Dog Podcast

What Makes the Eat Wag Love Dog Podcast Different?

There are plenty of places to find facts about dogs.

But facts become much more interesting when someone asks the questions you’re already thinking.

That’s where Sarah and Jake come in.

Meet Sarah – Pet Behaviour & Breed Expert

Sarah brings the expertise.

She’s knowledgeable about dog breeds, animal behaviour and the realities of pet ownership, but the podcast isn’t designed to sound like a textbook.

Instead, Sarah explains what the information actually means for someone considering or already living with a particular breed.

That might include:

• Temperament and personality.
• Family suitability.
• Exercise requirements.
• Training and intelligence.
• Grooming and shedding.
• Health considerations.
• Behaviour
• Breed history.
• The realities of everyday ownership.

The important question isn’t simply “What is this breed?”

It’s:

“What would sharing my life with this dog actually be like?”

Meet Jake – Curious Dog Lover

Jake approaches things from the other direction.

He’s an enthusiastic pet lover rather than the expert in the conversation.

That means he can ask the questions everyday owners naturally want answered.

Sometimes they’re serious.

Sometimes they’re practical.

And occasionally they’re simply the sort of question any curious dog lover would ask after hearing something surprising.

That interaction between expertise and curiosity is at the heart of the podcast.

Hundreds of fascinating dog breeds to discover

One of our favourite things about dogs is their extraordinary diversity.

Compare a Chihuahua with a Great Dane and it’s remarkable they’re members of the same species.

Then consider Border Collies, Dachshunds, Huskies, Poodles, Mastiffs, Spaniels, Terriers and the hundreds of other breeds and crosses found around the world.

Each has a story.

Sarah and Jake explore familiar favourites as well as unusual breeds many listeners may never have encountered before.

You might start an episode knowing nothing about a breed and finish thinking:

“I had absolutely no idea dogs like that existed.”

Cat Podcast:

Sarah & Jake Haven’t Forgotten Cat Lovers

Despite Jake’s official title being Curious Dog Lover, our feline friends certainly aren’t excluded.

The Eat Wag Love Podcast also explores the fascinating world of cats.

And cats give Jake plenty of questions to ask Sarah.

Cats are definitely not just small dogs

Understanding cats requires looking at the world very differently.

Their communication, social behaviour, independence, hunting instincts and relationships with humans can be remarkably complex.

Sarah helps explain what’s happening behind some of those mysterious feline behaviours while Jake approaches the subject from the perspective of the everyday pet lover.

Discover extraordinary cat breeds

Just like dogs, cats come with enormous differences in personality, appearance and behaviour.

Sarah and Jake can take listeners inside the world of breeds including:

• Maine Coons.
• Ragdolls
• Bengals
• Siamese
• British Shorthairs.
• Sphynx
• Savannah Cats.
• Burmese
• Norwegian Forest Cats.
• And many more.

Why is one breed extremely affectionate while another may be more independent?

Which cats are best suited to indoor living?

Which need substantial grooming?

And what should someone genuinely know before choosing a particular breed?

Those are the questions that make breed information useful rather than simply interesting.

Why Listen to a Pet Podcast?

One of the great things about podcasts is that they fit into the parts of life where watching a screen doesn’t.

And for dog owners, there’s an obvious opportunity.

Take Sarah & Jake on your next dog walk

Put your headphones on, grab the lead and choose an episode.

While your dog investigates every tree, lamp post and mysteriously fascinating patch of grass along the route, Sarah and Jake can introduce you to another breed.

By the time you arrive home, you might know considerably more about dogs than you did when you left.

Your dog probably won’t.

But they’ll have had a fantastic walk.

Learn through conversation

The Sarah and Jake format also makes complicated information easier to understand.

Rather than simply presenting facts one after another, Jake can question them.

What does that actually mean for an owner?

Would that be a problem with children?

Could this breed live in an apartment?

How much exercise is “a lot”?

Why does the breed behave like that?

Sarah can then explain the answer in practical terms.

It’s closer to sitting down with a knowledgeable pet expert and asking questions than listening to a traditional lecture.

Find a breed you never expected to love

Perhaps you’re researching a Golden Retriever.

Then you discover an episode about the Kooikerhondje.

Or the Schipperke.

Or the Azawakh.

Suddenly you’re learning about an animal you’d barely heard of ten minutes earlier.

That’s part of what makes exploring the world of pets so enjoyable.

There is always another story, behaviour or breed waiting to surprise us.
