In some cases, you can be doing ALL the right things to help your pets coexist, but everyone is still stressed and unable to live together peacefully.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of pressure on well-meaning pet parents who are struggling. And that really sucks.

In my chat with fellow pet professional Gia Savocchi, we talk about:

• how external pressures might cause people to keep their pets in a less-than-ideal situation
• the unhealthy double-standard: adoption = good, rehoming = bad
• how to intervene in conflicts between your animals (instead of relying on one to stand up for themselves)
• why educating the general public about normal dog and cat behavior is so important
