Get ready to unleash some laughs and learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to caring for our furry, scaly, and feathered friends! This week, hosts Jeffrey Hansler and Rona Lewis are joined by Dr. Dan Shapiro, a man who is practically a dog whisperer, cat wrangler, and bunny bodyguard all rolled into one. From diagnosing the mysterious meows to decoding the puzzled puppy stares, Dr. Dan has seen it all—minus the talking animals. (Sorry, no Dr. Dolittle cameos here!)

Tune in as we explore the wild world of veterinary medicine where the patients don’t speak, but they sure know how to bark, hiss, or occasionally give you the stink-eye. And it’s not just the pets keeping things interesting—their owners come with a few surprises of their own!

So, whether you are a seasoned pet parent or love a good tail-wagging story, this episode is purr-fectly designed for you!

Note: The camera we had focused on Dan during the podcast malfunctioned and did not record which is why we only have a side shot of him. (BTW Anyone else think he looks like Steve Reeves?)
