Two interviews. Yes, two! First, Doctor Mark Williams discusses diarrhea and such, fun? Maybe not. Useful? We think so! Vomiting and diarrhea in our pets can cause a lot of concern, but often treatment can be simple and done at home. Find out a lot you might not know, including some home treatments, in our interview with Dr. Williams. Then we bring in Mike Ryan, the man with two first names AND a big heart for dogs. Mike is a retired school teacher living in Apple Valley, California. Recently he has been teaming up with rescue queen Faith Easdale, and putting the knowledge she has to great use. For example, he recently trapped and rescued a fabulous dog named Clark, and we talk about it! Join us :-)Have we prepared to the level these great guests deserve? No. Do we take the production values of the podcast seriously enough? Also no. But, is it worth a listen? Eh....... maybe.
