Podcasts about pet care

“Whether it's a pet cat, a feral cat, or a wildcat—they all deserve care and respect. TNVR isn't just about controlling populations; it's about preserving a legacy.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this compelling episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron speaks with Lara Semple, field team member of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's “Saving Wildcats” project. Based at the Highland Wildlife Park, this initiative is leading the charge in restoring the critically endangered European wildcat to the Scottish Highlands. Lara shares her lifelong passion for feline welfare, tracing her journey from growing up in a boarding cattery to spearheading cutting-edge conservation work. She dives into the complexities of hybridization between wild and domestic cats, the challenges of reintroducing a species on the brink of extinction, and how their team uses GPS collars, soft-release techniques, and intensive field monitoring to give wildcats a fighting chance. Listeners will also learn how TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) practices are strategically used to prevent genetic dilution from domestic cats, a major threat to wildcat survival. Lara explains the licensing hurdles, community outreach, and behavioral assessments involved in identifying and managing feral cat populations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in conservation, community cat management, and the delicate dance of coexistence between humans and wildlife. It's an inspiring look at science, compassion, and collaboration at work in one of the UK's most rugged and breathtaking landscapes.

In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent sits down with Victor Carpio, the innovative founder of Inventor Smart Care, to discuss how a passion for solving a common pet health problem led to the creation of a world-first product: the Dental Wand – a toothbrush designed specifically to let cats control their own dental care. Victor shares the journey of launching a startup in a niche but high-potential market, including the challenges of developing a product for animals, bootstrapping through multiple prototypes, and preparing for national TV exposure on Dragons' Den. He also dives into the mindset shifts required for scaling – from selling directly to consumers to forging B2B partnerships and managing growing logistics demands. This episode is a treasure trove for product inventors, early-stage entrepreneurs, and anyone fascinated by the mechanics of turning a big idea into a real-world solution. Highlights From This Episode: Inventing With Purpose: Why Victor focused on solving a real health issue affecting 85% of UK cats, and why understanding your “why” is more important than just having a patent. From Cat Behaviour to Product Design: The surprisingly complex R&D behind the Dental Wand and how AI and 3D printing could help future inventors save time and money. Scaling Smartly: Transitioning from D2C to B2B, the growing pains of supply chain management, and the critical importance of not being reliant on a single supplier. The Dragons' Den Effect: What happened when Victor pitched to the Dragons, and why the real win wasn't the investment offer, but the brand exposure. Customer Insights: How deep psychographic understanding and a sophisticated email nurturing system helped Victor acquire customers for less than £5.

“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!

DESCRIPTION For this episode, Jo & Vicky are joined by veterinary behaviourist Dr. Katrin Jahn, who has 25+ years of veterinary experience and heads up Trinity Veterinary Behaviour in the UAE. Katrin shares her entrepreneurial journey including running a veterinary clinic in Abu Dhabi, creating an online educational platform that breaks down professional barriers, supports vets across the world and empowers them to serve pets and their owners better.  They discuss the importance of collaboration between veterinary professionals and dog trainers. The episode explores entrepreneurship, professional growth, and the power of having a clear mission in the pet care industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Often behaviour and pain are intertwined. A dog that is in pain, not sleeping well, or with cognitive issues or anxiety cannot respond to training in the same way a healthy dog does. For trainers, being able to speak to and learn from a certified veterinary behaviourist or the animal's vet when they are struggling is transformative. If you notice something odd about the way an animal moves or behaves while being trained, groomed or cared for by you encourage the owner to take them to the vet. Support the owner and vet by precisely and concisely explaining what you have noticed.  Being surrounded by people who are working towards building their own business has a hugely positive impact. Katrin has worked with mentors at various stages to take her business forward. Having a coach gets you off the hamster wheel, enables you to see opportunities and create the life you really love. Note and examine every idea you have, even the off the wall ones, Katrin did and created an amazing new vet business model. BEST MOMENTS “Once you've worked that way (collaboratively), you almost think like, ‘Oh my God, why does everybody not work like this? .” “A lot of vets don't know enough about what trainers and behaviourists do.” “Being a little bit more kind of data oriented and trying to give precise information that the vet can then do something with helps.” “If your inner self isn't right, you can have the best strategy in the world, and it's not going to get you anywhere.” “I think (having a mentor) is almost a must have if you're wanting to create a business that's actually going to serve the clients you want to serve, but also serve you and make you happy.

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).

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.

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!

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Ineke Meredith, a dynamic individual whose career has spanned from being a human surgeon to a trailblazing entrepreneur in the pet care industry. Listen in as Ineke shares her fascinating journey, starting as a general surgeon with a specialty in breast cancer, breast reconstruction, and trauma. Her medical training took her across the globe, from New Zealand to Australia, Europe, and the UK, where she experienced the profound fulfillment of saving lives. Transitioning into entrepreneurship, Ineke was inspired by her dog's battle with dermatitis to create effective skincare solutions for canines, thus founding a company that addresses this common issue. Her story is a testament to her commitment to improving the lives of both humans and animals. We also explore the contrasts between the structured, high-stakes world of medicine and the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship. Ineke reflects on her journey in launching her company, Fur Love, which offers pet products available internationally. Her experiences in the medical field also unexpectedly led her to authorship, with a book published by Harper Collins that has touched individuals worldwide. This episode highlights the importance of maintaining perspective, appreciating health, and recognizing the humanity of patients amid the challenges of both medicine and business.   Connect with Ineke:Instagram: @ineke.meredith LinkedIn: Dr Ineke Meredith Let's keep the conversation going!Website: www.martaspirk.com Instagram: @martaspirk Facebook: Marta Spirk Want to be my next guest on The Empowered Woman Podcast?
