Dottie from Pigs4ever.com joined us to talk about having a pot bellied pig as a pet. Now you might think this is funny but it is not as rare as it appears. Pot Bellied Pigs make great pets and they are smarter than most dogs. These are not your farm variety of pig and they need the care and attention that any other pet would need. George Clooney thought they made great pets and had one named “Max!”

DOGSWELL FOODS
Holly Trevan, Director of Marketing for Dogswell.com joined us to talk about “Nutrisca” which is a low glycemic, diabetic freindly type of dog food. With the level of pet obesity on the rise diabetes is something pet owners are becoming more aware of every year and Dogswell has a good program for this as well as other types of healthy foods for your dog! Check out their web site and see where you can get some for your best freind.

The goal is to get 1.5 million pets adopted by January 2011 and 5 Million bowls of food donated to shelters in need. They are well on their way but they need our help! Mike is in the business of saving lives and in his 40 years has saved millions of pets. Listen in to this great discussion with Mike as he tells us how he entered this line of work.
