| 5/9/26 | ![]() The intersection of animal welfare and human relationships | The legal landscape is shifting. Animals are no longer simply property, they're something closer to sentient beings whose welfare demands serious legal consideration. In this episode of "Why Do Pets Matter?", I speak with Mark Momjian, a family law attorney who's been at the forefront of integrating animal law into family law practice and legal education. Mark teaches at Villanova Law School, serves on Pennsylvania's domestic relations advisory council, and has pioneered animal-assisted therapy in the classroom. Our conversation explores the intersection of animal welfare and human relationships, from the challenges of pet custody litigation to the role of companion animals in domestic violence situations. Listen to learn why animal law isn't just a niche specialty—it's essential to understanding the full scope of family dynamics and social justice. #AnimalLaw #FamilyLaw #LegalEducation #AnimalWelfare | 40m 07s | ||||||

We dive into how he took a simple idea; beautiful, durable collars, and turned it into a mission-driven company that supports rescues, empowers refugee artisans, and helps pet parents keep their animals safer than ever. Chris shares how his partnership with the FI GPS tracker has transformed the way families protect their dogs, why peace of mind matters just as much as style, and how data like steps, barking activity, and even water intake can help us understand our pets on a deeper level. We also talk about his love for the Irish Setter breed, the joy and chaos of raising active dogs, the way shelter needs have shifted since the pandemic, and how Lucky Dog gives back to the organizations doing the hardest work in animal welfare. This conversation is full of heart, practicality, laughter, and a shared passion for helping people and pets live safer, happier lives together.

| 12/10/25 | ![]() Root-Cause Healing and the Soul of Our Pets with Dr. Marlene Siegel | In this episode of Why Do Pets Matter, I sit down with @drmarlenesiegel, an integrative veterinarian and bio-regulatory medicine practitioner who is deeply committed to finding the root cause of “dis-ease” in our pets. Our conversation goes far beyond symptoms and lab work and into the deeper questions of why we are here, what our pets are really doing in our lives, and how nature itself holds clues to our healing. Marlene shares her belief that we are living in a kind of hologram where animals, bees, trees, and the natural world are constantly communicating with us and offering solutions. We talk about how our pets often mirror our emotional and physical imbalances, how their presence can help regulate our nervous systems through energetic “entrainment,” and why the animals in our lives at any given moment are rarely an accident.

| 11/26/25 | Heal the Beasts: A Curious History of Veterinary Medicine With Dr. Philipp Schott | In this episode of Why Do Pets Matter, I sit down with Dr. Philipp Schott, a retired veterinarian from Winnipeg and author of The Accidental Veterinarian and his latest book, Heal the Beasts: A Jaunt Through the Curious History of the Veterinary Arts. We take a fascinating walk through time to explore how humans have cared for animals for thousands of years – from a 12,000 BC puppy buried with its people, to medieval “elfshot” cattle, all the way to modern small animal practice. Dr. Schott and I talk about how the human–animal bond has always been intertwined with survival, emotion, and even spirituality, why industrial agriculture is actually the historical exception (not the norm), and how listening, trust, and honest communication between veterinarians and pet parents are at the heart of good care. We also dig into the role of money, options, and transparency in either strengthening or straining the vet–client relationship, and why showing a little vulnerability as a veterinarian can actually build deeper trust. If you love animals, veterinary history, or just want to see modern vet med in a whole new light, this episode will absolutely speak to you. Listen in, then go kiss your dog, cat, horse, lizard, snake, bird, or box turtle… because pets really do matter.

| 10/16/25 | Ask About the Pet: How a Simple Question Can Change Lives with Dr. Janet Hoy Gerlach Gerlach | On this episode of Why Do Pets Matter, I sat down with my dear friend Dr. Janet Hoy Gerlach, a licensed social worker and the driving force behind Ask About the Pet at the Open Door Veterinary Collective. We talked about how one small question, “Do you have a pet?”, can open the door to empathy, understanding, and better care for people in crisis. Janet shared powerful stories about how pets ground us during difficult times, how asking about them builds trust between providers and clients, and how the Open Door team is helping make veterinary care more accessible for everyone.

| 8/28/25 | Why Pets Make Us More Human: A Conversation on Animal-Assisted Therapy with Dr. Aubrey Fine | Listen to this episode of Why Do Pets Matter for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Aubrey Fine, Professor Emeritus at California State Polytechnic University and an internationally recognized pioneer in animal-assisted therapy. Dr. Fine takes us on his journey from growing up in a pet-free home to becoming one of the foremost advocates for the human-animal bond, a path that began with an unexpected friendship with a gerbil named Sasha. In this heartfelt discussion, Dr. Fine shares the therapeutic benefits of animals for children with learning disabilities, autism, and ADHD, while emphasizing why animal welfare must always come first in therapy settings. He reflects on more than four decades of groundbreaking work, his deep relationships with animals from therapy dogs to his horse’s foal “Fine-tastic,” and the profound lessons animals teach us about empathy, resilience, and responsibility. Dr. Fine’s contributions to the field are immense. He served 42 years as a professor at Cal Poly, is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in children with ADHD, learning disabilities, and developmental disorders, and has been recognized with the William F. McCulloch Award for Excellence in Human-Animal Interaction Education and Practice as well as the CSU Wang Award for Distinguished Professor. His publications include Handbook on Animal-Assisted Therapy (6th Edition, 2024), Afternoons with Puppy: Inspirations from a Therapist and His Animals, and Our Faithful Companions: Exploring the Essence of Our Kinship with Animals.
