Sarah&Abby's Vegan Adventures! We met six years ago in college when we decided to be roommates because we were both vegan! We've been inseparable ever since! We have been talking about making a podcast for awhile b/c we have a lot to say and most of our friends/family are tired of hearing us talk, which we don't quite understand, b/c we think we're hilarious. Most of our videos will feature a different animal rights related issue or just animal welfare in general. We want to provide the general public with some valuable, yet infrequently distributed, information, in a fun and creative way. Both of us have been vegan and animal advocates for awhile. (Sarah) is a certified dog trainer through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and is almost finished with her Fear Free Training certification. (Abby) is involved with animal activism in her area where she participates in local protests. We hope to open an animal sanctuary together or become professional podcasters.
We talk about some upsetting things in dog ownership and Abby's mom joins as a special guest!
What really grinds our gears...pretentious dog owners!
Petco has committed to #stoptheshock but when will it commit to its small animal care? We interview a former Petco employee who shared the horrors of buying animals from pet stores.
do you want to cure the dog or the behavior? by Sarah&Abby
You don't have to walk your dog! by Sarah&Abby
"John" talks about working at Petsmart...the bad, the ugly, the worse. John works with the animals and gives us a behind the scenes look at where that cute little hamster came from and what goes into its care at the store before you bring it home.
Sarah & Abby read reddit posts and respond to pet parents who support dog breeding.
All about dog breeding! We interview three people who bought their dogs from breeders and ask what they would do differently, if anything, next time. We also talk to a breeder to get the inside scoop and you know, widen our perspective. Bottom line: fall in love with the dog and not the breed.
Ever feel like when you talk, you're the only one listening? Or like no one takes you seriously? mhm, relatable
You decided you wanted to hear about Seaworld and how it SUCKED so we delivered for Episode 9. The audio is pretty bad in some spots because we were traveling to an adoption so apologies in advance. We will do better! But yeah Seaworld sucks and never go there again. Also RIP Tilly
