Podcast Ep 27: Pet Expert Dr. Jessica Vogelsang

Are you ready to learn a little bit more about your four-legged family members? Just in time for Fit Bottomed Pets Week (which starts TODAY!), we are talking with the totally amazing Dr. Jessica Vogelsang (aka Dr. V) of Pawcurious about her book All Dogs Go to Kevin and her best tips for pet owners.

Dr. V also talks about how important it is to prepare a pet for your growing family — and how kids need to be taught about interacting in a positive way with the family pet. (People, stop having your kids sit on the dog! It is NOT fun for them and can lead to a really horrible outcome). Plus, she shares how her Golden Retriever helped her through a bout of postpartum depression.

Here are a few of our favorite quotes from Dr. V in this ep …
