Animal well-being starts with HUMAN well-being. Parenting a reactive dog can be emotionally exhausting — not just for the dog, but for the humans who love and train them. In this episode, The Amys welcome licensed professional counselor and founder of Handlers and Humans, Jess Adam, who specializes in coaching and supporting trainers and guardians of reactive dogs. They discuss the significant stigma and emotional strain guardians often face, and, tools and strategies for promoting self-care while helping reactive dogs thrive.

It’s time to shake off the stigma, grab a cocktail, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees 🐝🐝, on the latest episode of Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.

French Bulldogs may be one of the most popular dog breeds in the world, but behind their big eyes and compact bodies lies a heartbreaking reality. Join The Amys and their groundbreaking guest, Dr. Julia Tomlinson, for a controversial conversation about how these dogs are being bred for looks over health—and the devastating consequences that follow. From chronic breathing issues to spinal deformities, skin problems, and the emotional toll of living in discomfort, we explore why the very traits that make Frenchies so trendy, are also making them suffer.

What should responsible breeding look like? How can prospective owners make more ethical choices? Isn't it time to rethink what “cute” really means when it comes to our dogs’ well-being?

It's that time again, so grab a cocktail and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees 🐝🐝, on the latest episode of Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.

Turns out calling someone “bird brained” isn’t an insult at all... Join the Amys and their exotic guest, Certified Parrot Behavior Consultant, founder of Parrot SOS, and ultimate wingwoman, Robin Horemans, as they swoop into the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) world of parrot behavior. Parrots possess an extremely high degree of cognitive and emotional intelligence, which can get them into trouble. From screaming and biting, to feather-plucking and household chaos, we explore the most common behavior challenges faced by captive parrots and the families who love them.

Is it ethical to keep birds as pets? Where do captive birds come from? How can we keep our feathered friends happy and thriving?
