I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed about how dogs and cats fit into the family unit on a live Internet radio show called Family First.

For anyone who has children of any age and is considering adding a pet to your household or to anyone who has pets that are creating tension or discord between parents or parents and children, I invite you to hear my advice in this interview.

Additionally, I talk about the causes of dog bites to children and how to educate yourself and your children to prevent being bitten, a topic I recently discussed with Victoria Stillwell from “It’s Me or the Dog” on DOG TALK.

Tracie Hotchner, author of The Dog Bible and The Cat Bible, guest blogs here every Thursday on healthy, natural choices for pets.
