In this insightful and entertaining episode of the Pets Add Life Podcast, hosts Chris Bonifati and Kristen Levine explore emerging pet health technology, unusual animal behaviors, and the growing need for trustworthy veterinary information. From body composition innovation and snake safety to expert advice on fear-free care and online pet myths, this episode delivers both practical guidance and eye-opening insights for modern pet parents.
Story Time features:
Kristen shares a fascinating look at Dexa scanning technology and how it could revolutionize how veterinarians measure pet body composition — offering a more accurate alternative to traditional weight and visual assessments as pet obesity continues to rise.
Chris highlights a bizarre but real pet care issue: snakes eating their own tails, explaining why it happens and sharing a simple (but surprising) vet-approved method to safely interrupt the behavior.
