Welcome to Maine’s radio show and podcast all about dogs and cats and the people that share their lives. Our goal is to inform and educate you about the needs and wants of your furry friends so that your lives together can be the best that they can be. 
Kate and I discuss the latest news from the pet world covering a wide range of topics such as; basic healthcare, how to choose a good cat or dog food, training, behavior, and management of your pet, resolving problem behavior, serious health issues, and more. Sometimes a show is just the two of us having a conversation, but we also have guests on the shows from our hometown, Bangor, ME and from all throughout the USA. Veterinarians, authors, trainers, behaviorists, filmmakers, shelter managers, and others have all shared their knowledge with us on The Woof Meow Show.
Whether you listen to our podcast or to the show as it is broadcast on Saturday at 9 AM on Z62 Retro Radio AM620, WZON, and WKIT HD3, we hope you find the show enjoyable and a valuable resource and that you become a regular listener. If you have a topic you would like us to consider for the show, contact me at donh@greenacreskennel.com.

If you want to learn what and how to feed your pet, you will not want to miss this show. Kate and Don will be talking with animal nutritionist Dr. Richard Patton. He has over 40 years of experience formulating diets for everything from wild animals to dogs and cats. Dr. Patton was first on the show five years ago. We begin the show by discussing the continued use of excessive amounts of carbohydrates in many pet foods. Dr. Patton explains the importance of quality sources of animal protein and fat in our pets' diets and how to balance the aspects of pet nutrition; low cost, consumer convenience, and optimal nutrition.
