The Baroo: A Podcast for Dogs and Their People

Originally released  in 2023 
Navigating the holiday season after losing a beloved pet can be emotionally complicated, but you're not alone in this journey.  Dr. Lindsey Wendt DVM,  joins me co-hosting a chat with Mindy Meiering, LCSW, a licensed therapist, certified life coach and the author/creator of the Rainbow Bridge Pet Loss Deck, a healing tool that supports people after the heartbreaking loss of a pet. She works with people who are navigating various types of loss and life transitions, offering them tools to cultivate resilience and healing. 
Mindy shares her insights on the power of gratitude and the process of creating her grief deck.  Our conversation is infused with actionable strategies for coping with grief during the holiday season, from incorporating pets into our holiday traditions to communicating our needs to loved ones. By the end, we hope you'll find comfort in the realization that while our pets' physical presence may fade, their spirit remains forever in our hearts.

Re- Release : Dr. Lindsey Wendt co- hosts our chat with Dr. Renee Schmid, a veterinary toxicologist from Pet Poison Helpline, who sheds light on the all-too-common issue of toxicity in pets during the festive period. From chocolate to poinsettias, human medications, decorations,  xylitol,  marijuana and more.  Dr. Schmid  highlights the common everyday hazards that pets may fall prey to, underscoring the importance of keeping these items out of their reach. 
She  also offers practical advice for when your furry friend ingests something potentially toxic. Learn the vital importance of staying calm, gathering information, and understanding how certain substances can affect your pet. We wrap up with a look at the crucial role of veterinary clinics and public education in raising awareness about toxin concerns.

*We will be taking a little break, but will be back with new conversations on all things dog in a bit.  In the meantime I would love to hear from you!  If you have a story of canine companionship you would like to share, a topic you would like to explore on the podcast, a question, or even a comment, please,  email me [email protected]. 

  Dr. Christina Montalbano from the University of Florida’s veterinary teaching hospital guides us through the  world of hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy for our animal companions. From horses to hamsters, we discuss  how this advanced treatment is offering a breath of fresh air to veterinary care, tackling ailments like wound management, spinal cord injuries, and a host of other conditions. Our conversation with Dr. Montalbano peels back the layers of history and science behind this modern marvel, revealing its journey from deep-sea applications to enhancing the well-being of pets and wildlife alike.
We  discuss the preparations and protocols necessary to ensure a secure environment inside the chamber. Learn why the smallest details, from removing a dog's collar to monitoring a cat's body temperature, are critical for a successful session. Dr. Montalbano also walks us through the contraindications and challenges of the therapy, sharing her expert perspective on how it's not a one-size-fits-all solution and what it could mean for animals with specific conditions like ear problems or the risk of acquired deafness.
We also explore how hyperbaric therapy holds its own when compared to treatments like ozone therapy, offering up vital information for pet owners seeking the best care 
options.
