WAG Station

Welcome to the Wag Station podcast, by the people, for the pets! I am your host Tallia Luvera. The journey to this podcast starts with our local pet store and grooming salon, located in Newport Rhode Island, owned by my mother Alda and I. With a strong passion for pet nutrition and holistic, natural alternatives, I am beyond excited to bring this to life. Every week I will dive into topics focusing on pet health, debunking conventional myths, and talking to fellow pet professionals and experts.
