Would Sparky benefit from some cannabis?Dr. Carol Osborne sees cannabis products being used for pets just as they are used for humans. It can stimulate or numb receptors for different situations. Dr. Osborne notes that cannabis isn’t approved for animal use by a veterinary authority, but that doesn’t stop holistic practitioners and pet parents from using CBD products on their pets.  Since the products aren’t regulated, there’s no telling what exactly is in the vial, capsule or biscuit. Trying multiple brands may be necessary to get the desired result in your pet. The concentration may vary. While there are no published studies of cannabis killing a pet, Dr. Osborne suggests starting with a very low dose and increasing the dosage in small increments. Listen as Dr. Osborn joins Dr. Bond to discuss the ins and outs of cannabis for canines and kitties.

Adding a pet or two to your household can improve your quality of life.Pets are amazing companions that can provide numerous health benefits.

Calmness and relaxation encompasses you. They even have the ability to reduce depression. Knowing you get to come home to a loving critter can carry you through rough days. The responsibility associated with a pet gives you purpose. Feeding, walking, playtime and training keep you engaged and mindful. Fifteen percent of surviving spouses live longer if they have a pet. There’s still someone to share life with after the loss. Dogs are fantastic service animals. They can detect a drop in blood sugar immediately. They can also detect seizures. Know someone who is afraid of having a pet? It’s best to introduce them to small animals like puppies and kittens. You may hesitate to get a pet because you’re concerned about leaving the pet home alone.

The stories in this October 2015 release offer funny and heart-touching, true-life experiences that convey loving connections, amazing rescues, and healing with (and by) animals — both wild and domestic. Stories tell of remarkable relationships with animals and moments of connection and healing observed in others. With Bernie’s guidance, readers get a bird’s-eye view of these happenings, including how animals enrich lives, give hope, teach lessons to live by, increase a sense of gratitude, help humans (or another animal) survive, and connect us all to the miracle of creation. Dr. Carol Francis, Psychologist, Marriage, Family and Child Therapist and Hypnotherapist in the Los Angeles Beach Cities area enthusiastically embraces the wisdom, research and fundamental therapy offered by Dr. Bernie Siegel in this program.  Pick up his book, and be cheered and informed about you and your animal friends. 

Halloween can be fun and exciting for you and your children, but can cause stress and anxiety for your pets.Halloween can be a fun and exciting time for your family. You may also think to include your cat or dog in the Halloween dress-up and trick-or-treat rituals. Or, if you're in charge of candy distribution this year, you may think strangers in costumes constantly ringing the doorbell won't be a problem for your companion.However, without following safety precautions, your playful Halloween night could turn into a real-life nightmare with your pet seriously injured or sick.What specific candies are especially dangerous to your pets?When it comes to candy, you don't necessarily have to worry about your cat as much as you do your dog.

Your dog doesn't have the ability (or the patience) to tear open each candy and will just eat the whole thing.What if you're passing out candy... should you allow your pet near the front door?Cats and dogs who are prone to noise sensitivity might want to become escape artists this Halloween and bolt out your front door to escape the constant ringing of your doorbell and loud kids shouting at your door. Because of this, you may want to consider keeping your cat and dog away from the front door. Putting up baby gates in your hallway or keeping your pets in a separate room can help ease anxiety, excitement and from them wanting to make a run for it.What if you want to take your pet with you outside for trick-or-treating?Before you decide to bring your dog on the walk with you and your children while trick-or-treating, you have to be sure you know your dog. Not only do you have to worry about the cars in the street, you have to consider the large groups of children, pre-teens, and other parents who may frighten or induce anxiety in your dog. This may cause your dog to nibble or bite someone.What about pet costumes?If you're dressing your pet up, be sure that the costume is fitted properly without any loose articles that your pet can get tangled in, or on too tight that they could potentially have trouble walking or choke on.What else do you need to know about pet safety during Halloween?Emmy Award winning veterinarian, Dr. Jeff Werber, shares with Melanie Cole, MS, important safety precautions for your pets during Halloween.
