Description:

Promoting the well being of our pets necessitates adequate mental and physical stimulation. This show begins with Lori’s tips and ideas on ways to keep pets’ bodies and minds in tip top shape, even during the coronavirus restrictions. Engaging in mental activities like working out puzzles, playing games and learning new commands and tricks are just as important as getting physical exercise.

Next, as society gradually returns to some type of normal, and we all resume our work and school schedules, our pets may feel a bit anxious and lonely. However there are things you can and should do beginning now, to lessen or avoid issues like separation anxiety. A good place to begin is by leaving your home and pets for short periods of time and gradually increasing the time away.

Then, how much do you know about sharks? Do you worry about swimming in the ocean? Take the shark quiz along with Peter and test your shark smarts. Here’s one tidbit: men account for 90% of shark attack victims.

This show also contains two super Animals Today Minute features on bison and avoiding dog bites.
