Podcasts about pet care

“They're not homeless. They know exactly where their home is, and they've chosen to be there. We're literally returning them home—vaccinated and spayed—so it's a win for the cat, the shelter, and the neighborhood.” - Karen Little This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this special on-location episode of the Community Cats Podcast, Stacy LeBaron brings you to the bustling Humane World for Animals Expo in Las Vegas for a candid, practical conversation on the future of Return-to-Field (RTF) and community cats. Joined by Karen Little of Alley Cat Advocates and Bryan Kortis of Neighborhood Cats, this episode breaks down what RTF really means, why it remains one of the field's most pressing challenges, and how shelters of all sizes can adapt best practices while navigating real-world limitations. Karen and Bryan, each with decades of frontline TNR and shelter collaboration experience, explore the tension between “gold standard” individual cat assessments and the operational realities of crowded shelters. They emphasize the importance of gathering quality intake information, partnering with communities, and maintaining flexibility during kitten seasons, all while ensuring the welfare of cats remains central. The episode also unpacks the misconceptions around RTF, the critical difference between TNR and RTF, and the complexities of assessing “friendly” cats in the shelter environment. Whether you're a large urban shelter manager or a small grassroots TNR organizer, this conversation will leave you with a clearer, practical understanding of how RTF can reduce euthanasia, manage overpopulation, and align with your community's needs. Tune in for insights, humor, and a real-time feel of Expo energy as you learn actionable strategies to strengthen your community cat programs and advocate effectively for cats wherever you are.

The petcare industry is booming in India. A Redseer report from last year said that pet ownership in India is growing at a rate of 4-5% right now. In 2019, 26 million Indian households had pets. That number ballooned in just five years; in 2024, 32 million households had pets. At the same time, the pet care market is also growing by 18-20%.It's one thing to spend on your pets, but Indian pet parents don't stop there. They're choosing to buy premium products for their pets too. Think: 10,000 rupees worth hypoallergenic beds, and costly organic, free-range chicken and duck pet food, air dried snacks and treats. In the latest episode of The Signal Daily, we'll hear from consumers and petcare professionals about this trend toward premiumisation in the petcare industry in India. Why are so many willing to shell out bank for their pooches? Will more pet owners across the country transition into being such quote “pawrents”? Episode about Pet-friendly hotels: https://www.thecore.in/podcasts/how-friendly-are-pet-friendly-hotels-836180The Core and The Signal Daily are ad supported and FREE for all readers and listeners.

Today's episode is a must-listen for any veterinary practice manager considering a transition to a new practice management software system. Joining the podcast to help us take this on is Heidi Traylor from Covina Animal Hospital. Heidi is a seasoned CVPM and PHR and talks all about her practice's journey in selecting and implementing a new PIMS. Heidi shares the pivotal moment that pushed her team to finally make the switch - when their aging, on-premise system could no longer keep up with their changing needs and the speed of their operations. Heidi and her leadership team evaluated their options, creating a scorecard to assess each system's capabilities against their requirements. Heidi stresses the critical role of her frontline team in the selection process. By taking their feedback on what they loved and hated about the current system, Heidi was able to ensure the new PIMS would truly meet the needs of the users, and she didn't stop there either; she empowered a "technology team" of staff volunteers to test-drive the finalists, providing invaluable hands-on feedback! Of course, no software transition is without its challenges, and Heidi openly reflects on the struggles that Covina faced with training the entire staff. Her advice is to be incredibly patient, provide multiple learning modalities, and don't be afraid to lean on your vendor's onboarding support. Most importantly, though, she highlights the importance of giving the team ample time to adjust before going live. If you're contemplating a PIMS change in your own practice, then you definitely will not want to miss Heidi's wisdom in this episode, so grab a pen and paper because you're going to want to take notes, and enjoy our conversation with Heidi Traylor!

[4:58] - To guide selection for a new system, the leadership team carefully curated staff feedback on Infinity. [7:53] - Hear how a detailed, color-coded spreadsheet helped eliminate unfit options and spotlight top contenders. [10:08] - Heidi reveals that, despite some initial nerves, her staff welcomed the change and felt empowered by being included. [12:00] - Jill reflects on team enthusiasm having grown knowing that their feedback would affect the outcome. [14:54] - Heidi reveals that they ended up going with Digitail, and she describes what she loves about it. [16:11] - Heidi reveals that there were some who resisted the change at first, but leadership stayed supportive and aware of growing pains. [18:49] - Preparation took place for about a year and included demos, SOP creation, and training. [21:10] - We learn that training 35+ staff proved to be the biggest challenge. [23:59] - Heidi advises informing clients of software changes early to set expectations and highlight long-term benefits. [25:07] - Be patient with your team while adopting new software, and centralize documentation for smoother transitions. [27:41] - It's important to support staff through change with empathy, preparation, and access to resources.   Thank you for listening. Remember you are not in this alone.

What happens when dog training meets pet sitting? Ines McNeil, APDT Chair, dives into how the pet care industry can benefit from cross-disciplinary collaboration. She explores innovative training methods, shared challenges, and evolving client expectations. Her conversation also highlights the impact of emerging regulations on pet care practices. Ultimately, she showcases how working together can transform care for both pets and their owners. Main Topics: Bridging Pet Training and Sitting Navigating Industry Legislation Challenges Innovative Dog Training Techniques Building Collaborative Pet Networks Enhancing Client and Dog Care Main Takeaway: “The more dog owners become educated, the more we can clarify which certifications really matter for a professional.” – Ines McNeil In today's pet care landscape, when owners take the time to understand the value behind each certification, they become empowered to choose the best professionals for their furry family members. This increased knowledge helps cut through marketing hype and highlights trainers who are truly committed to quality care. Educated pet owners spark a demand for transparency and high standards, which benefits the entire industry. By fostering a community of informed decision-makers, we create an environment where excellence is recognized and rewarded, ultimately improving the lives of both pets and their families. About our guest: Ines McNeil, B.S. Biology, CPDT-KA, is a dog training industry expert with over 17 years of experience. She has operated dog training businesses in Texas and New York state in addition to working for a multitude of organizations as a professional dog trainer teaching group classes, private in-home lessons, and providing board and train services. She was an early adopter of virtual dog training back in 2014 and helped hundreds to trainers make the leap to virtual training at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. In October 2014, she founded The Modern Dog Trainer, an industry-leading coaching company dedicated to mentoring dog trainers on the business side of their craft. Her mission is to ensure every community has access to skilled, modern dog trainers by empowering trainers to build successful businesses. She believes that when dog trainers thrive, more dogs get the help they need, and talented trainers gain the resources to make a greater impact. Her work for the APDT-I is an extension of this deeply personal mission. Outside of work, Ines is a mom to a talented and curious 6 yr old. She also shares her home and life with her husband, a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, a rescue Chihuahua, and a rescue cat named Kiwi ("Kitty" in toddler speak).

Is the system broken… or is it doing exactly what it was designed to do — control us?

Originally loaded May 9, reedited June 13th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Greg & Maria Longe, Franchisers with Phoenix Franchise Brands, Livonia, MI. 1. Greg and Maria, can you start by giving us an overview of Phoenix Franchise Brands and what inspired you to build a multi-brand franchising company based right here in Michigan? 2. You recently expanded your portfolio with the acquisition of Worried Bird Window Washing and Steel Coated Epoxy Floors. What made these two brands a strategic fit for your growth vision? 3. Phoenix Franchise Brands supports more than 150 franchise owners across the country. What do you think sets your approach apart from other franchisors in the home services and pet care industries? 4. As you bring franchise development operations in-house, how does your Michigan headquarters play a role in supporting franchisees nationwide—and in attracting entrepreneurial talent locally? 5. Michigan has always been home for your company. How has being based here influenced your values, growth strategy, or connection to the communities you serve? 6. Looking ahead, what excites you most about the future of Phoenix Franchise Brands—and how do you envision continuing to grow and invest from your Michigan base? Greg and Maria Longe—co-founders of Phoenix Franchise Brands based in Livonia, a rapidly growing franchisor behind a thriving portfolio of brands including Fetch! Pet Care, Furry Land Mobile Grooming, and Spray Foam Genie. They support a network of more than 150 franchise owners across the country. What sets Greg and Maria apart is their deliberately hands-on, values-driven approach to growth.

This week, Jason is joined by  veterinarian, entrepreneur, and podcast host, Dr. Josie Horchak! Josie has over 15 years of experience in the vet field and is a renowned vet for the exceptional care she provides her patients. Most recently, Dr. Josie stepped away from owning her own clinics to focus on providing quality concierge vet services to a smaller group of clients in Nashville with her company, The Concierge Vet. With this company, she offers at-home wellness and sick visits, telemedicine consults, and more, all at the comfort of the patient's home. In addition to work as a vet, Dr. Josie added podcast host to her resume when she started In The Vet's Office.  Dr. Josie opens up about her journey through the demanding world of veterinary medicine—from the years of schooling and financial investment it requires, to the lesser-known pay gap between vets and human doctors. She breaks down the typical career path in the field, the emotional and physical toll it can take, and what truly drives someone to choose this profession. Dr. Josie also shares what every pet owner should understand before stepping into a clinic, the difference between owning a practice and working in one, and how she built her own concierge-style pet care model. She discusses turning her anxiety into a strength, why pet insurance is a must from day one, and the overlooked importance of dental health in animals. Plus, she offers heartfelt advice on navigating tough end-of-life decisions for pets and answers listener questions on all things furry and four-legged from the Money Mafia community.

How can a centuries-old art supply company teach us about running a pet care business? This episode draws lessons from La Maison du Pastel in Paris, a 300-year-old handcrafted pastel maker, to explore what it means to build a business rooted in quality and culture. It highlights the importance of prioritizing craft over scale, using thoughtful service offerings to meet specific client needs, and collaborating with clients to create personalized care. The conversation also emphasizes the power of storytelling in marketing and preserving company culture through growth and change. You'll walk away inspired to build a business that's small, intentional, and deeply connected to its clients. Main Topics Craft over scale in pet care Designing services for specific client needs Collaborating with clients for personalized care Storytelling as a marketing tool Preserving business culture through growth Main Takeaway: Our systems and automations should support our care, not replace our presence. In an increasingly digital world, it's easy to lean on automation—but pet care is about connection. Technology should free us to be more present, not less. No app or email can replace the power of a kind word, a gentle touch, or an observant sitter who notices what a pet needs. Stay grounded in the heart of what makes your business special: genuine, hands-on care. That's what clients remember—and why they come back.

In Part 1 of this recorded webinar, "From the Backyard to the Front Page: Building a TNR Movement," Bryan Kortis, National Programs Director for Neighborhood Cats, presents a compelling behind-the-scenes look at how one of the nation's most impactful TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts got started.

How do you offer truly personalized pet care? From daily routines to unique quirks, pets need more than just a one-size-fits-all approach. As professional pet sitters, we're responsible for tailoring our care to each pet's needs—and clearly communicating that value to clients and team members. We break down how to gather the right information, implement scalable personalization, and build client trust through intentional care. We share practical ways to make visits more meaningful without overcomplicating your systems or burning out your staff.  Main Topics What personalization really means Gathering better intake info Creating scalable SOPs Communicating with clients and team Recognizing and adapting to change Main takeaway: “This whole thing—personalization—isn't about perfection. It's really about intention.” Personalized pet care isn't about getting every single detail perfect. It's about showing up with thoughtfulness, curiosity, and a desire to do what's best for that individual pet. When we take time to notice their favorite toy, adjust our pace for their energy level, or suggest changes to better meet their needs, we're building trust. Clients don't expect you to be flawless—they want to know that you're paying attention and that their pet matters to you. You don't have to overhaul your entire process—just start with one small, intentional step. That's what sets great care apart. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

What does the future of pet sitting and dog walking look like in a rapidly evolving industry? Collin sits down with four industry leaders—Morgan Weber, Doug Keeling, Michelle Kline, and Daniel Reitman—to talk about the changing landscape of pet care. They explore the challenges of economic uncertainty, competition with tech-driven platforms, and the impact of private equity entering the industry. The conversation highlights the importance of balancing automation with personal relationships, professionalizing businesses, and maintaining strong core values. Ultimately, they all agree that the next 30 years of the industry will be shaped by how pet sitters and dog walkers step up today. Main Topics: Economic uncertainty and industry growth Technology and automation integration Raising professionalism standards Burnout prevention and healthy boundaries Private equity, mergers, and acquisitions Main Takeaways: Michelle Kline “The quickest way to undercut your value is to try to be everything to everyone.” It's tempting to say yes to every client request and to try and be the perfect fit for every pet owner out there. But the truth is, trying to be everything to everyone will drain your time, energy, and resources — and ultimately dilute what makes your business special. The most successful pet care businesses are the ones that know who they are, who they serve best, and what value they bring to that specific group. When you know your ideal client, your marketing gets easier, your systems become clearer, and your value skyrockets. Don't chase everyone. Focus on your people — and serve them exceptionally well. Morgan Weber “Success as a business owner is not tied to your level of burnout or sacrifice.” Let's get one thing clear — burnout is not a badge of honor. In the pet care industry, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the longer you work, the more you sacrifice your personal time, the more successful you are. But real success comes when you build a sustainable business that supports your life — not one that consumes it. You can care deeply for your clients and their pets without sacrificing your health, your family time, or your joy. Boundaries are professional, rest is productive, and saying no is sometimes the best thing you can do for your business. Doug Keeling “We can use technology and automation to enhance relationships — not replace them.” Technology is changing the pet care industry — fast. But the goal isn't to replace human connection with automation. Instead, smart pet sitters are using technology to enhance the client experience. Whether it's using AI to brainstorm gift ideas for clients, automating appointment confirmations, or streamlining admin work so you have more time for personal touches — technology should make your relationships stronger, not weaker. The future of pet care is a mix of high-tech and high-touch, and the businesses that figure out how to balance both will thrive. Daniel Reitman “We're not in the pet care business, we're in the peace of mind business.” At the end of the day, pet parents don't hire you just to feed their pets or take them for a walk. They hire you for the peace of mind that comes with knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for — even when they can't be there. When you focus on delivering peace of mind, you stop competing on price and start building unshakable trust. Peace of mind is the product, and exceptional care is how you deliver it. Every visit, every report, every communication is a chance to show your clients they can breathe easy knowing you're there.
