In this episode we discuss what to do when issues start to develop in multiple dog households, we find out about the mental health benefits dogs can provide, how food can help sensitive skin and allergy issues. We find out about how dogs play and also meet social media sensation @AdelaideFrenchBulldog.

Lara talks with Joe Parsons the Founder of Aussie Dog Products about how dogs respond to colour, movement, sound and more, and the important role that interactive toys can play to help keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated.

Dogs provide us with an array of physical and mental health benefits, so in this segment Co-Host Lara Shannon finds out how owning a pet can help people that suffer depression, loneliness and other feelings of isolation. She talks with Michelle Goff from mental health charity, Livin and Kate from Kalmpets in WA to delve into the mental health benefits of owning a dog.

Finding a pet sitter to look after your furry best friends whilst you are away can be a daunting experience.  It can be even harder if your pet prefers to be in your own home and so you have the added task of finding someone who you can trust, not only with your pets, but to look after your home as well whilst you go...

Gyton Grantley chats to Anneke van den Broek from Rufus & Coco about their natural 'Wee Away' product to help get rid of dog urine smells around the home, and why many common cleaning products actually make the problem worse!

In this segment Lara and Gyton check out how to search the range of pet-friendly options on TakeYourPet.com.au and find heaps of dog friendly accommodation, pet-friendly cafes, beaches, dog parks and much more.
