Stephen, Jay and I have the company of Warren Eckstein. We're thankful for
him his expertise when it comes to handling issues with your pet. His weekend
program is on the air and many of the same stags to carry this program.
You should look for it at the petshow dot com. Also you should
look for his brand of minerals vitamins Hugs and Kisses, which he talks about
on his program. As a matter of fact, I think, don't you
give hugs and kisses to everybody who calls the program? All right? So
the Guinness Book of World Records has a problem with this dog, supposed the
oldest dog ever. They have suspended the title that was given to this dog
died last year, supposedly thirty one years old. A guard dog lived on
a farm in Portugal. So why is this a problem? I don't understand
who started this and why would they want to disrupt I just don't understand what
the story is, and I bet you do. Well. You know Guinness
Book is they're always being someone's always testing them. How do you prove how
old the dog is if you don't know exactly when the dog was born?
You know, why do you can't? I saw a commercial on TV the
other day for a dogfood. I know we're going to talk about dog food.
It says, if you feed your dog this dog food, the following
dog, this one lifts to be twenty two. This one lived to be
twenty This one lifted a great thing to live to be twenty seven years old.
I would give that guy in my house if he shows me a twenty
seven year old great I would give them my house tomorrow. So, you
know Guinness Book of Worlds Records, they send people out they want. You
know, the Lucy Petswood company I work, but they just set a record
with one of their dogs that was the fastest dog to run around the bases
at Dodger Stadium. So you could do anything in terms of the oldest dog.
I don't think anyone really can can determine who is the oldest dog to
they ever lived. It could be somewhere in someone who you'll never even put
that dog up for Guinness. But the world I have people call me on
the show that said they have a dog that's twenty three and twenty four,
and you know it's a smaller breeding. I believe that. But this dog
that he showed in Guinness, he was a pretty good sized dog. So
the fact that he was thirty six thirty seven, I don't know, maybe
Portuguese counting. I wasn't an American count Portuguese numerals, yes, yeah,
their numbers might be a little different. Just like today when I do this
phone call with you, gotta feel so much more wide away because I'm an
Arizona and it's six o'clock instead of our normal five o'clock for me, yay,
you know days Charlotte will be fifteen and everybody is astonished that a bulldog
would live that long. My goal for Daisy is to have her last that
long as well, if not longer, for Heaven's sakes. Well, here
is a secret. Here's the seat. Healthy diet, good exercise, and
a lot of love and good vetinary care just like anything else. So many
dogs, and that's why I take my dogs to the vet. They go
to the vet every six months to a year because if there is a problem
with all the modern stuff out there, they can help resolve it and work
on it. So it's something to get those check ups. Real important,
right, and it's important to have it that has happens. The vet that
I'm going to is a friend of my daughter's husband, and she's very very
careful with is very very personally involved. I just think that that's cool.
It's wonderful to have that. Here's you're talking about dog food. Purina says
that the online rumors that the food is no good, the safety concerns that
have been raised are not true. You can feel it's safe to feed your
dog and cat. Piano. What do you expect them to say, Yeah,
our food is crap our number, right, I mean they gotta say
tell you that, you know. But it's interesting about dog food. And
I'll tell you a lot of dog foods. You know. You can go
to the supermarket or look online. You see maybe fifty different types of dog
foods. A lot of them are manufactured at this same plant, just given
different names on the labels. They might have different ingredients and they might be
this, and they might be that. But a lot of them are manufactured
at some plant, maybe in the Midwest or down in Arkansas where they make
thirty forty different brands of food. So really knowing where your food is made,
who's in charge of your food. A lot of the food you see
advertised on TV right now in radio, they're just spending a lot of money.
Bottom line is this. They're not owned by you, then owned by
me. They're owned by an investment group. Investment bankers in New York have
no idea what they're doing. They invested money, got a vet, put
together a dog food, and they're selling it. That's why when I recommend
the dog food, I want to be able to know who's in charge of
that company, where it's made, do they test their ingredients? All of
that stuff is critical and I think people should spend whatever food they want to
feed, spend the time doing the research. And by the way, there's
a website called dog food Advisor, and anytime there's a recall, whether people
or any other company, you can check them out. To check out dog
Food Advisor. Don't take their recommendations, but you can see what foods might
have been recalled or have a problem. Well, I think the key here
is what you just said. There are so many different choices you educate yourself
as to I mean, there are a lot of them that are expensive,
so they deserve to be expensive. No, but they got you because they've
convinced you that theirs is the best. The other side of it is that
look at the ingredients and if you really love your dog, you'll feed them
the best food using your own knowledge and skill or listening to somebody like you
who tells them what makes sense. That's why I feed my dog's lucy pet.
My son does as well because of you. The next Stefan Good Day
