Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (09-15-2018) #588: Featuring Amy Burkert, Jason Hargraves, and Susan Kurowski. Amy Burkert talks about how she researched THE ULTIMATE PET FRIENDLY ROAD TRIP: A GUIDE TO THE #1 PET FRIENDLY ATTRACTIONS IN 48 STATES & WASHINGTON D.C. by driving to all of them with her husband and their dogs in an RV; Jason Hargraves from InsuranceQuotes.com talks to Tracie about the value of pet insurance, which he also wrote about in an InsuranceQuotes.com article; Susan Kurowski talks about Pets for the Elderly, which collaborates with 56 shelters in 35 states to match the right animal companion with older people (to Tracie’s shock, “elderly” is described as 60 or older!)
