Let’s face it…
A lot of commercial dog food is a nutritional nightmare. If we were to see how it’s made and to really understand what’s in it, we would be shocked.
Not only is it terribly unhealthy, it’s devoid of taste.
It also may be making your dog sick.
Think about this…
Close to 50% of all US dogs will develop cancer. Many of those will die from this dreadful disease.
Other diseases and health-destroying conditions are rampant in the canine population.
Doesn’t it make sense that processed kibble loaded with harsh chemicals and devoid of nutrition may be at least partly to blame?
If you’re concerned about what your dog is eating and you’re looking for much healthier options, you’re going to love today’s episode of The Dogevity™️ Show!

Lisa Baronoff had a problem. Her beloved dog, Toffee, an adorable cocker spaniel, was sick. Here’s what happened…
She took him on a walk through the streets of New York in the snow. Now, that may seem like a safe thing to do. But it wasn’t.
Toffee’s paws got covered with dangerous, toxic chemicals used to melt snow.
As dogs do, he licked his paws. And he got sick. Violently sick. On the advice of her vet, Lisa put boots on him. She tried 10 different pairs. Each was a disaster. The same three frustrating problems kept happening…
As you can imagine, it’s a challenge to get boots on four squirming paws. They were uncomfortable and kept him from walking normally.
And he would somehow always manage to lose one or two of them on their walks before Lisa noticed.
So this problem wasn’t just frustrating, it was expensive!
What did Lisa do? Instead of giving up, she invented Walkie Paws! Not only did this amazing product solve her problem and help keep Toffee healthier, safer and more comfortable, it helped keep her home and furniture much cleaner.
So if you and your pup suffer from these same problems, you’ll want to listen to this episode of The Dogevity Show. Not only are Walkie Paws functional and practical, not only are they a far better solution than traditional dog boots, but they’re also adorable and fun!

We get it. We understand the importance of good nutrition for ourselves. But what do we do for our dogs? Often, we just toss some dry, unnatural, heavily processed kibble in a bowl and forget about it. This may work OK for a while. But eventually, the consequences of this approach to feeding our dogs leads to devastating health consequences.
Not only do dogs need good, natural, wholesome food to thrive and enjoy optimal health, they often need a diet customized to their breed, age, health status and other factors unique to them.

We love our dogs, but let’s face it! If they aren’t properly trained and well behaved, they can be a handful. Like a lot of dog owners, maybe you’ve decided your pup needs training.
Wendy’s guest, Shannon Riley-Coyner, felt the same way. As a teenager, she took her lab puppy to a training class, but she was shocked at the methods used; choke chains and too-tight collars were used as punishment. Positive reinforcement was nowhere to be found.
She quickly left that class and set out on a pursuit to find a safe, kind and gentle dog training method.
She decided there had to be a better way, and she found it! Now she’s an in-demand dog trainer, internationally renowned speaker and author of The Evolution of Dog Training: From Choke Chains to Clickers, Uncovering the Secrets to Having a Well-Behaved Dog.
If you have a dog you want to train the kind, gentle, humane way, or if, like Shannon and Wendy, you’re concerned about how common punishment is used in dog training, this episode is a must listen!
Here’s something we can all relate to…The difficulty of taking your dog to the vet. It’s stressful for you. It’s stressful for your dog. And it’s stressful for your vet.
They are hurried and harried. In such a hectic environment, they can’t give your dog the degree of attention and care they need. The level of care they want to give your dog. The level of care you expect. The level of care your dog deserves.
But what if there was a better way? An easier way? A more effective way? There is…
Wendy’s guest on today’s episode of The Dogevity™️ Show works with a company that has a unique business model that solves these problems. It helps vets provide more focused, comprehensive, customized care.

Preventing dog bites…
We often think the risk of dog bites comes only from stray dogs. But here’s a shocking statistic…77% of dog bites suffered by children come from their family dog or a friend’s dog.
This is dauting to read. But it also gives us a strong epiphany. If a family dog bites a child or a friend, it’s easy to blame the dog, to think it’s somehow “defective”.
But here’s the thing…
These are our dogs. “We” are the common denominator. We are somehow complicit in this tragic situation. We’re training our dogs. We’re teaching them how to view and navigate the world around them. And we’re doing something wrong.

Today’s show talks about a critical topic—our environment and the impact dogs are having on the health of our planet. Specifically, let’s talk about single-use plastic poop bags.
Now, maybe you’re reading this and thinking that there are lots of different ecofriendly dog waste bags you can buy. Actually, that’s not true. Here’s the thing…
There are plenty of recycled options, and there are plastic bags that claim to be biodegradable. But they all have one thing in common: they are made from plastic, a substance that’s toxic to our environment.
And those that are marketed as biodegradable still break down into “microplastic” particles that pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.
It's important that each of us do what we can to help our planet.
Our guest, Tracy Rosensteel, is working to make a difference. She has created a unique product that will help reduce the amount of plastic in our environment. It’s called Pooch Paper It’s a paper alternative to single-use plastic dog waste bags.
And it’s a remarkable solution to a major environmental problem.

It’s easy to “turn a blind eye” and assume that after their service, these dogs are reunited with their handlers or given to good, loving homes where they enjoy great lives. This is often far from the truth.
But there is good news. There are dedicated people working to help save working dogs and give them to caring, safe homes after their service. In today’s episode, Wendy talks to one such person. Her guest is Bob Bryant, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Mission K9 Rescue. an animal welfare organization in Houston dedicated solely to rescuing, reuniting, rehoming, repeat repairing and rehabilitating working dogs.
Bob and Wendy talk about the plight of retired working dogs, but also give hope and share some heartwarming stories.
This promises to be an episode you don’t want to miss! Tune in here!
