Talking Turkey. Is turkey bad for your pets? A caller had a dog get sick and was warned it was dangerous is that true? Pets should never eat people food, but there is no biological problem with a bite. The problem was this dog was way over fed by guests over the holidays. Dr. Brad can help with your medical questions too. Call or email any time.

President elect Obama and his family have almost made their decision about the new First Dog. It looks like either Portuguese Water Dog or a Labradoodle will get the appointment. We asked the Animal Talk listeners to voice their opinion in our poll and we got suggestions for everything from potbelly pigs to monkeys. A mixed breed dog is the best suggestion. Visit the AKC’s poll on line www.presidentialpup.com.
