Pawdcast
If you love talking about your dog – and who doesn’t, then the PawsGo PAWdcast is for you. Join Jean and Karen (friends who are dog owners, dog lovers and animal advocates) for their conversations with dog trainers, animal communicators, veterinarians, animal welfare advocates, entrepreneurs, nutritionists – you get the idea. Each episode concludes with a PawsDown and a PawsUp – things that annoy dog owners or make us smile. Share your own PawsDown or PawsUp through PawsGo on Instagram @pawsgo -- if we use yours, you’ll get a cool PawsGo t-shirt!
