About this listen

On this episode of Practical Pet Chat, Lorin and Rob explore one of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of great pet care — communication. As a pet parent, you are your pet’s voice, their translator, and their advocate. Whether you’re talking with your veterinarian, groomer, trainer, or pet sitter, how you communicate on your pet’s behalf can make a huge difference in their overall health and happiness. Lorin and Rob discuss why it’s so important to be clear, specific, and goal-oriented when communicating with the professionals who care for your pet. From describing changes in behavior or appetite to explaining grooming sensitivities or medical concerns, your insights can guide experts toward the right care and outcomes. They also talk about common pitfalls pet parents fall into — assuming a professional already knows what’s going on, not giving enough context, or waiting until things become a problem. By learning how to prepare for appointments, articulate your concerns, and ask the right questions, you can become the most effective advocate your pet could have. Your pet can’t speak for themselves, but with a little thought and preparation, you can make sure their needs and well-being are fully understood and prioritized. All of this and more on this insightful episode of Practical Pet Chat — because being a great communicator means being a great pet parent.
