AMY'S ARTICLES, RADIO & Consults

Unfortunately, I can no longer offer one-on-one email pet behavior and health advice. Please consider subscribing to my free care and behavior E-Newsletter Pet Peeves. I also offer free cat behavior articles and advice at:

"Cats.About.com"

"Cat's Emotional Health Column"

For a professional dog or cat behavior consultation appointment and/or referral, e-mail your request to petconsult @ shojai . com (without the spaces) and I'll send you the options available. I offer only a limited number of in-person consults if you live within the N. Texas driving area. However, many specific behavior concerns may be addressed with a telephone consult--or referral to a colleague nearer to your location.

PET PEEVES RADIO PODCASTS

Winner of the 2008 & 2009 Cat Writers' Assn. "Muse Medallion" and 2008 Dog Writer's Association of America special awards
As of September the PET PEEVES show RANKS #3 of iTunes pet-theme selections with more than 58,000 downloads! Pet Peeves received a great review at ThatPodcastShow.
What makes you snarl and growl, wag and purr, or bare your teeth? I'll bring together top animal experts to discuss, explain--and sometimes argue about--common and not-so-common pet peeves at PetLifeRadio.com!
Do you have an opinion about breed bans? What about declawing cats, or keeping "exotic" pets? Has your city limited the number of critters you can keep? Opened a dog park? Closed the shelter? Maybe pet food choices raise your hackles, your nasty next-door-neighbor critters potty in your roses, or Mom treats her Chihuahua better than you. Do "whispering" dog trainers make you shout with joy--or scream with frustration? When does veterinary costs become too rich for your (pure)blood?
People love pets with a passion, but not all passionate pet lovers agree. PET PEEVES showcases pro and con opinions about deadly-serious to seriously-funny issues that irk pet-aholics of every purr-suasion.
I dare you to listen--prepare to be challenged, entertained, and potentially PEEVED...but never, ever bored!
