Can Dogs Smell Bad Intentions? Plus Pet Food Tips, Cat Teasing, and Turkey Trouble
On this lively episode of Animal Party, Deb Wolfe clears her desk with a fun, fast-moving mix of listener questions, animal behavior insights, and surprising stories. Deb shares what she really feeds her own dogs and cats, why she believes variety matters in pet nutrition, and whether pet insurance is worth it for an accident-prone dog. She also explores how humans unconsciously react to fear-based scents, why animals are even better at reading emotion and intention through smell, and what that means for trusting your dog’s instincts. Along the way, Deb talks wild turkeys on the attack, why cats love teasing and gravity experiments, the surprising origin of the Sphynx cat, and the amazing true story of a cat that helps train guide dogs by serving as the ultimate distraction.
