Licensed mental health counselor and Pet Loss Grief Counseling Trained Professional Anne Marie Farage-Smith discusses the profound and emotional topic of coping with the loss of a beloved pet. Her book, Healing Wisdom for Pet Loss: An Animal Lover’s Guide to Grief, should be on the bookshelf of everyone who has a pet companion and her interview offers an important reminder to celebrate what we cherish in our lives. Learn more and place your order at Farage-Smith.com. 0214: Pet Hospice with Dr. Shea Cox Pet hospice is so much more than facing the final days of a treasured relationship. It’s an opportunity and an obligation to make the best choices for a beloved pet long before that time comes. 0304: Author Sarah Chauncey P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna is a thoughtful and helpful gift for anyone dealing with the loss of an animal they love or even in anticipation of that event if it is an ill or aging pet. It’s more than a greeting card but not as in depth and comprehensive as Anne Marie’s book. They make a nice complement to each other. 0416: Craig Grossi and Fred the Afghan Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, And How They Rescued Each Other tells the story of Fred the Afghan’s miraculous journey from a war zone to living his best life in America. 0504: Author Erika Sinner Pets Are Family covers love, loss and advocacy for including pet bereavement in corporate policies.

Listen to Daniel’s previous visit to Dog Words: 0419: Canine Nutrition with Daniel Schulof The Morris Animal Foundation is discussed in this episode. While they have helped fund research that greatly benefits the health of animals, their research on pet nutrition can be called into question. We were not aware of the conflict of interest raised by Daniel Schulof when we interviewed Dr. Kelly Diehl in 2021. While we are grateful for the beneficial work they have done in many areas of animal research, we implore the Morris Animal Foundation to objectively study the impact of meat-based protein versus plant-derived carbohydrates in pet food.
