Lisa delivers the Doggie Chronicles Tip of the Week about dog food allergies. If your dog shows signs of itching or has very dry skin, it’s quite possible that they may be allergic to something in their food. Dog food contains a variety of grains, including corn and wheat, which may be causing the irritation. Try changing to a brand that contains less fillers and more natural ingredients and there is a good chance that your pet’s chronic skin irritations will clear up.
Peter Bloeme, Founder of Hyperflite & Director of Skyhoundz Championships, the Canine Disc World Championship Series joins the Doggie Chronicles to talk about the event and his competition Hyperflite flying discs. Peter, a former world champion disc dog competitor with his border collie Wizard, was instrumental in developing the disc dog sport and competition which began gaining ground in the early 70’s.
Peter explains his vision for the Hyperflite flying discs, which were the first patented “frisbee†discs designed to stand up to canine use. They now have several key products including Jawz, SofBite, and Midnight Sun which glows in the dark for night use. They also have a specially designed line called the “Pup Discs†which are meant for smaller dogs who also have their own class level in the Skyhoundz competition “MicroDog†along with the standard “Freestyle†classes. Peter also shares some tips on how to get your dog started in this exciting sport.
Susan D’Anello, Founder, Doody Calls joins hosts Lisa Gorman and Scott Sheppard to talk about their nationwide solutions for pet waste removal. Susan and her husband founded the business to make extra money in 2000 and after starting locally in Northern Virginia area soon realized that not many companies offered “pooper scooping” services. The business focused on the needs of homeowners, apartment complexes, public parks, and recreation areas and in 2005 they franchised their company and now have over 25 representative territories across the United States.
They handle the maintenance of public dog waste stations and individualized cleaning services for larger community areas. For homeowners the costs averages about $15 a week for yard clean-ups which is much less than one would expect as they also help to minimize the unsightly “brown spots” that end up on your lawn areas.

Lisa delivers the Doggie Chronicles Tip of the Week about hot spots on your dog. Summer heat can frequently cause minor “hot spot” irritations that are often treated as dog allergies. If you see your pet aggravating the area excessively, don’t wait to bring it to your veterinarian for proper treatment.
Missi Salzberg, Owner, The Village Groomer & Pet Supply joins The Doggie Chronicles to share insights of her life’s experience in a family owned and operated dog grooming salon. Missi is an expert in the topic of educating owners and breeders on the topic of choosing a good groomer and what to look for when choosing the right groomer for your pet. The Village Groomer is well known in the Boston, MA area and services over 3,000 regular clients with their approach to “whole dog care”.
Today’s groomers are moving beyond a regular wash or cut and are skilled in specialized artistic cuts for regular clients and often make owners aware of skin or behavioral changes to ensure great overall care. The dogs should be hand dried vs. placed in a cage under a fan dryer and this is an example of what would set a pet care professional apart from a regular dog groomer.
