I need your help 🙏

I'm a nominee for the Women in Podcasting awards - very excited! - and I would love your support.

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 upcoming LIVE Masterclass:

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: Rosee Riggs - Understanding and Managing Separation Anxiety

If you dread leaving the house when you can’t take your dog, you’ll love this one.

I’m talking to Rosee Riggs, a British canine behavior advisor based in Austria, about her specialized work in helping dogs with separation anxiety.

Rosie shared her journey into this field, driven by her passion for understanding and addressing the emotional needs of dogs, especially those with fear and trauma backgrounds.

We discussed the signs of separation anxiety (not just the obvious ones), common misconceptions and ineffective advice that dog owners often receive, and what to do instead.

Rosie emphasized the importance of gradual desensitization and the role of professional guidance in effectively managing this complex issue.

Her insights offer hope for any dog owner struggling with a distressed pet, highlighting that it's not their fault and that there is effective help available.

How about a mug with a picture of YOUR dog, for your morning coffee or as a gift, using the proceeds to sponsor dogs in need and help the people who help dogs?

If you’d like one, hit reply and let me know.

Send me a good-quality photo of your dog and I’ll create the design and send you a link where you can purchase it.

(Shipping depends on where you are of course but will be somewhere around €5-12. I’ll check for you before I go and create the design, so there won’t be any surprises)
