Season 4, Show #1 – Exercise for your pet

Just how important is exercise for your cat or dog? Dr. Caroline Gilje discusses the need for exercise with host Joe Hipperson. As she explains, pets need exercise to maintain a healthy weight, as well as a healthy mentality. Under-exercised pets may develop bad behaviors, because they’re under stimulated. Caller questions in this show include:

• What is the cause for a cat’s particularly bad breath, and how can it be cured?

• Are there mental exercises to give to pets?
• What are some tips for training a dog who seems unable to be house broken?
• What size should your dog’s crate be, in relation to his own size?
• Trivia question: How long is the average giraffe’s tongue?
