  • 1204 - 1301. This Border Collie Knows 1000 Words - What Does "Made In The USA" Really Mean?

    You may have heard about Chaser, the Border Collie, that not only knows 1000 words but can understand sentences. John Pilley got Chaser when he was 72, and has chronicled this amazing story. Your dog may be just as brilliant! Also, meat or plant-based “jerky” pet treats have been tied to mysterious illnesses in thousands of dogs, according to the FDA. Bernadette Dunham, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, said, “This is one of the most elusive and mysterious outbreaks we’ve encountered.” Also, Jennifer Holland has released another book highlighting strange and unusual animal relationships. You’ll hear about the unique pairing of an Elephant and a Sea Lion. But that’s not the weirdest. You’ll have to listen to believe it. Also, Dr. Cindy Bressler has a unique job. She’s a vet for the other side of the tracks. This entrepreneur started the country’s only private jet, ride-along-vet concierge pet service. For a small fortune, between $1,200 and $15,000 an hour, she and her team administer IVs and drips and handle any other medical issues. Also, the Animal Radio Dream Team will be answering questions about your pets.

  • 1203 - 1300. Does This Collar Make My Butt Look Big? Why Does My Dog Roll In Dead Stuff?

    The very amusing Dena Harris joins us as she parodies all the self-help diet books with tips to reduce the fat in your cat. You’ll hear purr-actical tips like, eat whatever you want, throw it up at 3am right in the middle of the bedroom floor. Also, Cat Warren trains cadaver dogs to look for dead bodies. How does she do it? And just how good is your dog’s nose? So good they can sniff a corpse at the bottom of a lake for 100 years. Would “Ladybug” the Animal Radio Stunt Dog be good as a cadaver dog? She likes rolling in dead stuff. Also, it’s all fun and games until someone gets squirted in the eye. Dogfather Joey Villani suggests you go to your veterinarian if your dog’s glands need to be expressed. But just in case you want to do it on your own, he’ll tell you what you need to know first. Also, it’s not just a Friends song. It’s a real problem that can be solved using stuff you probably already have in your pantry. We’ll have the reasons and the cures for your smelly cat. Also, cats and dogs in nearly 30 states are now eligible for full hereditary and congenital coverage from several insurance carriers. Hereditary and congenital coverage is a relative newcomer to the insurance field. Also, wine drinkers in Japan can now share a glass with their feline friends. B&H Lifes is releasing a wine for cats. While the wine doesn’t actually contain any alcohol, it is made from Cabernet grapes. It is also blended with vitamin C and catnip for a mixture that supposedly tastes similar to red wine.

  • 1202 - 1299. Actress Megan Blake Is Teaching Dogs To Fly

    Actress and animal advocate Megan Blake is teaching dogs to fly on airplanes using a Hollywood studio set and aircraft simulator. For $300, you can desensitize your pup from all the noise and vibrations that happen on a real plane. Also, as Halloween approaches, we examine all the strange superstitions, from Black Cats to Fat Rats. Self-proclaimed expert Kim Campbell Thornton shares the stories behind the myths and legends. Also, a new website is supposedly offering an unusual way to control the pet population - condoms for cats and dogs. It claims to offer a special brand of protection dubbed Animal Instincts. But anyone trying to purchase a pack of the condoms will quickly realize they’re out of luck. As soon as they click on one of the links, a message pops up telling potential customers: “C’mon, there’s only one real fix, spay or neuter your pet. Also, an Ohio woman is trying to prove that skunks aren’t the “smelly little creatures” people may think they are. Deborah Cipriani has converted her home into the country’s only rescue center for domestic skunks. She has 50 skunks that have free rein of her five-bedroom house - dubbed Skunk Haven - and some of them even sleep in her bed. She also hosts an annual animal lovers event known as Skunk Fest. Also, a Northern California family cat is in the running for a national pet insurance award. After racking up a $1,200 vet bill being squashed in a garage door incident, Ariel, the Carter family cat, is now in the running for the “Most Unusual Claim of the Year.”

  • 1201 - 1298. Would You Marry Your Dog? Comedian Leigh Anne Jasheway and Joey Camen Guest.

    70% of female respondents would marry their dog, according to comedian Leigh Anne Jasheway. Leigh Anne barks up all the major problem issues single women with dogs face when trying to mate and relate with a human male - and how to successfully have sex in front of the dog without causing dogus-interruptus. Also, what’s better than one animal-loving comedian? Two, of course. Joey Camen and his multiple personalities visit with Animal Radio. He shares an exciting, tail-wagging story about the relationship he had with Snoopy, his shelter dog. Also, we all know that birds sing, but did you know mice do as well? And the songs vary, so mice that live in the jungle of the Amazon may sound one way. Mice in Detroit have also been studied, and they sound another way. I’m not sure how mice in LA might sound. Also, Vinnie Penn takes a look at the Watchdog Report. It details exactly how much money animal-related non-profits make and how they spend it. Once you hear the truth, you may think twice before making a donation to your favorite charity. Also, a cat-lover has amazed animal experts by teaching his furr-ball “Salem” to use a human toilet. 29-year-old Luke Evans became fed up with the puss using a smelly litter tray in his second-floor flat. So he trained a nine-month-old cat to go to the toilet in his bathroom by offering cheese-flavored treats as a reward. Also, Joey Villani has been grooming dogs since he was a toddler (FDR was president…we think). He’s sharing more secrets to grooming your pet with stuff you have around your house….like Downy fabric softener, Gold Bond medicated powder, Vinegar, Bounce dryer sheets, and corn starch.

  • 1200 - 1297. Barking Blondes and Chickens for Rent

    Anna Webb and Jo Good are perhaps the two funniest ladies you’ve ever heard. They have an affinity for our “fur-kids” - and they’ll tell you how two bitches taught two bitches to survive without men. Also, once again, we are having a record year for fleas. And this has, quite by accident, become the thrust of today’s show. Dr. Cristiano Von Simpson and “Dogfather” Joey Villani offer up great advice for ridding your pet of fleas once and for all. Can you use Listerine or Vinegar as effective protection? Dr. Debbie busts the myths. Also, Phil Thompkins and his wife Jenn are quite the entrepreneurs. They’ve successfully launched a chicken rental business just in time for a renewed interest in the feathered fowl. “Chickens are the new dogs,” many simply like having the egg supply. Also, a wildlife park in the U.K. has started banning animal print clothing after zookeepers noticed the fashion choice was confusing the animals. The Chessington World of Adventures has even brought in “Animal Print Bouncers” to make sure visitors don’t get in wearing anything patterned after zebras, giraffes, leopards, tigers, or other wild animals. Also, did you know it’s pretty common for unaltered male dogs (and cats) to be missing hair on the base of their tail? It’s just another one of the problems when you fail to neuter your dog. You can even avoid some cancers by snip-snip-snipping. Also, a new cafe in Paris offers patrons a dose of stress relief with their coffee. The Cat Cafe has a dozen resident cats to provide “purr therapy.” The manager there says a cat’s purring has been shown to help relieve arthritis or rheumatism and to lower blood pressure and heart rate. It seems the whole concept is a hit. So many people showed up for the cafe’s recent opening that about 300 had to be turned away.
