Vets To Go Radio Podcast

Anyone who owns a cat or dog knows that animals have so much to teach us, and sometimes the best thing we can do is allow them to do what they do naturally - and when we do, the results are often amazing. This week, we're going to speak to a fascinating dog lover from Canmore who specializes in tracking techniques from his search and rescue background.  Frans Baars from "On The Trail"  runs programs that allow dog owners to train their dogs to use their noses for games, and he combines this with agility and leadership development.  It's a very unique concept, and one that allows dogs to do have fun doing what they naturally like to do - use their noses to solve problems. Another topic we'll look at is vaccinations - they've become a major story in the media, especially when celebrities like Jenny McCarthy get involved in the conversation about the suggested risks and dangers of vaccinations. A lot of pet owners have similar concerns when it comes to their pets - specifically, over-vaccinating.
