Pet Parents Pod Danielle, Heath, and Kipp

So, about coming back...we are here for a one time special series finale. Sorry, folks, we did intend to lower our posting schedule and continue, but soul-searching made us realize our free time for this wonderful experience has passed. Join us for our last catch up, a full explanation of why we're ending, and, of course, the tangents. We love you all and are happy you have listened. Join us in the Discord and on the Instagram, those are staying up.

One last note: we talk about this at the end of the episode, but Wolfie's Wish reached out to us. We were originally going to schedule an episode to interview the creator, but that is no longer in the cards. Please check out their lovely grieving card set to help you thoughtfully work through your grief with a reflection question each day.

Pet Parents Pod is taking a 4 week break! See you back in March!

Happy Galentine's/Palentine's Day! We are on the eve of the lovey dovey day of love so we are talking about animal symbols of love. There are a lot birds, but Danielle didn't mean to make it a bird-focused episode. She swears. Enjoy our weird conversation.

This week we discuss what has been going on in our lives with emergency vet visits, machismo, and dogs on vacation. Join us for the exciting life of travel dogs and tall skeletor dogs!

This week we give you a long awaited Allergy Watch Update. Discover the list of things Mishka is allergic to, hear about the trials of Mishka and Atopica, and what lengths he has driven Danielle to in order to get him to eat. A normal dish to prepare for your dog is soaking the prescription dry food and blended wet prescription food into a mousse. Yes...normal.

Happy Lunar New Year! We are now in the year of the rabbit as of January 22nd, the water rabbit specifically. Join us as we tell the tale of the Chinese Zodiac myth and talk about their animals meaning.
