YFD 281: Chanel & Milo
Chanel knew Maplewood Park held fun surprises. She just didn't expect one of them to be Milo. When a curious little terrier named Chanel meets a gentle, thoughtful big dog called Milo, an unexpected friendship begins-one filled with discovery, mischief, and heart. Chanel and Milo: The Legend Begins is the first story in a growing series about two dogs who see the world differently, yet somehow understand each other perfectly. From butterfly chases to quiet moments beneath the old oak tree, this is the tale of how one small meeting-and a very big friendship-can change everything. Every great legend has a beginning... and this one starts with a wag, a smile, and a leap of faith. Join us today as we talk to Paul Davis and Julia Rosengren, the joint authors of "Chanel & Milo: The Legend Begins" about the real life dogs whose special bond inspired their adorable book.

YFD 280: StypStyx with Michael and Lisa Lisk
A mani/pedi may be relaxing for many of us, but not so much for our dogs. Anyone who has ever tried to trim a dog's toenails knows what a pain it can be- sometimes literally, when a stressed paw jerk or a mistimed clip results in a painful nail bleed. Almost as messy as said bleeds are the powders and bandages often used to clean them up, which are prone to spill and leave stains. Fortunately, there's a new solution! Former dog groomers Michael and Lisa Lisk are the developers of StypStix, the quick, easy, mess-free way to treat nail bleeds. Tune in today to learn more about how it works and why vets are raving about it! For show notes and more (including our merch!) please go to Your Family Dog.

YFD 279: City Smart with Melissa McCue-McGrath
Many of us love the hustle and bustle of city life, but unfortunately, our pets don't always agree. From the endless barrage of sounds and smells to unnerving experiences like riding elevators, urban environments often present unique challenges to dogs and their owners. However, this doesn't mean you and Fido have to ditch the city and head for the hills! With a little patience and some good training, there are all kinds of things you can do to help your pup thrive in an urban setting. Dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath returns to the show today to share tips and tricks for city living with dogs. For show notes and more, please go to Your Family Dog.

278: Veterinary First Responders with Dr. Leigh Mack
When we think of "first responders," our minds naturally go first to firefighters, police officers, and EMTs and the valuable work they do for people in emergencies. What we tend to overlook, however, is that animals are often involved in emergency situations as well- who cares for them? Enter Dr. Leigh Mack himself a firefighter and EMT as well as the founder of the First Responders' Veterinary Network. FRVN was established to address critical gaps in managing animal-centric emergencies. Drawing from his tenure at the South Carolina State Guard and two fire departments, Dr. Mack developed an scalable operational model for the field. The concept emerged from frontline encounters where animals hindered life-saving care, revealing a vital need for a network of volunteer veterinarians to treat injured animals and to help maintain scene safety. Dr. Mack joined the podcast today to talk about his work, and how you can get involved. For show notes and more, please go to Your Family Dog.

YFD 276: ReadyRescue with Dr. Mat Glassman
We've all experienced the sudden panic that comes with realizing our dog ate something they weren't supposed to- chocolate, raisins, Aunt Gertrude's blood pressure medication. And with that panic comes a flood of questions- how much did he eat? How long ago? Should I try to make him vomit? Do I call the vet first or just go right to emergency care? What if I do something wrong and make it worse? Dr. Mat Glassman wants to help alleviate some of that panic by providing pet owners with veterinary-approved home remedies that they can use quickly and easily in an emergency situation. First up is ReadyRescue, an activated carbon solution designed to bind to ingested toxins and remove them quickly and safely from the body. Tune in to learn about this and other emergency pet care you can provide at home. For show notes and more (including our new merch!), please go to Your Family Dog.

YFD 275: Eight-Legged Freaks with Shamekia Wray
Welcome back to Your Family...Tarantula? That's right- in today's Very Unusual Episode, we're joined by Shamekia Wray, a former arachnophobe who now shares her home with 50+ pet spiders (and some bearded dragons as well). Most of us feel a definite sense of ick when confronted with an eight-legged creepy crawly, but these low-maintenance (and suprisingly colorful!) animals can actually make ideal pets, particularly for kids who want an animal companion but aren't ready for the intensity of a dog. Tune in to learn about Shamekia's journey from arachnophobe to arachnofiend and find out how much there is to appreciate about these leggy little beasts.
