Are you considering introducing a pet to your family ? Are you expecting a bundle-of-joy, and contemplating how to introduce the newest family member to your cat or dog? Does your child know how to approach an unfamiliar pet outside of the home?
If any of these questions apply to or intrigue you, we encourage you to delve into this weeks episode, discussing the ins and outs of pets in a child's life.
We open by discussing our personal history with pets and animals, and hope that you the readers can relate and share your own experiences. From there, we dive into the intricate and lengthy benefits behind pet ownership- whether its a furry, scaley, or feathered friend!
Due to the in depth nature of this weeks topic, we have broken the subject into two episodes! Stay tuned for next weeks follow up conversation
