Susan talks to Tracie about about how the arc of the canine film star's life and legend spans the history of dogs in our world, from war time to dog shows and how our "modern" understanding of the canine-human bond has actually been around a very long time; Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkins joins Tracie to explain how the pheromone products Feliway for cats and D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) work on our pets' emotional equilibrium and the inestimable value to a little puppy of wearing a D.A.P. collar in the first months of adaptation away from his mother and litter; they also discuss the ethical travesty of vet-prescribed and scientifically engineered dry food that veterinarians sell for cats that 1) can cause urinary tract problems, 2) then sell a second food that is supposed to "cure" the urinary stones and crystals caused by the first food, 3) and then sell a third food intended to "cure" the second kind of urinary stones caused by the second food. And to top it off, feeding these urinary formulas of dry food to cats who do not yet have urinary crystals from dry food can actually cause the very problem, in a horrible daisy chain of unnecessary illness.

Tracie mentions a recent New York Times Style Section article which tagged three "must have" fall clothing items, one of which was a braided fur jacket, which she suggests is something we all must not have in our wardrobe because of the ghastly consequences to the animals who gave up that fur; lastly, Tracie discusses how many people don't do anything for their older dogs who are limping and shuffling along in serious pain from arthritis, for which there are many treatments, including: a glucosamine supplement like Platinum Performance, anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids from a quality fish oil like Nordic Naturals; a liquid anti-inflammatory medication like Metacam, injections of Adequan, stem cell therapy like the one she got for her two dogs from Vet-Stem and then acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and swimming.
