Your Hard Earned Contribution to the AHA: Did you know the phrase "No animals were harmed®" isn't free for anyone to use.   A lot of feathers get ruffled when a Denver organization flexes its litigious arm after the common vernacular becomes a trademark infringement.  Have you ever known anyone so passionate for the 'cause' that they actually do harm? Some animal groups, like PETA, are widely discounted by animal lovers because their message isn't shared by the furry-hearted. - Should My Dog Have Supplements?: With the barrage of new supplements making enormous claims, it's no wonder that Animal Radio® listener-lines ring non-stop with confusion and questions. The bottom line is - if you're meeting your pet's nutritional value in their basic diet, then a healthy dog or cat doesn't need additional nutrients.  And if your pet isn't healthy, supplements may be just a Band-Aid™. For your friends health, you need to figure out what the underlying problem really is. - First Words: The language you teach your parakeet today will live on for decades, perhaps centuries. Even after humans are extinct, birds will still carry what humans taught them. So think carefully about what your birdie hears ...and don't leave Howard Stern on in the background when you go out. - Smell My Fear: We know dogs have a pretty acute sense of smell. Vinnie Penn is really upset that his friend told his daughter that they can smell fear. "Really dad....they know I'm scared?" Now the poor girl won't have anything to do with canines. The introduction becomes very important. We're rethinking how our children interact with animals. More at AnimalRadio.com.

Dr. Jim Humphries explains the migration of technology from humans to pets. Stray voltage hurts more animals than you think. From electrified lampposts to charged manhole covers, many companion animals come in contact - and some are even killed. Blair Sorrel has made it her mission to stop these accidental electrocutions with her website "StreetZaps." Why is Vinnie Penn so concerned about his dog's clothing? No, just because you dress you pet to in clothes that would make Liberace proud doesn't mean the dog is gay. "Hey, you're the one that dressed him." The elderly need help taking care of their pets. As seniors age, they are unable to handle the day to day tasks of caring for their favorite, and sometimes only friend. Many organizations have been formed to help feed the senior's pets. Some even assist with dog-walking. But more is needed for these animals and their guardians. More at AnimalRadio.com.
