    Preparing Pets for Baby with Janis Wall

    Preparing Pets for Baby with Janis Wall

    If you have a pet and you'll someday be coming home with a baby (or two or more), this is a MUST LISTEN!

    Janis Wall is a local Veterinary Technician and expecting her first baby very soon, so I was pumped to get the chance to speak with her about preparing cats and dogs for Baby's arrival. She goes into a lot of great detail for both animals so there are lots of options for everyone.

    Here are the articles she referenced for more information:

HATC215 ,

A must listen for new parents!

Ashley provides evidence-informed information in a non-judgmental, supportive way. This podcast is my go to for baby info! Keep up the good work!

Em Pi ,

Educational, supportive and interesting podcast!

I have loved listening to this podcast throughout my first pregnancy and revisited some of my favourite episodes during my second! A variety of topics covered with experts in their fields. Love that it’s Canadian (so much online is geared to American content). Always felt more knowledgeable after an episode and Ashley is always looking for the most up to date information/topics for her listeners. A must listen for any parent!
