Welcome to my new comedy series: My Fucked Up Dog. This month's episode is all about reactive dogs and medication. This is the story of how getting my anxious dog, Agnes, on the right meds inspired my partner Andrew to join the dog and me on our mental health journeys.
In this episode:
Jolie vlogs to us in the middle of dog-whining-fueled night about the frustrations of having a challenging and reactive dog.
We discuss the limitations and barriers to entry for both humans and pets for seeking psychiatric care (spoiler alert: Having bad health insurance sucks)
I sit down to talk medication options and learn about consequences of psych meds for scared/anxious pets with Shannon Riley from Ventura Pet Wellness and Dog Training Center
We head down to HLPTV to discuss some alternative forms of medicine with self-proclaimed "Medicine Expert", Scott Huntsman (WHO HYPNOTIZES AGNES THE DOG AND STEALS ALL HER TRICKS!!!!)
Hear a THOROUGH book report about animal psychiatry from Andrew -And learn all about the ways in which Better Help is garbage (in a sketch that is PARODY AND THEREFORE ABSOLUTELY NOT SLANDER)
I know dog anxiety and medications is a complex subject, but hopefully you find some answers and understanding in our tale!
Thanks a bundle to our lovely guests Shannon Riley and Scott Huntsman
