What do we do when a service isn't working anymore—but we don't want to lose the revenue or the client? In this episode, we walk through how converting clients is leadership, not upselling, and why adding or changing a service isn't a failure. We break down two conversion scenarios: when the service is a poor fit for the pet/client, and when it's a poor fit for the business. We share practical strategies for leading with friction points, using observational authority, and making the transition feel low-risk through trials and clear replacement paths. We also talk about the reality that some clients will leave—and why staying aligned with your standards matters more than keeping every dollar. Main topics: Conversion as business leadership Fit for pet vs. business Solve friction, not sell Trials and switching costs Ending services with clarity Main takeaway: "Converting clients isn't about squeezing more out of them. It's about staying aligned as their life and your business changes." Converting a client to a new service isn't a sales move—it's a leadership move. Sometimes the most professional thing we can do is admit: the old way isn't the best way anymore. Pets change, schedules change, businesses change, and great care has to keep up. If we lead with the problem (the friction), it feels like care—not a pitch. And if a client decides not to come along, that doesn't mean we failed—it means we stayed aligned with the standard of care we believe in. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

We're joined by Blue Cross Vet, Paul Manktelow, talking about how to keep your dog safe this Christmas.  We chat about why despite being super vigilant, every year many dogs become a veterinary statistic. It's estimated that 10 per cent of Britain's dogs see a vet over the festive season.  Paul highlights the main toxic foods from raisins, dark ‘posh' chocolate, poinsettias, decorations, wrapping paper, sellotape, cooked turkey bones, and onions, not to mention the stresses  of visitors and over excitement if your dog isn't used to busy households.  Christmas is hard to imagine from a dog's point of view with their olfaction and hearing so much more acute than ours.  Paul talks through how best to avoid your dog as a  natural born scavenger and opportunist becoming a veterinary statistic this Christmas.

What happens when saving a beloved pet's life comes down to money?In this bold episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, I sit down with Adam Spencer, CFRE, founder of Furlanthropy, to confront one of the most uncomfortable conversations in veterinary medicine today: the rising cost of life-saving care and the emotional toll it takes on pet parents and veterinarians. We pull back the curtain on what veterinary teams face when clients can't afford treatment—and why this reality is breaking hearts on both sides of the exam room.Adam also challenges the way we think about giving. What if helping animals didn't have to look like writing a check? From donating stock to using cryptocurrency, Furlanthropy is redefining how generosity works in a modern world—and making critical care possible for families who would otherwise have no options.This episode is a must-listen for pet lovers, animal advocates, and anyone willing to question the system—and believe compassion can still win.Follow Furlanthropy on Social Media: @furlanthropyhttps://furlanthropy.org/#Furlanthropy #crypto #pets #charity #501c3 #fundraising  #AnimalWelfare  #Podcast #PetParents #veterinarian #dog #cat #Podcast #compassionfatigueHave more questions for Maria?

After Max and Kayli crossed the Rainbow Bridge, Nicole experienced moments that challenged everything we assume about life, death, and the limits of love. Subtle signs. Powerful encounters.

With the holidays at full throttle, we thought it timely to revisit this episode on pet obesity. Pets often gain weight in winter because shorter days lead to less activity (fewer walks, more naps.) Owners might give more treats, while their pet's metabolism slows to conserve energy, creating an "extra pounds" scenario. It's crucial for owners to manage food intake and keep their dogs and cats active to prevent unhealthy gain. In 2018, obesity, along with dental issues and osteoarthritis, was put on the list as a major health concern. So yes, obesity is indeed a big problem!Excerpt from original show notes:Is Rover looking a little heavier than usual? Have you found yourself dipping into the treat jar more often? Turns out that keeping your pet trim is directly correlated with quality and length of life.  The equation for consistent weight is simple and familiar: calories in = calories out. But there are a host of items that can upset this balance. Listen to Cathy and Chris discuss factors leading to obesity, from breed disposition to diseases to lifestyle to medications. The plethora of life-threatening issues that obesity contributes to is shocking, ranging from breathing difficulties to increased risk of cancer. This episode is intended to inform, not shame.

We learn about the Selena documentary, and the life, career, and death of the Tejano singer, who was killed by a disgruntled employee. We find out the evolutionary advantage of kissing, which animals do it, how scientists define "kissing," and why it actually could protect us from harm. Susie explains why raccoons might become the next domesticated animals, why they seem to be ushering in their pet era, and why experts are convinced it's inevitable. We discuss the new female test dummy (or smartie as Susie calls her), and why it took so long to get it made, why people still aren't happy, and why it's so expensive to make. We're mad at the Guinness World Book of Records again because of their evolving business model and the schemes they're using to make bank. And Susie talks about the Stiller and Meara documentary, about the comedy duo and their famous son, Ben Stiller, and why despite their fame, they're more relatable than you'd think.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGo to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for up to 20% off!Get $35 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by going to https://auraframes.com and using promo code BRAINCANDY at checkout.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Pat asks Glenn about travelling around Australia to work with Pet Resorts Australia teams on the floor. The focus is showing staff how to read dog behaviour in real time, so social boarding and daycare stay safe, structured, and enjoyable. We discuss how to set sessions up well, how to brief simple rules, and how to notice the early signs that a group needs a reset. We cover practical ideas staff can apply immediately. For example, start with a calm entry, match energy levels, and use short check-ins to keep arousal steady. Then, read the small signals that precede problems, such as fixed stares, speeding up, stillness, or crowding. If you see them, you can redirect, split, or take a short break before tension grows. Finally, record what mattered so the next shift benefits from the same clarity. It is a straightforward conversation about staff confidence, safer choices, and keeping the experience good for dogs and people.

When Kayla was sixteen, moving into an old Arkansas farmhouse felt like stepping into a quiet, simple life—high on a hill, wrapped in a porch, with a stream running beside it. But it didn't take long to realize the house had a life of its own. What began as melodic whistling no one could trace soon escalated into cabinet doors slamming on their own, nighttime knocks on windows, and the unsettling sense that something unseen was moving through the rooms. The experiences didn't belong to Kayla alone. Friends witnessed them. Pets reacted to them. And one night, Kayla and a friend saw something in the backyard neither could rationalize—a small, fast, troll-like figure that left them scrambling backward in fear. Decades later, the memories remain as vivid as ever. #HauntedFarmhouse #ArkansasHaunting #RealGhostStories #ParanormalExperiences #UnexplainedEncounters #BackyardApparition #HauntedLife #GhostlyWhistling #ParanormalPodcast #SpiritActivity #TrueHaunting  Love real ghost stories?

In this episode, Dr. Josie and Bobby dive into the wild world of modern vet medicine, including a real story of a client who paid $50,000 to clone their dog, how cloning actually works, and whether the “new” dog ever really feels like the same one. They also get into bulldog issues, dogs that eat poop, and why mutts might secretly be the best dogs on the planet.Josie opens up about the hardest part of being a vet—helping families put their pets down and she and Bobby talk through what that process really looks like. Why being that sad usually means you had an incredible run with that dog. She also shares why she left the hospital grind, moved to Nashville, and started a concierge vet practice, along with some of the strangest cases and stories from the job, including horse skin grafts, hotel horror stories, and working with celebrity clients.
