“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores. By collaborating closely with local communities, especially traditional cattle herders, CLAWS supports both species conservation and rural livelihoods—making coexistence not just possible, but sustainable.…

Hey Everyone! Welcome to the Theory of Pets Podcast.

I am your co-host, Connor Knight, and the President of Top Dog Tips.

Today we are going to brush up on some controversial topics and questions.

Commercial Dog Food Recently, commercial dog food has been intensely scrutinized for its process of providing cheap and affordable dog food at scale.

To do this at their level, many believe the dog food companies cut corners and lack quality control.

We will go through some tough questions, and you'll hear direct answers from a veterinarian, so stay tuned!

Here are some of the questions we tackle:

How did homemade dog food come about?

What is the difference between raw dog food and homemade dog and cat food?

What is considered healthier between the two?

What are your thoughts on carbohydrates being included in their diet?

What are the important vitamins and minerals that need to be included in those diets that commercial dog foods claim to have?

What is the issue with commercial dog foods?

Is the controversy valid that commercial dog foods lack qc and cut corners on protein sources?

What are your thoughts on the past decade of controversy that commercial dog food has come under?

What exactly do dogs and cats need nutrition on a general rule of thumb?

What are extreme home recipes?

What are middle-of-the-road home recipes?

Does a dog need carbohydrates?

How much more expensive is it for owners to switch to homemade dog food or raw food compared to kibble?

What are your thoughts on some of the higher-end kibble dog food?

Do they hit all the nutrients that a dog needs?

What are your thoughts on the synthetic vitamins and amino acids added to commercial dog foods?

Me: I am not a vet but I took a course that was designed by a veterinarian that taught me how to read dog food labels and talked about how these synthetic vitamins and minerals work and how they act differently than the real vitamins and minerals dogs and cats get in food.

What are the health benefits of homemade dog and cat food?

The best advice, work with a nutritionist. https://acvn.org/

What are the potential health downsides of homemade dog and cat food?

I learned that salmonella already exists in the gut of some healthy dogs, so would you say outside of that is there really any risk to the dog?

So winter is coming up and what are the most common problems you see from pet owners when winter comes around, and let’s say fall for some areas bc I know it gets pretty cold in certain parts of the country in fall I have a short haired dog, what is the coldest she would be able to go outside in? Do a lot of dog owners that live in cold places have short haired dogs? Is that dangerous for the dog What should I be putting on my dog if it is pretty cold outside to protect them How cold is too cold Long hair Double coat Short hair Let’s say we get snowed in for a few days and I cannot walk my dog except maybe taking them out How do i go about making sure they stay entertained and get good exercise physically and mentally If my pet is less physically active do I need adjust their calories? I live in the city and walk my dog on the sidewalks in the dead of Winter, what’s the right way to protect their paw pads? Should I be putting on the funny dog clothing during winter? Is there actual practicality other than anthropomorphizing my dog? Let’s say its 10-15 degrees outside Both my dog and cat are outdoor animals, but obviously it isn’t safe. However I want them to get a little if any exposure outside How long can they be outside before it becomes risky Are there any viruses or pests people should be aware of during winter for their pet?…

TOP #132 Do You Speak Dog? Understanding Dog Body Language w/ Robin Bennett 46:52

3 years前46:52

46:52

Hi there! Welcome to the Theory of Pets Podcasts! We started this podcast to uncover truths in the pet industry. Today I am joined by Robin Bennett. Robin Bennett has been a dog behavioralist trainer for over 30 years. After successfully running her own behavior training business, she started a business that teaches doggy daycares how to understand dog behavior and body language. Enter the Dog Gurus. After that she decided again to evolve her business into a recent venture called Ruffly Speaking! This is a platform where you get access to years of experience from dog behavior trainers and they also help educate dog owners like you and I make the best buying decisions for our pets. In today's podcast we talk about dog behavior and she drops some golden nuggets in certain scenarios that I felt would be valuable to touch on for you all. Give it a listen! Here are the questions I ask her today: Tell everyone a bit about you and your story and what you did before ruffly speaking How would your sessions go with clients, walk me through the individual clients and the questions you would ask them when you would work with individuals You also trained owners and employees how to run doggy daycares Why did you start doing that? Now let’s start digging into ruffly speaking Why did you create it? What did you see that was missing that you could fulfill for people with your background With ruffly speaking what will people get that they don’t normally have access to? What is the difference between ruffly speaking and a typical facebook group or a local dog trainer? What problem do you see in the pet ownership world it solving? What is the biggest thing you see that people miss when they get a dog and the dog does a behavior their owner does not like or approve of Tell us about the behavior of dogs from your experience and perspective What about them that makes it easy to understand them What about dog’s behavior that you understand and teach people can how their dogs are going to behave What is your philosophy in dog training? Why do you have that approach? We’ve talked off camera about the “balanced training” approach (rewarding dogs when they do something right, and correcting them when they do something wrong), why do you think it isn’t as effective as positive reinforcement What is wrong with “balanced training”? How should people seek out dog training Quick little checklist so they get it right How can people sign up for ruffly speaking? Where else can people find you on social media? I personally started using Ruffly Speaking's platform and it has a wealth of knowledge, I HIGHLY recommend if you are a dog owner that you sign up. It'll be the best investment in building your relationship with your pup. It's $19.99/mo. if you are interested, make sure to sign up using this link: https://tz203.isrefer.com/go/rufflyspeaking/topdogtips…

TOP #131 Deep Dive In How To Care And Train Your Dog From A Veterinarian's Perspective 1:09:53

3 years前1:09:53

1:09:53

Hi there, welcome to the Theory of Pets Podcast where we uncover the truths about the pet industry! I am your host, Connor Knight! Today we are going to be looking at basic how care for a new dog and training from a veterinarian's perspective. The guest today is none other than Dr. Lyndsey Kingsley. She has been a wealth of knowledge continuously coming on the podcast and sharing what she knows with us! This episode goes on a deep dive so listen in! Here is the lay out of the questions I ask: So there are some basic guidelines for pet owners and new pet owners on how much physical and mental activity with dogs. You have trainers saying that they need mental stimulation and physical stimulation in order to be happy HOW MANY MINUTES PER DAY SHOULD DOGS BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE AND HOW MANY MINUTES SHOULD THEY BE ACTIVE MENTALLY Outside of nutrition, how much do you think mental stimulation and physical exercise plays into how long a dog can live? Let’s talk about hygiene, dogs clean themselves for the most part, in the wild they never really would get baths except for the occasional dip into a river I guess. And you know it’s funny bc people like to anthropomorphize their dogs. There’s this whole movement out there where people don’t shampoo their hair bc they believe it strips the oils from their hair, however, for dogs word has been going around that there are definitely some shampoos that cause itchy skin problems and dry skin issues. My question is how often should dogs be bathed, if at all? It sounds gross but my Dad, he’ll give his dog a bath maybe once a year. But if you smell her she doesn’t smell at all really. She maybe has had one skin issue bc she runs around outside and got bit by something, but other than that her coat is perfectly healthy. We’ve talked about nutrition before and if people want to go listen to a deep dive into nutrition go listen to podcast #128 What kind of dog food would you recommend, and if you could recommend homemade, or raw dog food and people could afford it would you recommend that over commercial dog food, and why? Now let’s move into training, this is a big topic bc it’s kind of this area where there’s these dog trainers that have no background in science for the most part BUT THEY HAVE 10, 20, 30 years in training dogs so they are considered experts. From a veterinary perspective what is the best protocol you would recommend to follow for a training program for a new dog, adult dog, and a senior dog (if needed at all) Do you think senior dogs need to be trained? I definitely do, my girlfriend she has a 17 year old dog who has some questionable habits and I try to train him, but it’s a lot of work so i don’t think im qualified to mold him like I was able to with my dog when she was a puppy How should people be going about finding the “right” training. In your opinion who are the best trainers and who should people trust What are your thoughts on balanced training (takes into both positive and negative reinforcement) similar to that of a little kid What are your thoughts on ONLY positive reinforcement training? Do you think it is as effective to only reward the dog when they do something good and never correct them when they do something bad? Okay let’s move from basic training to more behavioral training Ideally let’s say someone has a new puppy, how should they be going about introducing them to environments, other dogs, external things that might be frightening Let’s talk about dog’s that are super fearful and have a bad reaction to things There’s a type of training that talks about exposure to the thing they hate or fear Is it inhumane to continually do this if they eventually get over the fear? Veterinary Behaviorists When is it time to go from a dog trainer to a veterinarian And what should people look for when trying to find a great veterinary behaviorist When is it appropriate to opt for medication as a solution to behavioral problems What do people get wrong about opting for medication as a solution to behavioral problems like anxiety Let’s talk about CBD Everyone i know in the veterinary field dances around this topic Why is that? Have you seen any positive results from your clients using CBD for anxiety?…

TOP #130: Vet Office Appointments COULD BE DEAD, Enter Vet House Calls 52:26

3 years前52:26

52:26

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for joining me today. Today I will have Dr. Lyndsey Kingsley back on for a three-peat or four-peat? We are going to be talking about Mobile Veterinary Care, and she goes on a deep dive on Veterinary House Calls. Here are the questions and topics I cover today: So there’s this recent trend in the pet industry for house calls and mobile vet care. How did that come about? Was this how veterinary care used to be? When did BetterVet start? Who came up with the idea Why has mobile vet care become so popular? So I might not be happy with my current veterinarian, how would I find and choose a mobile veterinary care Is there anything different in standard costs? Outside of the care being done in your home, what is the difference in the quality of service? Is it more expensive? Can a mobile vet service prescribe the same treatments and prescriptions as a normal vet office? What if my dog needs something more serious like emergency attention or service? How quick is it to get them to the location they need vs bringing a dog into a vet’s office surgery How difficult is it for people that live in gated communities to have a mobile vet service come to their house? If there is an emergency, does a vet need to come through the gate to the house or does the pet owner and vet meet at a designated location for the emergency service? Tell me about telemedicine side of BetterVet Are you able to diagnose anything over zoom, or does the vet need to physically be handling the dog before any action steps are taken for treating and solving any problems with their dog So give me the run down of all the services BetterVet can provide for people Where do you see the trend going as far as mobile veterinary service as an industry How does BetterVet set itself apart from it’s competitors, since the trend is going more mobile What obstacles do you see your competitors having to overcome to outperform BetterVet? I heard through the grapevine that BetterVet is coming out with a veterinary nutrition department. Does BetterVet provide veterinary nutritionists as well?…

Today we have a special guest from Embark Vet. Her name is Jenna Dockweiler. She is a veterinary geneticist. Today we are going to be doing a deep dive on proper breeding practices. Here are some of the questions I ask: Now I see your job is a veterinary geneticist at Embark Vet What does a veterinary geneticist do and how is there some overlap with your roles and the idea of responsible breeding? And I saw that you were a board certified theriogenologist that specializes in animal reproduction, and canine rehab. Tell us a little about veterinary acupuncture. It’s quite a new topic for me. What are some of the benefits? Can you explain to me about “purebreeds” why are they so coveted if there are a lot of health problems that come with those types of dogs Can you tell me about the process of a breeder and how careful they have to be to prevent any health issues? What kind of measures do they have to take? What does it mean to be a "good breeder"? What kind of training have good breeders undergone to be considered a good breeder? What are your thoughts of rescue vs. choosing a breeder? Where are the best places to start when looking for a breeder? What are the top questions to ask when selecting a breeder? What kind of expenses should one expect to be taken care of before purchasing from a breeder? What questions should I expect a reputable breeder to ask me? How do I find out which health tests my breed needs? How much should I expect to spend? How long should I expect to wait? What should I consider if I am looking to breed my dog? I have found a breeder - how do I look into them further?…

She has worked with hundreds and thousands of domestic pets during her tenure and is very well versed in discussing vaccines. Some of the things I ask Dr. Kingsley are: How did vaccines start? Where did they originate? So why should people get their dogs vaccinated? Were there any vaccines that didn’t work or were recalled? What are core and non-core vaccines? Which vaccines are ones that all dogs should have? (core vaccines) Why? Do you recommend different vaccines for breed, age, lifestyle? Even if a breed is more prone, do you still recommend vaccine if their lifestyle limits that exposure? - Which vaccines are important for west a. Midwest b. Northeast c. Southeast What are the differences in vaccines dogs and cats should have How does their indoor or outdoor frequency change what vaccines you would recommend? Is over-vaccination a thing in dogs? Why is overvaccination happening? What can happen when a dog is over-vaccinated? Can a dog recover from being over-vaccinated? I even think my dog got one of these vaccines back to back years. Can you explain why vets continue to vaccinate yearly or even every three years if this is the case for these kinds of vaccines? What complications can come from over-vaccination? Can some vaccines cause cancer? Enjoy the podcast!…

Hi there everyone! Thank you again for tuning into this next episode of the Theory of Pets Podcast! Today I am joined by Julie Napolitano. Julie is the owner of the company Puppington! Julie started the company in 2019 and it was originally called Pup Wax. Pup Wax is a balm/moisturizer that is her original flagship product. She came up with the product formulation after being fed up with the typical general balm or moisturizer in the pet industry at the time. She talks in the podcast about how almost all of them had some harmful ingredients in the mixture. This led her to constantly doing research and studying what the best ingredients would be for making sure her dog's nose and paws were protected and moisturized. Enter Pup Wax, and since then she has recently rebranded the company into what is now known as Puppington. She has expanded her product line to chews for immunity and calming effects. Today we are going to talk about how she got started, her background, and some of the biggest lessons she learned building an e-commerce business geared towards pets from scratch!

We all think of taking a dip in the pool, or going to the beach, or having a couple of beers on the boat, or a nice summer cookout!

Believe it or not there are a host of other things that can come with summertime heat depending on where you live. And we're here to talk about them: - tools for keeping dogs cool in the heat (towels/bandanas, a cooler, pool time for dogs, ice cubes, cooling vests/collars/pads) - common pests and animals to watch out for a. what diseases can be passed and treatments - loud noises: thunder, 4th of July - water quality depending on where you live, how to let them enjoy the lake, ocean, and pool All this good info is just in time for summer!
