Speaker 2 (00:16):
And welcome, my friend.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
We are live from Las Vegas this week Madala Bay
Convention Center.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It is Super Zoo. What does that you say, but
you weren't listening last year.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Oh my gosh, you gotta know what Super Zoo is.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
It is super It is probably the biggest trade show
of pet products in the world.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
You know, it's so huge.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
There's so many booths and so many products. I don't
even get to cover half that floor. You just can't
do it in three days.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Up from five hundred booths last year, now nine hundred
and eighty booths. And we're going around each and everyone.
We're looking at the new pet products, and we have
these new pet products for you. When you hear about
the new products, be the first caller and we will
give you one of these new products before they're in
the store.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
You lucky dog.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
How cool is that?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
And some of them can't even begin to explain what
some of the products are. We're going to head down
to the floor in just a couple of minutes. But
just because we're at super Zoom doesn't mean we're not
taking your calls.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
We absolutely are.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
For doctor Debbie, dog trainer Alan Cable, dog father Joey Volani,
and animal communicator Joe Turner. They're all here for you,
and of course Stacy Cohen working very hard in the
old news room.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
Well, apparently this lady who has a horse got a
little ticked off that McDonald's wouldn't let her go through
the drive through on her horse.

Speaker 7 (01:29):
So what did she do?

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Oh, you won't believe it. A happy meal might have
turned into a sad meal. Actually, if you were standing
next to them, I'll give you the details coming up
on Animal Radio News.

Speaker 7 (01:40):
Hm, what did they do?

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I wonder if you'd let out a big poop in
the drive through lane.

Speaker 8 (01:48):
You're close, you're getting warm, You're very warm, Okay, very warm.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Hey, Julie, how are you?

Speaker 9 (01:52):
I'm great?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
What's going on in your world? How can we help you?

Speaker 10 (01:56):
Well, my cat I had taken in and she into death.
Having she's just a tabby about eleven years old, and
she has a build up in her ears, I guess,
and so I'm not a.

Speaker 11 (02:07):
Real good nurse.

Speaker 10 (02:08):
But when I got to the doctor's office, they had
kind of swapped out a bunch of the black stuff,
and then they said they're going to do an irrigation.
So I read the bill the other day and it
said irrigation, but parentheses brief.

Speaker 12 (02:21):
So they brought her back.

Speaker 10 (02:22):
Neighbor Jimmy and I went home. When I called before
about the cat, she had acted weird. It took her
just about a week to kind of come around. I
want to know if for cuit a reference, doesn't Mary
have to do it again? It says the irrigation they
did or the appointment. Does it come down into your
mouth like things do with people, If things go on

(02:43):
your ear and come down, would it have made it
try to you know, would it have drown her balance
off or done something?

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Okay, So did this procedure?

Speaker 13 (02:52):
Was this done with her a week just in the
office setting, or was she put under anesthesia?

Speaker 10 (02:56):
Oh, they didn't have time for an anesthesia, so I
think that's why they brief you know.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Okay, okay brief.

Speaker 13 (03:03):
I didn't hear that part of that, so okay, so yes, Now, cats,
I will tell you are very sensitive with your ears,
and it sounds like if she had a lot of
gunk in there, she definitely had some work that needed
to be done.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
But in dogs and cats.

Speaker 13 (03:17):
There is a there are nerves that go through the
middle ear. So if we've got ear infections, if we've
got disruption in that lowered the deeper part of the ear,
we definitely can have more potential for an inner ear
disturbance or what we call vestibular symptoms, and that can
be wobbliness, kind of being uncoordinated. Some cats and dogs

(03:38):
might vomit or not even want.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
To eat food. They may tip their head to the side.

Speaker 13 (03:44):
So sometimes that is truly because we've got such bad
conditions going on in the deeper part of the ear
that it actually can weaken the ear drum or rupture
the ear drum.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
So some of that can happen on its own.

Speaker 13 (03:55):
Now, cats in particular are sensitive to just kind of
actually regular ear cleane, so even just doing a good
irrigation in their ears.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
They're really kind of funny creatures.

Speaker 13 (04:06):
They definitely can get vestibular problems after a routine ear cleaning,
even if there's not an ear infection present, So that
is something to be aware of now in your kitty situation,
I think it would be very imperative that we make
sure that your condition gets fully treated, and sometimes that
might mean scheduling an anesthetic flesh. So if it seems

(04:27):
bad enough and deep enough, rather than kind of doing
things on just the external ear, ask your veterinari and
if it's warranted to do more of a deeper flesh,
to try and get to the bottom of it as
soon as we can. But anytime with a cat, with
any type of ear cleaning, even at your local groomer's place,
it's a risk. So when you put something inside the ear,
it can disturb that equilibrium that they have. Just definitely

(04:50):
to be aware of that. And some cats, you know,
if you said a week that she was kind of
out of sorts, you know that's not too bad. And
I've had I had a cat that was several months
I was treating and she did have some chronic deep
ear infections.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
That was kind of part of the culprit with her situation.

Speaker 10 (05:06):
Well, I guess I appreciate that. Then, I think that's
something for me to watch and if she does get
built back up again or something. Then I could ask
for something more involved, but then she just actually weird
Michael Luk or so, will go. Now she's fine, you know,
she's good out, Okay, next time I go. According to
their reps, to have the under an at the statues correct.

Speaker 13 (05:27):
Exactly, and that's something they should be able to just
kind of evaluate by putting a scope in her ears
and looking to see. So if there's just outer stuff
on the outer part of the ear, not such a
big deal. And in many cats, I don't even do
a lot of rinsing in their ears. If we're just
cleaning wax, I'll.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Just clean with cute tips or cotton.

Speaker 13 (05:45):
Balls with a little bit of ear solution on the
outer part of the ear. But if there is stuff
in the deep part of the ear that they see
on the scope, then definitely that would be more the
approach we'd.

Speaker 14 (05:54):
Want to do.

Speaker 10 (05:55):
Okay, Well, I think it was just build up because
they said there was a lot of black. They showed
me all but to you know, so, I think they
just thought there was more than they thought. I guess
I need to find They just wouldn't help me over
the telephone. I just wanted to know if there was
a residue left over, like I'm asking you, and they
didn't even tell me that, so it kind of bothered
me a little bit. You know, That's okay. I appreciate

(06:16):
the information. I'll be aware of it for the next time,
and I'll just keep an eye on her them.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
All right, Thanks for you call Julie so much, Doctor
w and I are going to head on over to
the floor in just a couple of minutes and look
at some of the brand new items. What was she
trying to clean out of the cat's ears? I don't
understand what was in the cat's ears.

Speaker 13 (06:33):
Well, that's the question whether there's just kind of routine
wax or sebum versus an ear infection, and that's something
that you know, the veterinarian kind of has to evaluate
and get a feel for.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
If it's just routine.

Speaker 13 (06:44):
Wax, then I would say back off of those cleaning
and just do it a little superficial cleaning with cotton balls.
But if there's an infection, you know, we can take
a swab of that, we can look at it under
a microscope and really evaluate and see if we need
to treat for mites or.

Speaker 15 (06:56):
Bacteria or what have you?

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, Hey, Cindy, how you doing.

Speaker 16 (07:00):
I'm doing fine, are y'all?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I love a southern accident where you call him from Cindy.

Speaker 16 (07:04):
Well, I live in Mississippi, but I'm over in Georgia
right now.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Both southern kind of towns. What's going on with your animal?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Got a dog? You got a cat, you got an iguana?
What what do you got?

Speaker 16 (07:14):
Well, I've got two ducks, and my friend has two dogs.
And my son that lists next doors got two dogs.
And about six weeks ago, my my youngest son came
home with this little puppy that he found laying in
the middle of the road. He thought it had been
run over, and it got up and walked around, so

(07:35):
he brought it home. M we gave it, gave it
a bath, took it to the beds. It was infested
with sleeves and had the maine. Wow, it's only about
six seven weeks sold this time. Well, but you know,
gave us the de wormer and we de wormed it.

Speaker 10 (07:50):
Still.

Speaker 16 (07:50):
Billy was off flowing portal things and it was really
losargic and stuff. He's got a lot more energy now,
and we we did the first two dents with the
sulfur mase dip. Okay, you really nacy smelling. And he
also gave us a model of some other kind of
leave on did for something or other that you just
on them and then wipe it down or something other

(08:12):
later on. Okay, it's been about six seven weeks now
and we've been keeping him out on the porch, and
I just want to know as it's safe to let
the other animals around him now, because I guess we're
gonna end up keeping him because we just kind of
fallen in love with.

Speaker 17 (08:27):
A little thing.

Speaker 13 (08:28):
Okay, So the big question I have is which particular
type of might your veterinarian did diagnose your baby with.
Did they say if it was the Starkopti's might or
the demodectic might.

Speaker 8 (08:41):
He didn't say.

Speaker 16 (08:42):
He just told me to make sure we all washed
our hands because it would spread.

Speaker 13 (08:48):
Okay, So that's probably the sarcoptis might, which is some
folks call that the red mange, and that potentially is
a type of MTE that can be contagious to people.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
But I don't really like people that, you know, this
kind of might.

Speaker 13 (09:01):
They prefer critters, but it is very contagious to other critters.
So I will tell you that for sarcopdis usually of
the lime dip is one of the things that we
can use to treat that. There are some other things
we can use as well, some different types of either
ivermectin or solimectin that can be done on a monthly basis,

(09:22):
So sometimes we'll add that in if we've got a
particularly bad time with it. If we're treating everything appropriately,
most pets will get over this within just a matter
of a few months, and it's just a matter of
kind of what else is going on. A lot of
dogs with mites will often have secondary infections on their skin,
so they'll get a bacterial infection. So we need to

(09:43):
make sure that you know you are staying close with
your veterinarian because a lot of times we'll have to
treat with an antibiotic on top of some of these
other things as well.

Speaker 16 (09:52):
He is getting his hair MC and he's more enjetic.
He does yelp every.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Now and then.

Speaker 16 (09:57):
We can't figure out why it's yelp. And it's almost
like say, once in a while and we thought we
starting we try and look see if there's more. I
can't seem to find anything.

Speaker 13 (10:08):
Yeah, and you said that he had some other problems
with the worms and such, so have those things been
checked up with the VET as well to make sure
those are gone.

Speaker 16 (10:18):
No, I'm I'm out on the road and I haven't
had yet home.

Speaker 13 (10:23):
Okay, Well, I mean it sounds like you know, you're
hitting everything with the appropriate medications. It's just gonna be
a matter now to decide when we're gonna be done
and over with us. Really, what I like to do
is to make sure that we can prove that those
mites are gone. So normally that's gonna be based someone
on physical exams. So we're going to see that the

(10:43):
hairs looking better, the pet's feeling more comfortable, we're not
itchy scratchy, but we really need to prove that those
mightes are gone, and we do that by rechecking that
skin scraping.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
So I would make sure.

Speaker 13 (10:54):
We keep up with the protocol until we can do that,
and hopefully hopefully we just be a matter of another
a few weeks or so and you'll be done.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
And pass on.

Speaker 16 (11:03):
So I need to take you back to the VET before
I'm putting out there in the fen In area with
the other dogs.

Speaker 18 (11:08):
Man.

Speaker 13 (11:08):
Absolutely, absolutely you need to get that final clearance from them.

Speaker 9 (11:11):
He thanks you.

Speaker 24 (13:05):
Hi, this is kan You Tucker on Animal Radio.

Speaker 17 (13:08):
Love those pets.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You're listening to Animal Radio. Here's Alan Judy.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
We are back on the floor at super Zoom mandal
A Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. It is super
Zoo and the new Pet Product Special. And if it
sounds like I've just eaten a peanut butter bar, I have.
And you know what is a peanut butter bar for dogs?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Very very cool. I'm at the Dog for Dog Booth
and I'm hanging out with Rocky Keeber. Hey, Rocky, how
you doing.

Speaker 25 (13:32):
Hi, I'm doing great. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
I've never heard of Dog for Dog. What is it?

Speaker 26 (13:36):
Well, thanks for asking. So Dog for Dog is a
very simple model. Whenever you buy a product, we donate
that product to a dog in need.

Speaker 18 (13:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, I love that idea. Now, how do you find
the dogs in need?

Speaker 25 (13:46):
So that is a good question.

Speaker 26 (13:48):
It's actually one of the more difficult parts but exciting
and rewarding parts of the business. What we find is,
we say animals in need, so that we're working with shelters,
with rescue groups, We're even in situations where we're working
with homeless people and providing products to their dogs that
are in need.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh, you gotta love that. So your help and when
you buy one of these products. Now, I went over
there and someone offered me one of these peanut butter bars.
I guess is what they are? And I said, well,
that's for the dog. I mean, no, you try it.

Speaker 18 (14:16):
I try to.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
It is very good. You sure it's for dogs?

Speaker 25 (14:19):
Well, well it's it's actually it's delicious. You know. We
we started this company.

Speaker 26 (14:25):
I had a couple of retail stores in the Los
Angeles area and we were I was doing rescue days
and adoption days and we'd get two or three dogs
adopted out.

Speaker 25 (14:34):
It was you know, it's really fantastic.

Speaker 26 (14:36):
But we got this situation where we realized we just
we weren't doing enough and the only way we could
really help on a national level is to get people involved.
Because we people are good people. They we all want
to give, we all want to help. It's just not
always convenient. So that okay, if we can make this
convenient for people and really give them the opportunity to give,
they'll do it.

Speaker 25 (14:55):
And sure enough, it's just spread like wildfire all over
the place.

Speaker 26 (14:59):
And what we've done is we made we make all
you know, a couple of our items. They're human analog right,
So a nutrition bar. You're used to this, it's something
that that you do. So you think, well, that's a
really good idea. If I could, if I could take
that with me, have it in my car console it,
have it along with me anywhere.

Speaker 25 (15:13):
I would have a nutrition bar. My dog could probably
use one as well.

Speaker 26 (15:17):
There's a there's a huge gap between breakfast and dinner
for a dog. So so but yeah, with the nutrition bar,
you know, it doesn't taste bad.

Speaker 25 (15:24):
At all. It is for dogs. It tastes good.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
And the peanut butter too.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
I got to tell you, I don't personally eat peanut
butter because of the hydrogenated oils that are in it.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I mean, they're not good for you. That's not in
this case. You guys don't use.

Speaker 25 (15:35):
That, that's right.

Speaker 26 (15:36):
So what we've done is is we've got a product
called dog's butter, and we take out all of the
hydrogenated oil, salt, sugar, SOI and in fact, some of
the peanut butters and grocery stores don't even have peanuts.
So yeah, yeah, so we've we've stripped it down. And
then what we do is we put things in there
that dogs need. Flax seed, we have coconut for skinning coat.
It's got loric acid in there, so it really helps

(15:58):
with the dog's skinning coat.

Speaker 25 (16:00):
We've got a.

Speaker 26 (16:01):
Dog's butter that has ginger in it, so it helps
with the dog's digestive system.

Speaker 25 (16:05):
So yeah, but basic human quality ingredients, all made in
the USA.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Where can we get it?

Speaker 26 (16:10):
So you can get it at Petco all the way
to your local store and your neighborhood.

Speaker 27 (16:15):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is there a website we can learn more.

Speaker 26 (16:16):
Yeah, you can go to our website at www dot
dog four dog.

Speaker 25 (16:20):
That's just dog f O R dog dot com.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Pretty simple. And you buy something, you're helping another dog. There.
Let's go ahead and give a way a jar of
peanut butter. What kind are we gonna give away?

Speaker 26 (16:29):
You know what, Let's give away our best selling the
skin and coat that's got the coconut and it adds
a certain sweetness.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
And it's dog butter. Right, it's not peanut butter.

Speaker 25 (16:36):
It's dog but that's right, it's dog's butter. What's peanut butter?
I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, thanks Rocky for hanging out with us.

Speaker 25 (16:41):
Hey, thanks for having me. Guys really appreciate it.

Portions of today's show are a repeat from an earlier broadcast.

Speaker 29 (18:41):
Wow Vinnie Penn coming at you again on Animal Radio
with a party animal segment. I saw on the telephone
poll at the end of my street the other day
a missing pet flyer. We've discussed fly here in the past.
The catch with this one is they had drawn the

(19:05):
picture of the cat missing. It was a pencil drawing.
Now that one you're not going to really be able
to tell. I don't know. It didn't look any different
than any other millions of cats you see out on
the show, where you don't see as many these days
as stray cats as you did when I was a
kid back in the seventies and eighties. But they didn't

(19:26):
really look any different. Two, it told me that you're
drawing the picture of this cat that you never took
one of your cat. So how much could you have
possibly loved it if you didn't have a picture to
photo copy for the flyer. Now that Smittens is missing,
not even gonna get into the whole Smittens thing, But.

Speaker 18 (19:46):
How much could you have loved me?

Speaker 29 (19:47):
Maybe Smittens ran away one because you never took a
damn picture of him, and two because he named them smittens.

Speaker 21 (21:00):
Hi, this is Justin Tyler Ferguson's Modern Family.

Speaker 8 (21:02):
I'm on Animal Radio Adopted Pet.

Speaker 15 (21:06):
This is an Animal Radio news update.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
I'm Stacy Cohen for Animal Radio. There's an animal trainer
in Thailand who recently learned the hard way that even
eight years of experience doesn't make sticking your head in
a crocodile's mouth completely safe.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
HM.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
I would guess that it wouldn't be no matter how
long you've worked with him.

Speaker 7 (21:25):
According to the.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
Bangkok Post, this guy went face to face with one
of the reptiles earlier in this week during a show
at the Crocodile Farm in Bangkok. Well, things took a
turn for the worst. The sky's crocs suddenly chopped down
on his head. He was thrashed around for a couple
seconds before the animal let go and then went back
into the water. But other than injuries, believe it or not,

(21:46):
he had injuries on his face and his neck. The
trainer walked away relatively unscathed. Supposedly, this is the first
time any incident like this has occurred at the farm.
It was probably like in SeaWorld where that whale attacked
the trainer and everybody thought it was, you know, just
part of the show. A Salt Lake City based energy
bar maker is turning to crickets as a source of nutrients.

(22:07):
This seems to be the new thing. People are eating
bugs left and right wherever you go, and it's not
just when they're stuck on an island somewhere. According to
CNN Money, the makers of Chapool bars, they use cricket
flour to give their bars a boost to protein. Chapools
founder Patrick Crowley says the six legged critters are a
rich source of edible protein. It's more environmentally friendly than

(22:28):
protein from livestock, and he assures potential consumers that chapool bars,
which come in three flavors, are pretty tasty. However, he
does admit they have a psychological barrier of putting something
derived from crickets in their mouth. Yeah, I might think
twice about eating those two. God, I guess if you
dip it in chocolate, it's probably good, you know. Palaeontologists

(22:49):
from Mexico are working to unearth the world's largest intact
dinosaur tail. The fossil is about sixteen feet long, it's
got a fifty connected vertebrate to it. It was found
in northern Mexico coat was apparently buried for up to
seventy two million years. The fossils believed to belong to
a Hadra sour that's a duck builled dinosaur, and the
exact species really hasn't been determined, but I guess it

(23:12):
kind of looks like that tail. Okay, this is a
sex talk. It's a talk between a zebra and a donkey.
And they have produced a love child like no other.
They've produced Ippo the donkey. It was born into the
gap between two worlds. His dad is a zebra that
was a zebra that was rescued from a failing zoo,
and his mom is a female breed of endangered donkeys

(23:33):
in Italy. Well, they were never supposed to get together.
I guess a donkey jumped the fence. He's hard to
keep down. And they got together and they had a
love child. It's weird the head of the donkey. I mean,
the head looks like a donkey, and then the legs
are a zebra and it does make zebra sounds. Do
you know what a zebra sounds like. It's like when

(23:55):
a fire alarm goes off. It's said, ooh ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah,
Hi exactly.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
We are celebrating our connection with your pets this week
live from Las Vegas the Mandelaba Convention Center. We're super
Zoom is the biggest industry trade show for the pet industry,
which is now a fifty eight billion with a b
fifty eight billion dollar industry. There's over nine hundred and
eighty boos here, all of them trying to pitch stuff
to stores like pet Co and pet Smart and your

(24:37):
mom and pops. They want to give that shelf space.
And not all of them are gonna get it. But
we're gonna talk to a lot of them today and
we're gonna get these new products that they have for you.
We're gonna give them to you before you can buy
them in the store. Amazing fifty eight billion dollars. It
is the second fastest growing sector, the pet industry. And
I noticed that Joy's actually been going around. Actually, people
have been coming up to Joy and asking them to

(25:00):
talk to their animals, and some of them be get
real emotional.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Joy, I gotta say that right now.

Speaker 7 (25:04):
Huh.

Speaker 32 (25:05):
It's true. I always tell people I should carry tissues
with me.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Now, I notice your voice is a little scratchy today.
I might assume that it's all the smoke that Las
Vegas springs.

Speaker 32 (25:14):
Yeah, I'm just kind of not used to being in
a smoke environment. So my body decided it just isn't
going to be happy about it.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
With all this noise, this must be like driving you crazy.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Right, Well, it's definitely.

Speaker 32 (25:25):
It took me a little while to get used to
all the extra input because it's all of a sudden,
like instead of if you were in a room, oh
maybe the size of a normal room with people talking,
and then all of a sudden you went into like
a football stadium with all those people talking. Because I
can hear everybody, you know, I hear everything like that.
I hear all those thoughts and everything, and it's.

Speaker 7 (25:46):
Like, oh my gosh, my heat's gonna explode.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
You know, at times I wish I had the skills
that you have, But at this particular time, I'm glad
that I could only hear the voices.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
In my head.

Speaker 32 (25:56):
You know, I hear those voices. How You've got a
whole lot of them in there.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
I like that a lot, especially lately. Let's not go
to Randy. Hey Randy, Oh, I got to hit this
button here. I'm sorry, I'm not Hey Randy.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
How are you doing?

Speaker 21 (26:07):
Good deal?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Oh splendid, just fabulous. Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 21 (26:11):
I met beaver Dam, Wisconsin, northeast of Madison.

Speaker 33 (26:14):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I hear it's nice and chili.

Speaker 21 (26:16):
For these fifty two degrees. When I will go this
morn I don't close my windows.

Speaker 18 (26:21):
Yeah, she's not crazy, it is.

Speaker 21 (26:23):
It really is.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Well, let me tell you that it's almost one hundred
and seventeen degrees here, so you can have that. Yeah,
I understand you want to talk to Joey Turner.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Is that correct?

Speaker 22 (26:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (26:33):
I have a two and a half year old teddy
bear named Gus, and she drives with me in the
truck all the time, and sometimes I wonder if she's
happy being in the truck all the time. And my
wife just passed away at the beginning of a month,
so I don't really have any other choice with her
right now.

Speaker 18 (26:47):
You know, Hey, buddy, we're.

Speaker 32 (26:50):
Sorry about your wife, and so tell me Gus is
a dog cat.

Speaker 21 (26:55):
It's a dog, two and a half year old. She's
a be Shan poodles so much.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Okay.

Speaker 32 (27:01):
The first thing she wants me to tell you is
she's really sorry. She's grieving as much as you are
about your wife. And the other thing is she says,
don't take her the way she's behaving as being not
happy being with you, because right now there's no place
on earth she would rather be. Wherever you go is

(27:22):
where she wants to be. But she kind of likes
also the opportunity to be able to grieve with you.
So you know, it's kind of like the two of
you just need to hang out and be wherever you are.
She needs to be with you because that's that's what
she wants to do at this point.

Speaker 21 (27:37):
All right, We do that all the time, so I
guess we just keep on going on.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
Absolutely.

Speaker 32 (27:42):
She, by the way, is very delighted that you would
take her with you.

Speaker 18 (27:47):
Yeah, keep your head up, body, and she.

Speaker 7 (27:49):
Does think you are like the best dad in the
whole world.

Speaker 21 (27:53):
All right, thanks a lot, you guys.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
We all come to you live from super Zoo in
Las Vegas, and we're still inside an airstream trailer that's
been retrofitted for Kurgo.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Nice job, I love it. Gordy Spader joined us.

Speaker 27 (28:06):
Oh, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
You know, we've been talking on the air about pet
safety and in regards to pet restraint systems. A lot
of you traveling this year taking your pets out this summer.
I've heard some negative things about restraint systems. We had
a guest on a couple of weeks ago who talked
about the significant failure rate of some of these restraint systems.
Now I've known Kergo for a while and in fact,
we have several of the restraint systems booster.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Seats also that we use for Lady bugas two year.
So I talk what do you guys got going on
and tell us what you.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Think about the whole pet safety issue that's been going
on recently.

Speaker 34 (28:37):
Yeah, So we've been very involved in this from the beginning,
in fact that we've kind of moved this whole industry
forward in terms of doing.

Speaker 27 (28:45):
How we do the testing. And you can see on.

Speaker 34 (28:47):
Our website that there are harnesses that we have there
that have been tested up to thirty five miles an hour.

Speaker 23 (28:52):
Now.

Speaker 34 (28:52):
The Center for Pet Safety has been doing some testing
also and we've been a part of those tests. And
the next round of the results of those are due
to come out in October.

Speaker 27 (29:01):
So those will show a lot.

Speaker 34 (29:02):
Of manufacturers, US and other manufacturers.

Speaker 27 (29:05):
Have been working very hard on him, continuing to.

Speaker 34 (29:08):
Improve the crash you know, doing crash tests and how
the harness reacts.

Speaker 27 (29:14):
In the test.

Speaker 34 (29:15):
So we've had to create crash test dogs that those
didn't exist.

Speaker 27 (29:18):
We created them from scratch.

Speaker 34 (29:20):
That's yeah, And I can tell you some of the
examples as we did it. Along the way, and you
can see these things on our website and on YouTube.

Speaker 27 (29:27):
You can see some of the videos.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
What is that website so kurgo dot.

Speaker 34 (29:30):
Com, k u r g O dot com and there
are some links on there of place. It's showing the
crash tests that we've done at test facilities as.

Speaker 27 (29:40):
Well as some that we've done in our own testing facility.

Speaker 34 (29:42):
But the overall picture here is that this there's no
requirements or no specifications.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
There's no baseline, no so we've had.

Speaker 27 (29:50):
To create this from scratch.

Speaker 34 (29:52):
So you can say, you know, there were some results
that things didn't pass someone's requirements, but we are trying
to side what those requirements should be. So we're working
with the Center for Pet Safety and Subaru, which has
helped to sponsor these new studies, to say, well, what
should these specifications be, and let's push them. Let's make
it safer for everyone to travel together. And that's our

(30:14):
goal is to get people and their dogs out traveling
together as safely as possible.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
What do you have new this year?

Speaker 34 (30:19):
So we continue to push forward on the safety side
and offering these crash tested harnesses are Enhanced Strength truefit
harness with the nesting buckles are really the safest and
really easiest to use harnesses out there, and so we
have those and we have always those are have always
been part of the line, but we're adding to how

(30:41):
strong they are as we continue.

Speaker 27 (30:43):
To learn more about how these how these.

Speaker 34 (30:45):
Should perform, and then more on the seat protection side,
which is also really important. A lot of people, you know, say, oh,
my dad threw down a blanket to keep the dog,
you know, this backseat clean, and that's what I'm going
to do. But we all know that's a pain in
the neck and the blanket gets pushed around and it's just.

Speaker 27 (31:00):
Not a good experience.

Speaker 34 (31:01):
So we've come out with a lot of different designs
and style for the back of your seat, for the
hammocks and the seat covers and the booster seat, which
are some of our most popular items and people. And
we have a new one that's kind of based on
the puffy jackets that people have had. Those are coming
out in September that are great for fall and for winter.
Some are that's called our loft line, and then we

(31:23):
have our muted floral line, which is a much more
decorative take on what you can have in the back seat.

Speaker 27 (31:28):
Of your car.

Animal Radio, Baby Baby, We're.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Coming to you live from super Zoo in Las Vegas
is Mandela a Bay Convention Center and the new Pitt
Products Special.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
We do it yearly here on Animal Radio. We're giving
you things, good stuff for your pets before they're out
in the stores. And in fact, all of these booths here,
over nine hundred and eighty of them, up from five
hundred last year, competing for shelf space in your local store.
And we'll tell you what that's all about. Now.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Most of this is super secret stuff. In fact, they say,
what's happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. We're telling you
right now. We had to go through all kinds of
rigamarole to get accredited to go see these things.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Oh yeah, they screened us.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
They screened us all they did background checks. I know,
Alan almost didn't get his background check cleared to go
check out, you.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Know, because I get too excited.

Speaker 8 (33:46):
I mean, there's so many cool things here that I've
never seen, and I want one and I can't have one.
And that that's and I tried to bribe people, and
I've tried. I've strong armed people, I've used musk and
nothing works. These these people are tough.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
And Judy's been asked to take her camera off her
phone and take it out of the area because they
don't want taking pictures of some of this proprietary houto.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
So we're gonna blab the word and.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
We're gonna give you this stuff here today, an we'll
radio and if we get in trouble, well we'll take
the blame. And we're also toughen out one hundred over
one hundred degree weather for this here. It's actly air
conditioned in here, but you walk outside, we're all shit
and like nobody's business it. Actually, you know, I walked
out just a few minutes ago. That's where everyone goes
to smoke from the convention center. It's actually smoky outside, really, you.

Speaker 13 (34:34):
Know what, And I have to say, Boss is he's
turned off of the doggy potty area because of the
smoke and all the butts laying around.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
It really disgusted him.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I noticed that he's getting along with Lady Bug, the
studio stunt dog, much better than he did last year.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Let's say that Lady Bug is getting along with him better.

Speaker 13 (34:52):
She just doesn't really love him, and she's tolerating much
better this time, because you know, he's kind of like
a you know, backyard dog.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
He's really every man every man's.

Speaker 13 (35:02):
Dog, and she's a little more She only want to prissy.

Speaker 9 (35:06):
Yeah, you go ahead.

Speaker 18 (35:07):
You can say.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
She only went after him like twice so far, and
that's that's a new record for her.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Yeah, she's guarding the booth. She won't let anybody into
the booth here, and dog got it. You know, we're
trying to be friendly here. But let's go to Danny.
You want to go to Danny. Let's go to Danny.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Hey, Danny, how are you doing all right?

Speaker 17 (35:25):
This is Danny from Orlando, Florida. Hey, you got a
question on a ten year old Chi's who I have? Okay,
we took her for the first time to the groomer
yesterday and after she got home. She was like licking
her parts and constantly like in pain. All night. She

(35:46):
spent crying and crying and crying.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
Now ten years old, and this is the first time
she's been groomed.

Speaker 35 (35:52):
Yeah, you should.

Speaker 17 (35:53):
My wife goes he at home.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Oh okay, I'm gonna see how the heck does that happen?

Speaker 17 (35:58):
Usually my wife does it, butout time, for some reason
another we decided to take her to the groom it
to do a better job. Okay, but they've both been
pained for the last twenty four hours. I could tell
that it's red around her areas. I went to pet's morning,
got I get some ointment for burns. But is it
something that's normal? Should I take her to the vat?

Speaker 13 (36:21):
Well, it kind of depends in presuming that you've got
some clipper irritation there, which is not uncommon. There are
pets that certainly have very sensitive skin and are more
prone to that, or for pets that have a really
close clipping, say if you've got matted areas or you're
going for that close summer cut, you might be more

(36:42):
prone to getting clipper irritation, especially in some of the
delicate areas, like you know, the genital areas the arm pits,
those can be really sensitive when they get the clippers
that just kind of rub up against the area. So
if it's a mild abrasion, so if the area's just
red kind of what I would equate so no worse
than like a skin knee, then I'll often use like

(37:05):
a topical over the counter steroid cream, just kind of
like a cortizone type thing for people. But it becomes
a challenge because a lot of dogs become so obsessed,
they're so itchy scratchy, that they can make these type
of areas much worse very quickly. So it is important
that we either find some way to relieve their discomfort,
or at least if it's a localized area, we can

(37:27):
put like an Elizabethan Colard a cone on to keep
them away from that, because repeated licking at those areas
will definitely set in bigger problems. So it's hard to
say without seeing your baby, but you know, a topical
quartzone cream might be a realistic thing. Sometimes I'll even
use an oatmeal shampoo as just kind of a soothing
thing that you can try at home.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
But if she seems like she's really that uncomfortable.

Speaker 13 (37:51):
It might be worthwhile to get her over to the
vet just to see if they need to give her
some pain medicine or get her on an antibiotics.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
Sometimes.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
What do you think about that groomer there, doc, Do
you think that perhaps they shouldn't go back to that groomer.
I mean, does it sound like that's a groomer problem.

Speaker 13 (38:06):
Not necessarily, because it can really depend on what the
goals were with the grooming. And that's why I say,
if a pet is madded and they are kind of
have no choice but to do a close clip, it's
a function of the matting or what the desired clip is.
So for me, if I have a dog that this
happens to, I'd like to have a heart art with
the folks and say, you know, maybe you don't really

(38:26):
want to keep them that short. We'll go with a
longer clip or ask the groomer to use a longer
blade next time. And then if it's something like the
pet is really matted, then it's just a matter of
staying up with those grooming frequencies. But you know, there
are some dogs that you know, just they can have
a lot of sensitivity and if you think about it,
especially for ladies. You know she's shaving those delicate parts.

(38:46):
You know, when that hair grows in, it naturally itches,
so you know, if you got a little close clipping.
You know, for a dog, it's easy to understand how
they can be irritated and develop redness.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
So I don't I don't often blame the groomer.

Speaker 13 (38:57):
I've only run into some true bad groomers just infrequently.

Speaker 17 (39:02):
So okay, so I guess I'll find the collar and
some cream sea that gets better. Because she has been
licking a lot, I think the collar might be a necessity.

Speaker 13 (39:12):
Yeah, and definitely it is individualized. So if it's just
like a single area, I'll often treat very conservatively. But
if it sounds like what you're describing, it's kind of
all over. You know, she might be a bit overwhelmed
with you know, the areas, so i'd encourage you to.

Speaker 11 (39:25):
Have her looked at it as good.

Speaker 17 (39:27):
I appreciate your help.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
They no problem. Let us know how that turns out.

Speaker 17 (39:30):
Okay, thank you very much, guys, have a great afternoon.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Danny Colling from Orlando this afternoon. I appreciate it where
it's probably much cooler than it is here in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Joy.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
What is Ladybugers studio stunt talk? Is she overwhelmed by
all of this.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
She's loving the attention.

Speaker 32 (39:46):
As a matter of fact, that's part of the reason
she's after Boss because she thinks some people think he's cuter.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Oh it's a little jealousy thing.

Speaker 34 (39:53):
Huh.

Speaker 36 (40:00):
Do you have an old car sitting around your house,
Maybe you're even paying insurance on it. Well, if you
don't need that car anymore, donate it running or not
to the United Breast Cancer Foundation. They will even come
and pick it up for free and give you a
receipt for a tax donation. Breast cancer screening could save
the life of someone you love, and right now they

(40:20):
need your help. They want to save more lives through
early detection by offering women free or low cost breast
screening exams. And that's what your old car helps to
pay for. So get your phone out and call right
now to donate your car to the United Breast Cancer Foundation. Remember,
they will come pick it up for free and give
you a tax donation receipt.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
What's going on, Stacey?

Speaker 18 (41:54):
Coming up.

Speaker 6 (41:54):
But I'm going to tell you about a trist between
a zebra and a donkey and they have produced a
love child like no other. Yes, Donkey sex talk coming
up on Animal Radio News.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
It's donkey sex on the Animal.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
You gotta go there, don't you.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
She's a little tinged, a little Can someone look up?

Speaker 8 (42:12):
This super thing is amazing. I wish people could see
the colored dogs, you know, the crazy people who come
and they got this big grooming thing going on, and
they make the dogs all these vibrant colors, and the
owners are dressed in the same colors, and they just
walk around together, all colorful, like rainbows together. It's pretty weird.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
I was gonna tempt I was gonna take Ladybug over
there and have them paint her red. Yeah, but there
so she have her black spots so she would look
like a true Ladybug. I'm gonna do that next year.
I'm gonna walkr around. She's gonna be red and black.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Why not do it this here, I'll be back.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
I'm gonna go take Ladybug and get her painted red.

Speaker 27 (42:43):
I'm so confused, though, I do.

Speaker 8 (42:45):
When you go down the aisle and you see all
the different detergents here. There must be a trillion chew toys,
So you know, how do you know? I mean, how
do you even pick one out? If they give you
the opportunity?

Speaker 5 (42:56):
How would you know what to pick?

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Because you take your dog and I don't have my
dog here? Well, okay, well you can borrow a Ladybug
and walk around and she'll tell you. You know, she'll
stop at the booths that have the good treats. She'll
pass up the bad treats and the good toys, she'll
stop the other toys, she'll pass them by.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Can I can I tell the listeners what we just
saw happen with the dog that just ran down the aisle?

Speaker 5 (43:15):
Oh, you're gonna do that.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
There's a lot of treats here. There's a lot of treats.
Dogs are getting a lot of treats. There's a lot
of food. I gotta say, there's got to be fifty
or sixty oh at least different brands of food here,
and they're all giving out samples of their food. So
Ladybug's trying them all. So far, she's doing very well.
But we just saw what was that a golden retriever?
What was that?

Speaker 4 (43:33):
A lab that was a black lab. Hell, I know
it came buying a blurb, but it was a black lab.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
The owner rushing the black lab out.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
To the UH trying to get out the exit.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Because apparently the black lab not reacting well to some
of the treats, leaving a trail of diarrhea all down
the aisles here.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
Down the like every two to three feet. It drops
some as it ran.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
And Judy's been nice enough to direct traffic keep people
from stepping in all of that right in.

Speaker 5 (43:57):
Front of our booth. I'm looking out at all this.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Oh, we got to get it cleaned up. Okay, Hey, Kevin,
how are you doing.

Speaker 35 (44:04):
I'm doing fine. Thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 35 (44:08):
I'm calling from Los Angeles. You guys are having way
too much fun out there.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, we are.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Except it is over one hundred degrees almost one hundred
and fifteen right now is what I'm looking at.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
So wow, So what do you got going on? I
understand you want to talk to doctor Debbie.

Speaker 35 (44:23):
Yeah, I had a quick question. I was listening to
your program being broadcast earlier this morning in Los Pasinism
and there's a lady that spoke about a German shepherd
and how he was this tippered in his hind legs
and he had some final condition. I also to own
the German shepherd. He's a fibrant fevy three years of all.
His name is King, and I know that in the
future I'm going to have to anticipate the German shepherd

(44:46):
experience and some products with his iron legs, because they're
known for having problems with the islegs. And so my
question was, is knowing that that's going to come into future,
is that some fum I'm insurance that you can touch
just for your dollar for medical situations because having to
take them to the big it's very expensive, and just
that now might pay that kind of cash. It's very expensive.
And I want to get the best kit in my

(45:06):
animal that.

Speaker 13 (45:07):
I can, oh absolutely, And you know what, it's great
that you're thinking ahead because you know a lot of
people don't anticipate those big bills when they come up.
And you know, there's a lot of great advances we
have in veterinary medicine, but they come at a cost.

Speaker 5 (45:21):
And you know a lot of.

Speaker 13 (45:22):
These things can be priced prohibitive if you're not ready
for them. So with with any breed of dog. My
recommendation is I do recommend pet insurance, and I prefer
to get a dog or cat into that when they're young,
preferably as a popular kitten, because number one, your rates
are going to be the lowest then. And also you

(45:43):
haven't said any kind of patterns of pre existing conditions,
because once your dogs, say, has a problem with allergies
or ear infections, that's already documented in the medical record,
and those may not be covered if you sign up
for insurance later. So the best advice is get into
insurance early, and then your question about some of these

(46:03):
big problems and shepherds like hip displasia, you have to
be cautious because if you are hoping to have that
kind of insurance help you for a specific condition, you
really need to check the pet insurance carefully. There are
different exclusions for both hereditary conditions and pre existing conditions.
So for example, you were to tell me you went

(46:25):
to the vet down the street and they told you
your dog has hip displasia right now, and then you
try to get an insurance policy after the fact, it's
very possible that a company might not cover it at all. Wow,
Some conditions. If they're treatable, they will. Even if it's
pre existing and it's been noted before, they may cover it.
But it depends on the company, it depends on the condition.

(46:49):
So it's something I'd have a hard time telling you
a blanket which one to go with. But the other
thing to keep in mind was some of these different
pure breed diseases. In hip displacia is very common in
German shepherds. Is that that has a hereditary base, so
it is passed on from generation to generation, so they
may have an exclusion based on that as well. So

(47:12):
what I recommend you can do this stuff online.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
It's very easy.

Speaker 13 (47:16):
You go to the different insurance pet insurance websites and
you can go through and ask for a free quote
and it's very easy.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
You get a little annoying email.

Speaker 13 (47:26):
After the fact, but you can always unsubscribe if you
don't want that. But it's a really good way to
kind of price compare and then once something is looking
like it's in your budget, I do suggest to get
someone on the horn and add those specific questions.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Well, let me tell you what we've done here. Personally,
this is me. I'm not talking for animal radio, but
I priced the insurance, and then I decided to take
a certain portion out of my paycheck every month instead
of paying the insurance company, I put it into an
interest bearing savings account. This is a savings account specifically
for medical emergencies for my animals. And I'll let that

(48:00):
I had grown all collect interest on that. Then I
don't have to really worry about any kind of pre
existing conditions.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
I don't have to worry about that idea.

Speaker 13 (48:06):
Yeah, well, you know, and hew, that'll only get you
so far. So let's say I have a perfect example.
I have a client who had a labrador puppy that
needed a intestinal surgery because he ate something. So we
had that surgery done, and then she got some insurance.
She let it lapse, and wouldn't you believe it or not,
he needed another procedure, another emergency surgery, just less than

(48:28):
six months later. So if you're counting on savings, it
can really get wiped up quickly by multiple events.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
And something like say a hip surgery.

Speaker 13 (48:35):
You know you're looking for a large breed dog minimum
twenty five hundred dollars for some hip procedures.

Speaker 5 (48:41):
Some will be upwards.

Speaker 13 (48:42):
You know, hip replacement can be a heck of a
lot more than that, so you know what, you can
gamble that way, but just I advise caution because you
know you're limited with what you can select down the road,
and you really that's where people need to ask questions,
find out what it covers and what it doesn't. And
that's really I hate for people to buy insurance and
just do it blindly. You need to know what you're getting.

Speaker 8 (49:03):
Gosh, it's just so amazing how much pets costs now.
I mean in the old days, you know he went
to the vet, it was ten fifteen bucks, and now
it's just so much money.

Speaker 35 (49:12):
Well, listen, I certainly thank you for your advice. I
think I'm going to try both situations. I'm going to
start saving a little bit and then I'm going to
asome look at those boats too as you're doing. Ye,
thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (49:21):
Is doctor w Do you have like a barter system?
Like let's say I wanted to bring my pet to you,
but I was pennyless. Could I could I barter with you?
Maybe maybe maybe trade work for work, you know, do
some do some plumbing for you, or maybe I could
you know, maybe I could do my thunder down over
dance for you or something.

Speaker 13 (49:36):
No, no, definitely not that I would tell you, definitely not.
But you know what, then, how do I pay my
employees and chickens and anyway?

Speaker 5 (49:43):
Pay them in produce?

Speaker 27 (49:45):
Wouldn't that be a great world?

Speaker 18 (49:46):
That would be such a great world if people did that.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
There's some place here they are.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
We're back on the floor and man, the l a
Bay Convention Center and is super zooming in our new
pet product. Especially we're over at the Merrick booth. I'm
usiting with Pete and Betsy. Hey, Pete, how you doing?

Speaker 20 (49:59):
Yeah, I'm great.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
Hello, it's great to be here.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Well, I've always loved Merrik, So tell me what do.

Speaker 18 (50:03):
You have new?

Speaker 20 (50:04):
Well, we're really excited to debut at this show, Perfect Bistro.
You know what better place than super Zoo to talk
about a new line.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Of cat food.

Speaker 20 (50:12):
We have twenty one new offerings in the Perfect Bistro line.
It's a high protein cat food that we think the
cats will lick their whiskers for.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Well, I love the name already.

Speaker 20 (50:20):
We have a whole menu and think of a bistro yourself.
You know, we know our pets want, they want what
we want, and so we provide delicious, tasty and textured
food for cats. We know cats can be somewhat finicky,
and so that's why variety is really the name of
the game when it comes to helping our feline friends.
And so we've offered three different textures over the twenty

(50:41):
one menu items. Whether they be shredded, whether they be pete,
or whether they be sliced. Those are three textures that
we found that a lot of cats enjoy.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
You know what, I don't know that there's anybody else
in the business that is concerned about texture as much
as you want.

Speaker 20 (50:56):
You know, I think it's about taste and texture, and
I think pet parents have told us that they know
that texture matters, but also what matters is a high protein,
nutritious food. And we've got some different issues that we
help them manage to whether it be weight management, furball
A fiber helps with those furball A hairballs. And that's
what really pet parents have told us, and so we've

(51:17):
designed a food in Perfect Bistro that helps meet their needs.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
The best thing about the new Pet Product special, of course,
is the giveaways.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
And then Pete, what are we going to give away?

Speaker 18 (51:25):
Well, we've got two things for you.

Speaker 20 (51:27):
For our dog friends, we have Grammy's pot Pie, so
a case of Grammy's pop Pie none other than Marreg's
Grammy's Pop Pie to start their day with.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
And I gotta say, Lady Bug, the studio stunt dog
is enjoining some of that right now.

Speaker 20 (51:38):
And then for our feline friends, we have perfect Bistro
and so we'd love to give a bag of our
dry food as well as a case of cans to
meet their variety and their taste and texture needs.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Sounds good.

Speaker 9 (51:51):
Portions of today's show are a repeat from an earlier broadcast.

Speaker 32 (51:56):
Dogs or Cats horsing you.

Speaker 7 (52:00):
Animals are people too.

Speaker 37 (52:03):
John Elder from England was heartbroken when his prize termite
sniffing beagle was stolen. Someone stole Jony by breaking a
small air vent and dragging her through, leaving some skin
and fur. Elder talked to local media and news of
the lost termite dog reached neighboring towns. A motorist found

(52:24):
Jony walking, dazed and confused in the middle of the highway.
She originally thought that Joni had been hit by a
car because she was missing so much skin and hair.
Her daughter read about the missing dog and soon elder
and his missing hound were reunited. Jonie's abductor hasn't been found,
but I'd look for somebody who used to have termites.

(52:45):

We wish you were all here with us, but it
is over one hundred degrees in the see I can't
even talk that it's affecting me.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
The thermometer in my car set one hundred and seventeen
degrees out there.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
So we're taking it. We're tough on it.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
We're taking the hit for you over here at Animal
Radio as we broadcast live from Las Vegas and the
Mandalay Bay Convention Center. We're not only answering your questions
as we usually do, but we're giving you a look
at the new pet products that are coming out for
this fall, a new fifty eight billion dollar industry expected
to be in the sixties and well, you know, things

(54:37):
have changed. The dog used to be in the backyard
and the doghouse. Now they're inside, sleeping in the bed
with us, and we're treating them like family. We're buying
them clothes. That's why there are so many booths here,
so many people trying to pitch products that will be
in the stores. And to be completely honest with you,
nine hundred and eighty booths all with different products. They're
all competing for shelf space in your local pet Co

(54:59):
or your That's Smart or your local mom and pop store.
Not all of them are gonna make it. Some of
the ideas I think are genius. Some of the ideas
I think they're a little just between you and me,
kind of stupid.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
But we're gonna weed them out for you. We're gonna
give you some of these items.

Speaker 8 (55:13):
Can I just say, I'm glad you brought up being
completely honest. I'm glad you said that because you know
a couple I don't know when it was, you were
talking about Joy and the loss of her vocal power
and that she was, you know, she's having trouble talking,
and you said it was because of all the smoke
here in Vegas. Why why can't you just say why
can't you just tell everyone that Doctor Debbie took the

(55:34):
Ladies to the thunder Down on their show with the
with the Guide Dancers, and Joy lost her mind totally.

Speaker 27 (55:39):
Why can't you say.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
That, Yeah, the Ladies went to the thunder down Under,
which is a great thing. I unfortunately got into some
bad fish or something, and I have thunder down Under.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Also, but it's a different kind of thunder down. Under it.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Yeah, we know, Alan what happens in Vegas State Vegas.
That's why we can't.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Talk about it except on Animal Radio. We're just blabbing
our little mouths off. Yeah, that is true. Joy went
out and she was screaming at the guys. And she's
lost her voice. She can speak, let's hear.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Give the give the audience a little sample of your voice.
They're joint.

Speaker 32 (56:08):
Okay, So you know, guys, I thought this was going
to be just between the what is the eight of
us or whatever it.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Is here, it's always the quiet ones. Hey Dave, how
are you doing?

Speaker 33 (56:19):
Hey? Good?

Speaker 2 (56:20):
So what's going on with your animal?

Speaker 11 (56:21):
I got a yellow lab. She's seven years old, having
problems with fleas, I mean some severe problems. We bombed
the house. I have two chiualas and I have three
outside cats. The cats are outside, they're never come inside.
I seem to clear the problem up on the chualas.
But the lab, she just it's awful. I mean she

(56:44):
got patches ripped out of her fur.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (56:47):
Now, I had tried the front line the advantage. I
tried dipping her. I tried all kinds of sprays. I
tried dietamacious, RF.

Speaker 13 (56:57):
When we have resistant infections are really over whelming flea populations,
we need to kind of back up and look at
what fleas are all about, and they're not just what
you see crawling on your dog or your cat.

Speaker 5 (57:10):
That's the very smallest proportion of that life cycle.

Speaker 13 (57:14):
And the biggest problem I see that folks do is
we focus on what we see to evaluate how well
we're doing our job at controlling fleas and the flea
life cycle. They only spend about five percent of their
time as adults on the animal, so the rest of
their life cycle they are living.

Speaker 5 (57:30):
Off the pet and in the environment.

Speaker 13 (57:33):
So if we're only using products that are going to
kill those five percent on the animal, we're not doing
a very good job because those other ones are going
to have time to develop. So that's really important when
you look at what products you're using, and also frequency,
because the flea life cycle, it can take about approximately
three weeks from them to go from an immature egg

(57:53):
going up until an adult, so that cycle keeps going
and going and going, and actually some eggs.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
Wait almost a year to develop into adults.

Speaker 13 (58:02):
So we have to be consistent and continue our flea
efforts in some parts of the country.

Speaker 5 (58:06):
This is year round.

Speaker 13 (58:08):
The thing I would ask you to look at is
some of the different products that you're using. You mention
something like Frontline, which is it's a fine product, but
I would want to make sure if you're using that product,
they're using one called Frontline Plus. There are different types
of sterilizers in a lot of these products, and that
is in the Frontline Plus, but not in the plane frontline,

(58:28):
just as there's some others that I say in Advantics
versus Advantics one versus Advantics two. So the higher generation
as I call it, products actually have these sterilizers. So
those what that does is they're going to try to
help you with those other forms that haven't yet developed
into the adult flea. The other thing is that I
want to make sure that you know we're incorporating other

(58:48):
ways to help kill off these fleas. And the other
problem that I see that folks do is they try
to tackle this on their own. So it's kind of
like trying to treat a kid with asthma without ever
going to the doctor to get the proper or medication.
So I would encourage you to work with your veterinarian
and a lot of times I'll actually advocate using an
oral product that will help to kill off the adults quicker.

(59:09):
Then sometimes these other topicals can And if like you're Labrador,
you're describing a dog that sounds like she very well
could have flea allergy dermatitis, which is more than just
a normal flea infestation. Some pets can have an exorbitant
response to the saliva from the flea bite, and they
can have one bite that sets them off for days weeks,

(59:32):
and they're just.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
Really furiously itchy from that.

Speaker 13 (59:34):
So for those pets, it's imperative that we do a
good quick kill and a lot of these oral forms
that you get from your vet that will help to
kill those adults quickly. And then a lot of those
pets I'll also have to resort to steeroids to really
help comfort that itch so they don't tear themselves apart.

Speaker 8 (59:49):
Is there anything you know, because you know, like with ants,
you know that they tell you to put a barrier
around your house and they have some organic.

Speaker 27 (59:56):
Stuff that I used to keep the ants on.

Speaker 8 (59:58):
Is there anything that he can put outside of his house,
on his property that would kill the fleas before they
could even get on the dog's.

Speaker 11 (01:00:08):
Right around the base in my house.

Speaker 13 (01:00:10):
Yeah, and you know, on theory that works great. But
the problem is we have dogs that venture in and
out the house. So you can treat a barrier, but
as long as your dog is going outside, that bearer
is broken. I'd rather folks not focus on trying to
set up a perimeter because you're not going to be
able to do that. Please, have an amazing capability of
not only transporting on paths, but jumping.

Speaker 11 (01:00:31):
If you don't go outside very much.

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
It doesn't matter, you know, it does not matter.

Speaker 7 (01:00:35):
Please.

Speaker 13 (01:00:36):
They are very opportunistic. I hate to say it, but
I think there's a lot of opportunities that you do
have in kind of addressing some of these products, the
frequency and then really you know, like I said, I
would pick up the phone and chat with your local
veterinarian and see what else we need to do, especially
for your labrador to get her some good comfort from
that itch.

This is an Animal Radio news update.

Speaker 6 (01:01:31):
I'm Stacey cohen Ford Animal Radio. A British woman. Okay,
just pay attention. It's a British woman. It's not an
English American woman. A British woman has been saddled with
the fine after bringing her horse into a McDonald's restaurant
of court to see I know what you think it's
Stacy was this?

Speaker 33 (01:01:48):
You know?

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
No, No, I haven't gone anywhere outside of the country.
According to BBC News, Greater Manchester Police say the woman
initially tried to ride the animal through the drive through,
but she was turned away, so she decided, you know what,
but you're not gonna let me go through the drive through,
that I'm going to come in. She brought the horse
inside the fast food restaurant, where it promptly did its
business on the floor. A MacDonald spokeswoman said the sight

(01:02:11):
and smell of the incident caused obvious distress to her customers.
Trying to enjoy the meals, and she added that the
health and safety of their customers is a priority, which
is why they refuse to serve people on horseback and
any other customer that's not in a car at the
drive through. Cincinnati Zoo officials are hoping to save a
critically endangered species. Zookeepers are going to try to mate

(01:02:32):
a female sumatron rhino with her younger brother in an
urgent maneuver to reverse the species decline.

Speaker 7 (01:02:39):
Are you allowed to do that?

Speaker 6 (01:02:40):
That isn't that incest? They're believed to be just one
hundred Sumatron rhinos in the wilds of Southeast Asia because
of habitat lost in poachers. The Cincinnati Zoo has successfully
bred three rhinos, including the pair they're currently trying to mate. Hmmm,
something doesn't seem right about that. A Spokane washing man
is claiming his encounter with a spider caused him to

(01:03:04):
crash his pickup into a semi truck. You know what,
any woman can relate to this? I guess a guy
can too. Levi Van Dyke told Spokane's cah QTV that
he freaked out when he caught sight of the spider
crawling up the back of his leg as he drove well,
he began swatting at this creature, causing him to clyde
with the back of a semi. While the crash caused

(01:03:24):
serious damage to his truck. He came away from the
wreck with only a scratch on his head and his shoulder.
He chalked up his good fortune to a higher power,
saying he had some angels watching over him. Meantime, the
driver of the semi was unharmed. I would be screaming
my hat off. Bugs and I don't go well together. Okay,
this was kind of cute. Motorists were heading through the
Griffith Park area of LA and they had to slow

(01:03:47):
down while they were driving on the five freeway for
a nature break. The CHP said traffic came to a
halt on the southbound five right near Fletcher Drive, so
this mama duck under ducklings could cross the lane.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
To the freeway.

Speaker 6 (01:04:00):
I can't believe they were able to even get the
police up there fast enough. The birds were apparently on
their way to the nearby La River, and duck crossings
in the past have caused several freeway accidents, not to
mention plenty of traffic jams. I'm Stacey Cohen. Get more

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Enjoyed at Margarita.

Speaker 24 (01:05:57):
I grew up in California, and when wanted web or

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):

Speaker 24 (01:06:07):
No, I'm scared of this tornadoes. I'll take an earthquake any.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Day, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Humidity and tornadoes is what this?

Speaker 33 (01:06:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
I like you. You're my kind of doubt you married woman?

Speaker 24 (01:06:19):
Yes I am. It'll be forty years next year.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Holy mo, you don't even sound forty years old? Would
you get married when you were three?

Speaker 24 (01:06:27):
Eighteen?

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
I have the good doctor here.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
She's uh, she's the only one that's not sweating because
she lives here in Las Vegas.

Speaker 24 (01:06:34):
What can we help you with? Well, I have a
note almost a ten months old sheep suit and wonderful.
I've had a loss of office before and another sheet
sue and we never had a problem with them. But
this little one eats for poop and.

Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
It disgusted you, doesn't it.

Speaker 24 (01:06:50):
Yes, I look at that face and I'm thinking you
used to be so cute.

Speaker 33 (01:06:57):
Thing.

Speaker 13 (01:06:58):
Oh yes, Now, I gotta say, the first thing we
have to do is just look at that cute face
and not take it personal. This is a normal doggy behavior.
As disgusting as we find it, it is just sometimes
a gleeful pastime.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
For some dogs.

Speaker 13 (01:07:16):
So recognize that that dogs. It's kind of what mamma
dog does when she has baby. She licks their behind
to clean and ingest their waists, so it's very natural.
It sounds gross, but when I say it that way,
it sounds so pleasant, doesn't it. So that's the first
thing is we got to get past the emotions and
the drama, because when you catch your baby doing it,

(01:07:36):
you definitely don't want to make a big to do
about it. You don't want to yell, scream, try to
remove it from her mouth because that makes it worse.
So you actually, I like to do a couple of things.
One is, if you catch her in the act, I
go for distraction, you know, finding a squeaky toy or
something really good that you can go running in the
other direction and just really finding something more fun than

(01:07:56):
her picking up that poop. And then you really really
have to be vigilant, and this means not allowing her
to go out to the potty area without supervision. You
need to be able to supervise, make sure she does
her business.

Speaker 5 (01:08:10):
You give her that.

Speaker 13 (01:08:10):
Praise and she leaves the area. And then combine that
with picking up her waist on a timely fashion. So
really every day, several times throughout the day. I just
prefer to have it picked up and put in a
little receptacle right away.

Speaker 24 (01:08:23):
Yeah, so we braced the yard, you know, and she
has a doggy door, so that's part of part part
of our problem exactly.

Speaker 13 (01:08:31):
Yeah, because the doggie door is a very convenient thing,
but it's not our friend when it comes to a
dog that has some problem outside misbehaving. So that's gonna
You're probably gonna have to take that dog door away,
take control of her entry and exits. There's other things
you can do. There's all sorts of things you can
bait and treat her stool with. But you know what
goes down to just really training.

Speaker 24 (01:08:51):
On dog food. People tell me if i'll feed them
the raw, my broomers I've been they've handled three of
my dogs for thirty years, and they say that if
you feed them the raw, that their body uses all
of the nutrients in that food, so it comes out
almost useless.

Speaker 5 (01:09:09):
Well, you know, it's still do a.

Speaker 24 (01:09:11):
Little white pile and that's it.

Speaker 13 (01:09:13):
Yeah, And that would be if we're assuming that we
have some kind of deficiency and she was ingesting the
stool for that reason. But the honest truth is that
most cases, especially in puppies, it's just it's a fun habit.
They enjoy doing it, and it becomes more fun if
we chase them around and yell at them.

Speaker 24 (01:09:29):
They're like, let's make a run. Look at the neighbors laugh.
And when the moms out there running around with her
flat water fish net trying to get up the poo
and she's running every which way.

Speaker 8 (01:09:42):
You took a poo with fish nuts on your mic was.

Speaker 24 (01:09:47):
I was kind of of using the butterfly net type things,
driving you crazy and come to get you with the
butterfly net.

Speaker 13 (01:09:56):
But you know what, you know, that is a good
question because a lot of people think that you know,
by all the diet that we're gonna or giving them.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
Some kind of supplement, we're gonna stop this. So I
don't think your feet a bad diet. I don't think
that's probably the reason. I think she's just had a
lot of fun.

Speaker 8 (01:10:09):
When you catch her doing it, do you make a
big whooptie do about it?

Speaker 27 (01:10:11):
Like it always cited?

Speaker 24 (01:10:13):
And well, now now that we've we've gone through this,
she had a sister that's gone now, but they investigated
each other's soop. Is when I first started realizing that,
you know, I think they're eating their own coop. So
that started with that, and then I was she started

(01:10:33):
doing it on her peepee pads after she'd go to
the bathroom. There we catch her doing it and grab
it up and put it in the trash can and
and all that to keep her from you know, even
thinking about it. But now that she roams outside quite
a bit, she you know, has a lot of opportunity.

Speaker 8 (01:10:50):
And can I just make a little observation for you.
Remember this, Your dog has nothing but time on his hands,
and your dog studies you other time, just watches how
you react to different things. And once a dog figures
out how to get attention from a human, then the
dog will do those behaviors.

Speaker 25 (01:11:08):
Over and over.

Speaker 8 (01:11:09):
So if you're making a big deal out of her
eating her poop and you're totally focused on her poop
and when she poops, she's already figured that out. So
she is going to use that to get attention from you.
And so one way to change that is to give
her attention in other areas, give her a lot of exercise,
spend time with her at least a half hour a day,
stimulating her brain. And you know, because a lot of

(01:11:29):
times dogs et poop because they're bored too. But once
they figure out that you're going to react to it,
they're going to keep doing it.

Speaker 18 (01:11:35):
Just like doctor Debby.

Speaker 24 (01:11:36):
Said, all right, we're just going to have to turn
off the reaction button and get her attention away from it.
And then while she's not even looking, get rid of
have my husband get rid of the poop, and she
won't see me doing it, and maybe we.

Speaker 17 (01:11:50):
Can fool her.

Speaker 24 (01:11:50):
Although she's sitting in here listening.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
Now, she might be the host feel yep, she might
be hearing this. She probably enjoys. Does she know what
we're talking about?

Speaker 32 (01:11:58):
Well, I should say unfortunate, Yes she does.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Okay, so I've.

Speaker 24 (01:12:02):
Mentioned the poop words, so she's all attention okay, pretending
to sleep over here for the comfort.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
You should have spelled it. You should have spelled it.

Speaker 35 (01:12:13):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Hey, Marge, how are you ken?

Speaker 33 (01:14:13):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 18 (01:14:15):
Well?

Speaker 33 (01:14:15):
Right now, I'm in Oklahoma, you truck driver?

Speaker 17 (01:14:18):
Yes, okay, I have.

Speaker 33 (01:14:20):
An English mask. She's eight months old and I had
her training for a while to be able to walk
without dragging me across the street and to come on
a halt command. But she does real good at halt
command at home, like if she's in the backyard and
I yell halt, she comes right to me. But when

(01:14:40):
I stop on the road, like I always try to
stop where there's an open field where I can let
her run, she doesn't come on to halt command when
I tell her, now, use streets, like when she starts
coming to me, finally I tell her come and then
I give her a three. But it seems like she
just ignores me when I'm yelling a halt for her
to come to me.

Speaker 8 (01:15:00):
Well, you know, she's eight months old, and what you
said is real interesting that you use treats because that's
a good technique. But just so you know, until your
dog is able to come to you whenever you call,
you probably shouldn't let her off leash in strange places.
That's probably something you shouldn't do. And the way to
train your dog to come to you, it's a good
technique with treats. When she's really into treats, you have

(01:15:22):
a leash on her and you just sort of stand
there and let the leash out and tell her to come.
And when she comes, you give her a treat, and
you do it over and over and over again, and
then you stop giving her treats, but you give her affection.
One thing you don't want to do a lot of
people do that.

Speaker 18 (01:15:35):
I see.

Speaker 8 (01:15:36):
They make a terrible mistake. They get really frustrated when
their dog doesn't come, and then when their dog finally
does come, they punish the dog. So if you're doing that,
you're sending the dog a message. Good for you, girl,
because you don't want to do that. Now, the reason
why your dog doesn't come when you're in a strange
place and you let her go on a field is
because there's way more interesting things than you in that

(01:15:57):
field that she's distracted by. And if there's more fun
away from you than there is with you, she's going
to go to where the fun is. Especially at eight
months old, she's going to want to explore, and she's
going to want to go kooky, and she is not
going to pay any attention to you until she learns
to respect you and look at you as a leader.
And I would not let her off a leash if

(01:16:17):
I were you, unless it's a fenced place, because she
is not going to pay attention to you for a while.

Speaker 14 (01:16:23):
And as I.

Speaker 8 (01:16:23):
Told one caller, remember you may train your dog fifteen
twenty minutes a day, but your dog is watching you
another twenty three hours and forty five minutes a day.
And whatever you're doing, you're teaching your dog whether you're
a leader or you're not. So you've got to act
like a leader and check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Constantly when you're with a dog, you got to think
about what you're doing and how you're acting. Act like

(01:16:45):
a leader, and your dog will treat you like a leader.
But remember, you've got to work with your dog every
day on this exercise until she learns to come to
you every single time you call, because if not, what
happens is one day your dog gets.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Hit by a car.

Speaker 33 (01:17:00):
That's why I'm always going in a big open field
where we're not buy anything. Okay, I just feel bad
because she doesn't get a whole lot of exercise in
the wall.

Speaker 8 (01:17:08):
There you go, There you go. That's the number one
the number one cardinal rule of teaching a dog that
you're a leader is you can't feel bad. Okay, if
you feel bad, you've instantly lost. When you feel bad inside,
you are not a leader. You are not treating your
dog like a leader. You're not being a leader. What
you're doing is you're you're having a human emotion of guilt,

(01:17:29):
and when you feel guilty, you cannot be an effective
leader of a dog.

Speaker 33 (01:17:33):
Okay, I listen to you, guys. I just found you
guys a couple of weeks ago, so I've been listening
in to it. I just said, maybe I'm just so
expecting too much too soon.

Speaker 8 (01:17:45):
Well, you are a girlfriend, she's only eight months old.
You can get one of those fifty foot retractable leashes too,
and you can let her go and pay no attention
to you, you know, and let her do her thing,
and then you call her, you say, come, and if
she doesn't pay attention to you, give a little joke,
give a little give a little tug of the leash. Come, okay,
give a little joke. Only do it twice though. If
she doesn't listen, retract the leash, bring it in, stop talking,

(01:18:10):
stand there and when she starts paying attention to you,
you look at her and go, good dog. Then then
do it over and over and over and over and
over again, never stop until she learns to stop what
she's doing.

Speaker 29 (01:18:20):
You know, I have a dog.

Speaker 8 (01:18:21):
He could be chasing a bunny and I'll go, hey,
stop and he stops in his tracks and comes to me.
That takes months and months and months of work.

Speaker 33 (01:18:31):
Okay, all right, that's the fin me what I needed
to hear. I do have one question on these English mastives.
Are they good dogs? For? Are they stubborn? Or are
they you know? Like I know, like I used to
have a sharp pay and I couldn't do anything with
that sharp pay. But these English mastives are they good dogs?

Speaker 8 (01:18:51):
You know? The only dogs that I've ever the only
dogs that you know, you're really it's hard to train
him to do stuff. It's not that they're stubborn, it's
just because of the way they are. Their breed, you know,
are child dogs and also huskies and malamutes. They're kind
of aloof, you know, they're they're kind of hard to train.
They don't act like your normal dog. They kind of
act like cats. So they're a little bit different and

(01:19:12):
you have to treat them differently. They're powerful dogs, and
you know, they're bread to pull sleds, and child dogs,
I guess at one time guarded palaces and so they're
very independent. But I don't really have much experience with
an English mastif, although a lot of people are getting
those dogs now. I would just assume doctor Debbie probably
no more than me that you know. Pretty much, they're

(01:19:32):
like any other dog, and you just got to be
their leader.

Speaker 33 (01:19:35):
Okay, Well, I appreciate you guys talking to me, and
I'm not giving up on her, that's for sure.

Speaker 8 (01:19:41):
Don't give up on her. But stop feeling guilty. That's
a human emotion. Dogs don't feel guilty. You shouldn't either.

Speaker 33 (01:19:46):
Okay, I'll get alonger leash. I have a walking leash,
and then I have one of those leads, the ones
that's chicking retracked out, but I don't think it's fifty feet,
so I'll get one of those.

Speaker 27 (01:19:57):
Good luck to you, March.

Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Well, that's all we have for today.
