. Shelly Rubin tells us why and also clues us in on the other things that the preventative helps…well…prevent! Oh Yeah, by the way Dr. Shelly was also Oprah’s Vet before she moved to California to start her network OWN! Also Jeff discusses some halloween reminders about what your pets should NOT be eating.

 Million Fundraising Campaign

Tough Economic Times Mean More Animals in Shelters, with Less Help

BELLEVUE, Wash. (November 12, 2008) /PRNewswire/ — Tough economic times are hitting even the smallest creatures, as animal shelters struggle with rising populations and shrinking contributions. Looking for a creative way to help pets in need, Dogpile.com has launched the Search & Rescue program to raise money for the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®).

Dogpile.com, a search engine that pools results from all major search engines, is donating a portion of revenues from searches conducted on the Dogpile Web site to the ASPCA®. And, the giving doesn’t stop there: consumers can continue to give without spending a penny of their own money by using a downloadable Search & Rescue toolbar. Dogpile.com’s Search and Rescue program has a goal of raising $1 million through the end of 2009 by inviting consumers to do what they already do – search the Web.

A study of current giving trends conducted by Dogpile.com found that Americans who typically give to charities are cutting back on their donations by nearly half from last year, and they expect that animal charities will suffer among the most compared to other organizations and civic causes. The situation is compounded by the fact that nearly one in five Americans has had to give up a pet – or know someone who has – due to financial hardship…
