If you haven’t voted yet .. I still need your help to win the Women in Podcasting award 🙏

The first thing I want to say about this is THANK YOU!!!

I received so many messages saying, “Done!” and I can’t thank you enough.

Feeling this level of support has been heartwarming to say the least - for a podcast that started out as a strong but vague spark of inspiration to “do something for dogs and their people,” to help change the narrative and advocate for a more respectful way of relating to dogs, these wonderful and wonderfully wise beings that touch our souls like nothing and nobody else can.

It’s been a year since the first Weekly Treat went out .. what a year! And it’s only just the beginning ..

Thank YOU for being on the journey with me 🙏

If you know and enjoy the Soul Touched by Dogs podcast, please 🙏 click the button below and vote for me.

There aren't many podcasts in the Pets category so we have a realistic chance of winning, at least in the category 😛

NOTE: The process to vote is a little clunky (sorry, tech nerd speaking here ..)

The button below takes you to my nominee page.

From there, click VOTE which takes you to a signup form, then the voting form.

Choose PODCASTS, then select the PETS category and choose Soul Touched by Dogs from the dropdown.

Don't get carried away thinking you can vote for other podcasts in a different category 🤪 I tried and it only registered one (not the one I wanted) .. so please, make sure you ONLY select the Soul Touched by Dogs podcast.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

If you’re wondering what to best feed your dog and/or how to transition from kibble to something more nutritious, you’ll love the podcast episode with Charlie Dice

Here is the video if you prefer to watch.

And you’ll love the upcoming LIVE Masterclass TOMORROW:

Beyond Kibble: Improve Your Dog's Health and Increase Their Lifespan Through Nutrition" with Charlie Dice

12th August, 5:30 pm Europe (4:30 pm UK, 11:30 am ET, 8:30 am PT)

(HERE is what time that is for you)

Charlie immersed herself into the world of canine nutrition after her own dog, a gorgeous Bernese Mountain dog had horrible digestive issues for months, without any of the vet’s recommendations offering any relief.

With her degree in Animal Science and Nutrition, she knows a thing or two about food for dogs 😛

So, if you’re curious to learn more about canine nutrition …

This week’s Pawsome Human: Aileen Cronin - Dogs and Babies: A Guide to Peaceful Coexistence

When my grandma agreed to look after me when I was just 2 months old, people told her to watch out .. her then 10-year-old dog might not accept the baby.

Grandma handled it well (to this day, I believe that my love for dogs started then, even if I don’t consciously remember growing up with a dog) but it’s not hard to see how bringing a baby home changes a thing or two in the home 😛 

And there are a few things you can do to set your dog (and everyone else in the house) up for success.

In this delightful episode, I chat with Aileen, the founder of Baby Pack Leader, about the essential steps for preparing your dog for a new baby.

Aileen shares her expertise on creating structure, training, and ensuring a smooth transition for both dogs and families. We explore the biggest challenges, common concerns, and practical tips for managing the relationship between dogs and growing children.

Aileen also unpacks the importance of early preparation, the role of scents in familiarization, and fostering positive associations.

Grab a cuppa and learn how to create a harmonious household where your dog and baby can thrive together.
