    Animal Party Episode 280 500 Cats, Singing Mice & a Dog With Something to Say
    2026/09/01
    Deb Wolfe reads a text complaining about a reactive dog at the farmers' market making other dogs anxious. Deborah explains step by step what you can do to teach your reactive dog to be calmer with other dogs and to make dog friends. Have you ever wanted to surround yourself with quirky cats? You can buy a ticket to visit RAPS cat sanctuary near the Vancouver Airport, and experience 500 cats! Did you know that mice sing love songs? And Deb Wolfe warns don't judge the dog by the tail! A wagging tail is not always a happy greeting. Today's riddle is which animal received 2500 birthday cards?

    In the UK beavers are being reintroduced as part of a 'rewild' program that is working perfectly. Deb Wolfe reports on two bear attacks yesterday and the need to never feed wildlife near your home or places people play. Fruit trees, garbage and intentional feeding are part of the problem that makes a 'fed bear a dead bear' but also a dangerous bear.

    Right now, there are terrible fires and if you are being evacuated in British Columbia and need a place for your social vaccinated dog please call us at 604-515-2267 and leave a message and we will receive your dog at 9-930 am or 5-530 pm for boarding at half price for as long as you need us at Camp Good Dog. Your dog can get out of the smoke, and into a place set up for dogs with five acres of fenced fields and pond and friendly staff to pamper and help them get over the evacuation and fire trauma. If you are fleeing the fires please leave water out for displaced pets, livestock and wildlife who may be passing through to escape the smoke and flames.

  • Animal Party Episode 279 When the Beach Goes to the Wolves: Dogs, Vacations & Wildlife Gone Wild

    Animal Party Episode 279 When the Beach Goes to the Wolves: Dogs, Vacations & Wildlife Gone Wild
    2026/08/17
    Did you ever plan a vacation only to arrive to rules that state your dog is too big or not allowed or must be on short leash and with you at all times? Even in the ocean? Well that's not how fetch works with a wet human and the dog can't move more than 3 feet. Tofino has changed so if you are going there maybe you want to leave your dog at home.

    Before you travel with your dog , De Wolfe recommends you research every detail. The problem with bad dog owners is they don't obey rules like don't let dogs chase nesting birds or avoid the wolf - conflict area with prey type dogs so then the Rangers make stricter rules and then the beach literally goes to the wolves. Wildfires erupt in Canada (and Washington State) and Canada sends firefighters to Colorado this year and many places world-wide when needed. Now we are very grateful for the help from Mexico! Thank you , Gracias to Mexico for sending firefighting teams. Mexico is also in the news for recovering Jaguar numbers and Florida passes a law prohibiting anyone convicted of animal abuse from ever owning an animal again plus more good news animal news stories. Deb Wolfe asks, 'Did you know that Orcas have never killed a human in the wild?'

The riddle of the day is what popular cocktail in Canada has a connection to an animal that was rescued? Did you know that cats have expanding and flexible spines?
