There’s a lot of misinformation about the dangers of parasite preventatives circulating on the internet, but parasite infestation is the far greater risk. Nicole & Jez discuss risk management with regards to parasite prevention, and why it’s almost always the lower risk option.
Dogs love human food. Humans love human food. Humans just have the ability to manipulate foods for their palatability, but tastiness doesn’t always mean it's healthy! (sadly it's kind of the opposite). Nicole and Jez discuss dogs eating too much human food.
Birds love seed like humans love Snickers, and the analogy doesn’t stop there. Foods high in fat and sugars trigger similar neural pathways to addictive drugs, but like drugs of addiction they are not good for you (or birds).
Nicole and Jez discuss seed addiction in parrots and how to help them eat healthier.
Nicole and Jez discuss the intricacies of the axolotl.

There's lots that can be done for anxious cats! While many tools can be bought online, it's also important to get a vet checkup to make sure that medical problems like pain or infection aren't causing the problem.
Nicole and Jez discuss methods to help your kitty feel c...
