I'm Doug 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,640 Stephen, Jay and I have the company of Warren Eckstein. We're thankful for 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,440 him his expertise when it comes to handling issues with your pet. His weekend 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,679 program is on the air and many of the same stags to carry this program. 7 00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:28,399 You should look for it at the petshow dot com. Also you should 8 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:34,799 look for his brand of minerals vitamins Hugs and Kisses, which he talks about 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,200 on his program. As a matter of fact, I think, don't you 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:47,119 give hugs and kisses to everybody who calls the program? All right? So 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:53,439 the Guinness Book of World Records has a problem with this dog, supposed the 12 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:59,799 oldest dog ever. They have suspended the title that was given to this dog 13 00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,439 died last year, supposedly thirty one years old. A guard dog lived on 14 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,480 a farm in Portugal. So why is this a problem? I don't understand 15 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,439 who started this and why would they want to disrupt I just don't understand what 16 00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,079 the story is, and I bet you do. Well. You know Guinness 17 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:22,359 Book is they're always being someone's always testing them. How do you prove how 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280 old the dog is if you don't know exactly when the dog was born? 19 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,239 You know, why do you can't? I saw a commercial on TV the 20 00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:32,719 other day for a dogfood. I know we're going to talk about dog food. 21 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,560 It says, if you feed your dog this dog food, the following 22 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,040 dog, this one lifts to be twenty two. This one lived to be 23 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,480 twenty This one lifted a great thing to live to be twenty seven years old. 24 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,879 I would give that guy in my house if he shows me a twenty 25 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,840 seven year old great I would give them my house tomorrow. So, you 26 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,640 know Guinness Book of Worlds Records, they send people out they want. You 27 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,439 know, the Lucy Petswood company I work, but they just set a record 28 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,400 with one of their dogs that was the fastest dog to run around the bases 29 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,159 at Dodger Stadium. So you could do anything in terms of the oldest dog. 30 00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:07,519 I don't think anyone really can can determine who is the oldest dog to 31 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,479 they ever lived. It could be somewhere in someone who you'll never even put 32 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,120 that dog up for Guinness. But the world I have people call me on 33 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,960 the show that said they have a dog that's twenty three and twenty four, 34 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,800 and you know it's a smaller breeding. I believe that. But this dog 35 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,479 that he showed in Guinness, he was a pretty good sized dog. So 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,199 the fact that he was thirty six thirty seven, I don't know, maybe 37 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:31,120 Portuguese counting. I wasn't an American count Portuguese numerals, yes, yeah, 38 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,680 their numbers might be a little different. Just like today when I do this 39 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,120 phone call with you, gotta feel so much more wide away because I'm an 40 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:44,280 Arizona and it's six o'clock instead of our normal five o'clock for me, yay, 41 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,240 you know days Charlotte will be fifteen and everybody is astonished that a bulldog 42 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,599 would live that long. My goal for Daisy is to have her last that 43 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,039 long as well, if not longer, for Heaven's sakes. Well, here 44 00:02:55,199 --> 00:03:00,639 is a secret. Here's the seat. Healthy diet, good exercise, and 45 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,560 a lot of love and good vetinary care just like anything else. So many 46 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,680 dogs, and that's why I take my dogs to the vet. They go 47 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,840 to the vet every six months to a year because if there is a problem 48 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,840 with all the modern stuff out there, they can help resolve it and work 49 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,319 on it. So it's something to get those check ups. Real important, 50 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,479 right, and it's important to have it that has happens. The vet that 51 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,400 I'm going to is a friend of my daughter's husband, and she's very very 52 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:30,800 careful with is very very personally involved. I just think that that's cool. 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,439 It's wonderful to have that. Here's you're talking about dog food. Purina says 54 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:43,759 that the online rumors that the food is no good, the safety concerns that 55 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,520 have been raised are not true. You can feel it's safe to feed your 56 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800 dog and cat. Piano. What do you expect them to say, Yeah, 57 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,240 our food is crap our number, right, I mean they gotta say 58 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,479 tell you that, you know. But it's interesting about dog food. And 59 00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:01,400 I'll tell you a lot of dog foods. You know. You can go 60 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,840 to the supermarket or look online. You see maybe fifty different types of dog 61 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,599 foods. A lot of them are manufactured at this same plant, just given 62 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680 different names on the labels. They might have different ingredients and they might be 63 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,480 this, and they might be that. But a lot of them are manufactured 64 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,920 at some plant, maybe in the Midwest or down in Arkansas where they make 65 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,920 thirty forty different brands of food. So really knowing where your food is made, 66 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,319 who's in charge of your food. A lot of the food you see 67 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,360 advertised on TV right now in radio, they're just spending a lot of money. 68 00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,160 Bottom line is this. They're not owned by you, then owned by 69 00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:34,600 me. They're owned by an investment group. Investment bankers in New York have 70 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,120 no idea what they're doing. They invested money, got a vet, put 71 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,680 together a dog food, and they're selling it. That's why when I recommend 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,319 the dog food, I want to be able to know who's in charge of 73 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,279 that company, where it's made, do they test their ingredients? All of 74 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,120 that stuff is critical and I think people should spend whatever food they want to 75 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,920 feed, spend the time doing the research. And by the way, there's 76 00:04:54,959 --> 00:05:00,000 a website called dog food Advisor, and anytime there's a recall, whether people 77 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:02,279 or any other company, you can check them out. To check out dog 78 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,720 Food Advisor. Don't take their recommendations, but you can see what foods might 79 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:10,160 have been recalled or have a problem. Well, I think the key here 80 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,279 is what you just said. There are so many different choices you educate yourself 81 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:16,800 as to I mean, there are a lot of them that are expensive, 82 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,879 so they deserve to be expensive. No, but they got you because they've 83 00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:24,240 convinced you that theirs is the best. The other side of it is that 84 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,839 look at the ingredients and if you really love your dog, you'll feed them 85 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:31,839 the best food using your own knowledge and skill or listening to somebody like you 86 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,519 who tells them what makes sense. That's why I feed my dog's lucy pet. 87 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,160 My son does as well because of you. The next Stefan Good Day 88 00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:45,600 download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in part by Keltren, which 89 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,199 is the safe way for you to lose weight and keep it off, and 90 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,839 also by previagent keeping your brain healthy.
