Episode Details

In this inspiring episode of the Pets Add Life Podcast, Kristen is joined by special guest co-host Chloe Divita, executive producer and storytelling coach behind Real Talks, the short-form video series spotlighting pet champions. Chloe shares the story of adopting her Greyhound, Silke, and how misconceptions about the breed give way to surprising truths about their gentle, couch-potato nature. We also hear from Tracy Malcolmson, COO of Purple Cat Café in Glasgow, a community hub blending rescue cat welfare with café culture. Finally, Sue Petronella of Canine Companions joins us to celebrate the organization’s 50th anniversary and discuss how their expertly trained service dogs transform lives for people with disabilities—completely free of charge.
