Jumping Off the Rainbow Bridge
Working in the pet behavior field isn't always rainbows and unicorns. Instead, sometimes it involves the Rainbow Bridge. This topic is often misunderstood and stigmatized as the dark side of behavior. However, in science and in life, it is essential we refrain from drawing conclusions or placing blame without weighing facts and exploring varying points of view. One perspective is that the practice of euthanasia is a painless and humane way of releasing a pet from their suffering when all other means have been exhausted, and can be considered a compassionate and selfless gift. Join The Amys and their extra special guest, researcher, and applied animal behaviorist, Miranda Hitchcock, co-founder of Every Dog Austin Behavior & Training, for a heart to heart discussion about this sensitive, but necessary topic. Learn about the most common reasons or considerations for behavioral euthanasia, and how to best support those faced with difficult decisions in challenging times.

Keep Calm and Buzzzzzz On!
"How will they remember me?" Join the Amys and their enchanting guest Dr. Sarah Kuhlo, Veterinary Services Manager at Ceva Animal Health, as they discuss pheromones and their role in creating the ultimate Calm Clinic experience for pets and their people. Chemical communication is the oldest, most common, and most important form of intra-species communication used by most animals. Semiochemicals, such as pheromones, send powerful chemical "signals" that affect behavior. ThunderWorks® and FELIWAY® products are species-specific synthetic formulations of calming pheromones. Their use in veterinary settings and beyond, is proven to assist with environmental familiarization and emotional stabilization, leading to decreased fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats. Can humans detect the presence of dog/cat-specific pheromones? How can calming pheromones help you gain more trust from pets and their guardians? How does the Calm Clinic approach promote increased overall physical and emotional health? Are synthetic calming pheromones available for humans 👀?
