The Pug Life Show

NOV 10, 2024

There is a saying that goes “everyone has a book inside of them” and who knew that included Pugs! Now it’s not often I get to meet a multi-talented Pug such as PD the Pug; pug-author and all round cute snaggle-toothed boy pug, but thankfully he agreed to come on the Show to not only talk about himself and his pawsomeness (or should I say, have his Pug-mom Marilee talk about his pawsomeness), but to also talk about his books – the fourth having been released this year and my personal favourite – ‘A Star is Born!; PD the Pug on the Silver Screen.

S3 EP08: Essential Oils for Pugs

Our episode today is one that I have wanted to do for some time now because I know so little about essential oils, but I love having them in my life. I love burning scented candles in my office and my home, I love a relaxing bath with some relaxing salts and an occasional visit from Rosie and Kenji checking up on me to make sure I haven’t forgotten them or dinner time, and I love running my diffuser when I don’t have a candle.The challenge is that I know enough about essential oils to know that some are not good for our furry fur-ends, but not enough to know what is good, what is bad and what combination is best for me and the Puggies … so you can see why I asked Libby to join me on the Show to dispel the myth, provide the fact and even give me a little advice about that little thing called anxiety which we all know Kenji suffers from.In this episode I’ll cover:<ul><li><ul><li>03:00 Tell us a little bit about yourself and your fur-family</li><li>05:02 What inspired you to learn more about essential oils specifically for pets?</li><li>05:57 What are the “don’t” with essential oils and why?</li><li>13:59 Talk us through the oils that are safe for Pugs and what can they do for them?</li><li>22:48 Explain the different methods of application – diffuser, petting, ear tipping or paws.</li><li>33:24 Listener offer</li><li>36:22 How can our listeners find you?</li></ul></li></ul>Libby has provided us with a special link that you can use to purchase oils for your Pug at a reduced price and get access to ongoing support and education, YEAH!

S3 EP07: What would a Puggie need with a treadmill?

I would understand if you thought to yourself on seeing the title of this PUGCAST, what would a Puggie need with a treadmill especially when I titled it “What would a Puggie need with a treadmill?”. However, when I came across this treadmill earlier this year, it made me think of my first Pug Louis, aka Fatdog and how he could have benefitted from a treadmill like this when we needed to get his weight down.In this episode I’ll cover:<ul><li>01:30 What would a Puggie need with a treadmill?</li><li>03:39 Tell us a little bit about yourself and </li><li>04:58 What was the inspiration?</li><li>06:07 Describe the treadmills and why it compliments a puggie walk</li><li>17:02 Can it be used outside?</li><li>20:53 What treadmill would you recommend for a Pug?</li><li>22:44 Where can we find Chase Pro Treadmills</li></ul>Want to know more about Chase Pro Treadmills, then you can find them here:<ul><li>Website https://www.chase-pro.com/</li><li>Facebook @chaseprodogtreadmills</li><li>Instagram @chaseprodogtreadmills</li><li>YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaLH6ogHQGnZx8gDCqtm8aA</li></ul>If you liked the episode, or if you think it'll be useful for someone else, please leave a review on your PODCAST streaming service.You can either quickly hit the 5 stars if you're busy, or if you have a few extra minutes hit 5 stars and tell us what you think.By leaving us a review, not only will we know what you like or not like about the Show, other Puggies will be able to find us more easily and they can join in on the fun as well, YEAH!Don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter at https://bit.ly/thepuglifeshow, so you get advance notice of our next episode and if you've got any questions or want to tell us how much you loved the Episode then let me know over at our Facebook Group "Livin' the Pug Life" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinthepuglife/) where Crazy Pug Pawrents meet to talk all things pug.

S3 EP05: Shedding Light on Canine Mental Health

It’s not often that I gush about a book of any kind, so when I do come across a book that I not only enjoy reading but I also get a lot out of when it comes to understanding my Puggies I gush to everyone, and then I ask for the author to come onto the Pug Life Show so we can talk about it in detail. Dr Dennis Wormald’s book ‘A Dedication to Difficult Dogs; A heartwarming tale shedding light on Canine Mental Health’ is a must read for every Pug-Pawrent out there. It doesn’t matter if your Pug has anxiety or not, this book helped me understand what might be going on in Rosie and Kenji’s heads (not to mention the rescue Puggies I care for) on a daily basis and thanks to that, I feel like I’m a better Pug-mom for it.
